Unsealing the Mar-a-Lago Search warrant, it contained everything you’d expect in a fake warrant, bogus probable cause, wild accusations about the dangerous national security contents of documents contained in Trump’s locked basement. So, when it came to 59-year-old Southern District of Florida magistrate Bruce Reinhart approving the search warrant, it meant nothing because he has no clue as to the accuracy of the contents. Finding handwritten notes with TS/SCI, the highest level of document classification, including another not labeled “info re: President of France,” the Justice Department stretched the facts to make 76-year-old former President Donald Trump look bad. Telling the whole story, FBI agents found, “executive grant of clemency re: Roger Jason Stone, Jr.,” it exposes the worthless materials found in the new treasure trove of documents.
All the fake media pounced on the documents, quickly citing Trump violating the arcane 1917 Espionage Act, where DOJ prosecutors think they have a case against the former president. No one in the media gives Trump the presumption of innocence, trying and convicting him in public of violating the Espionage Act, Presidential Records Act or Title 18, Section 2071 of U.S. Code, pertaining to record keeping. Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland said yesterday that he approved the search warrant, saying he would have preferred the subpoena route. Garland, who plays Atty. Gen. in name only, lets Deputy Atty. Gen. Lisa Monaco call the shots. Monaco worked in 2016 with 62-year-old former FBI Director James Comey on Crossfire Hurricane, the counterintelligence investigation into Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign, all built off totally fake probable cause from Hillary’s Steele dossier.
So when Garland talks of the great patriotism and integrity of the men and women in the Justice Department and FBI, he forgets quickly how the nation’s most prestigious intel and law enforcement agencies all worked in overdrive to prevent Trump from becoming president. Garland said that the search warrant has appropriate probable cause, the same probable cause Comey used in 2016. Garland said his department has appropriate probable cause to issue the search warrant to Trump. But what does Roger Stone’s pardon have to do with top secret or highly classified documents? Can you imagine, the search warrant said dozens of items were seized, described as a “leather-bound binder of documents,” “box of photos, and “handwritten notes,” none sounding like they had national security significance. No one reported that any of the documents seized had anything to do with nuclear secrets.
When Democrats and the media refuse to acknowledge they promoted the Russian hoax against Trump, the public has more problems believing the latest chapter in sabotaging Trump’s possible 2024 run. Last time around, Hillary supplied the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA all the fake probable cause to investigate Trump. Former FBI Director James Comey has no problems launching a counterintelligence investigation based on Hillary fake dossier, making wild allegations about Trump’s ties to the Kremlin. Why should anyone but the most partisan Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans believe that any of the documents collected by the FBI had any real national security significance? Unless the DOJ and FBI can show a clear-and-present danger to anyone of the seized documents, them it’s preposterous that they would prosecute Trump for violating the Espionage Act or anything else.
DOJ and FBI have cried wolf for too long, claiming Trump was a Russian asset, when it turns out it was all based on the fake Steele dossier. Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland said the DOJ and FBI employees should be given the benefit of the doubt in terms of integrity. But the last time they conducted a probe into Trump or his campaign, it turned out to be pure fabrication. How can the public trust vaunted institutions when they’re used for political purpose to discredit certain politicians? Garland wants everyone to forget what happened in the 2016 campaign and years of unfounded accusations against Trump by Democrats and their friends in the press. Where’s the apology from the New York Times, Washington Post and broadcast outlets like CNN and MSNBC, when they published fake stories and reported on Trump’s ties to the Kremlin, and penchant toward dictators.
Unless the DOJ and FBI can show specific documents that threaten U.S. national security, they have no case against Trump, other than more wild allegations. Whatever right wing group lashed out over the DOJ and FBI’s treatment of Trump, it’s not Trump fault but the fault of reckless prosecutors driven mainly by politics, not by legitimate criminal behavior. Cherry-picking evidence picked up at Mar-a-Lago to justify the raid on Trump’s residence does no convince the public that Trump did anything wrong with storing certain documents. Just because the DOJ or FBI says that a possible crime was committed by Trump, doesn’t mean that anything illegal took place. Learning about Roger Stone’s clemency request has no bearing on anything, certainly not the Espionage Act, Title 18, Section 2017 or the Presidential Records Act. Trump’s entitled to the presumption of innocence.
