It looks like even agents within the FBI had problems with the witch hunt raid conducted against President Trump at Mar-A-Lago.
Newly surfaced documents, first obtained via a FOIA request, have revealed that there was a significant level of dissent among FBI agents regarding the raid.
The documents were from an FBI division known as the Office of the Ombudsman, an organization within the FBI for anonymous comments and complaints.
One agent asked “Am I dreaming?” and then proceeded to slam the FBI leadership as being full of partisan Democrat hacks—I couldn’t agree more.
Jason Leopold, who first obtained the documents, presented the revealing memos on social media:
SCOOP: 2nd edition of my weekly newsletter, FOIA Files, is out (SUBSCRIBE!), based on FBI docs related to the classified docs Trump took to MAL & how the Aug 2022 search roiled some of FBI's rank & file
"Did this really just happen? Am I dreaming?

Bloomberg broke the story:
Whatever your personal feelings about the FBI, one thing the documents make clear: the politicization of the bureau is dangerous for the people who work there.
The cache of records the FBI turned over includes hundreds of pages of emails, text messages, spreadsheets and internal memos documenting “a series of violent threats” to FBI property, personnel and their families after the Mar-a-Lago search.
“People are threatening us more than usual due to the actions of the few,” one of the employees wrote to Morey, the FBI ombudsman.
Journalist Kyle Becker writes: “The ONLY just outcome in Trump’s classified documents case can be DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE in light of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s refusal to bring charges against sitting President Joe Biden.
Joe Biden not only willfully and intentionally mishandled classified documents, stored them in multiple insecure locations, and procured them while Senator and Vice President, but he also misled federal investigators, obstructed justice, and divulged national security secrets.
Biden’s leaks of classified information are deemed to be so serious that the Intelligence Community is now performing a “damage assessment” to ascertain the extent they compromised national security.
While both cases may contain elements of technical illegalities, Donald Trump’s case is far less egregious than Joe Biden’s, given the fact Trump was a sitting president with ultimate declassification authority.
He stored the documents at Mar-a-Lago, his authorized presidential office away from the White House; and he has further protection by the Presidential Records Act.
Thus, in the event of a “guilty” verdict in the Trump case, it will be a case of “selective and vindictive prosecution” — as blatant a case of election interference in U.S. history.
A Trump guilty verdict would thus be a political outcome subverting the will of American voters.
It would be the true “attack on democracy” that the Democratic Party is dishonestly protesting about, while it interferes in America’s elections and compromises institutions such as the rule of law.”
NOW: Former President Donald Trump is inside a Florida courthouse to hear a judge's decision on a motion to dismiss his classified documents case.

Disingenuous. No one had wanton access to the documents stored at Mar-a-Lago. If they did why did the FBI need to raid his home to bust in where they were held? Biden stored his documents all over the place and had zero right to them. He had no power to declassify them. https://t.co/vKc3oWRSaV

Daily Mail revealed yet another FBI whistleblower’s dissent:
D’Antuono said he had ‘absolutely no idea’ why the decision was made.
He also noted that the FBI would not wait for Trump’s attorney to show up before conducting the search.
He said the FBI should have tried to work with the attorney to get consent to search the residence before conducting the search.
