The Trump Administration has released disturbing emails from the FBI and Justice Department leading up to the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago. Internal communications confirm that some were expressing doubts about both the basis for probable cause and the need for a raid within the departments. The newly disclosed material also shows how some in the Biden Administration appeared hellbent on carrying out the search even as agents objected that it might not be necessary.
The memos also show that agents in the bureau’s Washington Field Office sought to persuade Biden Administration officials to consider alternatives and stressed that the entire matter might be resolved by a “reasonable conversation” with Trump’s lawyers. Those concerns were dismissed as were efforts to limit the search warrants to avoid bad “optics.”
The DOJ wrote to the Trump legal team on May 11, 2022 requesting that the former president return all classified documents in his possession. They set a deadline of May 24, but the Trump attorney later said he understood the deadline was flexible.
The emails show that the DOJ ruled out further efforts to resolve the matter, including a June 1, 2022, memo from the Assistant Special Agent in Charge stating “DOJ has been adamant that no accommodation would be given and that they would not reach out to the attorney.” That date is important since it was just a week after the first deadline and less than a month after the demand letter.
Yet, the DOJ officials were already treating the matter as closed in seeking further resolution. The WFO, however, noted that it “believes that a reasonable conversation with the former president’s attorney… ought not to be discounted.”When it became clear that the Justice Department was going forward with the search, an agent again counseled caution that the search should be “handled in a professional, low key manner, and to be mindful of the optics of the search.”
However, then-Deputy Assistant Attorney General George Toscas appears to have dismissed such calls for restraint on the scope or manner of the search. An agent wrote
“Since we heard Mr. Toscas say yesterday in the call that he ‘frankly doesn’t give a damn about the optics’ and Mr. Bratt has already built an antagonistic relationship with (Trump) attorneys…I think it is more than fair to say that the DOJ contact with (Trump attorney) just prior to the execution of the warrant will not go well. DOJ said as much yesterday.”
Documents also show that agents were concerned about the basis for the warrants and the need for additional, more recent support from witnesses.
Despite stating that it had nothing to do with the raid, documents also show that the Biden White House worked with the Justice Department to help brush aside executive privilege claims to facilitate the searches.
The most surprising aspect of these emails was how quickly Biden officials seemed to close the door on further efforts to resolve the matter despite references to promising communications with Trump counsel. Officials appear adamant that they were going to carry out the first search of the home of a former president. Later, the Justice Department was accused of staging certain scenes for photographs to embarrass the president.
Notably, agents also questioned the scope of the warrant and the need to narrow the rooms to be searched. Ultimately, Trump would criticize agents for going through the personal things and drawers of the First Lady.
The emails reinforce the view that the raid was carried out when there remained a possibility of reaching a simple accommodation with Trump counsel. Instead, officials launched a massive search with dozens of cars while insisting that there was little alternative.
*. The emails do show the FBI as slow down baba looey.
It was a campaign ad via raid. Low key with guns drawn. The uhaul was a classy touch. Where’s the photos of MAL after the burglary? Must have been a mess.
Repellant
If it was a mess, Trump would have published the photos on Truth Social. It is likely it was tidied up after the boxes of government documents were removed, like dusting where the boxes were. They probably even put a new roll of toilet paper in the bathroom Trump had secreted the materials, possibly gave the shower a scrub.
^^^^ Actually it helped DJT get elected. It was abuse and plain as day.
Did the archives miss those classified docs next to the corvette or odummers warehouses? What incredible idiotic abuse.
Classy uhaul 👍. 😭 embarrassing for all. The takeaway is the scale of importance the US holds in the world’s safety and peace as it fell to plunder after Twin Towers and the absurd obummer and dementia Joe.
Heart-felt condolences for all the families who’ve lost loved ones. This world is a lesser place for their absence and assets in heaven. ♥ we must hold that true.
True point. My 1st vote for Trump in 2024 because of the lawfare. pulled me from the libertarians.
