News Trump: Mar-a-Lago just raided by FBI

Seems Trump (or someone in his circle) leaked his copy of the warrant to Breitbart:

Yes, so that Breitbart could spin it for them prior to the release of the actual warrant. Breitbart hasn't published the warrant itself. Instead, they have selected bits and pieces of it to discuss. Their main talking point right now is that the FBI "waited 3 days" to execute the warrant. They haven't explained why that is suspicious, but they hope their readers will assume it is. Then there's this kind of hilarity:

UPDATE 2:21 p.m. ET:
Another interesting fact from the warrant is that Judge Reinhart gave the Justice Department and FBI a lot of time to execute it. While the DOJ and FBI took their time–waiting three days to do it–technically the document says that Reinhart authorized the feds to wait even longer all the way until next Friday on Aug. 19 to execute it. While we still do not have the underlying affidavits that represent what the FBI and DOJ took to the judge to seek and gain his approval for the warrant, that seems to indicate that the judge did not think this is so serious that immediate or urgent action was needed to be taken as he gave the authorities two full weeks–or 14 full days–in which to execute the warrant.

Yah sure it does, dipshits. Couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that FBI likely told the court that they wanted to time the raid for when Trump wasn't going to be there, and they didn't yet know exactly which day would be appropriate. LMAO
 
Lets take a subject like good and evil. Good sees evil as evil and evil sees good as good. Why? It is because both sides believe evil exists. So for the mind that has not seen the paradox of good and evil, the fact that neither exists, there will be nothing but the view that all arguments for or against anything really amount to both sides. In your mind both sides are all that exist and because that is the trap you live in you project that on to me. This is, naturally, how it is if you were able to really see that good and evil do not exist. But that still means there are two sides, the type that point their fingers at others believing the other is evil and the few who have realized that good and evil are a product sometimes referred to as the Delusion of Maya. The thing about pseudo-philosophical bullshit is that people have been waking up for thousands of years.

When you mature a bit and can handle challenge to your world view, facing the fact (potentially, of course) that you are an ignorant putz, you may, as an additional benefit, learn to read better. I did not defend pcgeek's position that the FBI search was over the top. I simply suggested there are valid reasons why conservatives are as suspicious as they are and I pointed to the childish intolerance of people like you as part of the reason for that. What you are, in my opinion, is an authoritarian entitled bully, left leaning rather than right leaning like your fellow Trump supporters, who can't help but lash out at anything that threatens their and your egotistical opinion. Suck it in, manchild.
Doesn't evil see evil as good and good as evil?
 
I hear they will try Trump declassified and he shouldn't have to go through the procedures of unelected bureaucrats. It's the same shit they tried with Trump authorized extra capital police for Jan 6 yet no one can find that official request. Just take our word for it.

The excuses are flying and so far none of them really stick. Think people are seeing the mass right wing cover up?

Oh, and the next time someone mentions Hunter just say, irrelevant. Hunter has NOTHING to do with this case.
 
Is this confirmed? I went to (ugh) Breitbart to try to confirm, but have only found an article doing an analysis of the warrant. Didn't find any names yet nor see an actual copy on their site.

From their website:
The inventory list of what was seized—or the receipt part of the document—is three pages long and constitutes two separate receipts, one that is two pages long and another that is one page long. Both receipts were signed by Trump’s attorney Christina Bobb and dated on Monday Aug. 8, 2022, at 6:19 p.m. The longer receipt was signed by FBI Special Agent redacted and the shorter receipt was signed by the name: “redacted” and includes the title SSA. It is unclear who that person is, and the handwriting is not the clearest.

Note: I redacted the names.

As they've been describing the legal authorized search as a raid, I think it's funny that now it seemed too slow.

"(i) execute the warrant within a specified time no longer than 14 days; "

Federal law specifies the 14 days. I don't know how common it is that a judge would specify a shorter time frame than that.

‘He secretly declassified them and didn’t tell anyone’ is not going to work.

Breitbart does not give a single, solitary shit about that. If they has executed it immediately they would have complained that the FBI was so excited to go after Trump it had to do so late on a Friday evening. Alternatively they would have said doing it on Friday was an attempt to hide it.
 
Please rest assured I give zero fucks what you think, and I'd just as soon you put me on ignore so you won't be tempted to reply to my posts.
Please rest assured that anybody who doesn't give two fucks about anything does not have an inferiority complex that demands they reply with some phony lie about how manly indifferent they are. The facts are that from what you are really feeling I've got you nuts in my hand with a very strong grip. Now that's what manly should look like.

Know also that I care what you think and am always ready to hear it. Thanks for this point of view but, sorry, I don't ignore anybody. To do so would mean that something about them is too threatening for my ego to take. Of course, you are always free to ignore me. Meanwhile, any time you actually want to logically and rationally deal with the opinions I present, rather than reacting with phony bravado, you are free to do so. Of course, if you have nothing feel free to continue to rave.

Interestingly enough, the Espionage Act, which is one of the acts cited by the warrant, is not limited to the disclosure of classified documents. It applies to both classified or not classified documents. So whether or not Trump de-classified them would not technically matter.

Well the presidential records act already covered that. But bumps it from 5 years to 20 with espionage
 
I'm loving how every time Trump comes with a lie or excuse if someone knows the truth they chime in online, like the National Archives people.

You are of course right on Breitbart's part. Actually looking at the warrant now. The actually form says "(not to exceed 14 days)" written directly on it. So they can't even claim ignorance on this one.

So the warrant was just quoting the law essentially verbatim.

I remember a Twitter thread from a guy who used to work for right wing media that I thought was illuminating. Basically he said people in right wing media are under no illusions as to what they are doing, they just think it is justified because the rest of the media does it too but for liberals. The idea that the media makes a good faith attempt to play it straight is not allowed to be considered.
