You use a search warrant, and not a subpoena, when you don’t believe that the person is actually going to comply. Its now quite a few months since so yes I guess so Edited August 11, 2022 by Bkk Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months before his Florida home was raided by the FBI, former President Donald Trump secretly received a grand jury subpoena for classified documents belonging to the National Archives, and voluntarily cooperated by turning over responsive evidence, surrendering security surveillance footage and allowing federal agents and a senior Justice Department lawyer to tour his private storage locker, according to a half dozen people familiar with the incident.

Yes. One of the requirements for the search warrant is evidence that the information will be there during the two-week period that the F.B.I. is authorized to do a search—the information is not “stale.” And that’s the term of art that people talk about. Is the information being presented by the F.B.I. to the court stale? What you are looking for is some evidence of recency. https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/what-the-fbis-raid-of-mar-a-lago-could-mean-for-trump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump wanted to run out the clock before the elections. It's been a trump and co tactic for years with frivlous legal maneuvering. Also trump using these matters to appeal for more donations from the gullible (perhaps more accurate to say useful idiots). It's quite feasible the search warrant was one of the final acts before charges are laid. We know trump is well practiced with inflaming his base thereby creating a great deal of chaos. Just maybe enough is enough with trump's transparent efforts to destablise US society and institutions for DoJ to now act. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that they did to be honest but I want to see who published it. I can see that as being standard operating procedure for the FBI. Everybody knows the reason Trump claimed it was to create the basis for a new lie and to fire up the base. An honest man would have shut up except to his lawyer. The FBI know this was a high profile raid, you'd have to be in a state of delusion, brought about by a belief that Biden isn't the legitimate president to think they'd just go ahead and fabricate or plant evidence. It's just not rational. This is just super agenda pursuing stuff. Edited August 11, 2022 by ozimoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
