A strong ally of 45th President Donald Trump believes that the Department of Justice authorized the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and resort in a bid to protect former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton from further scrutiny.
Trump ally Kash Patel, who is now the lead investigator on the House committee investigating the origins of the Trump Russia hoax, made the remarks on Fox News and on his Truth Social account. Per PJ Media, Patel seems to believe that the FBI confiscated previously declassified documents that related to Clinton’s participation in the Russia hoax that dogged Trump during the first two years of his presidency.
“The President of the Untied States is, and has always been, the ultimate unilateral classification authority,” said Patel. “He issued a strong statement in October 2020 declassifying all Russiagate and all Hillary Clinton documents, and that’s publicly available.”

On his Truth Social account, Patel further advanced the idea that the documents seized by the FBI were related to Clinton and her part in creating the Russia hoax.
“DOJ and FBI — and the vindictive librarians at NARA — continue to perpetuate the Russia hoax by ‘seizing’ documents that President Trump declassified,” wrote Patel. “Remember: the government allowed Hillary’s lawyer to keep emails from her private server in her broom closet, that were classified up to Top Secret/Special Access Program, IN HER OFFICE. Why wasn’t she raided?”

He concluded, “Bottom line – they never want you to see their corrupt Russia Gate documents and will use any and all power to keep them from the American people.”
Some pundits have noted that, should the FBI have taken documents related to Clinton and Russia Gate, this could cripple Trump’s civil lawsuit against Clinton over the same topic.
Strangely, the judge who approved the FBI raid on Trump’s home – Jeffrey Epstein-connected judge Bruce Reinhart – was apparently assigned to Trump’s suit against Clinton. He recused himself from the case after the FBI raid was conducted.

Perhaps Biden is delusional or suffering from dementia. However, the nuclear codes are controlled by the DOD and wouldn’t be left with a president without a military EAO present, OR EVER LEFT with a former president.
By the way, the day Biden was inaugurated the “football” was changed.

The FBI and DOJ need to be cleaned out, and that is what they are afraid of. They are protecting their own criminal enterprises

The FBI needs to b do defunded totally. The states can do what they do. And we don’t need 87,000 new IRS agents. We need 80,000 new border patrol agents. To the IRS and FBI we are the target. The border patrol protects us

Nuclear secrets? C’mon. This is not 1953. College physics freshmen know all about nuclear fission and fusion. I know that Professor George Kistiakovsy invented the spherical explosive frame to detonate nuclear weapons.
And I am only a doctor. Not even a physicist. There are tens of thousands of armed nuclear weapons all over the World. (Not that I celebrate that.)
They are all over. Nuclear secrets? Don’t make me laugh.
