The FBI allegedly used information provided by an informant who had intimate knowledge of the Trump family’s activities in order to procure the search warrant it needed for its raid on Mar-A-Lago.

As The Daily Wire reports:

The FBI used knowledge from an informant to justify its raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence in a warrant application to a federal judge.

An FBI confidential human source informed the bureau of classified documents that the former president was keeping in Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida resort which he moved into after leaving the White House in 2021. The FBI’s warrant application to search Trump’s residence was based largely off of information fed to the bureau from the source, down to what the documents contained and where they were being kept, two senior government officials told Newsweek.

The informant reportedly told the FBI that confidential documents were stored in specific locations around Trump’s residence. The FBI relayed that information in its warrant application to federal magistrate judge, believed to be Bruce Reinhart of Florida. The warrant apparently specified that certain documents were kept in Trump’s safe, however, Eric Trump has said that the safe the FBI searched was empty.

The relationship between the raid informant and the FBI is unclear. The FBI’s use of confidential human sources is rife with controversy and critics say that the informants are too often motivated by money rather than public service. Informants can make tens of thousands, or possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars from the FBI during investigations. Confidential human sources may commit illegal acts themselves in service of the FBI or obtain information through dubious means to push an investigation forward.

According to reports the FBI recovered 10-15 boxes worth of materials which it seized from the Trump residence during the raid.

  1. and what did the commie democrat pedophile fbi scum plant as evidence when they opened an empty safe. cause they did not allow the lawyers to watch what they did as they tried on Mrs. Trumps clothes in her closet, just like j edger cross dresser did in his day.

    1. I wouldn’t trust FBI Director Christopher Wray and his assistants in crimes even if they placed both hands on the bible .

    2. LOL! I’m picturing Attorney Misfit Garland … Dressed like ET, when the kids put ET in the dress with the bonnet!

    3. Look at the receipt for the warrant… they didn’t have to “plant” anything, just toss it into one of the boxes when they got back to the office…..

    4. Did the FBI informant know about the GSA and Trumps lawyers meetings and discussions about those files? And shouldn’t have the GSA who packaged, shipped and rechecked those files, taken the time to reclassify them appropriately? Just a thought but it was just to easy of an excuse to try and get President Trump again!

    5. Great question. Because we know you can not trust the Democrats to do the correct thing. I hope President Trump has a good electronics company that will go through the compound to ensure no listening devices were left behind. We know the Chinese have some experts that know how to install these where they are almost impossible to be found. They have them installed on light poles, roof tops, and cell phone towers. The CCP has Joe Biden in their back pocket.

  2. Of course, it is an informant and of course, it is a lame excuse with NO CREDIBILITY. What is this about, when COMMANDED to turn off all security cameras, not even to give the warrant until the end of this “search”? This country is no longer about Freedom, Dignity and Respect to the Former President but a show of force by globalists and puppets who eat ice cream (brandon) who want to show the world, they are in control. We Shall See

  3. BUT DOJ did order documents under lock & key & then FB I broke lock
    & said attorneys could not read search warrant

  4. Why is this “underhanded”??? ALL law enforcement relies on human intelligence and confidential sources. WHy is your outrage NOT directed at potential wrongdoing by Trump. THAT is the issue.

  5. So, if they knew exactly where all the National Archive material was why did the search take NINE HOURS??? Also, the National Archives says only 10 boxes remained. So what the heck was the additional material, which appears to be outside the scope of the warrant?

  6. This is the reason Republican’s MUST take the house and senate in the midterms AND the Whitehouse in 2024. And that mean’s MAGA Republican’s, NO R.I.N.O.’s, mc connell’s, graham’s, and any other weasel incumbent’s. KICK ALL THEIR SORRY ASSES OUT !

  7. Once again info is given to a willing, unquestioning press outlet so it can be turned around and used as “evidence”. Time to remove the 1st Amendment protections from the Fake News propagandist!

  8. The American people need to wake up quickly especially the 80 or so million whether they be dead or alive or bribed, American values and freedoms are disappearing from their grasp!

