Read It: Mar-a-Lago Affidavit Released With Redactions

After days of waiting and a flurry of motions from the Department of Justice attempting to keep the affidavit used in the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago sealed indefinitely, a redacted affidavit was finally released on Friday afternoon just before the 12:00 p.m. ET deadline set by federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart. There was such a rush to view the affidavit, however, that the government's website where federal court records are posted completely crashed for nearly 30 minutes.

Once the site recovered, the affidavit was revealed to be a 38-page document that is heavily redacted — despite Judge Reinhart saying that the FBI's redactions are "narrowly tailored" — leaving even more questions still unanswered. In all, 20+ pages are entirely or significantly redacted.

What remains un-redacted is a narrative of what most already knew: the government is conducting a criminal investigation concerning the improper removal and storage of classified information in unauthorized spaces, as well as the unlawful concealment or removal of government records that began after the National Archives and Records Administration referred the matter to the Justice Department on February 9, 2022.

The affidavit also mentions a CBS Miami news article about moving trucks being "Spotted at Mar-a-Lago," a statement by Trump about the Archives' requests for documents, and significant chunks of text and presumably images that the government's case is based on entirely blacked-out.

In a memorandum that was also unsealed Friday, the government's case for its redactions to the affidavit is *also* heavily redacted. The government cited witness information, a road map for its investigation into Trump, potential disclosure of a matter before a grand jury, law enforcement safety, and broad "privacy interests" as its basis for redacting the affidavit. "In short, the government has well-founded concerns that steps may be taken to frustrate or otherwise interfere with this investigation if facts in the affidavit were prematurely disclosed," the memo explains

All they are doing is creating smoke where there is no fire. If they had fire, they would have charged trump already. This shit show will run through the 2024 election cycle.

The fbi needs to be put down like old dogs. That would be the beginning.

The questions remain:

- They knew in January 2021 when Trump left the White House that he was taking the boxes. Why didn't they seize them then?

- They visited Mar-a-Lago in June and looked in all the boxes. Why didn't they seize them then? (Instead they told Trump to keep them and to make sure the room where he was storing them stayed locked.)

- Why did they raid Trump’s home in the early hours of the morning with several cameras at the ready and filming, knowing full well that Trump was not there?

-Why did they wait 18 months to seize dicuments they claim were a threat to our national security?

- Why did they ask the staff to turn off the inside security cameras?

- Why did they tell Trump's lawyers to wait outside while they took NINE hours to search his home?

The GOP might be just as dangerous for the simple fact that given all that this admin has done, they are edging towards defeat in November. If a party like the GOP can't defeat the leftist dem's given all they have and are doing, then they get what they deserve.

I will repeat myself from a previous post:
After President Trump is sworn in as President for the second time in the 2024 election........the next thing he should do is to fire the 1000 highest ranking employees of the FBI and the DOJ

Trump declassified everything! This is the beginning of the end of our corrupt government. And corrupt institutions around the world. They should have never gone after our children. Which are God's gifts to humans. He said to be fruitful and multiply. And He doesn't lie. He has caught them all. The CIA, FBI, SES, DARPA, UN, WEF, etc. All of it. Buckle up and enjoy the show. The movie is to be released later but before the end of the year. We have now officially entered the storm. What I and millions of others have been waiting years for. Our world is about to change. And the noose around pedophilia, human trafficking, and corruption is closing. I am very excited, now we're just dealing with the foot soldiers. Or as I like t call them, the crash test dummies. That's the real reason Mar Lago was raided, to find out what Trump had. Since he declassified everything, nothing is hidden anymore. Now it can all come out. I highly recommend getting on Truth Social if you can. That's where a lot of things will be released first. And I love knowing things first, if at all possible. The good leaks have begun. The redacted leaks are going away. Almost time to celebrate. This will be the best Christmas in our lifetime.

The answer is real easy
The length of time is because they needed to assemble the scum of the FBI for the RAID
They wanted to do what they were doing in private because they don’t like prying eyes. They can’t stand up to that.
How many of the clothes were top secret or were the FBI boys just perverts?
Early morning hours is the time of day that snakes and vermin likes the most.
The Democrats have the best political “fixers” that tax money can buy. That’s why they let the boxes go to Florida. If like President Trump said if he declares he’s NOT running all this stuff would stop. The Democrat pukes would have a party like never seen before of course on the tax payers dime.
I would like to know who packed those boxes?
There is so much BS going on that the Biden Assh@les are tearing this country apart and the country has become the laughing stock of the world. We have the WORST President ever his son is a crackhead crook and shares all off his ill gotten monies with daddy. The same daddy that showered with his daughter when she was little and can’t keep his hands off little girls now.

> Trump declassified everything<

Maybe he could and if he did that does not make them any less valuable to a foreign enemy.

Millions of dollars in research and development go into such projects, your tax dollars and you make excuses for a man who had no legitimate reason for taking them.

What kind of patriot supports such a breach of nation security?

A Trump loyalist.

On you as trump supporters, yes it's a joke alright
