MIKE DAVIS: FBI knew Mar-a-Lago raid was illegal, but Biden DOJ made them do it
Fox News
President Trump Mar-a-Lago FBI raid lacked probable cause according to Senate documents. FBI agents allegedly did not believe sufficient grounds existed for the search.
Michael R. Davis is the founder and president of the Article III Project.
When the raid of Mar-a-Lago became public, lawfare opponents were horrified, for we had crossed the Rubicon. FBI agents rummaged through Trump’s personal effects and took his passport. They staged photos of folders supposedly containing classified information haphazardly strewn about and the Justice Department under then-President Biden released them to the media to cast Trump in a negative light.
The material in question consisted of records that Trump was allowed to maintain under the Presidential Records Act. A battle started between Trump and the National Archives, which wanted some of the documents. Biden’s White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su waived executive privilege, allowing the Biden Justice Department to begin an investigation. The Justice Department obtained a warrant to search for and seize the records, and Trump was indicted for allegedly unlawful retention of classified materials the following year.
