NEW: Eric Trump says FBI asked for surveillance cameras to be turned off during execution of search warrant at Mar-A-Lago; says Trump will release footage “at the right time”pic.twitter.com/XejnDS4dt7

The FBI had DC Mayor Marion Barry trapped. They had him on tape having an affair with a woman who was not his bride and using coke. That was enough to indict him.
But when the case came to trial, his lawyers demanded the FBI show jurors the whole tape. And for 83 minutes, the court saw Barry's ex-girlfriend, Hazel Diane “Rasheeda” Moore, try to get Barry to do drugs.
When he finally did, the FBI quickly arrested him. He uttered those infamous words: "Bitch set me up."
She had. The FBI had. And the jury rightly acquitted him.
The videotape exonerated him.
Guess who else has videotape. The Donald.
Now guess who is sweating. The FBI.
CNN reported, "Some allies of former President Donald Trump are urging him to publicly release surveillance footage of FBI agents executing a search warrant on his Mar-a-Lago residence, a proposal that has drawn mixed reaction inside his orbit, CNN has learned.
"The CCTV footage has been so closely held that aides to the former President aren't sure if he has seen it in full himself, said a person close to Trump.
"'I don't think it's been shared by anyone outside of the attorneys,' this person said.
"Yet when asked earlier this week by Fox's Sean Hannity whether the footage would be released, Trump's son Eric said, 'Absolutely Sean, at the right time.'
"Some of Trump's aides and allies have encouraged the former President to make some of the footage available to the public, believing it could send a jolt of energy through the Republican Party's base. One person familiar with the conversations said there have been discussions about featuring the August footage in campaign-style ads, believing the footage could bolster Trump's claims of political persecution.
"Another person close to Trump said it's not a matter of if the former President and his team release any of the footage, but when, noting it could be released before he makes a campaign announcement."

Bitch Set Me Up is one of my favorite quotes from American history. I put it right up there with Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death because the government is not supposed to set you up like that.
But Trump's security cameras can (and will) turn the table on the bureau. The FBI fears the CCTV footage that Trump has.
The Washington Examiner (its owner is a Never Trumper) said, "Andrew McCabe, a former deputy director of the FBI, said on CNN that there would be 'deep concern' within the bureau with such a video release. Among the reasons he listed were the disclosure of classified materials and the 'increased risk' that it would pose to agents involved in the search after Breitbart published the names of FBI agents who carried out the raid."
Trump fired McCabe and withheld part of his pension. THAT was not in the story because that would have discredited McCabe.
The real risk for the 30 FBI agents who conducted the raid should be jail for abusing power. They sought and got a Democrat magistrate who once served as Epstein's lawyer to grant the search warrant.
Search warrant? Fishing license is more like it. The FBI's cover story was they were looking for classified documents (he already de-classified everything at Mar-a-Lago) and then they said they were looking for nuclear codes (which are changed with every presidency). They took his passports. They had no business doing that. First they denied it. Then they admitted they had them and will return them.
In two weeks.
Unless the warrant said take his passports, they had no authority to confiscate his passports.
This was a fishing expedition because the FBI knows a president can take home whatever documents he wants.
Just the News reported, "When it comes to the National Archives, history has a funny way of repeating itself. And legal experts say a decade-old case over audio tapes that Bill Clinton once kept in his sock drawer may have significant impact over the FBI search of Melania Trump's closet and Donald Trump's personal office.
"The case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Branch.
"For pop culture, the case is most memorable for the revelation that the 42nd president for a time stored the audio tapes in his sock drawer at the White House. The tapes became the focal point of a 2009 book that Branch wrote.
"U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington D.C. ultimately rejected Judicial Watch's suit by concluding there was no provision in the Presidential Records Act to force the National Archives to seize records from a former president.
"But Jackson's ruling — along with the Justice Department's arguments that preceded it — made some other sweeping declarations that have more direct relevance to the FBI's decision to seize handwritten notes and files Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago. The most relevant is that a president's discretion on what are personal vs. official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will."
The people who conducted the Mar-a-Lago raid could be facing obstruction of justice charges.