I figured if THEY don’t want him so bad, he must be my guy.
Thanks commies! Good going working inadvertently for the cause of freedom and making america great!
Merrick Garland, that man with the high reputation for an impartial and judicial temperament, is looking worse and worse. It is becoming clear that either he possessed a desire to exact humiliate President Trump or he was incapable of managing his departmental affairs and so incompetently and passively allowed his subordinates free reign to act upon their own desire for vengeance and humiliation. The distinctly different treatment of Joe Biden (respectful) and Donald Trump (humiliation) in pursuit of similar types of documents, some of which were classified, is just one of many situations that reinforces the perception of bias rampant in Garland’s Department of Justice. I don’t know Merrick Garland but he seems to me to have found himself in a position for which he was extraordinarily poorly suited. Given his judicial legal background and public persona and the obviously partisan DOJ positions on key legal issues that he must have approved, he was one of my biggest disappointments regarding the Biden administration. His character, positions, and seemingly deserved craven reputation has all the makings, in skilled hands, of a well told classic tragedy.
On May 11 a federal grand Jury subpoenaed all documents in Trump’s possession marked classified. On June 3, at Trump’s direction, his attorneys handed over a group of these documents and signed an affidavit stating that Trump had no more such documents. But a whistleblower inside Mar-a-Lago later revealed that Trump and a couple of employees had moved many of the subpoenaed documents in order to conceal them from the FBI and that Trump still possessed many subpoenaed documents. At that point the DOJ told Mar-a-Lago to put a better lock on the storage room and then obtained a warrant to recover the rest of the subpoenaed documents. The warrant was executed and more than 100 of the subpoenaed documents were recovered. Trump’s obstruction was more than enough probable cause to obtain the warrant and the recovery of the subpoenaed documents completely justified the search.
Anon 5:32pm – That is total horseshit, but of course you’re already well aware of that.
Rabble:
Reminder to not feed the trolls. We don’t want them to become dependent on human interaction.
I am going to assume that the FBI “provided” these emails in the name of “transparency” Because Keystone cop Kash Patel may be trying to look good for Trump. He’s been doing a really bad job managing the agency and his continued bumbling of cases and incompetence are not helping Trump look good. Patel may be on thin ice with Trump.
Bondi may be helping out too because the DOJ has been screwing up important cases to Trump like Comey’s and James. Then there is the record number of no-bill findings by grand juries and juries acquitting many ICE charges on protesters. No wonder Professor Turley decided to write this hugely misleading article to feed to the MAGA gullible. It seems to be working…on them at least.
What a political hack you are.
So, the emails still point to a corrupt POTUS and DOJ. Whethere Patel and Bondi are incompetent is a separate matter that should not be conflated with the RAID at Mar-a-Lago, and the incompetence of SFBs Biden.
X, for your own good, you must face reality. These emails are real.
I noticed your thinking distortions are cyclic. this is your denial cycle.
The case was dropped. They REALLY didn’t have any probable cause and agents resisted seeing a political motive but were ignored because “Trump”.
The side you are supporting REALLY IS THE BAD GUYS as evidenced here and of course all the other “Get Trump!” schemes that failed.
TDS has fried your brain. google “thinking distortions”, and get well soon.
Ok…..Wow. Professor Turley’s article is grossly misleading. The “bombshell” emails released by Sen. Grassley, big surprise, he’s well known for releasing “bombshells” and other sensationalizing snippets and memos without clear context. Just your run-of-the-mill political distractions.
A couple of assistant FBI special agents aired concerns that there might be probable cause issues after the DOJ has repeatedly talked to Trump’s lawyer Corcoran who was already stonewalling and delaying and stringing along the DOJ while Trump moved boxes around and finding out Trump lied to the FBI about turning in all documents sealed the probable cause issue. They had to move fast because Trump was moving around documents that were NOT his to avoid FBI and DOJ scrutiny. He was hiding them from NARA and the DOJ which is obstruction.