  9. Ever since Obama our CIA and FBI have pulled some unlawful and in American acts. Remember the informate with the Russian news who turned out to be an FBI agent. This act was what one would expect in Russia, China, No Korea etc .all Socialists nations. I would venture to say this order didnot come from Biden who no longer is mentally competent, but his former boss. All want the dimise
    of our nation.

  10. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has never had any credibility. Think of J Edgar Hoover and the ridiculous witch-hunts of the 1950’s. Think of the assassination of JFK, in which LBJ and the FBI almost certainly played a major role. This highly questionable raid on Trump’s property should be the final straw. Abolish the FBI. It’s just an organisation of of thugs. Start all over with a completely different setup, preferably something that is non-partisan and only seeks to uphold the law and true justice.

  11. I think their trying to start the civil war,with this kind of unbelievable overreach.Prepare for the new hidenbidens lawless, banana republic, that we must take back in the mid=terms, and bring to justice the corruption.

All the propaganda and censorship of the comments section which is why the comments are skewed against trump so much and this is uncivil.

    DAILY NEWS – AUGUST 11, 2022he you are here chart as it tells where we are in history and where we will be going if we are not careful.

  13. Oh ya, my sisters college roomate’s mother-in-law’s brother’s next door neighbor who helps mow the fairways told the FBI about Trump’s secret files.

  14. yet ANOTHER anonymous source??? We know where that has taken us lately. Into a ton of accusations with no substance. The weasel said NOTHING in his 5 minute “explanation” of govt activities yesterday.

  15. So this informant told them what and where. Why the hell did they need 9+ hours with 30+ agents and DOJ LIARS (Lawyers) to go and get something that they knew WHAT and Where to get. This DOJ needs to be dissolved all together. The lie gets bigger and worse with each passing day. God help us all.

  16. Well looks like the blowback for the demonRats and rinos
    ziden and adm are giving us the ultimatum
    we will get up in large numbers to create a huge red tsunami that it will make those who hate us so much
    CROAK!!!!

  17. I’m truly getting tired of the tactics used by the left to force the public to accept their flawed vision for the future of America. Before you know it, you’ll have to do an investigation to make sure that your friends and/or acquaintances aren’t paid informants hired by the government to dig up dirt on you, just in case they need to make a few “examples”. Very soon now we’ll all be judged by standards set by people that are mostly appointed by people we wouldn’t vote for in a million years 😉

  18. DOJ should have appointed a Special Master for the investigation. NO reason the DOJ director should be inbolved in it.

  19. No matter what political party you associate yourself with: This type of search must not be allowed to continue. Warning: If it continues to happen, You could be next.

  20. The F B I Fn Ba s t a rds Inc. are out of control thugs that have chosen to be America destroyers !!!!! They need to identified and all put on a list!

  21. Finding that safe empty, FBI probably felt like Geraldo when he opened Al Capone‘s vault. Zip, zero, nada! Goose egg! A vacuum. Jack booted losers.
    So how did this “informant” know of all those different locations? Sounds like someone planted them there.

  22. Garland you suck, Wray you suck, the DOJ sucks , the FBI sucks, and pretty much everyone associated with the democrat commie Marxist party, you’re all a cancer on America, and for those who vote and give power to the criminal regime, you’re disgusting too!

  23. FBI makes up alleged informants all the time. Unless an informant can be actually named in an Affidavit, he/she should be considered a fictitious character and not be allowed to support a warrant – which was obviously bogus in this case. Everyone who signed off on it from DOJ, to FBI, to the idiot magistrate judge must be held accountable.

  24. As a former law enforcement officer saw how detectives could make up confidential informs out of thin air. The court needs to know, by name, the informer’s identity to cross check law enforcement’s veracity if questioned by the defendant. This can be done in camera by the judge. Far too much abuse it committed by law enforcement under the CI ( confidential informant) label.

  25. The FBI is a totally corrupt organization all the way from the top to the bottom. It has now been fully weaponzied as Dem communist political weapon.

  26. I’d like to hear the name of the so-called “informant!” I doubt they had one. We all know they lie as much as old Brandon.
    F**k Joe Biden and his whole Communist Criminal family!!

  27. I suspect that confidential informant is a Trump employee feeding the FBI false information at the direction of Trump himself and the FBI fell for it, hook, line and sinker.
