The FBI debated whether it had probable cause, until it decided that it did; and the subsequent raid proved them entirely right.

Call your mother right now and apologize.

Like rats, you're always looking for any gap in our knowledge to give you room to ---- on things.

Cute little retorts like that arent gonna get you out of answering the question.

The only thing that can get you out of answering the question is by admitting you don't know

"FBI did not believe it had probable cause"

Funny how they weren't able to convince the judge there's no PC, when it came time to get a warrant...

So what? What a few agents believed is irrelevant.

What is relevant is a judge issued a warrant.

Even more relevant Buffoon suck-up, Judge Cannon, upheld the warrant finding probable cause existed.

#17 | Posted by et_al at 2025-12-17 06:06 PM

Yet another predictable retort from Zed.

Tries to dismiss a statement with an absurd allegation that he can't back any of it up

Again, nobody help him

"On Tuesday, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a batch of internal FBI emails leading up to the August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago.

In one email, written weeks before the search, an agent wrote that the FBI's Washington field office did not believe that probable cause existed to search the property.

;;

"BUT Republicans who trumpeted the emails as proof that the Biden Justice Department was out to get Trump OMITTED THE FACT that agents who later searched the property reported finding boxes of classified, even top-secret, documents. In addition, the then-head of the Washington field office has testified to Congress that by the time of the search, the FBI believed probable caused existed to do it."

Perhaps one day JeffytheB will learn not to believe his Republican Cult's lies, even those of omission.... NAW!

You're joking, right?

FFS, folks had to have a particular security clearance to LOOK at the evidence. And Orange Julius still hasn't given it all back?!?

And that's why they found exactly what they were looking for there.

1. Trump kept classified files.
2. Trump refused to turn them over when caught.
3. Trump lied about keeping classified files.
4. Trump refused to turn over additional classified files when caught lying.
5. A judge determined there was probable cause for the search.
6. Numerous classified files disappeared.

"But Chuck Grassley has an email from someone saying they weren't sure there was probable cause. So he is innocent!"

Jeff, why do you keep defending a pedophile?

Are you just okay with pedophilia...or...are you more than okay with it..?

#27 | Posted by Sycophant

Because Trump is his Fuhrer, if you haven't figured it out.

BELLRINGER is a fascist. In the fascist system, the Leader does what he wants and none of it is wrong.

BELLRINGER has done this forever. Double back on clear, established history with some story that lets Trump off the hook.

At this point I have no idea if the OP actually believes in what he posted or is trolling for fun, but the rest of you are really going in hard on the "when they go dumb, we go dumber" motif and have fallen into the trap that every magatroll wants you to.

#34 | Posted by sentinel at 2025-12-18 11:12 AM

I didn't post it to troll, although I knew the DR lefties would react exactly as depicted in the 15 second video I posted in #1. I posted it because I thought it was an interesting revelation. But most of the left on this site has rabies, so ... ..

Jeff's entire argument that a few field agents did not think there was probable cause and therefore the entire raid was invalid is the kind of folly that the GOP constantly engages in to invalidate things they want to hide or discredit. They'll ignore that a judge reviewed the evidence and issued a warrant and that probable caused existed on trial.

That is why Jeffy is a joke.

And that the material they suspected was there was ... actually there.
