Joe Scarborough Wants Trump to Release the FBI Search Warrant for Mar-a-Lago Himself: ‘Stop the Scam, Stop the Grift’ (Video)

Donald Trump got exactly what he was demanding, as usual — the Justice Department on Friday released to the public the affidavit used to get the warrant to raid Mar-A-Lago.

the affidavit in support of a search conducted Aug. 8 at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, showing that after classified documents were found in boxes he handed over voluntarily, the Justice Department suspected there were more at his Florida residence.The DOJ was unsuccessful in keeping the document under seal, but a federal judge allowed the department to heavily redact its contents to protect the identities of agents and potential witnesses.New details from the affidavit were scant.

A judge on Thursday ordered the release of a redacted version of the FBI affidavit used to justify the Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property, in which FBI agents retrieved 11 sets of classified documents.

her concession speech, Cheney reminded her supporters that she was fully aware of the political risk she took for her career by not supporting Trump and his 2020 election lies, but that she simply couldn’t compromise herself to do so. “No house seat, no office in this land, is more important than the principles we’ve all sworn to protect,” she said.Elsewhere in her speech, Cheney offered harsh criticisms for continued Trump supporters, and worried for the party as a whole. And to that, Scarborough readily agreed.“If somebody listening to that speech – and listen to those words – thinks that Liz Cheney is being melodramatic, well, they aren’t having the conversations I’m having with friends and family members and people who used to be in Liz Cheney’s party and mine.

retrieved classified documents from his Mar-a-Lago estate.During an appearance on CNN, host Don Lemon quoted Cohen as previously saying that “with the walls closing in around [Trump], his next move is to find a scapegoat.” Asked to elaborate on what he meant, Cohen was happy to oblige.“I believe the next scapegoat is going to be Rudy-Colludi Giuliani,” the attorney said. “Everybody likes a bargain, but Donald Trump really likes a bargain, and I believe that Rudy is like a BOGO — buy one get one half-off.”Cohen added that he thinks Trump and his allies are prepared to “throw [Giuliani] under the bus” for both the FBI’s investigation of the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and the current investigation in Georgia related to whether or not the former president violated the law in an effort to flip the 2020 election results.“They’re just gonna keep pointing the finger,” Cohen said.Lemon and Cohen also discussed the number of excuses that Trump has given so far for the documents at Mar-a-Lago.

Donald Trump wants the world to know why FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago — and now it sounds like he’s going to get EXACTLY that!

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough sees the violence that erupted at the FBI’s Cincinnati office Thursday as an event cut from the same cloth as the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The FBI descending on former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property, searching it and removing at least a dozen boxes on Monday, continued to fascinate “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert during his second-to-last show of the week.On Thursday, Colbert once again dove into the topic that has been featured in at least three of his monologues so far.“As we continue to learn more details about the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago earlier this week, it does not look good for former president Velveeta Voldemort,” Colbert said, opening his show with his latest nickname for Trump.“The former president and his minions have tried to play the victim card here saying, ‘Why he’s just a simple country club owner, and that this whole investigation is a nothing burger,’” Colbert said, doing a slightly Southern accent. “But it’s beginning to look like the investigation is a ‘Something Royale with Cheese.’ Now I’m not gonna get my hopes up.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough is pretty curious about Donald Trump’s mob connections after the former president said in 2016 that only “the mob takes the fifth” – then proceeded to plead the fifth more than 400 times in a deposition this week.In a scheduled deposition in New York on Wednesday – pertaining to a different investigation than the one that led to a raid of Mar-a-lago this week – the twice-impeached former president invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and declined to answer any questions from the state’s attorney general.Though the Fifth Amendment is a right anyone can invoke so as not to self-incriminate themselves or incriminate loved ones, Trump’s decision to do so met heated backlash, considering his past thoughts on the practice. Pulling up the receipts, “Morning Joe” showed several of those moments in which Trump expressed distaste for the amendment.“You sit there Mika and you listen to it, and he goes ‘Fifth Amendment, fifth –’, you know, what’s he doing? Well obviously, he was practicing!” Scarborough said after the footage.As co-host Mika Brzezinski continued to contextualize the footage, she noted that Trump pleaded the fifth more than 400 times during that deposition, leading to a gobsmacked Scarborough.

You know how mobsters talk about the FBI in movies and TV shows? How it’s always, “They’re persecuting us” and “It’s all a conspiracy” and just so indignant?
