Ex-President Donald Trump said shortly after midnight on Friday that he welcomes the Justice Department’s move to release the search warrant the FBI used in its raid on his Mar-a-Lago resort earlier this week.
Reporting on this blather should focus on the fact Trump’s lying ( as he always does ). He does NOT want those document out but must feed his base lies and put on a tough guy act. The documents will out sooner or later and when that happens Trump will condemn the leak.
Some day I’ll open up TPM and not see 5 images of Trump on the front page.
Like @dicktater said last night, he just wants to look like he’s in control after a Very Bad No Good Day in which Garland very publicly proved who’s got the power now.
The Magistrate is very likely going to unseal the warrant and receipt regardless of whether Donnie opposes it or not.
“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing,” the DOJ wrote in the filing.
OT. I never imagined that a law enforcement officer in America would turn traitor, violently invade the Capitol and participate in a coup aimed at hanging the Vice President. Thomas Robertson and Jacob Fracker were members of the police department in Virginia.
Why doesn’t Trump release the copy of the warrant and the inventory list of seized items himself? Because he is counting on his numbskull supporters to not know that he can release the documents himself. That way he can lie that the Biden administration is doing something bad and these numbskulls will believe him.
