Jonathan Turley has some thoughts on the DOJ's 'selectively leaked' info about the FBI raid on Trump's home

A federal judge in Florida tomorrow will hold a hearing about former President Trump’s request to unseal the affidavit the DOJ/FBI used to justify a search of his home at Mar-a-Lago, and Merrick Garland’s Justice Department opposes the move for possible reasons we’ll get to in a second:

The Department of Justice is arguing against unsealing the document for fear it could compromise an “ongoing criminal investigation” involving national security, while Trump and his Republican allies are calling the unprecedented search a major instance of government overreach and demanding the justification be made public. Several media companies, meanwhile, have urged the document be disclosed because of the public’s “clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred in these circumstances.”

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley has a good thread today that basically says the Biden DOJ doesn’t want the affidavit made public because they’re having a good time controlling the narrative through leaks to the media that’s more than happy to pass along what they’re being fed without question:

A little like how some in the media were told Trump’s passports weren’t confiscated during the raid when in fact they were (and then returned)?

If anything Garland’s actions have had “politically motivated” written all over them.

That’s no doubt what the Biden DOJ wants — speculation. They know the media will be more than happy to oblige.

That would appear to be the goal from the Biden DOJ end of things.
