Reports have been coming in that the FBI took documents that are protected by attorney-client privilege as well as separate documents protected by executive privilege during their raid last week of Mar-a-Lago. If true, it would be a tremendous breach of protocols, not to mention breaking the law.
But the lawless Department of Justice under Merrick Garland has refused to allow a special master to be assigned to go through the documents and determine what is privileged and what isn’t. If indicted, Donald Trump can use this in his defense; we’ll discuss further if it comes to that.
Trump has responded on Truth Social to the report:
Oh great! It has just been learned that the FBI, in its now famous raid of Mar-a-Lago, took boxes of privileged “attorney-client” material, and also “executive” privileged material, which they knowingly should not have taken. By copy of this TRUTH, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken. Thank you!
It’s a lot more polite than most would have been. Considering all he’s been put through in the last week, not to mention the previous seven years, it’s amazing that he’s still able to “respectfully request” anything from these tyrants.
The FBI’s actions are truly shameful.
Well, the FBI has certainly been weaponized as well as other agencies. Our thinking should be, why did they do this? They knew there was nothing in those doc’s or the warrant doc’s weren’t worth anything. BUT, for the same reason military SO commands collect all information on any subject they plan to take down, along with all associates and everyone they do business with. Certainly, the demorats got a treasure trove of info from Trump and his family to be used during campaign if he runs and thereafter. They may have also gotten a lot of info about Congressmen/women, Senate men/women who are now or will be in office. It’s all usable for lies, etc…
Back in the good old days when we had a Bill of Rights, it said:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
