Dear Brother Paul,
Actually the President is the ultimate/final classification authority. If he says they are not classified, then they aren't. Anybody else must do the required forms requirement prior to making that type of determination, not so the President. Of course, follow-up paperwork to that affect must be done, but I don't know what the timeline for that is, but it doesn't have to be done prior to the President making the determination (verbal) is fine.
Oh, by the way, they (DJT) were polite in the asking??? You know this how??? LOL You critique and call people "brainwashed" who don't trust the Federal Government??? Mayhap, some are too trusting???
Now, I won't accuse the FBI of being the initiator of this search, but rather the DOJ since they had to sign off on the warrant. Plus, I don't see why it was done now, because if it was so expedient due to National Security, then why did the Director of the DOJ sit on approving the warrant for near enough 3 weeks??? Logic tells you if it's that necessary, then it would have been approved immediately and not held on to for weeks. Even the most accepting/approving of the Governments actions should be asking themselves this question.
No one "Took" his passports??? Oh, they magically appeared in one of the boxes they took with them!!! Which means that they were slipshod in what they took, and probably didn't follow what was on the warrant if they were just filling up boxes with whatever they could find. Also, since they were there for over 9 hours, there should have been no excuse for this!!! They had enough time to search catalogue and remove what was covered by the warrant, leaving everything else alone and in its place. However, this does bring into question the possibility of them taking documents that they shouldn't have, and that were not covered by the warrant. Keep in mind that a warrant cannot be general, but must outline specifically what they are looking for, and nothing else. Otherwise, the 4th Amendment becomes invalidated and guess what? Not that I figure you have anything to hide, but you're next!!!! Oh, like in Houston TX, where a few years ago, the Mayor of the City (Lesbian by the way) tried to order Preachers to provide the notes and their Sermons to her office for review!!!! Didn't happen, but it could have easily happened, and any bets they would have been prosecuted for hate crimes if they were preaching against alternate lifestyles??? Anyway, that is water under the bridge.
Now back to the Presidents search...Now is it possible other documents/items that shouldn't have been taken i.e. Attorney Client privilege documents were also taken??? Not beyond the pale, and some have stated that this did happen. Maybe, maybe not, but if so...being "brainwashed"
one might have me thinking this was not the most organized operation and could have broken the law by not adhering to the 4th Amendment requirements. However, the trusting souls out there, won't have a problem with that happening I guess...
So, by your own determination here, the lies of Russian Collusion, failed impeachments (2), not to even count the unified media 4th Estate, singing the same song, amongst other things are clearly evidence of a conspiracy against the Presidency!!! Won't you agree??? Something tells me you won't! LOL
Now, you're associating the Nazi's to Trump, and those others you mentioned, would then be similar to associating the current state of affairs to what has happened in Venezuela, Communists, Antifa, Anti-Constitutionalist, along with left loonies and like countries...right???
Yes, I'm pulling your chain, because clearly you have chosen one side of this discussion over another, and are attributing mind reading as a requirement for determining the actions of another for why it is happening i.e. "
Any brother or sister with eyes to see and ears to hear saw early on that he had a plan." (He being of course the President.)
I see both sides and can argue both sides!!!! It just bothers me to see that Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus, and this includes both sides of this discussion, denigrating each others mental faculties when neither side really knows, but only Heavenly Authority actually knows the complete right/wrong of this.
My thoughts are that this was probably a fishing expedition to see if they could find something else to accuse the Former President of, like the 4 years he was in office. Meaning, throw as much stuff at him, just to see if something will stick!!! If those in the government only gave the same attention to other criminal activity done by the current President's family, I'd be less inclined to believe that it's not just TDS, and a sincere desire on their parts to make sure the Former President does not, cannot run for President again in 2024.
Do I really need to address the bias and wrongness of your above comments??? I hope you read your own words with discernment and realize what you are accusing brethren of, could easily be said of you if someone were so inclined to do so!!!
Oh, by the way, besides our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Who do you know that is perfect and is in the government or has ever been president that you seem to hold the former president behavior up against???
You rail against the former President, and I would ask you one important question that I hope will put it in perspective. I mean besides the fact that this is not our Home!!!
Who gave the Former President Trump and the current President, Biden their authority?
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. Romans 13:1-2 NKJV
One final point that you might have your eyes opened as well brother!
In this country and others even the Former President, Trump, is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and not the law of public opinion which is what you are arguing! Because you can't show me where he has been taken to court and been allowed to defend himself! If you're unwilling to give this to even a person you clearly dislike, then no one, even one cherished as you are, have that right either!!! One scary thought in these days for a believer!!!
Thankfully, though truth be told we have all fallen short of the Glory of God, Jesus' Sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection has Saved us in Him from the Sin that clearly, we were guilty of!!!
I hope you don't think too harshly of me for what I have written here. It was not intended to give you angst in anyway. The World is darkening, and instead of contributing to it by taking sides, we should be bringing the light which in Christ Jesus can and one day will light the World!
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