John Say continuing to be wrong about the claim that President Trump owned the documents he took from the White House including classified documents is even more ridiculous. Turley is obviously carrying water for this latest narrative to deflect from the growing bad news on Trump’s policies.
‘The emails show that the DOJ ruled out further efforts to resolve the matter, including a June 1, 2022, memo from the Assistant Special Agent in Charge stating “DOJ has been adamant that no accommodation would be given and that they would not reach out to the attorney.” That date is important since it was just a week after the first deadline and less than a month after the demand letter.’
Deceptive comments. The omit the fact that two days later, on June 3, Trump was allowed to call the FBI to his house in order to turn over the documents that had been subpoenaed by the federal grand jury. At that time, and at Trump’s direction, his attorneys signed an affidavit stating that these were all of the subpoenaed documents and that Trump had no more of them. Memos and texts with no time reference or context can be easily manipulated.
Ok…..Wow. Professor Turley’s article is grossly misleading.
Oh? Grossly misleading? As in… BBBBUUUTTT…. MUH TURLEY!!!!! WE HATES IT!!!!
X, again, you must seek help before it’s too late for you. Nothing you said was even remotely real.
TDS has got you in it’s grip. It’s a man-made virus and you probably got it from the media or someone close to you.
I’m starting a clinic in belgium (far away from Trump) to assist the affected and search for a cure but I need donations.
You might be one of the lucky ones, by not isolating in fear and reaching out here, has exposed you to the very ‘fresh air’ you need to recover.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
– Declaration of Independence, 1776
Is it possible for anyone to fathom the depths of corruption in the Supreme Court-“INTERPRETED” communist American welfare state?
This makes the “Use of Deadly Force is authorized” memo from Garland look even worse!!!!!!!
Authorization to use deadly force if necessary is standard in most search warrants. It rarely has to be used, but it does protect the officers who are conducting the search in court if they are attacked while executing their legal search.
Authorization to use deadly force if necessary is standard in most search warrants.
Take a bow to acknowledge that you’re a prime specimen of low intelligence Marxist Useless Idiots.
So Merrick Garland felt there was probable cause to believe the Secret Service, that would be at Trump’s home when Garland and Wray’s panty sniffing FBI agents arrived, would fight a pitched gun battle to repel their attempts to enter?
A dozen or so federal agents laying dead, killed by other federal agents? Garland convinced you to defend that BS?
You do better pushing that other ridiculous lie: the Biden Bribery Laptop was assembled by Putin to be used as election campaign disinformation.
Garland has TDS, so yes he lives in a world where all kinds of nonsense is real to him.
Those with incurable TDS, driven to criminality unfortunately must be put outside of society.
Treat TDS like rabies.
The people behind the illegal raid will go unpunished. This is the Way.
wac says this was not a raid it was a premeditated armed robbery. Note: They wanted until SS had left with Trump or they would not have been allowed to enter armed
If anyone truly believes that any president packs any boxes when they are leaving the White House I have a perfectly fine crystal ball for sale, it can assuage you of misgivings.
Where was the infamous Mark Kelly advising the agents?
A valid comment. This was also one of the reasons Biden was not prosecuted for having classified documents. But on May11 a federal grand jury subpoenaed all documents in Trump’s possession marked classified. On June 3 he handed over documents marked classified and his lawyers signed a statement saying that Trump had no more of the subpoenaed documents. Soon after, however, a whistleblower revealed that Trump and a couple of employees had moved several of the subpoenaed documents before the FBI arrived in order to hide them. That meant that Trump had knowingly lied when he had his attorneys tell the FBI that he had handed over all of the documents marked classified. At that point Trump no longer could say that someone else had packed the documents and that he had no idea what they were.
Biden wasn’t President or in lawful possession of ANY classified documents. He stole them and then allowed his despot drug addled son to use the information within them to sell to the highest bidder.
Well sonofabish….
1. The FBI has zero obligation to care about optics, ask the person to willingly turn over evident, or try to negotiate with the suspect’s lawyers.
