Did the DOJ and FBI Lie To Get Another Warrant, This One to Recover Documents Exposing Their Crimes In Getting the Previous Fraudulent Russiagate Warrants?
Neo-Neocon shared this theory, written up by her commenter TJ Olsen, but offered by Robert Barnes on Viva Frei's podcast.
Federal defense attorney and aggressive Con Law advocate, Robert Barnes, has an unexpected take on the Deep State's further engagement with ex-Prez Trump. He believes that it wasn't egregious overreaching. Instead, he argues that indications support his argument that Trump asked heads of Departments what documents they absolutely would not want to see declassified? (This has been mooted elsewhere.) And then declassified them and secreted them away as insurance over the Deep State. Thus, Barnes argues that the MAL raid was an aggressive attempt by the Deep State to regain possession of said documents from Trump and keep their wrongful heinous deeds hidden or simply destroyed outright. The huge size and strategy of going in -- hoping to be secretive and hoping that if discovered, it would redound against Trump, smacks of audacious desperation! In other words, incredibly risky. Further, he thinks that an overly broad warrant is consistent with his theory. He adds many details. I have to listen again to his development of his points, from around 20 to 60 minutes mark, in this recent interview hosted by Viva Frei.While I think there's a good chance that theory is overall right, the right absolutely must not follow the left in The Walls Are Closing In/The Train Is Running Out of Track claims. I do not for one second believe there are a handful of documents that establish, conclusively, the case that the Deep State committed a coup -- for crying out loud, why would the Deep State coupists write that down? That's not how it works. As you may have heard, Holocaust deniers/Hitler apologists are fond of pointing out that Hitler did not sign any order to undertake the final solution. Yes, he was careful about that and gave his orders verbally to Heydrich and others to relay his orders to the rest of the Nazi High Command. I'm pretty sure our coupists have learned a thing or two from Hitler. Another reason to doubt there's a smoking gun memo: Trump would have already have released that. He wouldn't just be holding on to it for future leverage. Still, while one must not fall into the trap of imagining that These Documents Mean The Much-Prophesized Storm Is Finally Here, one can imagine they contain information the plotters would find embarrassing and would prefer to not have to answer about at all. And in fact a Newsweek article claim that Trump was in fact "hoarding" documents about Russiagate, and that the main point of this raid was to collect up these damaging documents and hide them once more.
The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago last Monday was specifically intended to recover Donald Trump's personal "stash" of hidden documents, two high-level U.S. intelligence officials tell Newsweek. To justify the unprecedented raid on a former president's residence and protect the source who revealed the existence of Trump's private hoard, agents went into Trump's residence on the pretext that they were seeking all government documents, says one official who has been involved in the investigation. But the true target was this private stash, which Justice Department officials feared Donald Trump might weaponize. "They collected everything that rightfully belonged to the U.S. government but the true target was these documents that Trump had been collecting since early in his administration," says the source, who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive issues.The source says that the negotiations to return the documents the National Archives claimed must be returned were cordial -- until the DOJ and FBI were tipped that Trump had Russiagate documents. And then they decided they had to raid Mar-a-Lago to get those documents, using the pretext of recovering the fairly mundane National Archives documents as cover.
But in the course of its investigation, the FBI and Justice became aware of Trump's private collection. As Newsweek previously reported, a confidential human source revealed that the former president wasn't planning to divulge that he had possession of some of his own documents and that he did not intend to return them. ... The two U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the situation tell Newsweek that while some of the intelligence documents might have dealt with nuclear weapons, that was not the main focus. "Donald Trump kept documents that interested him," one of those officials says, "sometimes Iranian or North Korean nukes, sometimes Ukraine or Russia, some foreign leaders." It wasn't the subject matter per se that was of interest to Justice as it was fear that Trump might "weaponize" the information, including for personal gain, the official says.Like, for example, exposing the misdeeds of the Russiagate coupists?
The source say that it is helpful to think about their being two different sets of documents: the National Archives documents mentioned in the warrant, which the FBI is not really interested in, but which they claimed "exposed sources and methods" in order to justify the extremely broad search warrant, and the actual Russiagate documents, which were their true quarry, but which they did not want to admit. And which they might have very dubious legal pretext to seize, because Trump actually declassified them. Though, as John Solomon reported, the DOJ then slow-rolled the declassification order and informed Trump hours before he left office they needed more time to go through redactions -- thus claiming that the declassification had not gone through. Bullshit; the president's order was legally effective as soon as he gave it. A partisan leftwing bureaucrat has no right or power to veto him. Two other morsels to chew on, which may be congruent, or incongruent, with the above reportage. First: Paul Sperry, who Twitter banned without cause or explanation, reports that Hillary Clinton has been lobbying the DOJ hard to raid Trump's home and seize his documents for months now.
"Trump was particularly interested in matters related to the Russia hoax and the wrong-doings of the deep state," one former Trump official tells Newsweek. "I think he felt, and I agree, that these are facts that the American people need to know." The official says Trump may have been planning to use them as part of a 2024 run for the presidency. The high-level U.S. government officials explain that it was not necessarily the classification level of the documents nor even their subject matter that investigators were focused on. "All official documents, regardless of classification, are required to be returned to the Archives under the Presidential Records Act," one of the officials says. "And surely the FBI was going about its business of retrieving everything."
Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸He links this New York Times article, telling the story of the bitter liberal retiring National Archives director who saw Trump leaving the White House with boxes and decided that this needed to be investigated.
@JackPosobiec The DOJ affidavit is based on that NY Times article Maggie H wrote a while back, mixed in with hearsay and innuendo. That's why they won't release it Screenshot this
In a statement, David S. Ferriero, the archivist of the United States, did not criticize Mr. Trump or directly accuse him of violating the Presidential Records Act. But Mr. Ferriero strongly defended the National Archives' mission and the need for presidents to follow federal record keeping laws. "The Presidential Records Act is critical to our democracy, in which the government is held accountable by the people," Mr. Ferriero said. "Whether through the creation of adequate and proper documentation, sound records management practices, the preservation of records or the timely transfer of them to the National Archives at the end of an administration, there should be no question as to need for both diligence and vigilance. Records matter."Tucker Carlson offered more texture to this story. He says this bitter liberal bureaucrat saw Trump leaving with the boxes on TV, and huffily exclaimed, "What's in those boxes?!," as if a man leaving an office he'd worked in for four years would not be expected to leave with boxes. And lobbied the DOJ to open up a file on it, ostensibly to make sure Trump didn't take any of his precious National Archives material. Meanwhile he gave Obama millions of documents to keep in his unbuilt "library." I've seen various speculations that the real reason the DOJ refuses to show the affidavit supporting their bullshit warrant is that it is based on media reports like this one -- which is the same M.O. by which they obtained their Russiagate warrants, citing media reports for which they themselves were the unacknowledged sources. Will Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Eyepatch John McCain demand to know whether Hillary Clinton or her lawyers or allies has been in contact with the DOJ about this, pushing another Russiagate on to the DOJ and FBI, which the DOJ and FBI promptly decided to take up? Or will they just go along with it? Spoiler: The latter.
Both of the below are worth watching, if you have the time.

