Anybody got access to digital Wall St. Journal? If you do, please print this article. I don't subscribe and as much as I would like to read that article, I'm not going to pay to read it since I pretty much know what it says, still want to read it. In one respect, I think it addresses what got 1bm1 so hot under the collar, that this was a "general warrant" and therefore illegal violating the 4th Amendment. Now what perhaps 1bm1 failed to see as he often does, I wasn't stating that as a fact! When two lawyers enter a court room, they bring two very different opinions to be argued. The first one to tell the other lawyer that they are an idiot for their opinion and he knows far more about these things after all being a more superior attorney, they turn out to be the idiot with that air of superiority that usually bites people like that in the ass sooner or later.. ( RittenHouse ) But I digress.
What I was saying and maybe It wasn't good enough for a more superior mind, is that "THIS", a discussion on whether this was a general warrant or otherwise illegal, is going to be argued!!! That is all I said or was trying to say and the real attorney in the room says, "you don't know what you are talking about and embarrassing yourself". Well that last part, I have to admit I got a chuckle from that.
And as it turns out, low and behold ( I think ) the esteemed Wall St. Journal confirms the idea that there is a legal debate as to whether this warrant was "up to par", shall we say.
All that I ever said, "there will be a discussion on this issue", and "WALA".
Now if that is
NOT what the article says at all, forget I said any of this

The Trump Warrant Had No Legal Basis
A former president’s rights under the Presidential Records Act trump the statutes the FBI cited to justify the Mar-a-Lago raid.

Was the Federal Bureau of Investigation justified in searching Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago? The judge who issued the warrant for Mar-a-Lago has signaled that he is likely to release a redacted version of the affidavit supporting it. But the warrant itself suggests the answer is likely no—the FBI had no legally valid cause for the raid.
The warrant authorized the FBI to seize “all physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§793, 2071, or 1519” (emphasis added). These three criminal statutes all address the possession and handling of materials that contain national-security information, public records or material relevant to an investigation or other matters properly before a federal agency or the courts.
And that's where it ends if you don't pay up.
I mean, we only have to look at the Clinesmith case where an attorney for the FBI falsified an affidavit that was given to a FISA Judge and their opinion, to move forward with "Crossfire Hurricane" I think it was called and they did and it was based on false information and we are just supposed to say "well, maybe that won't happen in this case"? No, sorry, those days are gone now. The DOJ and FBI upper echelon,
have thoroughly disgraced themselves but for a damn righteous cause in their estimation "get Donald Trump" and I don't care how you have to do it"! Oh, that reminds me, that was all most word for word the FALSE accusation that Adam ( shit for brains ) Schiff said was part of the phone call between Trump an Zelensky. "I want you to get Joe Biden for me and I don't care how you do it", Schiff said, Trump said. And when it blew up in Schiffs face, that he had "made up" part of a conversation that was later used to help impeach a President for doing essentially, what we saw Vice President Biden do on video.
Offer a quid pro quo, you do this for me and I give you money, but it was OK because Obama, the President said it was OK, the only one that matters I guess, that has that right but if that's true, didn't President Trump have that same right being President and all, "look into this Biden family corruption thing would you, "WE" as in the people of the U.S., would be grateful". That was it, no literal quid pro quo, just one made up to impeach a President.
Anyway, if you can print this article, I sure would like to read it.
