FBI warrant for Trump search relied on media reports, like bungled Russia FISA warrants before it

FBI's use of news stories in seeking the Russia FISA warrants against Trump adviser Carter Pages was sharply criticized by the internal watchdog of the Justice Department.

Like the Russia collusion FISA warrants before it, the FBI search warrant for Donald Trump's Florida estate relied on multiple news media reports from outlets like Breitbart and CBS to justify its unprecedented request to raid a former president's home.

For instance, the bureau relied on a local CBS report to establish that the former president had moved boxes suspected to contain documents from the White House to Mar-A-Lago in mid-January 2021, just before he left office, according to the partially redacted FBI affidavit made public by a court Friday .

"According to a CBS Miami article titled ''Moving Tucks Spotted At Mar-a-Lago,' published Monday, January 18, 2021, at least two moving trucks were observed at the PREMISES on January 18, 2021," the memo related.

Another citation referred to a Breitbart article from May in which former Trump adviser Kash Patel was quoted as saying he did not believe documents found at Mar-A-Lago and returned to the National Archives were classified. The citation refers to Trump as "FPOTUS," meaning former president.

"I am aware of an article published in Breitbart on May 5, 2022, available at https://www.breitbart.comvoliticsi2022i05/05/documents-mar-a-lago-marked-classified-wereah-eadv-declassifi.ed-kash-patel-savs/, which states that Kash Patel, who is described as a former top FPOTUS administration official, characterized as  'misleading' reports in other news organizations that NARA had followed classified materials among records that FPOTUS provided to NARA from Mar-a-Lago. Patel alleged that such reports were misleading because FPOTUS had declassified the materials at issue," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit supporting the search.

The next few paragraphs are redacted so it is not readily apparent why that reference is relevant. The affidavit states that a total of 184 documents with classification markings had been found when Trump returned documents to the Archives in 15 boxes early in 2022 and that was among the reasons the FBI believed it had "probable cause" to search Trump's home on Aug. 8.

Obtained on false pretenses from media reports for political purposes.

All an excuse to use agencies to do Democrat dirty work under color of law.

Every one of those SOBs should be up on charges, and terminated from any future government employ.

So, plant lies in Trump-Hating outlets and outlets that bpublish “both sides”, find a biased judge, and Trump’s Constitutional right get bypassed, again.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Kind of revealing how many are claiming the Trump raid was justified when the DOJ itself won’t reveal the justification.

He was suspected of being suspiciously suspicious by the usual suspects.

Four living former presidents, and no one in the media has asked even one of them to explain the protocols he followed for transferring documents upon leaving the White House.   :shrug:

Brilliant observation. Evil partisan press.

I flushed my journalism degree in 2016 after the paper of record penned an editorial justifying its one sided “reports” on Trump’s candidacy by saying it was too important to the future of democracy to give balance because Trump was so dangerous they couldn’t risk it.

Obozo promised he would digitize all of his and return them. Not holding my breath on that one either.
