Garland announced today that the DOJ is filing a motion to publicly release the search warrant and property receipt for the search of Mar-a-Lago.
To be clear, Trump is within his rights to release this information himself to show that this is part of a "witch hunt" but he hasn't because he's using disinformation to rile up the cult.

“To rile up the cult” AND to keep milking them for everything they can…

AlmostCertainlyNotPickles
Trump's lawyers are capable of releasing the warrant themselves

Countdown to preemptively hearing what was "planted" in 3...2...1...

It is spelled with an N not an L "The DOJ is calling the Cu*l*t's bluff..."

Uncertainty is his ally. (Trump) the more he keeps from people the more he can build his own narrative
rubypilgrim
Anyone here know if he gets any protections by announcing he's a candidate?
BBQatCirces
No legal protections, just the worst kind of shitty political protections.

FoxNews and GOP, who demanded transparency, will now support a probable Trump motion to not release.
bekindtoanimals
Excellent!

Once again the reason they think the FBI is corrupt is because if they were in charge of the FBI they would be corrupt. They assume that>

That's exactly what you can infer from Eric Trump's comments. He inferred everything came from the White House.
SomeDetroitGuy
Yep. Heard those. He was 100% stating that it was routine for the Trump Admin to interfere in FBI investigations.
KR1570F
and now his cult is trying to wage literal violent war on the FBI. terrorists need to go to jail.
AskThisGuy
Anyone know how long this process usually takes to unseal?
ventikona
It’s not really precedented as far as I know, but CBC was saying minimum a week.
WhatDeanerWasTalkingAbout
I love that the cry has been "This is an outrage, show us the warrant!" and the response is now "LOL ok ding dongs, coming right up."
morelikeconsham
I love that the right wing has inadvertently called for Trump's privacy to be revoked.
timxedge
Hahahahaha. Ok ding dongs hahaha
takeabout10percentoff
+1 for ding dongs
thewordofthedayis
This seems like a smart way to force Trump to choose between making himself look bad or shutting the fuck up
bippityboppitybuttsex
Too late.
Billis75
He has a few days to oppose the unsealing. So we will wait to see if he actively tells the public he wants to hide this information.
PunnyTiger
it's trump; shutting the fuck up isn't an option for him. he has committed felonies, live, on national television because he can't shut up.
Dontgotolawschool
DOJ had previously asked to seal it, tho. A group filed suit, the judge ordered it unsealed, and now DOJ is acting as if it were their idea.
SomeDetroitGuy
No judge has ordered unsealed. The NY Times were going to sue but haven't. Warrants are routinely sealed to protect the suspects.

How is this not against the whole 'DOJ doesn't talk about ongoing investigations'? When we want answers as to what's going on with 1/6...
covideokilledtheradiostar
Who claimed otherwise?
BrownestofCoats
I was trying to figure out for a second how you knew you were going to need 6 posts to finish your thought.
BBQatCirces
I mean, normally it's an excellent policy to stay tight-lipped about ongoing investigations. This seems like an exception they're making 1/
BBQatCirces
specifically in response to the right-wing media machine's insistence that something was done improperly or that there was no basis for 2/
BBQatCirces
the search. 3/3
RubberMonkeys
Fair enough.
RubberMonkeys
all we get is crickets. The fright wing noise machine churns up and Garland placates it almost instantly.
ventikona
Part of the statement is that Trump has already publicly announced that the raid happened so it’s not confidential. Also, Trump’s lawyers
ventikona
Will have a chance to respond and they may choose to release it depending on what’s in it.
Onetonmanwithaspoon
For one thing there have been plenty of people claiming that the FBI didn't serve any warrants and that the search was done illegally. 1/2
Onetonmanwithaspoon
Forgot the mention that now this puts Trump's neck in a noose, so to speak. If he says yes, then it's a proven lie. If no, then everyone >
Onetonmanwithaspoon
Onetonmanwithaspoon
The second is that this was to show the country why they conducted the search. Garland is a lot smarter than people give him credit for.
sumelar
Regular updates from the committee is hardly crickets.
RubberMonkeys
What committee, the 1/6? You know that's completely separate from the DOJ.
sumelar
You know I didn't say otherwise, right?
RubberMonkeys
I was complaining about the DOJ being so tight lipped and you brought up the 1/6 Comittee which are two completely different things.
Dontgotolawschool
The magistrate judge had already ordered it unsealed and gave the DOJ 5 days to do it. DOJ isn't calling anyone's bluff here.
BBQatCirces
Wrong. And dumb.
