Damning Info in Trump Affidavit That Raises Even More Questions About FBI/DOJ Action

Questions About the Mar-a-Lago Raid

  • There are a few oddities in the affidavit
  • When referring to what was found in the 15 boxes, they refer to documents with "classification markings."
  • The affidavit says the documents "appear" to contain National Defense Information, but Sperry asks if they "triaged" the boxes, wouldn't they know if it did or not?
  • A line in there about "probable cause to believe evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises." But there's no heading about that "obstruction" or anything in the unredacted parts that justify this random sentence.
  • In the affidavit, there's a letter dated June 8 mentioned, from the DOJ to Trump's counsel, telling the Trump team that they have to keep the documents in the storage room until further notice.

The Presidential Records Act doesn't provide for any criminal penalty-yet this seems to have been the premise under which the DOJ started this effort against Trump

  • Fortunately, it sounds like the judge may be going along with appointing a special master in the case.
  • As the Trump legal team also explained, the affidavit raises "more questions than answers" not explaining the justification for the raid.
