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.

"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...

FBI did not believe it had probable cause for Mar a L raid

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.

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."

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?!?

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

Jeff, why do you keep defending a pedophile?

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