  1. President Trump one of America's True Warriors

  2. So these dimwits want to attack and defund the FBI- the ones who fight human trafficking, terrorists, cartel and national security threats? 🤔 Dismantle FBI, THEN WHAT? Military? OK. Can we please address THAT and call it for what it is?

    White domestic terrorists. Stop beating round the bush. If they were black and brown, we all know the narrative. I need the press and Democrats to push back and on the same page. Nobody is safe when these once fringe crazies threaten the resources meant to protect everybody. Wake up

  3. ‏They claim that I am a polytheist and they fight me for that help me i in ksa

  4. Judge is way too slow to release the Affidavit. Garland brings it to Congress next week. It will get released then by GOP congress

  5. Your an dork trump doesn't want that stuff seen?

  6. Does that mean he's going to jail now

  7. Lol people still believe the Russia hoax?

  8. Republicans serve Trump and NOT AMERICA

    Republicans' oath is to Trump and NOT Constitution

    DeSantis's Stop Woke Act is what communist use to prevent any discussion, debate, teaching freely.

    Federal Judge told DeSantis "You cannot win the argument by muzzling your opponent"

    Republicans manipulate and incite violence and hate toward anyone who disagrees.

  9. All of these nothing Burgers the left are choking down are giving the sheeple narcissistic personality disorder!!!

  10. MAGA is already coming after this judge for having done his legitimate duty. By granting the search warrant based on a sound affidavit. I believe that the judges current decision, to possibly grant a partial view of the affidavit is personal. He is trying to protect himself and his family from any further escalation of violence from MAGA. Based on the track record of MAGA, and the violence that he has already witnessed being faced by many republicans. The ones who dare to do the right thing, even in the conduct of their very jobs or moral duties. They are seen as supposedly going against Donald Trump and are therefore marked, singled out, hunted down and punished.
    I believe that his reasoning is that if goes against protocol. By ignoring the justice departments position regarding the document remaining sealed. He would redeem himself somewhat to MAGA. Thereby eliminating their thinking of him being taken in by the 'deep state' and erasing the view of himself as being a Rhino.

  11. Can those fools fit anymore flags behind *him*?!….. Did he take them home too,to decorate the grounds of his mansion,or use them on his golf course…. ugh.

  12. In the mean time when is the next GESTAPO raid? Oh that's right. It's a secret along with we're not telling you why. We just want to intimidate for the future.

  13. Trump is headed for the final showdown. He is a criminal who will rightfully end up in prison. We will finally be rid of this scumbag.

  14. there is a war between corrupt politicians-thieves and people who just want to live. They spend what they want not their money and do not give anyone an account of how and where they spend. They are like a mafia, they clung to each other and support and protect each other, that is, they give our money to anyone and anywhere and send it where it is beneficial for them so that they can get benefits for themselves and their relatives, and those who say what they want investigation, clean from everywhere. They release criminals, just so that they vote for them and they remain in power, Journalists and program hosts, like dogs on a leash, say what is written, the president is already out of his mind, just like all the old politicians, they cannot even read what is written to them and they all became billionaires. What a shame to our country.

  15. People talk about this like it’s something in the past, something the US and its allies did back in history but now it’s Russia doing it. No, this is happening currently in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela etc, and will continue to happen unless drastic changes are made.

    The murderousness, tyranny and omnicidal recklessness of the US-centralized empire is a problem of unequalled urgency regardless of what Russia happens to be doing. You can’t just bleat “whataboutism” and make that go away. It’s a problem that urgently needs to be dealt with.

    It’s an objectively good thing if more attention is brought to that urgent problem by someone saying “Oh you’re upset about this war? Wait til you hear about what your own government has been doing.” Any attempt to interfere in their pointing this out is facilitating mass murder. Either help draw attention to this problem or stop interrupting people who are drawing attention to it with power-serving gibberish about “whataboutism”.

    During the Cuban Missile Crisis everyone had a healthy fear of nuclear annihilation, and people wanted de-escalation above all else. Today hardly anyone even cares about the insane nuclear brinkmanship games being played, and all mainstream factions are calling only for escalation.

  16. CON ESTA FEROZ CENSURA NAZI ILEGAL TOTALITARIA EL GENOCIDIO ES INNEGABLE.

  17. Trumpy Boxes
    Trumpy boxes in the basement
    Trumpy boxes full of documents
    Trumpy boxes are classified
    Trumpy boxes not the same

    There's confidential and secret
    Top secret, TS/SCI
    That were taken from the White House
    And they all don't look the same

    The subpoena he did receive
    For the documents not turned over
    The plastic and cardboard boxes
    That the FBI reclaimed

    And there's Trumpers and his lawyers
    And the far-right wacky media
    And they all spew propaganda
    And they all sound just the same

    The Loser plays on his golf course
    And guzzles down his Diet Coke
    And then adds some extra ketchup
    To cheeseburgers on his plate

    And he can only play checkers
    While Merrick Garland plays 3-D chess
    Donald's being out-maneuvered
    Doesn't grasp the bigger game

    At the New York deposition
    He had taken the Fifth Amendment
    Over four hundred forty times
    And each time, it was the same

    Who's the mole on the inside?
    Is it Jared or Ivanka?
    Or maybe wife Melania?
    Inner circle is in play

    Files confidential and secret
    Top secret, TS/SCI
    Now retrieved from Mar-a-Lago
    He took them, what was his aim?

