The Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, head of the Department of Justice has just made that department an oxymoron. When it comes to justice, one needs to look elsewhere. The AG finally admitted in a court filing Monday that FBI agents seized documents “potentially contain[ing] attorney-client privileged information” in the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
Rather than having the walnuts to admit they grabbed attorney-client privileged information, Garland gave a half admission until the next shoe is forced to drop.

The DOJ said in the filing:
Although the government will provide the Court more detail in its forthcoming supplemental filing, the government notes that, before the Court issued its Preliminary Order, and in accordance with the judicially authorized search warrant’s provisions, the [FBI] Privilege Review Team … identified a limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information, completed its review of those materials, and is in the process of following the procedures set forth in paragraph 84 of the search warrant affidavit to address potential privilege disputes, if any.On Saturday, Judge Cannon issued an order giving the Justice Department until Tuesday to produce a more detailed list of items seized at Mar-a-Lago, as well as the proceedings of the Department of Justice’s “filter team” that is going through all of Trump’s documents. The DOJ also said on Monday it will comply with Cannon’s request and file the documents under seal by Tuesday.
Trump filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida after the raid, in which he stated that his Fourth Amendment rights had been violated--you know, the unlawful search and seizure thingy--in which the seizure of some documents, including two of his passports, "helped" Merrick Garland & Cronies realize they screwed up and better fess up now rather than try blowing smoke where the sun don't shine and obfuscating what they did.
In the lawsuit, Trump’s lawyers said the Mar-a-Lago raid was likely motivated more by politics than the rule of law. “[T]he Government has failed to legitimize its historic decision,” the suit claims while adding that Merrick Garland took the “unheard-of step” of holding a press conference over the raid and agreeing to release part of the search warrant application.
Imagine if Garland ever got to land on the Supreme Court.
On Thursday, Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered that a redacted version of the affidavit that led to the execution of a search warrant on Mar-A-Lago be released (last) Friday morning. When the heavily redacted affidavit was released as ordered, the FBI was absolutely crushed on social media, which included charges of “grave travesty” and “no reason for [the] raid.”

But the redactions were so copious that it led to a shortage of black ink across the country.
Meanwhile, Garland et al., have their walnuts in a vice and it's slowly closing in on them. This should be very interesting in spite of the incredible levels of corruption in government that suggests these scumwafers may get away with their disgusting behavior.

You may or may not like Donald Trump, but what the left has tried to do to him makes America look like a banana republic.
