The Last Chance Of Freedom : FBI did not disclose Trump’s Jan. 19, 2021 declassification order of Russiagate documents to the federal magistrate judge in warrant affidavit

Tuesday, August 30, 2022

This raises questions about whether the FBI fully disclosed all information relevant to the search warrant to the federal magistrate judge, Bruce Reinhart
If Trump had declassified these materials before ever he left office that almost certainly would have leaned against issuing the warrant
Redactions were never returned to the White House by the FBI by the time Trump left office, nor have they been published since then

Grassley and Johnson have been trying to obtain these documents for more than a year
In a Feb. 15, 2022 letter and an Oct. 21, 2021 letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, they demanded to know why they have not been disclosed
Not a single page has been published by the Justice Department

One of the cases cited by Trump's attorney is Department of Navy v. Egan, wherein the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed the President's of classification of sensitive national security documents derive from his Article II constitutional vesting of executive powers, not from any Congressional statute.

Former President Trump appears to be planning to run for President again in 2024, and yet, he could be about to be imprisoned for what appears to have been a lawful exercise of presidential powers while still in office

There needs to be some accounting for why the Jan. 19, 2021 memorandum - perhaps the best evidence that Trump was declassifying troves of documents before he left office and that the Justice Department was not cooperating with those orders - was apparently not disclosed to Judge Reinhart in the affidavit, or if it was, why Reinhart is letting the FBI hide it from the American people.
Either, the FBI hid Trump’s declassification order from Reinhart, or Reinhart let the FBI redact information about it when it's public information.
