FBI Executed a Warrant at Mar a Lago; the Investigation Continues

Oh jeez.

If there has been a breach in SIGINT due to trump's reckless handling of these docs in the last 18 months, the damage to national security could be extreme. @uftaipan

 

Stealing nuclear secrets? And you guys thought that Fauci was the villain

 

they are literally waiting for what to think and say from maga congresspersons and pundits. tucker, hannity, gatez, mtg, etc.

 

Garland should have said "Per Ted Cruz's request, we've decided to request the unsealing of the warrant".

 

You guys don’t listen or read very well. There is like one or two trump guys in here. Who are you talking about?

 

I just can't fathom that a patriot would write much less post such utter and complete trash. As foolish as you look now, you're going to look damn foolish when you find out what Trump had refused to turn over.

And your criticism of the DOJ and FBI is just despicable. Thank god for them!!!

 

They won’t care…

 

There is no bottom for anonymous partisans.

 

I agree. The warrant was signed on Friday, but the search didn’t take place till Monday. There’s no way the FBI waited an entire weekend - 3 days - if Trump has nuclear secrets at Mar-A-Lago. That would be grossly irresponsible.

 

There have been some doozies from you (like multiplying annualized inflation by twelve) but this has to be in your top 10 for dumb posts.

 

That image won't leave my head, and I can t stop chuckling. Good one!

 

Trump to Donor: $20 million and I’ll give you a peak of our nuclear codes.

 

Contemporaneous reporting about the attempt to transfer nuclear technology to SA
House investigates 'White House plan' to share nuclear technology with Saudis

Flynn was fired in 2017 and has since pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in the Russia investigation. But planning for the Saudi nuclear project may be ongoing to this day, according to the report.

“The whistleblowers who came forward have expressed significant concerns about the potential procedural and legal violations connected with rushing through a plan to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. They have warned of conflicts of interest among top White House advisers that could implicate federal criminal statutes,” the report said.

The report also cites the role of Trump’s son in law, Jared Kushner. A top NSC official told colleagues that he was promoting the IP3 plan “so that Jared Kushner can present it to the president for approval”, according to the whistleblowers’ account.

The report notes a complex financial connection between Kushner and the plan to build nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia. Brookfield Asset Management, the company that eased a financial crunch for Kushner’s family by taking over a troubled Manhattan property, has acquired Westinghouse Electric, the bankrupt nuclear services company that is one of the firms participating in the Saudi nuclear deal.

Trump met with nuclear power developers at the White House just last week to discuss sharing nuclear technology with Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia.

 

“Many of Trump's GOP allies have clamored for the DOJ to release its Mar-a-Lago search warrant and supporting documentation.

On Thursday, the DOJ moved to do just that, asking a court to unseal portions of the warrant.

Legal experts and political strategists say Trump's backers bit off more than they could chew and the DOJ called their bluff. “



Republicans may have shot themselves in the foot by hammering the DOJ to release the Mar-a-Lago search warrant

 

To get a search warrant ready, which undoubtedly took time and great care. It was the most consequential search warrant application in U.S. history. In the meantime, the FBI had the compound under surveillance.

 

But what stopped them from exciting in the warrant in Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday? There doesn’t seem to be the urgency to act if we’re dealing with nuclear codes, or schematics, or the like.

 

This the poster we all love and admire. Never misses a chance to make a fool of himself.

 

Don't know. Maybe to first get the plant in place? (Some here will believe that.)

 

And yet you left me a thumbs down LOL. All good. I am just trying to make sense of the entire thing. Regardless… if this gets unsealed Trump has a lot to spin. My hope is he didn’t take anything of value to hurt our country.
