This saga is instructive in that it shows just how unaccountable the FBI was during this raid of Trump's home ... the Fibbies were not under observation during the search and they seized items that were NOT subject to the warrant; therefore, it is entirely conceivable that they planted incriminating items that were then "discovered" by them. And, it also shows just how desperately the lamestream media bootlickers are ready to carry water for the malfeasance of the Deep State.

1. - Norah O’Donnell reports that FBI is not in possession of passports Donald Trump said they stole during raid

Norah O'Donnell (@NorahODonnell) ~ NEW: According to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump's passports. Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports during the search of his Mar-a-Lago home.
A half-hour later, NBC News White House correspondent Kelly O’Donnell reported that, no, the passports were not in the possession of the FBI — because they’d been returned.
Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) ~ A Department of Justice official tells me passports belonging to former Pres. Trump are NOT in the possession of the FBI and have been returned.
So, Trump told the truth ... the Fibbies DID steal his passports. The FBI had to have them in their possession if they returned them, no?

2. - Pounce alert! Trump publicized FBI taking passports even ‘after DOJ offered them back’

Wendell Husebø (@WendellHusebo) ~ BREAKING: The passports were not itemized on the FBI’s property receipt of items seized. The warrant did not state the FBI could take Trump’s passport. Typically, the government needs a separate court order to seize someone’s passport, even temporarily.

Amongst all these questions about why the FBI would have taken something not listed on the warrant, Politico’s Kyle Cheney has noted that Trump made a big deal out of his passports being taken (while not even reportedly being listed among the items confiscated) by noting that the former president did so even though the DOJ offered to return them:
Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) ~ So Trump team now publicizing this email, which shows:
1) DOJ obtained three passports (two expired, not one, as Trump said) and alerted Trump lawyers
2) They were recovered by a filter team, which weeds out privileged info.
3) Trump publicized this after DOJ offered them back.
Richard Grenell explained why the Trump team published the email:
Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) ~ {Replying to @kyledcheney} Trump team published the email *to prove* that @NBCNews & @NorahODonnell were wrong – and that DOJ absolutely took (not “obtained”) the President’s passports.
And now you join the fake news crowd, too.
Kyle joins the BOOTLICKING fake news crowd.
Small Gov Lizard (@smallgovlizard) ~ The problem is never what the left did. The problem is always the right noticing what the left did.
Yep, that's how the leftist bootlickers see it, anyway.
