Merrick Garland’s top advisor fired off a warning to administration lawyers after Biden’s FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022.

Patty Stemler, a longtime DOJ official chosen by Merrick Garland to consult on lawfare cases against Trump, fired off an email warning about the legal issues arising from the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

The FBI found no probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, but Biden’s DOJ sent machine-gun-toting agents to Trump’s Florida home anyway.

Biden’s FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump’s Florida estate.

More than 3 dozen machine-gun-toting agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and by November, Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence.

The raid came after the National Archives (NARA) visited Mar-a-Lago in early 2022 and demanded documents from Trump.

Court documents revealed that Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago, which was authorized by US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Corrupt FBI agents released staged photos of the ‘classified’ documents laid out on the floor of Mar-a-Lago.

Patty Stemler warned Biden Administration lawyers that the Mar-a-Lago raid was likely illegal.

“I didn’t know about this search in advance, but I have been worrying about it ever since and worrying more now,” Patty Stemler wrote to Biden White House lawyer Sophia Brill on Aug. 10, 2022, according to a memo obtained by Just The News. “Doesn’t Trump maintain that he had the authority to declassify documents while he was still President?

“Has anyone in NSD or OLC [Office of Legal Counsel] looked at that? I know we have procedures for declassifying, but is the President as Commander in Chief bound by those procedures? We also have procedures for granting pardons, but the President doesn’t have to follow them,” she said.

Just The News reported:

A top Biden Justice Department official and key ally of then-Attorney General Merrick Garland raised legal “concerns” about the FBI’s raid on Mar-Lago, warning that then-former President Donald Trump may have actually declassified the records seized by agents, a newly-unearthed email obtained by Just the News shows.

Patty Stemler, a decades-long DOJ veteran who was reportedly picked by Garland in 2022 to help consult on Trump-related cases, sent an email just two days after the bureau’s Aug. 8, 2022 raid of Trump’s Florida resort home, where Stemler said she had “a few concerns.”

Stemler sent the email to Sophia Brill, a future Biden White House lawyer and then an attorney inside DOJ’s National Security Division, which played a central role in this anti-Trump inquiry.
