    DOJ has 'no case' against Trump, says former FBI assistant director (wnd.com)

    A former assistant director for the FBI has concluded that the Department of Justice and FBI have "no case" against President Donald Trump.

    And Kevin R. Brock, formerly the assistant director of intelligence for the FBI and principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote in an opinion piece that that conclusion is drawn from the federal government's own documents, including the affidavit in support of a search warrant for Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.

    He continued, "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. After the magistrate who authorized the search forced the DOJ to unseal a redacted version, two realities came into better focus."
    He said, "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."

    Further, he said, it shows a "document dispute" was "chugging along" and the government's claim does not assert "a refusal by Trump to cooperate."

    You mean the guy who previously went after Comey, Mueller, Mueller’s report, Rsoenstein among others, is siding with Trump over the DOJ and FBI?
    That’s odd.

    Never heard of WND. Looks like another whack job media outlet. Waiting for one of the legal experts to weigh in, unless of course they’ve all put you on ignore.

    Oh, well if a right wing hack on world nut daily says so. Keep in mind this is the website most famous back in the day for asserting that the Hadron Super Collider was going to destroy the world.

    Might as well just definitively quote Don, Jr. posting on ilovenosecandy.com.

    Just one question. Did the guy actually the full unredacted version of the affidavit in support of the warrant? Otherwise his column is nothing more than biased speculation and his credentials do not change that fact.

    Concern for US national security…..

    “The revelation that former President Trump had some of the nation’s most closely guarded forms of intelligence at his Florida home is renewing questions over the potentially grave risks to U.S. national security.

    Among an initial batch of 184 classified documents retrieved from Mar-a-Lago in January were secrets gained from “clandestine human sources,” information prohibited from being shared with foreign governments and information obtained by monitoring “foreign communications signals.”

    Is WND the same online pub as World Net Daily (see below), where (according to their mast head) facts don’t matter?