2. Trump was already asked to return the documents and refused.
3. Trump did steal and hide classified information. This is a crime that many have been prosecuted for.
The TDS runs strong in this one⬆️⬆️⬆️
Everything I wrote is objectively true.
You spelled ‘Nothing’ wrong.
Don’t feed the animals.
As President Trump was the ultimate authority on what is classified and what isn’t so can’t prosecute for taking something if he says it isn’t classified. He is not “many” he is the President.
There is zero evidence that Trump declassified the documents. And if he did then it would be an even bigger problem because that would mean he gave vital state secrets to our enemies.
The POTUS is the head of all classification. He can literally hand classified material to anyone in the world for any reason and it instantly becomes declassified if they so wishes. No paperwork, no stamp, no review. All power in the Executive Branch flows FROM the POTUS. Everyone who isn’t congress, or SCOTUS, is an extension of POTUS authority(borrowed). Their is no 4th branch of government that controls how the rest interact or do their elected duty. Stop believing today’s lies simply because it makes you comfortable with all the other lies you have had to absorb to get to where you are.
Trump was indicted for possessing national security documents. Under the terms of the Espionage Act it is a felony for a private citizen to possess national security documents.
Comey had a perfect case against Hillary for violating the Espionage Act, until Strzok persuaded him she lacked a criminal mens rea, when she copied classified docs to her bathroom private email server. (“Extremely careless” instead of “grossly negligent.”)
And the Penn-Biden center didn’t even exist when Joe could legally posess those documents. Hur had him dead to rights. But Hur decided that the most powerful man in the free world was just a forgetful old doofus.
Under the terms of the Espionage Act it is a felony for a private citizen to possess national security documents.
Now imagine everyone’s surprise that you never mentioned former VP Biden regarding that – when he had stolen classified documents from 40 years of crime scattered all throughout the USA in unsecured storage being shared with ChiComs and Putin’s FSB agents.
Shocked. SHOCKED, we are! Even after you watched Biden – a one Democrat interstate crime wave.
Comey also slipped your mind while you were practicing so hard to get ready to try pretending you’re something you’re not?
Clinton another oversight?
That other felony laptop – the Pedo Weiner/Abedin laptop that had all of Clinton’s stolen classified documents on it. After she had sworn to the FBI she’d turned over all the stolen information under subpoena (that she hadn’t criminally destroyed)?
Such a clever little commie from the Democrat Borg you are.
The search uncovered more than 30 national security documents in Trump’s possession. The Espionage Act makes it a felony for a private citizen to possess such national security documents. That was the foundation of the indictment against Trump.
As a private citizen he could be prosecuted for possessing certain types of national security documents and specified in the Espionage Act, and that was what he was indicted for.
Your “facts” are as bogus as you. How much do you get paid per comment as one of the Bolshevik Dem trolls? Trump was steadily working with the National Archives (as they repeatedly said, but the communist Dem media would have nothing to do with facts as it is against their leftist religion). You should move to Canada (the leftist province – Quebec) before the long overdue six week civil war between Americans and leftists like you finally starts.
Steadily sandbagging is what Trump was doing.
“steal” “hide”? You are not rational. You also forget that the FBI had inspected and asked Trump folks to put an extra lock on a closet containing documents. Far from hiding. And, you cannot steal something of which you initially lawfully acquired possession.
The FBI did not inspect Trump’s storage facilities. On June 3 when the FBI came to Mar-a-Lago to pick up the documents marked classified that had been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury, the asked to look inside the storage facility for themselves, but Trump’s attorneys refused to allow it. After the DOJ learned that Trump had illegally withheld many of the subpoenaed documents, they notified Mar-a-Lago to get a better lock for the storage room and then obtained a warrant to search for the rest of the subpoenaed documents. Among those documents they found more than 30 national security documents that are a felony for a private person to possess according to the Espionage Act.
Facts have no meaning to MAGAs.
Let us know when you actually have one.
