WaPo: FBI resisted Mar-a-Lago raid, DoJ prosecutors demanded it. Why?

[struth]

Why do you keep repeating that LIE?

The National Archives IS WHO CALLED the FBI in to help silly one.

and NO, he was not cooperating with it he National Archives.... It took Trump a year of National Archive requests to return what he intentionally illegally took, and then he only returned 15 cartons of records, which was maybe 20% of what he took, another 6 months of FBI involvement trying to get Trump to return the classified records to no avail... The FBI was involved because the National Archives found topsecret documents in what Trump returned the Jan 2022, and he return a handful more of documents to the FBI in June....

and his lawyer LIED saying he returned everything,there were no more records left.

FBI got Trump security camera video via subpoena in July, which showed trump having records moved before the FBI visit and lie about returning them all. An insider at Mara Lago also confessed to more records Trump had not returned and told the FBI where the records were. FBI got a court order subpoena for them...the August Search and Seizure of Mara Lago..

August of 2022 was 1 year and 8 months from when Trump intentionally took the government records, to when they had to be seized by the FBI to get them back in to govt custody.

Biden a week.

Pence a week.

It's utter bull shit that Trump was cooperating, he did nothing of the sort....

He delayed, delayed, delayed, and he hid them, and lied under oath about them....

haha he returned the 15 boxes as soon as he was contacted

xiden hide documents he stole for decades

Did the FBI get a bad rap in the wake of the raid on Mar-a-Lago? According to the Washington Post, the raid took place only after months of debate between the FBI and prosecutors from the Department of Justice. The FBI argued that a request for a full search of the property would have sufficed, according to two senior officials from the bureau.
The prosecutors wanted a raid, however, and the DoJ agreed:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/03/01/fbi-dispute-trump-mar-a-lago-raid/

Some of the field agents wanted to end the standoff altogether. FBI executives didn’t want to go that far, according to the WaPo’s sources, but they didn’t want to escalate matters with a splashy raid when a quieter and more cooperative search might have sufficed. Part of that sprang from precedents set with Hillary Clinton and blowback the bureau received over how that was handled, but part of it was concern over the political costs of escalation.
Gee, which side ended up being correct?
Prosecutors insisted that Trump was hiding highly classified material on purpose and wouldn’t cooperate with a search request anyway. The raid did find some highly classified material, but thus far not of the sort that the DoJ believed Trump held. (In fact, since the raid, the DoJ has gotten very very quiet about that material and have thus far resisted briefing Congress on it. Hmmm.) It’s not clear why prosecutors wanted a raid rather than just ask for access first, but one can bet that they wanted a big media splash more than the FBI, and the political damage to Trump that they thought it would incur.
And then the entire matter ended up backfiring on the DoJ when it turned out that Joe Biden had highly classified material at at least one of his own residences, including material from his time in the Senate, when Biden had no custodial authority at all for such retention. Even his allies among the Senate Democrat caucus expressed amazement and criticism as to how Biden ended up with that material.
The DoJ then stepped in it all over again when they declined to raid Biden’s other residences and his Senate library at the University of Delaware. Instead, they did what the FBI wanted to do with Trump in the first place: ask for permission to search his property. And the DoJ still hasn’t looked at Biden’s Senate library to see how much classified material might be stored there.


Commentary:
I’m not buying it. This is just another FBI undercover intelligence operation intended to rehabilitate their reputation via well-placed “anonymous source” lies.
There is no rehabilitation possible for the FBI; the rot is too pervasive and within its core. They need to be disbanded.
Actually all of DHS needs to be destroyed. Carefully build a much smaller, much less powerful federal investigation body with strict safeguards to protect Americans. Maybe make it “intelligence only” and use Federal Marshal Force outsourcing police powers to State Police.

Don't confuse several FBI Agents with 'the FBI'. As internal memos, whistleblowers, and their own actio s have proven, FBI LEADERSHIP are politically partisanly weaponized, have been for decades.

Don't fall for the BS govt / fake news media trying to paint 'THE FBI' as 'abuse victims' FORCED to do 'bad' things.

Duh, did they beg Biden to return them for 8 straight months? No

and

did Biden claim they were his and refuse to return them all to the National Archives time and time again? No

Did Trump invite the FBI in to all of his residences like Biden to search for any of the classified documents that may be there? No.

Trump has been a pompous ass! He made his own sorry bed and has not warranted any pity imo.

trump cooperated, wasn’t hiding them and was actively working to seperate personal from govt.