There is no evidence that Peter Strzok ever worked or served in any FBI field office. Nor is there any evidence that Strzok attended the FBI academy in Quantico, Virginia. There is no evidence Strzok ever graduated from Quantico. Any of these would indicate his attachment to the FBI but they cannot be found. Strzok’s history shows that he left the Army and was immediately assigned to the White House.
.. they show a document signed by Strzok with title "Station Chief"
.. could Peter Strzok have worked for the CIA (not the FBI) ?

They do keep records, though, Bureaucracies are meticulous about record-keeping. Was there something incriminating? Maybe. Was it a veritable Rosetta Stone of malfeasance? Maybe, but less likely.
But it doesn't matter where on the "incriminating" spectrum it is, because the people who did it are accountable to no one.

This is the lie around which they are coalescing. The president has final authority and there is a process, but it is advisory. The president can choose to not take the advice. This is being framed as "the president cannot declassify unless and until we say so and make our redactions." This is not true, but it is the very consistent story and I think it's what they're going to stick with. Something about lies and world travel and pants comes to mind.

As you may have heard, Holocaust deniers/Hitler apologists are fond of pointing out that Hitler did not sign any order to undertake the final solution. Yes, he was careful about that and gave his orders verbally to Heydrich and others to relay his orders to the rest of the Nazi High Command.
We only know about the Wannsee Conference because a single attendee neglected to destroy his copy of the meeting minutes, most likely out of carelessness rather than design. The document was found by a US Army investigator after the war. Heydrich had ordered all copies of the minutes destroyed, and had written a new set of minutes with all of the frank and explicit language edited out.
On the other hand, the Germans were largely obsessive about record-keeping (just like their stereotype), so even when they destroyed files, there were duplicates found in multiple places, which came back to haunt a lot of the Nazi war criminals.

