Mar-a-Lago

Ex-FBI Intel Chief Believes DOJ has “No Case” Against Donald Trump

By Ryan Delarme, August 29, 2022

A former assistant director of the FBI recently claimed that he thinks the affidavit used to obtain a search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago shows that the government has “no case”.

The affidavit in question was released last week by a magistrate judge in response to court filings submitted by certain media outlets and third parties. The legal document, however, was heavily redacted and revealed very little about what the FBI agents were searching for on Aug. 8 and why.

Kevin R. Brock, the former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI and principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), wrote in an opinion piece Sunday:

“We now know why the DOJ wanted the affidavit—which is supposed to articulate the probable cause needed for a legitimate search—to be kept under seal,”

Brock then goes on to list his reasons for doubting the FBI:

“First, the affidavit confirmed that the FBI’s investigation was triggered in January 2022 at the request of the National Archives, which wanted certain documents, especially classified documents, that it considered to be presidential records to be turned over to it by Trump.” 

“Second, from what I have seen, I don’t believe the affidavit articulates how a federal law was or is being broken. For those who hold out hope that the affidavit’s redacted sections fill that gap, there is almost no chance that they do,” 

According to Brock, the document’s argument for probable cause only seems to include “half of what is needed to show a possible violation of the federal statutes that are cited in the warrant”. Brock added that in his experience, it’s unlikely that the government will release the redacted portions of the affidavit.

The contents of the affidavit that were not redacted, do not show sufficient cause to believe that Trump wasn’t authorized to have the documents at his Florida residence.

“A criminal violation of those statutes only exists if it can be established that the person being investigated was not authorized to possess, store, transfer or copy those documents… This is an easy element to establish against anyone in America. Except for one person.”

Former aides to the President, and even Trump himself, claim that there was a standing order to declassify any materials that left the White House for Mar-a-Lago.

Meanwhile, Trump wrote in October on his now-banned Twitter account that he had declassified some FBI-related materials. He also issued an order on Jan. 19, 2021, to declassify some FBI Crossfire Hurricane documents.

“As president, he had broad, legally intimidating authority, established by law and court determinations, to declassify any and all documents and to determine what is and is not a presidential record,” 

“Trump and his legal team have asserted that this authority was exercised while he was still president. Therefore, a violation of these fairly low-level and seldom-prosecuted document-oriented statutes cannot be proven.”

Ex-Spy Chief Suggests Former President Donald Trump Should be Executed Over Classified Records

By Ryan Delarme, August 15, 2022

In the wake of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, reports are circulating claiming that former President Donald Trump is “improperly holding classified papers” which are said to include nuclear documents.

The Washington Post was the first to report that the FBI raided Trump’s home in order to retrieve “nuclear documents” that they claim were improperly stored there. Donald Trump has since made several statements, denying any wrongdoing altogether and suggesting that “they could have had it any time they wanted”. 

He’s even gone so far as to say that planting information isn’t beyond the moral parameters of the FBI, invoking the memory of the Steele Dossier.

On the former president’s Truth social account, he retruthed a meme outlining the most recent examples of potential FBI malfeasance: 

Despite the former President’s statements, MSNBC contributor Michael Beschloss and former CIA Director Michael Hayden are confidently intimating via social media that Trump should be executed, equating him with the American spies convicted and executed for sharing U.S. nuclear weapons secrets with Joseph Stalin’s Russia, Beschloss tweeted: “Rosenbergs were convicted for giving U.S. nuclear secrets to Moscow, and were executed June 1953.” Hayden then retweeted Beschloss’ ominous post, commenting: “Sounds about right.”

Sounds about right. https://t.co/hJCjxhN2BQ

— Gen Michael Hayden (@GenMhayden) August 12, 2022

Jerry Dunleavy, of the Washington Examiner, called out Hayden in a tweet of his own, saying, “NBD just a former NSA & CIA Director (who also was among the dozens of ex-intel officials who signed the infamous October 2020 Hunter Biden laptop letter) out here suggesting that Trump should be executed.”

This isn’t the first example in recent history where somebody has called, or hoped, for the death of the former president publically. Last month, we reported that an MSNBC panelist had made a grim statement while on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd.

