The Justice Department requests that the Mar-a-Lago affidavit remain sealed
The Justice Department wants to keep the affidavit, related the warrant that called for the Mar-a-Lago raiding, to remain sealed. They argued that there was an ongoing investigation and its integrity needed to be protected. They also indicated that the release of the affidavit would have implications for national security.
From the Post Millennial:
“Information about witnesses is particularly sensitive given the high-profile nature of this matter and the risk that the revelation of witness identities would impact their willingness to cooperate with the investigation,” the DOJ said.
The warrant enabled more than 30 federal agents to storm Trump’s Florida property on the belief that Trump and his team had not returned all documents that are deemed government property under the Presidential Records Act, specifically materials related to the National Archives and Records Administration.
“Disclosure of the government’s affidavit at this stage would also likely chill future cooperation by witnesses whose assistance may be sought as this investigation progresses, as well as in other high-profile investigations,” the DOJ said in reference to sources.
“There remain compelling reasons, including to protect the integrity of an ongoing law enforcement investigation that implicates national security, that support keeping the affidavit sealed,” the DOJ said while confirming that it has no objections to other information related to the warrant being released.
The request to see the information was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida by various media groups who wanted to see the information.
Separately Senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio wrote Avril Haines, the director of National Intelligence, and Attorney General Merrick Garland for more information on the incident.

Ah yes, the “secret witness” excuse.
Search warrant affidavits that have confidential sources, or
discuss national security information are almost always sealed.
For good reason.
Stop acting like you are an idiot just to make Trump’s propaganda sound reasonable.
That’s it I am leaving. I am never coming back.
I don’t think I said that.
I am pretty sure I said “it was a mistake to come back”.
You did. Repeatedly. Yet here you are. Why?
I have impulse control issue and mental health problems.
First step is admitting the problem…next is seeking help!
Good Luck and I’ll pray for you, really!
Won’t do any good. A six-year case of TDS is incurable, even with extensive electro shock therapy.
Even if you let it run till his ears start to smoke?
You can be compensated for that.
obviously
So, you agree…
That’s the biggest “no shit” statement in the history of forever. Get help.
Shocker!
Seek help. I hope you can get it under control.
Well….correct that mistake. Or, are you still here for the Soros bucks as a paid internet troll?
OK
^^^^Lars is Gen. Milley & Lloyd Austin’s love child. Chang my mind.
So, Lars, you finally admit that you have impulse control and other mental health issues, just as many here at TAH have been saying for years. This presents us with a bit of a quandary: Is that really an honest admission or is it a deceptive attempt to deflect criticism?
Ol’ Poe tends to think it’s the former but your long record of posting outrageous claims and mendacious charges makes any statement from you suspect. And even if it is true, it still does not give you free rein to come to this site and sling your caustic abuse without in-kind rebuttals.
Like an alcoholic family member, your problem may be actual illness, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the family has to put up with your constant bullshit, to put it in terms you frequently use. So, either get your act together or leave, as you have so often vowed to do.
But do not continue as you long have and expect the rest of us to cut you any special slack.
You mean like you do already?
Are you a lawyer? Or do you just play one on the internet?
The “anonymous complaint”…
Confirmed by “unnamed sources”
In other words, the FBI doesn’t want you to know how much they “planted” when they visited Mar-A -Lago the last time.
After the “Whitmer Kidnap Plot”, lying to FISA court, “Insurance Plan”, the complete disregard of The Biden Crime Family, and so on…the 3-letter agencies have NO credibility.
Are you kidding me?
Trump was able to watch the entire god damn search on security cameras.
One of his lawyers was present.
You would think he would be releasing videos of FBI agents carrying a dozen boxes INTO Mar-A-Largo.
He has video of the search. There is cameras all over the resort.
His lies and excuses are idiotic and you are a moron for believing them.
Do you really think there were cameras in his wife’s closet?
From Russia-gate to Panty-gate, the FBI has ZERO credibility. Trump’s lawyers were barred from overseeing their search, and they requested all securities cameras be switched off, but that’s standard…right? Not like an FBI lawyer altered the CIA’s email stating Carter Paige was an asset so they could lie to the FISA Court…right? What’s the chain of custody since the “evidence” left Mar-A-Lago? But a crack fiend can fly AF1 cuz, ya know, equal application of the law. Nobody is above the law is such bullshit.
I think it would be a wise move to launder everything in her room that the FBI “touched” or “tried on”.
If there are, how would one go about getting copies?
Asking for a friend.
Uh, the two lawyers were ordered to stay outside the building in the 90+ degree heat. I imagine your new American Stasi would have shot them if they ventured into the building.
The FBI had the cameras turned off and his lawyers were made to stay outside. Nice try though.
It is just like you say. Commissary. More Trump lies. Now he is claiming that the FBI demanded that he turn off the video cameras. The FBI would never say such a thing because they would want to show that what they were doing was honest and above board and not planting evidence.