From WWII? 😂
Anon 11:38am – Red Bull wouldn’t be enough to wake you up, so “smelling-salts” or some other ammonia derivative would be the prescription for you. You truly need to be weened off-of the leftist propaganda you’ve been bottle-feeding from.
Trump did steal and hide classified information.
Senator Bribery Biden did steal, secret, and sell classified documents he had no right at any time to possess over 40 years of felony crimes while in public office.
And you were waiting to vote for him again while lyin’ like a Biden.
Fixed your lie for you – thank me or try convincing us that is wrong.
“The memos also show that agents in the bureau’s Washington Field Office sought to persuade Biden Administration officials to consider alternatives and stressed that the entire matter might be resolved by a “reasonable conversation” with Trump’s lawyers.”
Those conversations had already taken place and the result was that Trump’s lawyers submitted false documents claiming that all documents had been returned. This was clearly not the case as the known documents were found at Mar-a-Lago.
” some were expressing doubts about both the basis for probable cause and the need for a raid within the departments.”
No doubt. Trump sucktivists are at every level of American society and the FBI is certain to have those who would suck up to Trump if he had murdered children and buried on the Mar-a-Lago greens on the grounds that it would disrupt Trump’s golf game to exhume them.
“less than a month after the demand letter” is far more time than required to get the boxes and deliver them to the DoJ.
“further efforts to resolve the matter”? What ever would those be? Trump famously demands his lawyers delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, ad infinitum. The goal is to never deliver whatever is asked; it’s a game of “I win, you lose” and Trump intended to never hand over the documents.
There would never be an effort to resolve; that could have been done in 24 hours after the demand letter was delivered.
“Justice Department was accused of staging certain scenes for photographs”
Justice Department was FALSELY accused of staging certain scenes for photographs. The folders were laid out to be plainly photographed at the scene of the crime, not to represent how they were found. In situ photographs would be of the edges of folders and pages, leaving no identifiable evidence of the covers or contents.
So good at gathering straw, Turley tries spin it into gold and ends up with this stream of diarrhea. Straw man arguments.
“Trump would criticize agents for going through the personal things and drawers of the First Lady.”
Oh, boo hoo. He has ICE agents picking off people just outside the courtrooms they are about to take the citizenship oath within. It may be Trump is expressing jealousy because she won’t let him touch her drawers.
Bombs away!
Right on target watch the GooGoo meltdown…💀
A President has the authority to declassify classified documents and needs no approval from anyone to do so. If Trump had declassified all the documents that were found in his home by the FBI before he left office, then there were no classified documents in his home to return.
Maybe. But Trump did not declassify those documents. They were all still marked “Classified” and there is zero documentation of declassification.
Declassified or not, they remained government property. Since they were not released to the public, they were not declassified.
Sadly, your TDS is showing loud and clear.
Turley leaves out most of the key facts, such as the dates when these texts were sent, or the fact that on May 11 a federal grand jury subpoenaed all documents marked classified that were in Trump’s possession. Or the fact that when Trump lied to the FBI about handing over all of the subpoenaed documents he was committing criminal obstruction. As for Trump’s lawyers, Trump had basically suborned perjury when he instructed them to lie to the FBI. And so on and so forth.
Turley leaves out most of the key facts,
There’s some signature George X BBBBUUUTTT… MUH TURLEY!!!!, right there.
Stage IV F.O.S.
All the memos, emails and pictures do is confirm the lawfare Comey and Wray’s FBI (with Garland’s approval) was willing to use against the former POTUS, while there weren’t enough agents with enough integrity to speak out against the clear, massive violations of law.
Thankfully, all of their willingness to “ignore the optics” helped get Trump reelected, once people could finally understand how far Democrats and their propaganda media were willing to go to frame their political opposition to win elections.
The next 3 years should reveal even more as the discovery process proceeds in the Comey, Brennan and others’ trials.
Just the fact that they ignored Biden’s egregious violations certainly proves it was all political.
