In response to 'FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago', the writer fails to cite facts. One of the reasons that the affidavit will not be released is that it contains the names of agents, potential witnesses etc. All could be in jeopardy if made public. Additionally, the former president had been given numerous opportunities to return all the documents taken, yet ignored them. His attorney even signed a statement that they were all returned, when in fact, they were not. The FBI had no choice. No one is above the law. But don't want to confuse the writer with facts.

And ALMC, since when is the FBI credible? These agents would not allow security cameras to remain on, had a blast going through Melania's underwear closet and kept Trumps security guards, including the Secret Service and his attorney from entering the premises. Of course they had no choice. As Stalin said a long time ago, "get me the person and I'll find the crime."

Well written, Pelayo. Fortunately, the actions of the Federal Intimidation Board are only making our great President Trump’s influence grow and become stronger. The Dems are a caricature – they’re Wile E Coyote against Road Runner Trump. Every time the Dems attempt another ACME stunt, they end up hurting themselves more than our great President Trump. BTW, expect rabid left-wingers to rehash debunked fake news and lies about the raid.

Great letter - you nailed it.

Oh sure Pelayo. When you don't like the message, blame the messenger. The FBI recovered THIRTEEN top secret documents. This is 18 months since he left office. Trump had ample opportunity to return these documents. Trump's lawyer lied about the possession of these documents. As an intelligence officer when I was in the military, if one left any classified information out on top of a desk overnight, one could kiss his career goodbye. We should not underestimate the severity of this crime. This is just one more example of an immoral traitor who thinks he is above the law.

So Rel - do you really believe it took them 18 months to figure this out? Come on, man, the timing is impeccable. Perhaps Trump had declassified them already anyway. This whole event is quite suspicious in nature so let's wait until the compromised DOJ gets to the bottom of it. And if Trump broke the law, just like Hillary and others, he will be punished.

Hey Dirk, do you keep up on the news? The DOJ and the Archives had every reason to believe all documents previously requested were returned especially when Trump's lawyer lied and told them they had been returned. It is told that someone inside Trump's compound told the DOJ about possible documents. Do you think Trump took 18 months to figure he broke the law? Of course not because he is incapable of self reflection. So, Dirk tell us. What timing for rescuing top secret documents is best? Trump never declassified one document as the process of doing so takes considerable paperwork and time which Trump has never used in his lifetime. Since when has Hillary broke the law as she has never been charged? Your old tripe is so lame.

Dirk van Ulden Aug 18, 2022 8:59am

And Trump has not been charged either. So what is your point? Only folks on the Right lie?

Do you suppose there is any slight possibility the CIA was feeding DJT intentionally defective information? That's what they do when hunting moles. They don't bust moles. They leave them in place, surround them with reliable people, feed the suspected mole intentionally defective information, and then wait to see where in the world it shows up. The CIA and the FBI often don't communicate with each other. It would be very interesting to know what those boxes actually contain. There is some slight possibility the boxes contain a mix of real secrets and planted disinformation.

A excellent review of how the FBI has been politicalized by Democrats. We need a Republican administration to clean house and finish the Biden and Clinton investigations. The law should be applied equally and not on the basis of party affiliation.
