The desperation of the Deep State Democrats

 Ron Wright:

The raid on Mar-A-Lago was a pretextual search using the National Archive rules and mischaracterize classified document laws to justify an unlawful search warrant.

This raid is only a part of an ongoing criminal conspiracy (RICO) or silent coup by the Deep State to take down Trump, first before his election in 2016, to prevent his reelection in 2020, and now to torpedo his possible re-election in 2024.  Trump is a direct threat to the coup's survival.  The Deep State is protected by the DOJ and FBI that have gone full Stasi.

I have written and served hundreds of search warrants in my career as a police detective.  I investigated complex criminal conspiracies -- crimes of many types, including thefts and frauds, financial crimes, and political conflicts of interest.

I am biased in favor of law enforcement.  Nevertheless, the DOJ and the FBI have been politically weaponized.  We have no equal justice for all. We now have a two-tier justice system.

The American colonists were fed up with general search warrants issued by the King that led to the adoption of the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The Raid on Mar-a-Largo was no ordinary search warrant.  Instead, the raid was to intimidate anyone who would dare stand in opposition to the Deep State, to disqualify Trump in 2024, and to recover incriminating evidence against the coup.

Because of its pattern and practice of lying in search warrant affidavits and demonstrated political bias without accountability, the FBI is no longer credible.  The FBI lied in the FISA search warrant affidavits to spy on President Trump by knowingly using the Russian Collusion narrative that was false. The FBI knowingly violates the civil rights of citizens under the guise of criminal investigations, ruining them financially -- the January 6 defendants, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, reporter Sheryl Attkisson, and others. 

Judges rely on sworn officers' integrity to tell the truth in seeking warrants.  Violating this trust is sacrosanct.  When officers lie to the judge, the warrant can be quashed, and the evidence seized ruled inadmissible.  If I had done that, my ass would have been thrown out the door. 

The prissy attitude of FBI Director Christopher Wray in the recent Senate oversight hearing tells all.   Wray ducked out early, claiming he had to catch a plane to avoid a second round of questions – to travel to his vacation spot on a government plane at his disposal.  There are severe issues with the FBI running amok both before and under Wray's watch, i.e., the Gov. Whitmer kidnapping entrapment case.  Who the hell does Wray think he works for – not the American people?

The Mira-a-Lago search warrant is overly broad regarding the items to be searched for, i.e., Presidential Records during his term of office.  Media reports say that FBI agents searched areas not described on the warrant, i.e., the safe and other areas of the property.  Typically, the safe would be described on the search warrant as an item to be searched.  If there were no prior knowledge of the safe, an additional warrant would be sought.  Otherwise, this would be an unlawful search and seizure.

The FBI and DOJ are admitting some items were seized outside the warrant's scope -- the passports and privileged records.  The FBI should have sought a special master. The FBI uses taint teams, but I lack confidence in their ability to serve as an impartial arbitrator for the court.

The crimes alleged are debatable whether there was probable cause that Trump committed any of them.  The Presidential Records Act has no criminal penalty.  Some argue its enforcement is by civil action that could involve obstruction of justice (18 USC 1519) regarding “conceals, removes, mutilates [records]” and (18 USC 2071.

...

There is more.

This looks like a bad faith operation for political purposes.  I get the impression that the political opposition to Trump is so desperate they will make up reasons to thwart his candidacies such as the Russian collusion hoax and this latest attempt to criminalize his conduct.
