Trump Raid Redactions Real Or Ridiculous?

Splat goes DOJ’s Mar-a-Lago affidavit that’s so REDACTED WSJ asks “Is That All There Is?” Yet again, the Russia hoax managers’ 38 pages only “add to the evidence” FBI raid was really about a “dispute over documents”?

Again the editorial board asks: “THIS is why agents descended on a former President’s residence like they would a mob boss?” National security was at stake? Or, was it the FBI’s & DOJ’s security at risk, i.e., they worried the American people would see the depth of their nonsense as so many points seem to lead BACK to the agencies’ tilting at windmills during the 4-year Russia collusion hoax perpetrated against Mr. Trump, his campaign and anyone connected with him? Worries that the FBI’s & DOJ’s “important sources might be compromised” if the details were revealed? If so, are they referring in their court documents trying to justify the redactions about “important sources”? That is, the spooks that gave us the Russia conspiracy theory, which we now know leads back to Hillary Clinton, the DNC and their assorted spin doctors?

Of course, Mr. Trump and his advisors can be stubborn. Pains in the a** even. As the WSJ notes, they may have again “frustrated” the FBI & DOJ by pulling their chains over these “20 boxes of documents”. Yet, what all normal investigators would have done is GO TO THE “DISTRICT COURT & GET AN ORDER FOR THE PROPER HANDLING & STORAGE OF THE DOCS.” But, no. They triggered an historical “political firestorm” in which under the worst-case scenario it is still “hard to believe that a dispute over documents would yield a criminal indictment” or even “probable cause” to resort to an pre-dawn raid on a president’s home. AG Garland? Joe? Ya can't just hide behind a black line in the sand, er, documents.
