President Trump’s team has revealed a highly suspicious comment made by an FBI agent during a meeting at Mar-A-Lago two months before the raid that may very well prove Trump was being set up for a raid.
The unprecedented raid on the Florida home of former President Trump continues to bring factors to light concerning all the players including the FBI.
This week has already seen matters unfold, starting on Monday with a ruling concerning the warrant used by the FBI to conduct the search.
Early on Monday, U.S. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart, the judge who approved the FBI’s search warrant, rejected an argument from the Department of Justice and admitted the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was “unprecedented.”
In a Monday morning filing, Reinhart rejected the Justice Department’s argument to keep the affidavit “sealed,” citing the “intense public and historical interest.”
Reinhart wrote that he rejects “the Government’s argument that the present record justifies keeping the entire Affidavit under seal.”
“The Government argues that even requiring it to redact portions of the Affidavit that could not reveal agent identities or investigative sources and methods imposes an undue burden on its resources and sets a precedent that could be disruptive and burdensome in future cases,” Reinhart wrote. “I do not need to reach the question of whether, in some other case, these concerns could justify denying public access; they very well might.”
He added: “Particularly given the intense public and historical interest in an unprecedented search of a former President’s residence, the Government has not yet shown that these administrative concerns are sufficient to justify sealing.”
Reinhart said he has given the Justice Department an “opportunity to propose redactions if I declined to seal the entire Affidavit,” something he granted last week, giving the government a deadline of Thursday, Aug. 25 at noon.
“Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that by the deadline, the Government shall file under seal a submission addressing possible redactions and providing any additional evidence or legal argument that the Government believes relevant to the pending Motions to Unseal,” the motion states.
During the highly anticipated hearing in the West Palm Beach Division of Florida last Thursday, Reinhart said he will unseal some of the procedural filings currently under seal on the search warrant docket.
Later that same day and in response to the raid, former President Trump filed a motion asking a federal court for an independent third-party review of documents taken from his Palm Beach residence by the FBI in the raid.
According to the motion, after retrieving said documents on June 3, one FBI agent present made an odd exclamation to Trump’s team: “Now it all makes sense,” the agent said, according to the legal motion.
Trump’s motion detailed the events leading up to the FBI raid dating back to Jan. 20, 2021, the day Trump and his family moved out of the White House and back to their home at Mar-a-Lago.
The motion argues that once Trump moved back to Florida, employees at the National Archives inquired with concerns that the former president may have inadvertently transferred classified documents with him.
“The request for a so-called special master to review the documents could be filed as soon as Monday in Florida”, a person said, requesting anonymity because the matter isn’t public.
Trump also plans to ask for a court order requiring the Department of Justice to provide more details about the property that was seized and to return materials that weren’t covered by the warrant, the person said,” Bloomberg News reported.
But this was not the first time the FBI had been to Mar-a-Lago in an official capacity.
FBI agents visited former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate a few months before the Aug. 8 raid of his Florida residence to retrieve documents with classification markings.
The 45th president states in the motion he filed that he determined a search of his estate may be necessary to find additional documents and chose to invite DOJ Security Division Chief Jay Bratt into his home to retrieve the documents.
In January, Trump says his team reached out to the National Archives and asked the agency to pick up 15 boxes of documents.
Bratt and three FBI agents came to Mar-a-Lago.
“Whatever you need, just let us know,” Trump told the agents prior to the search, the motion said.
After Trump handed over some documents Bratt had requested, the DOJ official asked for and was given permission to search a storage room.
It was then that one of the FBI agents made an odd statement, Conservative Brief reports.
“Thank you. You did not need to show us the storage room, but we appreciate it. Now it all makes sense,” the agent said.
Bratt later asked Trump to secure the storage room, which the former president did by adding additional locks and security measure
Two months later, on Aug. 8, FBI agents arrived at Mar-a-Lago to conduct their unannounced raid and proceeded to “search” for items they had already observed stored in the home.
Questions arise as to the strange comment and even stranger actions.
It all stinks and we all know it. The FBI is so corrupt as proven when Hitlary was not charged with what they KNEW she had. The good people of the FBI need to step forward and be a whistleblower so all this will stop for the law abiding American people.
I can’t even imagine the national outcry had this happened
to President Truman or President Eisenhower during the 1950’s!
Back then,in spite of what party a President belonged to,
each party seemed to have total respect towards the Office of the President!
The Democrats today have totally disgraced themselves all for the fear
of losing political power to a very popular President!
The dims mission is to deliver us to the WEF .
Lucky for us they have failed .
It is fairly obvious that this is just another blatant attempt to discredit Mr Trump so that he cannot run in 2024 & upset the Democrat/socialist/obamy Marxist parties grasp for total power over the Nations wallets.
OK , but why ? In light of years of their failures , why ?
The Gustapo FBI have proven beyond any doubt that they along with The DOJ and the communist Democrats and Rinos are Domestic Terrorists along with the illegally placed President and his entire family
There is no reason to believe that there are good people in the FBI and DOJ. Think when there is some problem with a gun by an idiot, they always make a law or rule that treats us all the same. That’s how I regard them, all the same.
Every bugger from joey on down need to stand for a PEOPLES TRIBUNAL like the French had in 1789. Lady Razor need to build 200 of them, 2 for every state and 100 for the Feds
President Trump’s a brilliant man and plays 3D chess beautifully! I bet you dollars to doughnuts he knew the FBI would eventually illegally raid his home. He continues to drop the crumbs, and the fascists eat them up. He’s always two steps ahead of them.