  18. The Judge is acting like Solomon, give each Party what they ask for. The DOJ says they want most of the affidavit to remain sealed about witnesses, informants, evidence and investigation details, and Trump through his Attorneys has been mum and asked for no specifics. That's an easy call, one party asks for nothing and will receive almost nothing. I can't believe Trump's Attorneys have not even asked for the identity of the informant.

  19. Thank God for Trump – the light of Trump “I will also make You a light for the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” Isaiah 49:6

  20. Liz Cheney? She's obsolete!!!!

  21. Why would folks not rust the FBI ?

  22. Yeah we are going need some new pandemic bullshit before midterm if Biden doesn't get his head out of his ass and start taking care of whats left of the middle class

  23. What's with the blinking blue patrol car lights? This search was not known to the public until Trump put it o n blast after they left.

    Please explain these blinking patrol car lights.

  24. The Fbi Is all about whatever secret society says, so if need a lie, their make one FBI are just little bitches taking orders no matter what

  25. How would the news media know that it is in the public interest to unseal the affidavit if they don’t know what’s in it?

  26. I see alot of democrats scared that everyone will see what us smart people already know. And that is that this was another attempt to smear trump and once again he will be proving right. But I love how democrats don't realize that the more they bitch and complain about trump and try to make him look bad the more people want him as president again even some democrats, we will see a huge swing during midterms and trump will win again in 2024.

  27. THE destination of President Trump should be decided by the people not the noble !!!

  28. The press would like to see every top secret document at the pentagon, that does not mean they should be allowed to see them. An Investigation should not be compromised just because the press wants the info now. Remember , that Trump's lawyers made no arguments to make the affidavit public.

  29. Biden attacking a political opponent. Which meets the definition of fascism. Democrat's are fascists just like Hitler.

  30. Witch hunt and political hit.

  31. Trump is running for President in 2024 and the Democrats have no one that can beat him. Unseal that you woke low IQ pathetic libtards! Cheers!

  32. "The lawyer signed a statement in June that all documents marked as classified and held in boxes in storage at Mar-a-Lago had been given back…"

  33. And WHY does the " Public have a right to know " , what right is that?

  34. Wow. FBI bring fake witness comming from stupid corruption joe biden ..the whole country know that.

  35. August 18, 2022

    The FBI division overseeing the investigation of former President Trump's handling of classified material at his Mar-a-Lago residence is also a focus of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation of the bureau's alleged abuses of power and political bias during its years-long Russiagate probe of Trump.

    The FBI's nine-hour, 30-agent raid of the former president's Florida estate is part of a counterintelligence case run out of Washington – not Miami, as has been widely reported – according to FBI case documents and sources with knowledge of the matter. The bureau's counterintelligence division led the 2016-2017 Russia "collusion" investigation of Trump, codenamed "Crossfire Hurricane."

    Although the former head of Crossfire Hurricane, Peter Strzok, was fired after the disclosure of his vitriolic anti-Trump tweets, several members of his team remain working in the counterintelligence unit, the sources say, even though they are under active investigation by both Durham and the bureau's disciplinary arm, the Office of Professional Responsibility. The FBI declined to respond to questions about any role they may be taking in the Mar-a-Lago case.

    In addition, a key member of the Crossfire team – Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten – has continued to be involved in politically sensitive investigations, including the ongoing federal probe of potentially incriminating content found on the abandoned laptop of President Biden's son Hunter Biden, according to recent correspondence between the Senate Judiciary Committee and FBI Director Christopher Wray. FBI whistleblowers have alleged that Auten tried to falsely discredit derogatory evidence against Hunter Biden during the 2020 campaign by labeling it Russian "disinformation," an assessment that caused investigative activity to cease.

  36. The patriots who reported that Trump possessed highly secret documents he had stolen need to be protected from Trump and his cult followers.

  37. Is it true the federal government poisoned Americans during Alcohol prohibition why don't the federal government get investigated on and who would investigate a federal government 🤔

  38. Trump must face the death penalty in the United States courts of America

  39. Definitely hope he gets to share a cell with big Bertha

  40. Imagine, the sheer possibility, that the FBI might have stopped an ongoing crime illegally!

    What a real pity it is to see how the Trump corrupted GOP continues to strip itself of any credibility.

  41. Is Trump in Jail yet, How long dose it take to lock this guy up

  42. I hope it's a part that shows D J T's guilt. Shut that fat ass buffoon up Trump and other's are so far being protected until they get to the truth. I don't know why anything should be released yet. Trump will just use it to his advantage. Follow the rule of law. Period! Innocent people need to be protected. But the ones saying things about or against Trump needs to be heavily investigated to make sure they speak the truth.

  43. BAD IDEA

    CHUMP 232 WILL USE THE INFORMATION TO INTIMIDATE THOSE COOPERATING

    HE'S A LOW LIFE AND THIS WILL OBSTRUCT THE INVESTIGATION
