Lack of Probable Cause
Internal FBI emails reportedly show that agents, particularly from the Washington Field Office, did not believe they had sufficient evidence to justify a search warrant.
Agents suggested alternative approaches, such as negotiating with Trump’s attorneys, rather than conducting a raid.


DOJ Pressure and Decision
Despite internal resistance, DOJ leadership pushed forward. Attorney General Merrick Garland is quoted as saying he personally approved the decision to seek a warrant.
DOJ officials allegedly dismissed concerns about optics and insisted on moving ahead.


Evidence Handling and Alleged Misconduct
Classified documents shown in widely circulated photos were staged by the FBI.
Prosecutor Jack Smith allegedly admitted in court that evidence was mishandled and misrepresented, breaking the chain of custody.


Political Motivation
The raid aimed to prevent Trump from returning to the White House.
It draws parallels to the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation during the Obama administration, suggesting a pattern of politically driven actions.


Internal Communications
Multiple email excerpts highlight:

Concerns about insufficient corroborated evidence.
Frustration over repeated drafts of affidavits without new facts.
Warnings that a raid would be “counterproductive” and harm optics.
DOJ officials allegedly stating they “don’t give a damn” about optics.


Accountability Questions
A call for accountability is needed, the DOJ and FBI actions were improper and politically motivated.