The search warrant was not necessary as Trump had previously given consent to the FBI to search. I don’t know if this was included in the Search warrant affidavit and it should have been and the warrant not signed. The Biden Admin did a major show of force for the cameras as they did when going after Trump’s supporters. When they searched Biden’s property they allowed his attorneys to search first and did a plain clothed walkin.
“Trump had previously given consent to the FBI to search. ”
Giving consent and then allowing the search are two different things. Trump says a lot of things, but he didn’t say anything like: “I’ve closed Mar-a-Lago for the next two weeks. Send as many agents as you like and look anywhere you like. The place is yours to search for those documents which I already swore, via my attorneys, are nowhere to be found at Mar-a-Lago.”
I expect it was more “You can search, but nothing is here. Contact my attorneys, who will never return any calls, to schedule a time I won’t let you onto the property.”
Trump did not give anyone permission to search his property prior to the search warrant being issued and executed. When the FBI had previously asked to inspect Trump’s storage room Trump’s attorneys had refused to allow it.
I’m one of millions who have lost respect for the DOJ because of the Obama and Biden administrations and the harm they have caused to this country. All involved with the raid will go free and again, nothing will be done. Why does it always come out this way… where Democrat administrations to what they want… while Republican can’t…
Yes, Trump going free is a national failure.
Without probable cause everything that Smith seized in the raid is thrown out. Further, by pursuing the raid without probable cause and with the associated interagency communications, President Trumps civil rights were violated and exposure of election interference and malicious prosecution were made apparent. I would believe Jack Smith is wearing Depends today during his testimony.
Nothing that was seized will be thrown out because there was no prosecution because of it. It also won’t be thrown out because it’s not going into the Mar-a-Lago dumpster for disposal, but into the hands of those in charge of preserving Federal records.
Many words might be used to characterize the weaponization of the Justice Department under the regime of Brandon the Marionette, including “corrupt,” “unprincipled,” sinister” and “treasonous.” Perhaps the shortest one would be: “evil.”
Burnerry Plano Tx
Turley is simply throwing out red meat to agitate the MAGA mob.
The premise here, as Turley states in his concluding paragraph is, “the raid was carried out when there remained a possibility of reaching a simple accommodation with Trump counsel.”
However, Turley knows perfectly well that the government had exhausted all “simple accommodations” with Trump.
The National Archives had an inventory of missing documents. Trump admitted that he had taken them, claiming that they were his rightful possessions. Trump did in fact return SOME documents claiming that he had returned ALL of them, but the National Archives knew that this was false.
At this point, the government asked Trump’s attorneys to sign an affidavit declaring under oath that ALL documents had been returned. This affidavit was signed by Trump attorney Christina Bobb at the direction of attorney Evan Corcoran who has testified that Trump had told him that ALL documents had been returned.
The National Archives knew this was false.
This exhausted all attempts at reaching a “simple accommodation”, forcing the FBI to seek a warrant for a search that was authorized by an independent judge given this set of facts.
I understand the doctrine of not burning the past administration on a pyre is to not appear to be a Banana Republic. Is it likely that all the investigation is to document the occurrence without attempt for reprisal?
So the FBI acted as agent for The National Archives, which is a kind of librarian, ignored by Democratic Presidents like Clinton and Obama. You have just made a strong argument for the abolition of the National Archives, which had become a political weapon to be used against ex-Republican Presidents.
edwardmahl,
They are just mad as all the things we said about the Biden FBI and DOJ were not only correct, but now we are seeing it proven from internal emails and memos. This is the kind of restoring law and order, transparency we voted for. The funny part is, as their narratives collapse, watching them try to spin, spin, spin!
Transparency? Trump is afraid to show his college grades from when he was a genius. He’s not been transparent about anything but his contempt for everyone who is not himself. Where are the medical records from his latest foray into the hospital?
Of course the Trump supplicants inside the FBI would be on Trump’s side. They would say anything and do anything to protect their dear leader following his failed attempt to get Mike Pence to throw out the results of a free and fair election.
