Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba sandblasted the Department of Justice [DOJ] for rolling forward with their unjust raid on Trump’s Florida home. Habba also noted that the raid was a complete waste of time and strictly for theatrical purposes, a fact that even liberal news agencies couldn’t help but notice.
Habba wen off, “I don’t think that they did get him on any legal issue here. And that was the headline on the Wall Street Journal yesterday, which was dead on accurate. You have to have a legal basis. This is not theatrics. This is our country. This is the Constitution. So what we saw was the trail, as in with the Mueller report that you just discussed, that is that they’re hiding DOJ memos.”
…
“They like to conceal them,” Habba continued adding, “they like to redact them. And then when push comes to shove, they pretend that they’re doing us a favor when it’s not a favor, it’s his constitutional right to say that these documents are declassified. He has that right. He doesn’t need to ask anybody else. So what is the basis? He was cooperating.”
Trump and his legal team filed a motion Monday evening seeking an independent review of the records seized by the FBI during its “unprecedented” and “unnecessary” raid of Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, saying the decision to search his private residence just months before the 2022 midterm elections “involved political calculations aimed at diminishing the leading voice in the Republican Party, President Trump.”
Watch
In his statement, Trump said he had co-operated with all relevant government agencies and so the “unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate”.
“Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World countries,” he said. “Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.”