Those CCTV tapes could be Exhibit A at their trials, which would be in Florida -- not FBI-friendly DC.
Good post -- applies truth to the FBI & D's lies.
ReplyDeleteNext 2+ years will be revolutionary for the USA. Does the country reclaim its constitutional roots or get sucked into the morass of WEF global world order and democratic socialism.
Try the next 2 decades, creating a new system of governance takes time, and mistakes will be made.
DeleteTry Capitalistic Communism
DeleteI am a far RIGHT guy... but I wonder why Rudy G and Kracken Sidney have not made public all the 2020 election fraud evidence they supposedly had?
Deleteremember... IF four 2020 election audits were conducted, (PA, WI, AZ and GA), open and honest and available for anyone's oversight... the nightmare of Pedo Joe Biden and his cast of malignant aholes would END.
" the nightmare of Pedo Joe Biden and his cast of malignant aholes would END."
DeleteNot so. Once the Congress has certified who is President and Vice President, the election is over - even if everything leading up to that point is fraudulent. There is no provision for invalidating that decision.
The Supreme Court in 1878 ruled that fraud vitiates everything to include sworn oaths. This means that when the congress, and then VP Pence, swore under oath the election was accurate that the fraud committed invalidates their ruling on who is the constitutional president.
DeleteExcellent points Don, keep up the good works. Yes it was just a fishing trip, but the voting mess willl be the real game changer if we can stop any of it ? USA now has no governement at all, just a bunch of criminals who pretend to be officials and lie nonstop for their own agendas ! They must be stopped by any means necessary
DeleteAll this is Kabuki theater BS. They probably won't get anything to stick to Trump but they can make his plans much more complicated. As for the FBI? Exactly WHO is going to do jack effing Shiite to them? Certainly not the criminals running their parent crime syndicate...the JustUs Department. And there really is no other agency that can address the FBI corruption other than Congress...which is owned by the Communist left and who likely will steal elections in Nov to maintain that control. In short TINVOWOOT...and America is screwed.
ReplyDeleteDon's heart is in the right place but agree with Dan, Who the hell would ever charge these crooked Peter Strozek coached secret police with "obstruction of justice" as Don mentions? Merrick Garland? Would the Turtle Mcconnel even speak his squeak up, supporting it publicly? Never happen. Just like hillary and obama will never be charged for assigning the same bought off FBI gestapo on trumps campaign in 2015. Or Brennan, Clapper, Comey et al
DeleteNice to dream however.
They don't NEED to be charged. Trump just needs to wait until them make a false claim about ANYTHING that he has video contradicting. THAT proves them LIARs and seals the case for FULL discloser becomes a slam dunk.
DeleteI he left them something fake, but too juicy to resist leaking (which I think is likely) he simply has to wait for it to show up in the press and spring his trap.
Pawn to queen 4, level 3. Checkmate! It the timing is just weeks before the midterms; BONUS!

DeleteVery deeply concerning for sure and when will Americans actually fight back instead of all the talk and ongong nonsense as many more criminal acts are deployed daily now ? Gotta wonder if Americans have suffered enough quite yet or just weinees and fools now beyond repair ?
DeleteWe will fight when stick breaks the camels back
DeleteAnd Trump’s lawyers made copies of the tapes, right? Keep a set in at the gold club in Scotland where the FBI can’t arrange for theft or destruction.
ReplyDeleteThey have copies of EVERYTHING that was in the building!
DeleteThere was a time when attorney-client privilege was hard set in law. Those days are over, starting with Manafort, but now repeated several times.
DeleteThose security tapes should be duplicated several times and moved to a location the FBI can never find, because a single copy will be an open invitation for another phonied-up search warrant.
Whatever charges they produce, defense attorneys should immediately demand a change of venue from Washington DC. With a 95% Democrat jury pool and a history of partisan Democrat judges, no Republican can get a fair trial in Barter Town. Preposterous? No, not really. DC is a supermarket for tainted jury pools.
I don't know how you change that, but that doesn't mean Trump or any other Republican should play along, any more than they should play patty-cake with the Southern District of New York.
"When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy."
