You contention is incorrect. Trump did not get a copy of the warrant prior to or during the raid. Even his attorney who arrived on the scene after the raid was underway was not given a copy of the warrant, nor was she allowed to observe the search, and they requested any cameras be turned off. The cameras weren't turned off because no one who knew how they worked was there to turn them off. I'm sure any surveillance system on the level of Mar-a-Lago has a backup if power is removed. She was read the warrant verbally and told to leave the premises. She indicated what she heard of the warrant wasn't very specific.ScottMon » 12 Aug 2022, 6:34 pm » wrote: ↑ he was given a copy as they searched his home. He could hand it off to any news agency.
We now have the warrant available. It was indeed very non-specific. The warrant was basically to obtain any documentation which may have originated during Trump's 4 year presidency. In other words, so non-specific as to be categorized as a witch hunt. To drive this point home even further, the location of the documents had already been shown to the FBI 2 months prior (June) and Trump's team indicated at that time if they wanted to have them delivered for examination they need only make the request. The FBI's response was merely to request an additional lock on the storage location.
We will likely never know the content of the material in question. Revealing such information would presumably cause more damage to the country than having it stored at Mar-a-Lago, a fairly secure location I'm sure. Regardless,
1. Trump claims he declassified the documentation contained in the boxes (his authority to do so),
2. Trump did not pack the boxes himself, so even he may not be fully aware of what they contained,
3. The manner in which the raid was conducted leaves open the possibility additional documents were planted. Something not entirely out of the realm of possibility due to the history and recent revelations as to the veracity of the FBI in regards to Trump. The raid itself is evidence of this possibility due to the fact it was done in a very heavy handed manner, after the documents had previously been offered up for examination, under a process were zero transparency as the to legitimacy of anything discovered during the raid could be verified. Every action conducted during the raid indicates the FBI planned the raid process to insure no misconduct on the part of the FBI agents could be proven. However, by this same action they have guaranteed nothing the raid produced can be trusted.
The FBI and their conduct has only served to get more egg on the face of the FBI. They have got to stop this "get Trump" at all costs and by all means strategy. Unfortunately nothing the FBI does can be believed and the more they attempt to use their charter as a weapon against their obvious political opponent (i.e. Trump), the worse they look. At this point there is little choice left but to dismantle the FBI, put all of them out on the streets and create one or more new entities to carry out the functions chartered to the FBI. In many cases current FBI functions may be eliminated entirely if unnecessary. Restructuring would be needed to insure Agency bias doesn't continue after it is dismantled. This is the easier route than giving the FBI time to make corrections themselves. The FBI has been given ample opportunities to correct itself and get back in line with their constitutional oath. They have failed utterly and appear entirely tone-deaf to the damage their political bias has foisted upon the nation.
