The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles misled the judge who signed a search warrant that led to more than $86 million in cash being seized, a report says.

The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles misled the judge who signed a search warrant that led to more than $86 million in cash being seized, theFBI agents suspected criminal activity at U.S. Private Vaults, a Beverly Hills store with more than 1,000 private safe-deposit boxes. The FBIits investigation into the business after local law enforcement and federal agents spotted suspected drug dealers and purchasers walking in and out of the store.

Despite not backing up their suspicions with any facts, the FBI agents applied for a search warrant to determine the validity of their suspicions. United States Magistrate Judge Steve Kim approved the search warrant, but explicitly limited the scope of the search. In the summer of 2020, she testified, Matthew Moon, then one of the highest-ranking FBI agents in Los Angeles, asked her if her team “was capable of handling a possible large-scale seizure” of safe-deposit boxes at U.S. Private Vaults.

“At no time was a magistrate misled as to the probable cause used to obtain the warrants,” FBI spokesperson Laura EimillerFederal prosecutors similarly claimed the FBI did not have to tell the judge “how later actions, such as criminal investigations against boxholders or forfeiture of box contents, would play out,” acceding to court filings.

Misled? Seems contagious

Scrap the FBI

Where did the money go?

where did this happen before? brownshirts in germany maybe?

Hilarious that you're upset about the government going after the super rich hiding wealth in Beverly Hills- but silent on police targeting and murdering people of color in poor communities with falsified search warrants.

FBI needs to be honest and reliable and stop with the shams. This is Gods country and he’s ready to discipline some liars in a big way

Why publish this news? It seems everything they do, is abusive.

Dirty

Breitbart. Just another far right wing propaganda site destroying America.

The 86 million will be used to fund the crooked FBI in their attacks on Americans & Patriot’s.

Trump just told us how to make Trump Kryptonite “they [FBI] took my WILL [from Maralago]. That could cause A LOT OF PROBLEMS if that gets published” *Real estate values for NY AG *info to break up family *maybe even who inhherits stolen classified docs
