I sure hope they had a good and credible reasons for the raid.  Waiting with bated breath to hear what it was[/quote]

[b]Please tell me you're a nitwit without using the word nitwit..[/b].[/quote]

hey, I said I'm waiting with bated breath to hear the credible reasons for the raid.  If it's there, I'll be 100% on the FBI's side.  Surprising to me though that Trump is the one advocating most loudly for release of the warrant.

Garland prefers not to say, but probably what happened is that there was a recent realization, perhaps due to a tip-off, that ultra-sensitive nuclear docs were held at Mar-a-lago. That set off an urgent process to recover them before any more harm could be done - harm, meaning our most secret nuclear tech info (US or foreign) used by enemies or potential enemies of the state. You understand that the first entity Trump shares or sells it to can then turn around and sell it to someone else. Once it's out, it's out. Even though Trump had this since he left the WH, the DOJ cannot say "oh it's been so long, what's another few months!". No, as soon as they know, it's the topmost national security priority to recover the docs. They have no choice.

You've got to accept that the LAST thing DOJ wants to do is piss off the MAGA set and set off a political firestorm before the mid terms. DOJ HAD NO CHOICE WHEN THEY REALIZED THE DANGER.

This isn't a little game of owning the right, or owning the left. It's gone beyond the political domestic sphere. We are now at DEFCON 1 in terms of global threat, if all this is indeed true and very sensitive nuclear information has fallen into the wrong hands.

I want to point out here that the public may perhaps never have the full picture, given the sensitive nature of the information. Perhaps a foreign country already has the info, but the American public will never know. Our current and future presidents will have to deal with the fallout of the cursed Trump presidency and post-presidency. Trump himself, if this is really what happened, must be neutralized at all costs. He is a clear and present danger to the USA, our allies (whose nuclear info may have been stolen), and indeed the whole world order.

Again, the public is not the best judge of all of this for now. It's difficult to trust our institutions given the political climate, but I am convinced they are working to defend us.

If it was an urgent process, why wait three days from signature to execute?[/quote]
It’s called the weekend.[/quote]

Search warrants can be executed on weekends.  More likely there were strategic reasons to wait a few days, such as needing to fully briefs the agents who would be executing the raid on what they are looking for, putting together a plan for where they were to search to make sure no areas were overlooked, the number of other people who would be on the premises at the time (if DOJ was trying to keep this low profile and there are far fewer guests/club members at Mar-a-Lago on a Monday than a Saturday, that could make Monday preferable to execute).  [/quote]

The warrant covers all documents for all four years. I don't think that's specific enough to require two weeks.[/quote]

The Presidential Records Act pertains to all documents created between 1/20/2017 and 1/20/2020. The warrant allows for the search and siezurecof such documents at a specified address. What’s so confusing? [/quote]

Glad you agree with me.[/quote]

DP.  It seems pretty clear you have no clue what you're talking about and are just trying to confuse and distract the discussion.[/quote] Read attachment B of the warrant[/quote]

I am well aware of Attachment B.  I have no idea how you believe that fits into whether it was appropriate that the court allowed fourteen days to execute the warrant or that it was executed three days after it was issued.  You are just throwing random things out there to try to create issues where none exist.[/quote]

They are two separate issues. One is the broadness of the warrant, which implies a fishing expedition. If you know there are specific documents pertinent to national security, such that you need a raid, you don't have to be that broad in the warrant. The issue of timeliness further supports a fishing expedition. [/quote]

You’re being intentionally obtuse. The DOJ was seeking two categories of materials: (1) all documents that are subject to the PRA and (2) a subset of those documents that are subject to positive controls based on classification status. The warrant necessarily has to be broad enough to encompass all of category (1). It’s not a fishing expedition if all materials created between 2017-2020 are subject to search and siezure. It’s also not a fishing expedition if all materials with a classification marking are within category (2). Again, they are described with reasonable particularity as required in Exhibit A. The missing piece is the affidavit of probable cause. You are chasing your own tail, blindfolded. [/quote]