More lies. Trump’s lawyer was ordered to leave by the Feebs and they would not let him look at the warrant any closer than 10 feet. Multiple violations of law and civil rights abounded. I could go on but I have better things to do besides school you.
More of the obozo transparency in action.
Obama is not president anymore.
Tell your nurse you need your meds, and a nap.
I’m not too sure about that…
He is deluded. The regime is full of 0bamunists. Show me someone who is in a position of control that isn’t one.
Yes he is dumbass. Look closely and you will see Homey da Klown’s hand up Biden’s senile old ass. This is the third term of Obamaman.
Neither is Trump.
Yet.
You have self-identified mental health issues. (Hint: See your comment above.)
Is the child proof cap on your prescription too difficult for you or something?
Because it literally listed all the evidence and sources that supports the probable cause for the search, what specifically they are searching for, including details of the national security significance of the information, and why they think he has it, and where they think it is and why evidence they have to support that assertion.
And since we are talking about national security information and a likely informant OF COURSE THEY DON’T WANT IT PUBLIC!! At least until the investigation is over. And even then they will want to redact any specific details about the national security significance of the information.
And if you gave a fuck about national security you wouldn’t want it public either.
But you are putting loyalty over Trump over loyalty to the country. As usual. All for a Trump simping misinformation narrative that only works on morons.
That’s what you think, Lars-boi.
Your track record is against you.
Pathetic.
And I have been far more accurate than Q has over the last six years.
Ok, I’m back.
Yep, Lars I have to give you credit. You were dead right on the Steele Dossier being gospel, including all the times you quoted it over the years about alleged Trump wrong doing. If ever anyone was right about a thing it was you and the FBI. Never, ever, ever would leftist lie about stuff. I feel terrible about the whole thing. I am going to go home and rethink my life.
A stopped clock is right more often than Q. That’s setting the bar pretty low, even for you.
I have actually been right about several things. You all just won’t admit it.
I said a pandemic was our biggest near term national security threat.
I predicted that the total US deaths would likely exceed 1,000,000.
I predicted that the pandemic would last a few years and more people would die in the second year than the first.
I predicted that Hillary being nominated might lead to a Trump win.
I predicted that Trump would try to stay in office even if he loses the election.
I predicted that Trump has no genuine loyalty to the US and he will put his own interests over the interests of the country as president.
One more major prediction still waiting for confirmation/outcomes…
Trump would be indicted and convicted.
Thank you for being a prophet of our day. No one, I mean no one could have seen those things coming. Your timely and accurate warnings interrupted what was certain to be a tragedies of epic proportions.
Don’t be modest either. Your predictions on all those other issues were very close and only be concealed by the media covering Trump lies.
Your emotional support dog is right for repeatedly running away.
“I said a pandemic was our biggest near term national security threat.”
Nobody believes that but you and Milley. You also believe climate change is the biggest near term security threat.
“I predicted that the total US deaths would likely exceed 1,000,000.”
Did you count deaths FROM covid, or WITH covid? I’m sorry the boomer total wasn’t higher.
“I predicted that the pandemic would last a few years and more people would die in the second year than the first.”
Pretty much true for every pandemic.
“I predicted that Hillary being nominated might lead to a Trump win.”
Not that big a reach. Everyone knew that but Hillary.
“I predicted that Trump would try to stay in office even if he loses the election.”
I’ll give you a 25% on that. There’s still questionable shit in our voting process.
“I predicted that Trump has no genuine loyalty to the US and he will put his own interests over the interests of the country as president.”
I’ll take his loyalty over an antifa medic’s
Loyalty to the US. Really I’m going to listen to a communist accuse Trump of not being loyal to the US. Dude please keep your opinion’s on loyalty and patriotism to yourself. Communists don’t get to accuse people of disloyalty.
Q doesn’t exist. He/she/it is some internet troll the shitposted nothing but agitprop.
I’ve never read anything on this site where anyone has referred to Q to back up or make a point. Most conservatives think Q is for a few crazy people a small minority at best, but after reading your stuff you maybe polar opposite’s of the same kind of crazy 😜.
Every excuse Trump has come up with so far would only work on morons
I know. This one time he said he didn’t collude with the Russians and that was a proven to be a pack of lies. And he said the Dossier was fake and then they found that hooker that peed him and she testified before the US Congress, and then he made up all that stuff about Hunter Biden taking bribes for Joe Biden.
The man is nothing but proven lies and falsehoods.
I am not even done yet.
