It's the usual turn over your political opponents home ,find "paper work" next it's a rigged court, followed by years in a gulag or a shot of polonium in the leg, who's in the Whitehouse sleepy Joe or joseph Stalin.

I doubt they're allowed to disclose this as it could prejudice a trial.

Trump had the choice to disclose the search warrant but decided not to.

We don't know yet obviously, we just know they searched a safe and left with boxes of documents.

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

I predict they’ll find nothing of consequence, but try to blow up something very minor into Watergate proportions.

Justice Dept. seeks to unseal motion for search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday that the Justice Department has filed a motion for a judge to unseal the court-authorized warrant that led FBI agents to search the Florida residence of former President Donald Trump.

Garland said he personally authorized the request for a search warrant and decided to file the motion to unseal since Trump had confirmed to the public that the FBI raided his property.

Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

Didn’t I say, U.S Attorney General, Garland authorised this search days ago?

Biden can no longer deny he didn’t know about it, thing is he was probably told but he’s that dozy, he did not remember.

The fact this has now been confirmed that it was, this could be problematic for the Biden Administration, that Biden has potentially weaponised the Justice Dept against a political opponent. It’s equivalent to Boris Johnson ordering the Home Office, who will then order the met police to raid the home of Keir Starmer.

Everyone knew they did? It was reported. What people were saying was that it was the FBI who requested the search and that FBI director, and another Judge who approved it, were Trump appointees.

No, it isn't.

It's the equivalent to the British Attorney General approving a request from the head of the Met Police to raid the home of Keir Starmer and having that request also approved by a High Court Judge.

Biden didn't order the FBI to conduct the search. The FBI wanted the search. Biden didn't approve the search. The U.S Attorney General did.

I suspect Biden's extremely disappointed by the timing. He's just had some very significant legislative successes which are in danger of being overshadowed by the raid:
- He will shortly sign America’s first serious attempt to tackle global warming. His predecessors tried it and failed.
- He will also sign the “Chips plus” act, America’s first industrial policy since Reagan’s response to the rise of Japan in the 1980s. The bill puts tens of billions of dollars into public science research — the kind of money that in the 1950s resulted eventually in the Internet
- His climate and tax bill also for the first time gives the federal government the power to negotiate lower drugs prices.

Yes and he’s a Democratic Attorney General, that matters.

However, you do know what “potentially” means don’t you?

If Garland cannot justify authorising this search, then yes it’s to Trump’s political gain and Biden’s loss, not that it matters because Biden is tanking in the polls anyway, he is the worst president in history.

But it's a massive leap because all this is known. We know the FBI requested it and we know another judge verified it. Where is the proof Biden ordered it? He can't actually do that which means there would also have to be a conspiracy involving a Trump-appointed judge and FBI Director.

What if Trump did have classified files anyway, then all this speculation on who ordered it is pointless.
