So your thrust is the FBI Director is acting on knowingly false information - a Director, Trump installed?
Well, I guess none of want careers with the FBI much longer.

The logic is kinda of befuddling if you believe this, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility. Just a very remote possibility.

Let's make sure we all understand each other.  You are totally good with the FBI and DOJ being able to conduct raids on former Presidents and opposition leaders at the direction of those currently in power?

Quoted:
Braking:

FBI 'recovered 11 sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago' and waited three days to raid after warrant was signed: Files included 'top secret' papers, handwritten notes and 'information about the President of France'  


The warrant is believed to have given FBI agents permission to search in Trump's office and all storage areas on the premises, and states four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents, and three sets of confidential documents were retrieved.

Trump's attorneys now also claim former President Trump declassified the documents before he left office. A president has the power to declassify any document, but there is a strict federal procedure for doing so.

In breaching the former president's residency Monday, the FBI was looking for Top Secret and 'compartmented' documents dealing with intelligence 'sources and methods,' government sources told Newsweek on Friday.

'Compartmented' documents would pertain to 'classified information concerning or derived from intelligence sources, methods, or analytical processes, which is required to be handled within formal access control systems established by the Director of National Intelligence.'

Only a very small circle of people would be allowed to know what was on such documents, which could mean that a warrant or a receipt would not reveal much information about what was taken.

This all seems pretty simple to me:

1. At the conclusion of the final term as POTUS, a POTUS is to surrender all work product, official communique, and documentation - particularly anything SC or TSC-SCI or even sensitive to Archives.

2. Basically a "don't take homework home with you" regulation.

3. Apparently Trump elected not to follow this regulation.

4. A substantially validated lead - not a tip, but a lead, was presented to the FBI. It had to be more than "a tip."
It takes near certainty to get a warrant on a Government official, much less a previous President - especially with the political considerations. The FBI Director pretty much bet their job on this one (BTW - the FBI Director was appointed by Trump).

5. A duly sworn out warrant was written up, signed, and executed - not different that the thousands of others done weekly for private citizens.

6. A high-level FBI team was sent to Florida to serve a warrant.

7. The warrant was lawfully served.

8. As of today, over 20 boxes of documents have been removed from Trump's residence.

9. Unless related to the warrant or other discovery evidence, it cannot be removed.

10. At any point Trump is free to publish and release the contents of the warrant and what search items were covered, which of course would demystify the invalidation he is attempting to groom, but had declined to do so - also knowing the FBI and DOJ cannot freely publish the warrant without the approval of the courts.


Conclusion: As a private citizen, don't take home Federal documents you are not entitled to and the FBI won't send the door kickers to your residence.

[color=#ff0000]"During her tenure as United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton drew controversy by using a private email server for official public communications rather than using official State Department email accounts maintained on federal servers. Clinton's server was found to hold over 100 emails containing classified information, including 65 emails deemed "Secret" and 22 deemed "Top Secret". An additional 2,093 emails not marked classified were retroactively designated confidential by the State Department.[1][2][3]"
[/color]


It took 4 years to get access to clinton servers a and she delivered the emails, no one raided her premises to find anything else.


As early as 2009, officials with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) expressed concerns over possible violations of normal federal government record-keeping procedures at the State Department under then-Secretary Clinton.[34]

In December 2012, near the end of Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, a nonprofit group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a FOIA request seeking records about her email. CREW received a response in May 2013: "no records responsive to your request were located."[16] Emails sent to Clinton's private clintonemail.com address were first discovered in March 2013, when a hacker named "Guccifer" widely distributed emails sent to Clinton from Sidney Blumenthal, which Guccifer obtained by illegally accessing Blumenthal's email account.[35][36][37] The emails dealt with the 2012 Benghazi attack and other issues in Libya and revealed the existence of her clintonemail.com address.[35][36][37]

Blumenthal did not have a security clearance when he received material from Clinton that has since been characterized as classified by the State Department.[38][39]

In the summer of 2014, lawyers from the State Department noticed a number of emails from Clinton's personal account, while reviewing documents requested by the House Select Committee on Benghazi. A request by the State Department for additional emails led to negotiations with her lawyers and advisors. In October, the State Department sent letters to Clinton and all previous Secretaries of State back to Madeleine Albright requesting emails and documents related to their work while in office. On December 5, 2014, Clinton lawyers delivered 12 file boxes filled with printed paper containing more than 30,000 emails. Clinton withheld almost 32,000 emails deemed to be of a personal nature.[16] Datto, Inc., which provided data backup service for Clinton's email, agreed to give the FBI the hardware that stored the backups.[40]

As of May 2016, no answer had been provided to the public as to whether 31,000 emails deleted by Hillary Clinton as personal have been or could be recovered.[41]

A March 2, 2015 New York Times article broke the story that the Benghazi panel had discovered that Clinton exclusively used her own private email server rather than a government-issued one throughout her time as Secretary of State, and that her aides took no action to preserve emails sent or received from her personal accounts as required by law.[42][43][44] At that point, Clinton announced that she had asked the State Department to release her emails.[45] Some in the media labeled the controversy "emailgate."[46][47][48]

My line of thought in the end comes down to this, given the past proven instances of malfeasance in prior investigations regarding him and others, how does the DOJ attempt to overcome the lack of trust in their organization so that the millions of people that no longer trust them to have any morals or integrity that they truly are on the righteous path?

They’ve lost their credibility with so many people and to push things in this situation down the path that they appear to be heading is an endeavor that so far they appear to be completely tone deaf to the fact that there are millions of people that not only don’t trust them anymore but openly support the destruction of the institution because of their past corruption. To extrapolate further, as we’ve seen yesterday, if there are enough people that feel strongly enough that it should be destroyed that there will be a smaller number that decides that the time to destroy it is now and will take action. They have a huge burden of proof that if not met will only throw fuel to the smoldering fire and will lead to more instances pole we saw in OH except perhaps the next person might be not only motivated but competent.

Here's an exact transcript of the thought processes that went into this lie:

"Hmmm... how do we justify this new warrant on the president... we have to make it sound good... it has to sound really important. It can't be something lame about the fucking National Archives, those bunch of pansies and bookworms.

"Last time we said it was because he was a Russian Agent. Can we say it's about him being a Russian Agent again? No, people won't believe that. The Russian Agent story kind of blew up in our faces. There's only so many times you can go to the Russian Agent well...

"We kind of need it to be bigger than the Russian Agent story. What's bigger than the President being a Russian Agent...?

"Hmm, we might have made a pretty pickle for ourselves with starting right off with the Russian Agent cover story. That's a hard one to top!

"Oh wait, I know what's bigger than the President being a Russian Agent -- what if he's a concealing NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!

"No wait, that's stupid -- how could Trump smuggle a nuke out of the White House? And where would he even get one? Unless we can figure out a way to claim he disassembled a nuke and smuggled it out in old Big Mac cartons, this isn't going to work at all...

"But... but we could say he has a document about a nuclear weapon, right...?!

"Right? Right! I mean, shit, US government documents contain a reference to nuclear weapons like every twenty or thirty pages! It's bound to be true, just based on the law of averages! If he's got more than 100 pages of documents, there are probably a solid three or four mentions of nuclear weapons in there!

"So that's it -- we'll say that the president, FORMERLY SUSPECTED OF BEING A RUSSIAN AGENT, IS NOW SUSPECTED OF CONCEALING SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!"