- Abraham Lincoln
Make many copies and send them abroad. Too bad he didn't do the right thing and pardon Julian Asange, I'd bet he could make good use of them.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! One of his biggest mistakes IMHO was not pardoning Assange. That would have been a huge middle digit to “The Establishment”.
DeleteBoarwild
Agree. I was disappointed that Assange wasn't pardoned. I wonder why. The Deep State probably convinced him not to do it. Next time, I hope Trump will be wiser on that front.
DeleteI have heard that Mike Pompeo talked Trump out of pardoning Assange. Pompeo is a deepstater's deepstater. He knew how to play the game according to the rules Trump perceived were being adhered to but he is not to be trusted.
DeletePompeo looked better as a big fat volcano ready to explode.
DeleteSorry, Mike; take that Fake MAGA-Magma somewhere else.
Trump made far to many mistakes all along the way, not just by not pardoning Assange ! How many did he appoint and trust and got hosed by all of them ? One would think this would be a huge factor in a president, discernment and good jidgement. He has almost none so far sorry to say but true !

DeleteReleasing the tapes may make the next few F-umblenuts B-unch of I-diots raids a lot more hazardous to the I diots.
ReplyDeleteRemember. It’s not the crime. It’s the process. The point is to tie Trump up in a bogus investigation again through 2024. The FBI will slow walk everything. Then shrug when found to have broken the law.
ReplyDeleteYup. The process is a big part of the punishment.
DeleteSo Trump's only solution is do do like the Democrats and pretend nothing is amis!
DeleteB-but...but...he MUST be guilty or the FBI wouldn't have rifled through Melania's unmentionables. They found 27 boxes of "nucular" evidence! Besides, CNN and MSNBC both found him guilty.
DeleteThis has more to do with dirtying up Trump and sleazy election politics than it does with pettyfogging librarians at the US Archives.
That is the plan and nobody seems to do damn thing ever for the abuses, and infringements of power , why ? Most people are missing the real point here.
DeleteHoping those involved in the raid do face obstruction of justice charges. But I have so little faith in the process or justice under the law, I doubt it. At this point, there are two standards of justice. But I do have faith in Trump, so I hope for the best.
ReplyDeletePDJT learned a lot doing his reality TV show. He will build the drama and release the tapes when it can do the most damage to his enemies.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope so, SL. I really really do. Like LuAnn though, there has been so much 2-tier justice that I wonder.
Delete~TJ
Florida the trial and exposure will be in Florida. Not DC. The FIB
Deleteis in trouble. I think that Trump turned the tables on them.
We shall see if DJT has any good sense ?
DeleteI hope Trump roasts them alive!
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone think releasing the names of the FBI agents involved would expose then to danger... IF they did nothing wrong??
Deleteonly because most people are afraid of their own shadow in todays world of weaklings and fools ! The wokies are another matter entirely
DeleteNothing will happen to any Democrats. All waste of energy getting our hopes up.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats will most likely have to face justice in a crosswalk. Sure ain't going to happen in a courtroom.
DeleteYou are correct. Follow the, 'No indictment, no excitement' rule. I hope Donald Trump gets some vindication for these false accusations.
DeleteSo do not fight back, right ? You clearly already gave up and surrendered
DeleteActual PDT flushed the Secret Police rats out into the open with his RICO suit against the Obama/Clinton Syndicate. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAll this “National Security” horseshit is just to keep it within the National Security Division by the same old Obama Trash who ran the last hundred Trump Frame-Ups. There is zero accountability at DOJ and less-than-zero at the NSD.
They stopped touching their own wives’ panties years ago IYKWIMAITYD.
THIS RAID WAS DONE BY AND FOR OUR SECRET POLICE TO RETRIEVE THE DOCUMENTS WHICH LAY OUT THEIR OWN OVERWHELMING AND SEDITIOUS CRIMINAL GUILT.
no question it was all contrived and all should be punished harshly
Delete"Those CCTV tapes could be Exhibit A at their trials, which would be in Florida -- not FBI-friendly DC."
ReplyDeleteAll the "Exhibit A" material on Hunter Biden hasn't helped our side very much. He's still laughing himself silly over that. As LuAnn said, justice for me, not for thee.
