Within hours, he says. Monday at the latest. They’re going to attack the warrant on Fourth Amendment grounds.
Get ready for the fireworks, because they are going to be huge. When the Trump team challenges the FBI’s illegal raid and seizures at Mar-a-Lago, which was executed under the express vendetta-driven direction of Merrick Garland and, of course, the White House, even though they pretend otherwise, the media is going to lose their minds.
Jim Trusty spoke with Mark Levin on Friday and explained what’s about to happen. He’s an attorney with Trump’s legal team and he’s a former federal prosecutor himself, so he knows whereof he speaks on what they are up to and what is motivating them, and what they’re doing WRONG.
“Coming soon, it should be something that gets publicly filed so that the whole United States will get to read this thing. And I think that’s important to the president, and he’s been very transparent through this whole process. And as you can imagine, Mark, because I know your chops, I know your background in terms of just incredible legal knowledge. This is going to be Fourth Amendment-based. You know, the litigation before Judge Reinhart is all about First Amendment, frankly, media versus DOJ. But we’re going to weigh in very strong and very hard on behalf of the president who never should have been subjected to the search warrant. And we’re going to be attacking that search warrant.”
LISTEN:
LEVIN: When do you expect to file this?
TRUSTY: I guess I’ll leave myself the possibility of Monday, but I would think it’s probably going to be more like hours. It’s coming very soon.
LEVIN: And it relates to, I mean, the Fourth Amendment, that search was what we call The kind of search they used to do under general warrants. Correct?
TRUSTY: Yeah. I mean, that’s one of the aspects of this that they we’ll pay some attention to, which is the idea that it’s over-broad. You know, the Fourth Amendment requires particularity. It requires narrowness to the intrusion on the person’s home. And this warrant had language in it — And keep in mind, all we’ve seen is a warrant and an inventory — But the warrant has language in it about if you find a classified document, you can take the whole box around it and you can take any boxes near it. And that’s really the functional equivalent of a general search. There’s just no limit to that kind of scope in the warrant.
I can hardly wait. And they won’t be playing softball.
“We’re going to come out swinging,” said Trusty. They will tell the court that “this cannot be something where we just get a kind of a wink and a nod from DOJ that we’re supposed to trust them under these circumstances.”
“We’re going to have to get court involved, judicial intervention at the district court level to get somebody in the mix here that can help us vindicate the Fourth Amendment rights of the president,” he said.
CANNOT. WAIT.
