Republicans stepped up calls on Sunday for the release of an FBI affidavit.

A search warrant released last week after the unprecedented search showed that Trump had 11 sets of classified documents at his home, and that the Justice Department had probable cause to conduct the search based on possible Espionage Act violations.

“The Justice Department should “show that this was not just a fishing expedition, that they had due cause to go in and to do this, that they did exhaust all other means,” Rounds said. “And if they can’t do that, then we’ve got a serious problem on our hands.” The calls from Republicans came amid reports https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mar-a-lago-search-fbi-threat-law-enforcement that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security warned of increased threats to law enforcement emanating from social media platforms in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago search.Article content

He told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the search of Trump’s home “was an unprecedented action that needs to be supported by unprecedented justification” and the probable-cause affidavit would show whether that standard was reached — even if it was only shown to lawmakers in a classified briefing.Article content

Republicans push to see affidavit that justified FBI search of Trump's homeRepublicans stepped up calls on Sunday for the release of an FBI affidavit. Plenty of Republicans souls will be vouching for Trump at the last gate. Yes. I would too. If there were 'Nuclear Documents', why did the process take 11 days? I'll wait. The search warrant did not show probable cause for the raid at MarALargo nor did the items listed as taken which were certified by an attorney as being declassified under a standing order by President Trump prior to items being moved to MarALargo, contrary to news reports.

Republicans demand to see affidavit that justified FBI search of Trump's homeWASHINGTON — Republicans stepped up calls on Sunday for the release of an FBI affidavit showing the underlying justification for its seizure of documents at… Trumptopia going back to wanting Obamas birth certificate for Nelson ratings? Makes sense. Sorry but it doesn't work that way. Once things go to court everyone can see what is going on and evidence being presented. The Justice system isn't run by political committee - that's 3rd world shit.

It isn’t just Republicans but anyone who respects transparency. I hope everyone wants transparency, the longer this is hidden the more questions arise. Without it, all we get are CTV drones reading the pages of the Wapo.