RELATED: NBC’s Panelists Wish for Donald Trump’s Death On-air “We Have No Plan for This, Except Sitting Around Hoping He Dies.”

During the televised discussion, the conversation shifted to whether or not the 45th President will run again in 2024 when one of the guests, Mark Leibovich, conceded that Democrats have no real plan for a Trump candidacy besides hoping that he dies.

Mark Leibovich: “Look we have no plan for this, except sitting around hoping [Trump] dies.”

In the Wake: Ron DeSantis, Kari Lake, Others Respond to Raid on Mar-a-Lago – Epstein Confidant Signed Warrant

By Ryan Delarme, August 9, 2022

President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI on Monday night. According to multiple mainstream media reports, the reason for the raid was that Trump allegedly brought classified information from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.

After the former president announced that his home was raided by the FBI, supporters of former President Donald Trump immediately began gathering outside of Mar-a-Lago. Footage of the crowds arriving circulated on social media, showing supporters honking horns and waving flags in support of the 45th president.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz noted that the raid seemed to be “misconduct.” 

“The raid is supposed to be a last resort. But this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against its political enemies…This is improper, and this is misconduct.”

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has come to the defense of former President Donald Trump after the FBI raided his Florida Mar-a-Lago home.

“The raid of MAL [Mar-a-Lago] is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves… Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.”

Rand Paul chimed in as well, saying:

“The @FBI raid on President Trump was approved by Director Wray, who also claimed that the illegal FISA warrants used to spy on Trump were constitutional. Today’s raid is outrageous and unjust, but predictable.”

Candidate for Arizona Governor Kari Lake also expressed concern over the mass hire at the IRS:

If they can target a former President, they can (and will) target you.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that they hired 87,000 IRS agents the day before this raid?

Not a single one of us is safe.

Some Republicans are demanding that FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Friday to explain the Department of Justice’s actions in raiding former President Donald Trump.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, noted that the House would be in session on Friday to vote on the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” which passed the Senate on Sunday, that Wray and Garland should use the opportunity to appear before the committee on Friday to explain the extraordinary raid to Congress.

.@HouseJudiciary should bring Chris Wray and Merrick Garland to testify on Friday.

Americans deserve answers! https://t.co/ST1Otj2BKn

— Rep. Tom Tiffany (@RepTiffany) August 9, 2022

“This Friday, we’re going back to vote on this stupid bill … Merrick Garland, Chris Wray, come to the House Judiciary Committee this Friday and answer our questions about this action today, which has never happened in American history. … Why not talk to President Trump and have him give the information that you’re after? This is unbelievable, and understand the history here: One year ago it was Merrick Garland using the Patriot Act against parents. One day ago, it was 87,000 agents in a bill the Democrats passed to go harass Americans from the IRA. And today, we have the raid of a former president’s home? In America? So — heck, we deserve answers now, and this Friday would be a good time.”

This outcome seems unlikely, as the decision to ask Wray and Garland to testify would be up to committee chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

The Gateway Pundit is reporting that it was Judge Bruce E. Reinhart from the Southern District of Florida who reportedly signed off on the warrant to raid President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago on Monday night. This Judge has represented several of Jeffery Epstein’s employees in connection with the sex trafficking investigation against the financier.

The New York Post reported:

Sources tell The Post that Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the warrant that enabled FBI agents to converge on the palatial South Florida estate on Monday in what Trump called an “unannounced raid on my home.”

Reinhart was elevated to magistrate judge in 2018 after 10 years in private practice.

Months after his appointment, the Miami Herald reported that he had represented several of Epstein’s employees in connection with the sex trafficking investigation against the financier.

According to the paper, Reinhart resigned from the South Florida US Attorney’s Office effective on New Year’s Day 2008 and went to work for Epstein’s workers the following day. In 12 years as a federal prosecutor, according to his official biography, Reinhart “managed a docket that covered the full spectrum of federal crimes, including narcotics, violent crimes, public corruption, financial frauds, child pornography and immigration.”

Despite the raid, President Donald Trump released a new political video early Tuesday morning. You can watch the video HERE.
