The Department of Justice submitted a redacted affidavit Thursday to a judge in Florida detailing the process behind the FBI’s raid at Donald Trump’s private residence in Palm Beach.
“The court docket notes a filing by the Department of Justice under seal. The department faced a noon E.T. deadline set by the judge. The Justice Department has previously warned that releasing detailed information in the affidavit would jeopardize its ongoing investigation into documents stored on former President Donald Trump’s private property, and possibly endanger witnesses interviewed by the government,” reports Fox News.
Donald Trump reacted to the filing on his ‘Truth’ Social network platform.
“The Justice Department and FBI are “leaking” at levels never seen before – and I did nothing wrong!!! The Radical Left Democrat prosecutors are illegally trying to circumvent, for purely political gain, the Presidential Record’s Act, under which I have done absolutely nothing wrong. It can not be circumvented, for me or any other President. They illegally Raided my home, and took things that should not have been taken. They even broke into my safe, an unthinkable act!” explained the former President.
“…I did nothing wrong!!!” – Trump
He was served a subpoena earlier this year for additional documents he was keeping at maralago. He did not comply. Instead, he refused and kept the documents. The “raid” was not outside of standard operations, and would be done with any citizen who did not comply with such a subpoena. Just because he is the former president does not make him special and certainly does not make him above the law.
Republicans are the law-and-order party, right? They criticize when citizens do not follow police orders, and say, “Just comply.” Why didn’t trump JUST COMPLY?
Because he’s an Ass, in Many ways. BUT, he “gets” just WHAT the New World Order is UP to, AND just how Complicit in the Sell Out the Dems and Libs are. He is SO MUCH SMARTER than ANY Dem or Lib ever hoped or Dreamed of being.
ENJOY your good ol’ US of A going right in the Venezuela-like shithole.
The clueless masses Eventually DO, GET just What they deserve.
Wow, the republican propaganda machine got you hook, line and sinker. You think trump is a smart man? Why? Because he is rich? HA! That means nothing, especially after he inherited near half a billion dollars from his father. Smart people don’t stare directly at a solar eclipse… or look directly at the sun at all! Smart presidents don’t salute north korean generals. Smart people know Frederick Douglass died in 1895. Smart people know that the human body isn’t “like a battery… with a finite amount of energy.” “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.” Hilarious! He touted a test designed to detect signs of dementia as proof of his genius LOL. I’m still not convinced he wasn’t just naming the things in his direct line of sight. I could go on, but you get the point. The guy is funny, no doubt… but smart? Nah. There’s a reason he once said, “I love the poorly educated.” Because of people like you!
Venezuela has issues, but not for the reasons you think. I know the fox bobbleheads scream COMMUNISM and use venezuela as an example, but please look into it a little deeper.

So, “Because he’s an Ass, in Many ways”, does that give him the right to break the law and ignore a federal subpoena? Does he get a free pass? Would you get a free pass?!? Hell no! And neither would I. This is the problem with american politics, especially on the right. Republicans worship their figureheads. There is a religious zeal to their fanaticism. Obama was the closest dems came to this kind of behavior, but it’s not nearly as intense as with republicans. It’s weird, man!
Hold all lawbreakers accountable. I don’t care what their position is within society. The laws he is accused of possibly breaking have been on the books for a long time… espionage act (1917), concealment, removal, or mutilation of protected documents (1940), wire fraud, obstruction of official proceedings, witness tampering, conspiracy to defraud the government. These aren’t new laws. And ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it. If he’s so smart, then he knew exactly what he was doing… right?