Yeah, what goes in the Beltway gets yawns in the hinterlands as a process story. Essentially, if living conditions for the voters sux, then all things get stuck to the regime in power fair or not. Nixon for example had a bad economy as the Vietnam hangover and oil shock pushed the US into recession. Have a scandal like Harding--eg Teapot Dome or Reagan's Iran Contra but a decent economy, the stench goes away.
These are lies for consumption within the media and the Beltway, not really for the general public. Smahhrt people are often the easiest to con simply because they are afraid to admit that they don't understand something complicated or to display their ignorance asking questions.

As I understand it he's worked with FBI and Nat'l Archives on these documents in the boxes, regarding better security at least, so he had to know, if he didn't already, that they contained hot stuff hence already copied and stashed where they'll never be found by FBI. Probably several copies, some offshore.

I don't know that's true. Not only does he has his huge civil suit against Hillary and the whole Russiagate cabal there's also the Danchenko trial coming up in a few weeks. Another person who seems to think this is at least partially about the Russia documents is Kash Patel and he is in a position to actually know even more than Julie Kelly or Mollie Hemingway since he has been working to get the information out.
I'll turn it around, why would the DOJ/FBI be stupid enough to pull off this raid when a frigging 3 year old could have told it would have blown up in their faces? This has made Trump more popular not less and damaged the feds.

Yeah it was. The KGB was involved with the coup to maintain the USSR iirc.
The dissolution of the KGB lead to many of them operating privately for the oligarchs, leading to a period of chaos and rampant murder, which Putin was instrumental in resolving (seemingly by giving many of them government jobs again).
Y'know how in the 90s Russian businessmen were always getting kidnapped, tortured, and/or killed? That's due to things like the KGB going private.

Yup. The entire 302 system is designed for deceit and dishonesty and railroading. We have audiotape now.

Possible but occam's razor tells me they wanted these documents to never see the light of day which is why they have kept them hidden for 6 years and thought it was worth risk of bad PR to recover them.
One of the earliest reasons the DOJ gave for going after the documents is that their release would jeopardize signal intelligence sources and methods. I read that as spying and it wasn't just on Trump. If proof of what they were really doing to American citizens was released to the public all hell would break loose.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if it turns out that Wray and his club are largely responsible for this and that Garland and the Politburo didn't know. It took Garland a long time to make a statement, and then that statement was weak and unconvincing. I suspect that the couple of *days* of delay amounted to repeated telephone calls with Wray and the Politburo where Wray said, essentially, "Yeah, it was me. No, I will not go on TV and take the blame for it. If you go on TV and blame this on me, I'll nail your ass to the wall. I have plenty of evidence that you did it, and I know where a shit ton of your skeletons are. Capiche?"

It is the result of the game of telephone. Some back office bureaucrat was talking to his media friend about what those documents were, and in stressing how important they were said "These are like the nuclear codes that will blow up the [cia, fbi, russian hoax,...]"
And the media moron ran with it.
My theory on the raid remains that this is standard FBI strategy of having DJT deny something legal to a fed, and the raid was an attempt to get back the documents while charging him with lying to a fed. That is always their go-to prosecution.

Pence is a sad empty piece of fecal material masquerading as a human being and finds out that there is no honor among traitors. Like Cheney, he is yesterday's news and his fifteen minutes of media adoration is spent. The Dems don't give a shit about him and the GOP rank and file just want him to go away preferably to another country without extradition. I hear Sri Lanka is nice for a man of his tastes.

Being that the junta is trying to make a three front war: China, Russia, We The People; when it becomes blatantly obvious that Doe Min Yan won't be enough to throw the "elections", then Biden, as his last act as a surrogate for a legion of demons will spark the wars to end all wars.

Lack of property rights was not generally much of an issue with Europe. Most of the new kingdoms were initially pretty free and populated largely by yeomen (the originating tribes being mostly of approximately equal status part-time warriors part-time farmers). There were particular events that lead to different parts of Europe being more or less free at different times. The HRE and Poland both had relative high points for liberty. Poland is peculiar because of the way their nobility and voting worked. The HRE was horribly complicated and fractured.

Cabals. One-party states like dictatorships, monarchies, etc. are rarely monolithic. There are always various factions vying for supremacy within the Party, or simply engaging in influence-peddling and empire-building even if the faction doesn't think it will come out on top (or even doesn't want to ).

The public are retards, largely. They only react if a celebrity slaps another celebrity or if a titty pops out during the Super Bowl.
Trump collected RG documents because he knew/knows the government will try to arrest and execute he and his family and asking for these documents for his defense during discovery would result in the government hiding all of the relevant info.

