"Just One More Thing"

 “Just One More Thing”

Al Ritter


Just as the person was walking away Columbo got his best information with one phrase, “Just One More Thing.” Of course it was just a TV show and the writers seemed to have the most fun with that line.

But this idea has to do logical thinking and its end result. You eliminate lots of useless information and replace it with pertinent information.

Such is the case of the raid on Mar-a-Lago. There is plenty of useless information or shall we say purposely misleading information. The original claim was that a “FBI Informant” had made a claim that Trump was holding classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago safe. Even some people in Trump’s inner circle have said they never even knew he had a safe in his Mar-a-Lago home. One of his inner circle said that it had to be someone very close to have reported it, maybe as few as three people.

Another question arises, why didn't the FBI agent that visited Mar-a-Lago in June and recommended that another lock be installed on the door to the room, take those documents then with a subpoena? Why didn't the FBI take all the documents while retrieving the fifteen boxes in January? If these documents are so borderline to Espionage why has it taken 19 months to get them back? Many questions but few answers from the DOJ and FBI.

Ok we have a situation where this so called informant’s information was used solely to obtain a warrant? Does that make sense? Don’t you think that information would have to be corroborated with a second source before the warrant was issued? Otherwise anybody could make a claim about someone else and have a warrant executed?

Now let’s dissect the actual raid. It was done while Trump was in NY, do you think that was by accident? Who knows the President’s travel plans exclusively? Who knows every inch of Mar-a-Lago? Who knew where the safe was?

Now we find out that of the 30 FBI agents in the raid a few are targets of the Durham Investigation. Why were they included in the raid from the Washington Office? Update: Now we find out that the warrant wasn't just limited to the documents but anything that constitutes a crime was fair game, can we say "fishing expedition?" How can ANY warrant include everything it was always about a specific crime being committed that enabled "probable cause"

Merrick Garland is fighting to keep the details of the warrant sealed, but he did leak something about the raid in some very tricky wording. He claimed it wasn’t merely an archival disagreement, but rather a violation of the Espionage Act. Wow, that sure sounds like he’s accusing Trump of Espionage without actually charging him with it.

Now in my best Columbo voice I have to say one more thing about the issuance of the warrant and who the actual informant may be…..”Just One More Thing, Mr. Garland.”

Who has unlimited access to the home in Mar-a-Lago and who has unlimited knowledge of Trump’s travel plans. Maybe the very people charged with his protection? I see a lightbulb came on there. Whose word might the Judge take as gospel to obtain a warrant?

Maybe the Secret Service isn’t so secret anymore, it's not like they don't have their own sorted history of bad behavior. Just my opinion.

Wow, I never thought of it that way, but you might be onto something here.

With all this information coming out now, I'd tend to believe this case would be torn apart in court, unless of course it's a tainted court such as the first Durham trial in Washington DC, where we saw a certainly corrupted court

I lost all respect for Bongino after the Parler debacle. Let the chips fall where they may.