Remember when Trump banned all the Muslims from coming into the country? What about in 2014 when he ordered Obama to lock all those kids in cages? He denied it but when the pictures came out he looked the fool didn’t he? Remember when Trump said that Iran was cheating on the Nuclear Deal? They were totally not, and have only threatened to Nuke New York like five times now. What about those high crimes of trying to get the Ukraine to give up the dirt on the Biden’s? When the eye witness came and testified to Congress he showed Trump didn’t he? What about when Trump said that shutting down the world economy for Covid would cause more harm than good? History sure proved him wrong on that one. Lockdowns don’t prevent infections my foot; follow the science people, follow the science.
There is no end to his deceptions and his lies. There aren’t enough digits in the internet to cover them all.
The worst part IMHO is the lack of media coverage of Trump’s lies. It’s almost like CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO and the networks treat everything he says as Gospel. They let him get away with everything. It’s only through people like you Lars that we can learn the truth. Really you are the most selfless public servant of our age. Keeping it real.
The Mueller report detailed that his team did frequently communicate with Russians.
Mueller just couldn’t prove Trump was involved.
Trump assigned a “former” Russian agent to lead his campaign, an agent who admitted he sold campaign information to the Russians. Trump pardoned that Russian agent when he left office. He was also a convicted Russian money launderer.
Trump appointed a “former” Russian agent as an advisor.
The reason Kushner was denied his clearance was because he failed to disclose business deals and meetings he had with Russian officials.
Trump had to use his executive authority to grant Kushner a clearance because he was deemed unqualified.
Another senior member of Trump’s campaign was a known and now convicted Russian money launderer.
Trump’s foreign policy advisor, who was previously employed by a Russian bank and connected to Russian money laundering, also provided Russia with campaign information.
I will post more on the open thread.
See this is exactly What I am talking about. You are our savior.
Like Trump lies are along the lines of Paul Manafort hired Kilimnink in 2005 to run operations in the Ukraine. But Trump was lying about all that and knew he was a secret agent all along so that he could help the Russians invade the Ukraine back when Trump was president in 2014 and after when he was president in 2022. Like Mueller said Manafort put him in there. But it was really Trump because well, you told us that. Paul Manafort was just a figurehead and never really did anything.
“I will post more on the open thread.”
Oh, Heaven help us, Larsie-poo is threatening to come back to inflict us with moore of “his” (so far, gender unspecified and unknown) of his Blarney Stone blather. And to read his screeds, sounds like he didn’t kiss the Blarney stone so much as bang his head into unconsciousness against the Sacred Stone.
That’s either a good reason to cancel the WOT, or time to prime the claymores and stir the foo gas. Friday is gonna rock!
Комиссар… Reading your posts brings this to mind:
How about the current Biden CIA Director, William Burns? It has been reported that as head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the prominent D.C. think tank employed at least 20 undisclosed Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members.
Burns’ term as head of Carnegie, from 2015 to November 2021, coincided with a higher state of concern from the FBI regarding the CCP carrying out “malign influence operations” against key American institutions, with FBI Director Christopher Wray warning in July 2020 that the CCP seeks to “influence our policymakers” and “manipulate our public opinion” by exploiting the “openness” of our society.
Then factor in the reported 31 Million dollars paid to Hunter, with 10% to “the big guy”.
No conflict?
How do you know it involves national security?
Because there was classified information. That, by definition, involves national security.
The very definition of information that is classified is that the disclosure would cause “harm to national security”.
In this case ”exceptionally grave harm”.
NO, because the fascists of the FBI claimed it involved classified information. And that is perfect, because claiming they went after classified information means they can lie at will about what they went after and what they came out with. This was nothing more than a political hit and leftard kabuki theater, with all the cops, feds, flashing lights, guns and such, which were totally for show and unnecessary to serve that falsified warrant.
So you actually believe what these regime thugs feed you? These are the same thugs who
* Pushed Russia collusion hoax
* Spied on law-abiding Americans
* Lied to FISA court
* Ignored Hillary’s server escapades
* Ignored Biden Family criminal activity
* Persecutes journalists at Project Veritas
* Treats J6 trespassers like terrorists
* Goes after PTA moms
Okey dokey
Not putting loyalty to Trump over National Security, but it would be nice if they were consistent in their investigations when it comes to politicians misbehaving. You know, that “reasonable prosecutor” thing.
Not gonna happen Hack Stone. DoJ and the feebees are owned by the Killary Krime Kartel and the DNC. And have been for years.
With large minority stakes owned by George Soros and Xi Jinping.
You have no fucking idea what it listed. You have not seen it, nor has anyone else outside the feeb con artists that drafted it. They committed multiple violations of law during the illegal search.
If they will not provide the actual affidavit then it remains for lawyers with a sense of humor to mock one up, for general mockery of the plaintiff(s), and general distribution.
I just bet they did. Nothing says “we committed an illegal search after lying to a libtard judge acout it to get the warrant” like that warrant seeing the light of day and being exposed as the political hit it was.
Sounds legit!
AND they’re surrounded by assholes!
Keep firing, assholes!