Things that are classified are under the control of the government.
Classifying is not as easy as declassifying.
Otherwise, why couldn't Trump have re-classified Comey's "notes"? And if he could have done that, could he have collected them from the press organizations where Comey's lawyer spread them?
I mean, the media and anti-Trumpers will try to tell you some cock-and-bull story about something where there is no way they would allow that for Trump. But we don't have to fall for it.

You win big, quickly, once you figure out how he plays and use that.

The USSR was running a lot of our leftism up until it collapsed(there are still some communist and environmental orgs that are Russian but politically they're much less important). Ted Kennedy was the last leader of a united Democrat party. It looks less coordinated because it genuinely is less coordinated than the past.

Indeed.
Much of the globe was propped up by Soviet subsidies laundered through their Politburo, in turn after their extortion of the same money from the West.
An international version of robbing Peter to bribe Paul, that lasted for half a century.
My favorite outcome of this was when the Norks had that nasty famine after the USSR collapsed - and tried to defray their debt to Russia with a gigantic slave trade as a transfer payment. I think it was like 100,000 or so slaves, if memory serves.

Nothing is going to come of this raid now - I think any indictment in DC being discussed is a non-starter. Sure, Merrick Garland is a weird Nazi, but he's not into getting something started that gets his reputation stained to the point that legal people start pointing and doing the Nelson Muntz laugh...and he's allowed these liberals to push him dangerously close to having that be his legal legacy.
You can't have third graders screeching for something that you, a grown man who has been in the legal world for 45 years, knows makes you look like a buffoon, much less a Nazi to 50% plus of the country - even if all the babies at WAPO and the NYTs want it badly. They can get screech to get veteran reporters kick off the NY Times editorial board - its a different story getting you to make yourself into a complete nutbag in front of your colleagues that you respect.
I'm going out on a limb - Garland drops this whole thing.
Posted by: Boswell at August 17, 2022 04:26 PM (+Cgut)
The Fed were looking for something specific, and since no one is leaking anything, it seems likely they did not find it, whatever it is. More search warrants coming, in more jurisdictions? Somehow, I think Garland shot his wad with this one, given the tenor of his hostage video news conference the other day, but who knows how desperate the deep state really is and how willing they are to keep pushing this search warrant stuff.

So do I.
I'm just talking about how little sense there is in the story they want us to believe.
"See! It was dangerous! They planted bombs!"
"But they didn't go off, and yet they proceeded largely unarmed--and all it took was one person getting shot, like they didn't know that anyone was going to get shot."
There's really no tie to the bombs, or any indication that the "attackers" expected bombs to go off, because they didn't seem to wait for them, and supposedly the "attack" happened, largely unarmed without the bombs.
The only "proof" they have is "OF COURSE THEY PLANTED THE BOMBS! WHAT KIND OF CONSPIRACY NUT ARE YOU??!!"

The workers are also Korean.
Russia is terrified of letting Chinese into Siberia for obvious reasons (there are more Chinese just in Manchuria than the whole population of the Russian Federation), but Koreans and Vietnamese are not viewed as threatening.

Anecdata ... my Boomer dad. He was, at different times; a coke dealer, pool hustler, Union Democrat, Carpenter, bankruptcy filer, on and on. Always worked hard at whatever he did, even if it was against the law.
Suddenly, he's a Republican. And he absolutely HATES the Russians. He never fought against the Russians. He got in the National Guard to avoid 'Nam. But now, just before 70, he's found Patriotism.
Its a Boomer thing, for some Boomers. They grew up thinking they were part of a Cold War against the Russians. It defined them. They ain't gonna' let it go.

When her husband and Al Gore were required to reconstruct many, many emails (Monica?) related to their Administration for National Archives, that was under the PRA such as the current Trump records allegations are.
Interesting, perhaps, is just very recently before all of this warrant and record search stuff took place, it was rumored some Executive branch Federal agencies had managers going office to office through years of records that should have been archived ages ago. Congress should certainly be able to question heads of cabinets and agencies if that's true.

The Junta/Deep State/Uniparty regard Trump as illegitimate and will not be afforded the perk, privileges and deference typical of ex-Presidents.
He had documents they did not want him to have, and by G-d he will not have, so they emanitzied an excuse to get them.
This exercise also has other benefits that Trump remains under a cloud of "investigation" which allows them to keep mining and pursuing other avenues to, perhaps, land the Deep States White Whale/Emmanuel Goldstein.
