A public policy analyst argues if U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland wants to bolster public confidence related to the FBI raid last week on Donald Trump’s Florida home, he should release the affidavit related to the order.
On Friday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart – the same judge who signed off on the search warrant – unsealed that warrant and the property receipt at the request of the Justice Department after both Garland and Trump encouraged their release. Thus far, however, the Biden Justice Department has refused to release the affidavit related to the Mar-A-Lago raid. While Trump has called for the release of the unredacted affidavit in the interest of transparency, the government argues that making the affidavit public would “cause significant and irreparable damage to this ongoing criminal investigation.”
Abraham Hamilton III is General Counsel and public policy analyst for American Family Association. During his program Monday on American Family Radio, Hamilton weighed in on the controversy.
“I want to see the affidavit – that’s what I want to see. And I think the American public should see the affidavit,” stated the former assistant DA. “I saw something that [implied government officials] don’t want to release the affidavit because it could chill the future cooperation of other witnesses.”

Which prompted questions that Hamilton – if given the chance – would ask: “So, are [witnesses] named in the affidavit? Are you incapable of redacting their name from the affidavit? Or is something else going on?”
He then pursued further the potential impact of a released affidavit:
“If it is determined that the search warrant was secured under false pretenses; and if the warrant ends up being tossed because Judge Reinhart wasn’t given all of the information – then none of this stuff secured from the warrant is going to be usable in a criminal prosecution. Which then raises the question: if you have evidence that you cannot use at trial, was the purpose to truly have a criminal investigation? Or are you using criminal processes simply to accomplish a political objective?”
Political motivation? Possibly
Some Republicans and other conservative voices believe the raid on the former president’s residence was an attempt to find evidence useful in labeling Trump an “insurrectionist” or attaching some sort of criminal charge to him so that he would be ineligible to run for president again in 2024.
That likely refers to a separate section of the U.S. Constitution that bans federal office holders who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” – a condition added after the Civil War. But PolitiFact argues it would be “a long shot” to use that to keep today’s candidates off the ballot. J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department attorney, agrees.
“That statute is not constitutional,” says Adams, who is founder and president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. “The Congress can’t set the rules of who can run for president; the Constitution does. So that’s not an issue – because that statute is not constitutional.”
Adams, however, tells AFN he’s sure of one thing when it comes political motivation: “There is all out assault on Donald Trump, and there’s a lot of questions [surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid]. I just don’t know the answer, but I can tell you that they’re bound and determined to get him.”
Voter motivation? Without a doubt
A Messianic Jewish leader says Americans are witnessing a lawless Biden administration that is acting like one of the most notorious organizations in world history.
In the wake of the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida, a poll taken by the Trafalgar Group shows that a whopping 84% of Republican voters – and 72% of independents – are more likely to vote in the midterms than they were before the raid. Many Americans are concerned that the United States has devolved into a Third World nation or a banana republic.
Jan Markell is founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries. During a recent broadcast on American Family Radio, she said the world is witnessing the weaponization of government for power.
“The [Biden] administration is acting – if I can be so blunt – like the Gestapo. They are as lawless as any street thug conducting a smash-and-grab operation,” Markell shared.
“What we saw go down in Mar-a-Lago – the raiding of a former president’s personal home by the very administration that feels politically threatened by the former president – is but one more confirmation that we no longer live in a free republic.”
Instead, said the radio host, America appears to be quickly becoming “a police state or a banana republic.”

Amendment 4 – Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, HOUSES, PAPERS, and EFFECTS, against UNREASNABLE searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Sans a revealing affidavit describing the places to be searched and the things to be seized,,,the Constitutional offenders MUST be arrested and imprisoned up to and including that Supreme Court Nomination bullet THE PEOPLE Dodged, before it finally got lodged in Trump’s head. No marvel how it Just goes to show you how deceiving sinister dark Angels like Garland and Wray can transform themselves into political government angels of light, all the while clinging to the darknestt they seek to promote to their own self and party interests.
These emboldened enemies of THE PEOPLE disguised as Democrats are flirting with their own self-destruction awaiting a few more unconstitutional criminal happenings.
garland doesn’t give a flying rats behind, what WE the people want..
These Classified and Confidential papered confused Biden Snopes, promoting the validity of Trump Presidential rumors, myths & urban legends have some strange ideas of the definitions of Classified and Confidential. Just the other day Joe asked Hunter if he knew what the definition of Confidential was? “Well dad, it’s difficult to explain but let me give you an example. I am your son, I am confident of that. See that Little boy over there by that hot woman that I walked in with, He is my son, but that’s confidential, especially right before elections.” Which is the way the whole executive branch of government now operates these days since the Bidens took over, most every thing they do is illigitimate.

This pretty much sums up this treasonous, socialist Democrat Party and their corrupt, obedient puppet president Joe Biden and his dishonorable, unethical administration.
They also took his passports but I didn’t see that listed on the papers. I wonder what else they took that they didn’t write down ??
Who can say..
