According to emails obtained by Fox News, the FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago in 2022 but descended on Trump’s Florida estate amid pressure from Biden’s corrupt Justice Department.
Biden’s FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump’s Florida estate.
More than 3 dozen machine-gun-toting agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and by November, Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence.
The raid came after the National Archives (NARA) visited Mar-a-Lago in early 2022 and demanded documents from Trump.
Court documents revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago authorized by US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Corrupt FBI agents released staged photos of the ‘classified’ documents laid out on the floor of Mar-a-Lago.
The emails obtained by Fox News show FBI agents going back and forth about the classified documents and how the FBI didn’t have actual probable cause to conduct the raid.
“Absent a witness coming forward with recent information about classified on site, at what point is it fair to table this?” one FBI agent wrote, according to Fox News. “It is time consuming for the team, and not productive if there are no new facts supporting PC (probable cause)?”
Another email obtained by Fox revealed that the FBI’s Washington Field Office did “not believe (and has articulated to DOJ CES), that we have established probable cause for the search warrant for classified records at Mar a Lago.”
“DOJ has opined that they do have probable cause, requesting a wide scope including residence, office, storage space,” one agent wrote.
Another email reveals an the FBI intended to raid Mar-a-Lago in a “low key manner.”
“The FBI intends for the execution of the warrant to be handled in a professional, low key manner, and to be mindful of the optics of the search,” one agent wrote.
Fox News reported:
The FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in 2022, but moved forward amid pressure from the Biden Justice Department, with an official saying he didn’t “give a damn about the optics” of the search, newly declassified documents reviewed by Fox News Digital reveal.
Fox News Digital reviewed emails between FBI and Justice Department officials in the months leading up to the August 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago, with FBI officials expressing concerns about a lack of probable cause to execute the search warrant on the then-former president’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
“Very little has been developed related to who might be culpable for mishandling the documents,” an FBI official serving as an assistant special agent in charge, wrote to another FBI official, Anthony Riedlinger. “From the interviews, WFO has gathered information suggesting that there may be additional boxes (presumably of the same type as were sent back to NARA in January) at Mar-a-Lago.”
“WFO has been drafting a search warrant affidavit related to these potential boxes, but has some concerns that the information is single source, has not been corroborated, and may be dated,” the official continues. “DOJ CES opines, however, that the SW’s meet the probable cause standard.”
“Even as we continue down the path towards a search warrant, WFO believes that a reasonable conversation with the former president’s attorney, (stating that the FBI and DOJ are readying a search warrant, and have developed information that there are more documents at Mar a Lago), ought not to be discounted,” the official wrote.
Not shocking at all. https://t.co/0Y1aXphq0L