Can't wait for the footage where they ransacked Melania's wardrobe:
ReplyDeleteJudge: Please explain why you are sniffing her underwear.
Fed: I, uh, um, uh.....
-LG
Judge: Director Wray... Please explain why you are WEARING her underwear!
DeleteYou haven't said it in a while, but I think somebody should.
ReplyDeleteNever Bet Against Donald John Trump.
"'Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly." Wherein I don my LeCarre cap and spin a tale.
ReplyDeleteThe Orange Guy fed a story to the FBI about Epstein's client list and other damaging documents hidden in Melania's undies. The Feds took the bait and now star in The Donald's new reality series - The Keystone Kops meet Laurel and Hardy. They will release it just before the Emmys.
Question are FBI agents who conduct raids guaranteed anonymity and immunity from prosecution?
ReplyDelete"Trump fired McCabe and withheld his pension."
ReplyDeleteAnd Merrick Garland reinstated McCabe's pension and gave him a half million dollars for his troubles.
HPB
Why do you think our blogger failed to note these facts? Ignorance? Failure to realize how DEEP the Deep State is? Laziness?
DeleteAnd how can DOJ over ride any president ? Just watch and eget lessons from their ongoing criminality and arrogance.
DeleteHad enough yet and ready to stop it all ? Or do many Americans still need to suffer more ? That is the only valid question now
I understand about the raid, but I don't understand about the Marion Berry verdict. If he took drugs and it is illegal, why does it matter if his girlfriend persuaded him to take them? It seems the verdict negates his responsibility. Can someone explain?
ReplyDeleteThe theory is the feebs are supposed to investigate crime, not create it. If their paid lackey is twisting arms to instigate a crime that might not have happened otherwise, they've poisoned the waters.
DeleteJudges hate when that happens, and might throw out the tape and never let the jury see it. That's where all those motions come in. Then the judge views it privately in chambers. If he decides the feebs screwed the poodle, then case dismissed.
It's called entrapment but I don't know enough about the DC and Barry case to know why he was acquitted. I do believe each state has different laws on it. Here is Louisiana's: https://www.neworleans-criminal-defense.com/attorney-blog/2012/02/27/what-is-entrapment-louisiana/#:~:text=Most%20states%2C%20including%20Louisiana%2C%20employ,convince%20defendants%20to%20commit%20crimes.
Deletekind of agree
DeleteWhile i dont understand how the Cameras were left on so the FBI couldn't hide anything, if they were asked to be turned off, i just pray Eric is right and they will have 3 legs to stand on.
ReplyDeleteAs the author of this blog should now well, since he wrote the words “DON’T MISUNDERESTIMATE BIDEN” (or his hatchet man, Garland; or his Praetorian Guards).
ReplyDeleteDon’t think for a second the DOJ and FBI are already scheming to get sole possession of those videotapes. Only someone who misunderestimates the demented Biden would do that.
Marion "BARRY" was DC's mayor, not Berry.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I keep making that mistake. I will fix
DeleteLove the attitude - I hope DJT drags them through at least a portion of what they drug him through!
ReplyDeleteIf only ???
DeleteI hope you are right on this. We NEED President Trump to be in the WH and we need a conservative House and Senate and we need to get rid of RINOs. I'm just afraid that even with all that, the USA will not survive.
ReplyDeleteMcCabe's wife ran for a VA State Senate seat - in my District.
ReplyDeleteShe spent more $$ on ads, targeting just my county, than both the D and R candidates for Governor spent, combined, in their State-wide campaign.
I spent 3 hours waiting in line just to vote against her.
Best 3 hours I've ever spent. And - she lost.
I want to see the video of the FBI agents ransacking Melania's wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteIf SNL still did comedy, they'd be doing weekly skits on this - capped off with a running gag of a Garland impersonator playing him at DOJ and sniffing panties while he delivered his lines.
Is it not obvious these are all wokies and haters in these positions and all were created by PRAVDA/MSM, the deep states propaganda arm ! Too simple and most miss it all so of course it all contiunues daily and gets far worse with each step ! When will Americans learn and cut these dogs tails off finally ?
ReplyDeleteI'm making over 13,000 dollars a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.
