Monday 5 September 2022 11:10 PM Trump says he should be reinstated as President trends now
Former President Donald Trump tore into the Justice Department once again Monday after a judge ruled in his favor in his bid to sort through the fruits of the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search – then said the agency to 'change the results' of the 2000 election.
Trump fired off the missive on his Truth Social web site hours after a judge he appointed in 2000 ruled partially in his favor in his bid for a 'special master' to review documents the FBI seized in a search of his Florida home.
The ruling, in addition to opening the door to Trump getting some documents returned or taken away from government use, has the effect of stalling an investigation of potential mishandling or removal of classified government documents.
Trump jumped onto the offensive Monday, once again ripping law enforcement, in a possible allusion to the FBI's handling of information about Hunter Biden's laptop.
'Now that the FBI and DOJ have been caught in a massive and determinative Election Rigging Scam, are they going to change the results of the 2020 Presidential Election? They should!!!' Trump wrote.
The comment doubled down on a post Trump wrote for last week after Big Tech firms downgraded a story about Hunter Biden's laptop in a way that limited its prominence.
Former President Donald Trump has called for the Justice Department and FBI to 'change the results of the 2020 Presidential Election.' A judge has granted Donald Trump's request to have a special master review the documents seized during the raid on Mar-a-Lago
'FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that, if they didn't, 'Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election.' This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country,' Trump wrote.
'REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!'
He tore into the bureau once again by reposting a user who wrote that the 'FBI Raided Barron's Room' ... But Never Raided Hunter's.'
Trump agreed to the sentiment, writing: 'That’s right!!!'
Trump's Monday missive also came after President Joe Biden once again tore into 'extremist' members of the MAGA movement and 'Trumpies' generally.
Trump claimed the Justice Department was 'caught in a massive and determinative Election Rigging Scam,' and said it should 'change the results' of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden
Trump has been hammering the FBI since the raid at Mar-a-Lago last month
'Are we going to build a future or are we doing to obsess about the past?' Biden said at a Labor Day event in Milwaukee.
The New York Post reported Monday on Timothy Thibault, the FBI agent who resigned last week after getting hit by Republicans for his handling of the Hunter Biden probe. The article said sources identified Thibault as the 'point man' for former Hunter business partner Tony Bobulinski, who attended the final 2020 presidential debate at Trump's invitation.
Trump's return to an election redo, for which there is no provision in the Constitution, came after a federal judge in Florida has granted Donald Trump's request to have a special master review the documents seized during the raid on Mar-a-Lago – granting a key demand of the former president and tapping the breaks on the government's investigation.
Judge Aileen Cannon approved Trump's motion to appoint a special master 'to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney client and/or executive privilege.'
The Trump-appointed judge also 'temporarily enjoins' the government from 'reviewing and using the seized materials' pending the completion of the review.
That grants Trump and his legal team a side benefit of stalling the fast-moving proceedings that have unfolded since the August 8 FBI search of Mar-a-Lago. Any potential appeal by the government could slow down proceedings even further.
Judge Cannon issued the order in a ruling on Labor Day, after surprising some legal observers with a ruling last Saturday that revealed her
