On Sunday, Just the News<\/a> posted an article regarding a recently uncovered memo about the raid on Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A top Biden Justice Department official and key ally of then-Attorney General Merrick Garland raised legal \u201cconcerns\u201d about the FBI’s raid on Mar-Lago, warning that then-former President Donald Trump may have actually declassified the records seized by agents, a newly-unearthed email obtained by\u00a0Just the News<\/em> shows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patty Stemler, a decades-long DOJ veteran who was\u00a0reportedly<\/a> picked by Garland in 2022 to help consult on Trump-related cases, sent an email just two days after the bureau\u2019s Aug. 8, 2022 raid of Trump\u2019s Florida resort home, where Stemler said she had \u201ca few concerns.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stemler sent the email to Sophia Brill, a future Biden White House<\/a> lawyer and then an attorney inside DOJ\u2019s National Security Division, which played a central role in this anti-Trump inquiry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The memo was recently discovered by the Justice Department as part of its investigation into the weaponization of federal law enforcement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know about this search in advance, but I have been worrying about it ever since and worrying more now,\u201d Stemler wrote to Brill on Aug. 10, 2022. \u201cDoesn\u2019t Trump maintain that he had the authority to declassify documents while he was still President?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Has anyone in NSD or OLC [Office of Legal Counsel] looked at that? I know we have procedures for declassifying, but is the President as Commander in Chief bound by those procedures? We also have procedures for granting pardons, but the President doesn\u2019t have to follow them,” she added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Trump claimed that he had declassified the documents. The argument is about whether or not he had the power to do that. At any rate, those conducting the search should have had a detailed warrant as to what they were looking for and where they were authorized to look. Looking for classified documents in Barron Trump’s room or Melania’s private spaces was harassment–not a search covered by a warrant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