Ahhh!! You narrative is failing and now you have to resort to more gaslighting and spin, spin, spin!! Keep it up and you just might drill yourself a oil well!!
How marvelous!!
Let me guess – yet another paid Bolshevik Dem troll with no facts or honesty. We need a national Purge Month to clean out the Dem sewer.
Let me know when Barry Sotero foreign student releases his College transcripts and foreign student loan and grants information…
Like Obama’s, Trump’s freshman and sophomore grades at a decent undergrad (Fordham vs Oxy) were good enough to let him transfer to an Ivy (Penn vs. Columbia).
Transparency? Trump is afraid to show his college grades from when he was a genius.
You’re having this Midol Moment, Karen, because Trump followed the example set by the winner of the two previous presidential elections?
Should we find it odd that you didn’t attempt that same complaint over the eight years prior to Trump? When the self-proclaimed Smartest Guy In The Room was running for president? The genius afraid over an eight year period to show the true believers his academic record?
Better yet! You were voting for him after he displayed his genius by informing you that he had determined through careful scientific researh that you, your parents and your entire family are systemically White Supremacist!
There is psychiatric help for being so mentally ill that you reward people who heap emotional abuse on you.
You never got special access to Obama’s academic record when nobody else in the world could.
The National Archives had nothing to do with it. On May 11 a federal grand jury subpoenaed all documents in Trump’s possession marked classified. On June 3 FBI agents came to Mar-a-Lago to pick up the subpoenaed documents. Trump’s lawyers gave them a folder of such documents and at Rump’s instruction signed an affidavit stating that Trump had no more of the subpoenaed documents. A short time later, however, a whistleblower at Mar-a-Lago revealed that Trump had lied and had moved many of the subpoenaed documents in order to conceal them from the FBI. That is called criminal obstruction. The DOJ obtained a warrant to recover the rest of the subpoenaed documents, and the search uncovered more than 100 subpoenaed documents that had been hidden from the FBI. Funny how Truley seemed to forget these basic facts of the case.
Turley is working on his second book about stoking rage and here he is showing his expertise at doing just that.
The only ones displaying rage are the annony morons as their narrative is failing, again.
The rest of us are like, “Well, yeah, we knew the Biden DOJ and senior leadership at the FBI were corrupt. Now, the emails are just proving what we already knew.” That is not rage. Heck, it is not even a surprise anymore.
Just more evidence of corruption of the Biden admin or another day that ends in ‘y’ for Democrats.
Turley is simply throwing out red meat to agitate the MAGA mob.
BBBUUUTTT… MUH TURLEY!!!!! I WANT MY BRIBERY BIDEN BACK!!!!!
Chicom and Putin FSB agents have families to feed, you know!
They did so under the guise of the Presidential Records Act by then Director David Ferriero of the National Archive (the Archivist of the United States), demanding the return of Document(s). However, He did not demand the return of Documents held by Biden at the same time (if ever on his watch).
A.I.: Archivist Mar-a-lago
The “Archivist Mar-a-Lago” refers to the involvement of the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and its then-Archivist, David Ferriero, in recovering presidential records from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in early 2022, which ultimately led to the FBI’s subsequent search and investigation into mishandling of classified documents. NARA, under Ferriero’s leadership, requested and retrieved 15 boxes of records, discovered classified items within, and alerted the Department of Justice, triggering a major legal and political controversy over the Presidential Records Act and national security.

“He did not demand the return of Documents held by Biden at the same time (if ever on his watch).”
There was a list of missing documents in Trump’s possession. There was no such list of documents held by Biden.
There was no such list of documents held by Biden.
That’s a hell of a defense strategy for Bribery Biden being a one Democrat crime wave of stealing HUNDREDS of boxes full of classified documents over a 40 year period.
“The Archivist didn’t know Biden had hundreds of boxes of stolen classified documents – so unlike Trump, my legal analysis is that there was no crime.”
