I’ve gone through the redacted affidavit a couple of times now. Including Attachments. I’m not impressed. There are so many concerning issues it is hard to know where to start. I’ll try.

SEE IT: DOJ's Redacted Affidavit for FBI's Trump Raid - Todd Starnes
https://t.co/lyxPhZ6TnJ

2-It has no factual evidence attributable to the mens rea requirement —which is the burden the Gov’t must meet showing criminal intent of the target. If it’s in there it is redacted.

3-The affidavit is filled with conclusory statements “there is probable cause” is stated authoritatively but without any reference to whom the PC applies nor to sufficient facts supporting such PC

It is surprising that Reinhart signed this given that the overwhelming tenor of the unredacted facts are a civil dispute over which documents can or cannot be retained versus sent to NARA. Criminal Intent appears nowhere in the affidavit.

4–(My Favorite part) The focus of the facts is less on if FPOTUS may or may not be able to possess but whether docs are in a secure, designated room. No mention that the whole place is secured by the Secret Service.

5-There does not appear to be PC to search the safe. The safe is also not listed on places to search nor described in the factual justifications.

6-There is no set of facts revealed to show that the target transported, removed, destroyed, altered or instructed others to do so Re: classified docs.

7-The affidavit instructs the judge of the applicable law but withholds any mention of court decisions re a POTUS’ unfettered ability to declassify and fails to inform the Court that a FPOTUS may fall outside the criminal statute.

8–Shockingly, it admits that the FBI searched through boxes of documents that NARA had recovered, and did so pursuant to their “criminal investigation” but did not use a Taint Team to ensure they were not reviewing privileged documents.

9-The brief reference to the article citing Kash Patel’s statements that documents were declassified should have given the judge pause that this is not a criminal case and that requisite Mens Rea would be impossible to establish against the target.

In tandem with this effort, Five former CIA Directors lied to the nation - also claiming Hunter's laptop was Russian Disinformation.

That you're seemingly okay with this goes a long way to shining a bright light on the sad state of our military leadership.

A Political Bootlicker & Coward:

The FBI & DOJ together are nothing short of an American version of the Soviet KGB.
#AmericanKGB

This doesn’t sound like #maga but it DOES sound EXACTLY LIKE the #illegitimate lawless criminal Biden administration.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/fascism-meaning-and-history

FBI & DOJ abuse of power targeting political enemies.
Ruling by Fiat & Dictat.
Lawlessness.
Autocratic government.
Dictatorial rule.

Student load debacle.
Climate bs.
Attack on gun rights.
Attacks on free speech.
Using corporations to attack Americans civil liberties & livlihoods.
January 6th political prisoners.
Stolen election.

Yeah the #illegitimate Biden administration sounds EXACTLY like Fascism.

This is what real fascism looks like.

He doesn’t give a shit. 13 families still grieving their loved ones who’s lives were thrown away by Joe Biden, but he cant be troubled to even pick up the phone & put a call in. This is what Democrats are.

Not looking very good for the FBI…

Does it always come back to Russiagate?

A lot of people seem to think so.

Strozok isn't the only one saying this crazy thing.
Weissmann and others.

It is like they are literally threatening Kash

Why Ratcliffe is shocked by what the FBI did is beyond me. He knew what they did in 2016. He knew those Intel people on the panel in 2019 6 weeks b4 the Horowitz report came out were LYING.
