Answer: Uh, false premise. Let’s wait for the facts. Plus, just plain not true as to 87,000 new agents. So two false premises. — PolitiTweet.org

5. "If this is the product of the growing political weaponization of federal law enforcement agencies, shouldn't all Americans be outraged by the Democrats' plan to hire an additional 87,000 federal agents?" — PolitiTweet.org

— setting aside whether they actually had been “declassified.” Former guys can’t declassify. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
"It's important to note that classification authority belongs to the president of the United States — NOT to bureaucrats at the National Archives." (part 2) Also easy: Because the legal problem was that the records were stolen or held without proper authority, classified or not — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
4. "If this is genuinely about presidential records, why would the former President — who was in charge of declassifying documents — be subject to prosecution for retaining custody of the same documents?" (part 1) — PolitiTweet.org

Warrant application/affidavit will explain when it becomes public. — PolitiTweet.org

3. "Why execute a search warrant rather than seek the items through an informal process such as a subpoena?" Easy one: either because they had been deceived in previous efforts or because there was danger of destruction of evidence or obstruction of investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

(Plus maybe they asked someone to open it.) — PolitiTweet.org

2. "Why break into the safe at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home rather than seize it, take it into custody, and seek a warrant to open it?" Answer: Because they already had a warrant for the whole place — closets, safes, refrigerators, you name it. I’ve seen walls broken open in searches. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, let me try! Here we go: 1. "Did Attorney General Merrick Garland personally sign off on this action?" Answer: Likely not, as FBI has procedures for clearing this sort of thing, but he’d likely be notified. https://t.co/3LkvxRF8C7 — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden has signed the Honoring Our PACT Act, and veterans in Rhode Island can breathe a sigh of relief. We have a sacred commitment to treat our heroes with dignity and gratitude, and I will continue to do everything in my power to honor that. — PolitiTweet.org

FOX connects seizure of Scott Perry phone to Mar-a-Lago search warrant, but it more likely relates to seizure of Jeffrey Clark electronics, presumably investigation of plan to take over DOJ to attack Georgia election results. https://t.co/6iB5COmwA5 — PolitiTweet.org

Aquaculture is a pillar of RI's Blue Economy, and @myRWU is working to help the industry thrive. I’m glad that @SenJackReed and I could deliver funding to support RWU aquaculture programs, which we got to witness firsthand yesterday (complete with waders). https://t.co/PYweqgWxJx — PolitiTweet.org

Records violation seems small to justify such a raid, and you ordinarily don’t consider the penalty in pursuing a warrant. He has a good point, but I’m waiting for more to develop. If the record violation amounted to obstruction, that may be the reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Dark money mischief is often afoot around any potential climate action, but this one might just take the cake for rank dishonesty. — PolitiTweet.org

Right-wing special interests are so desperate to kill the reconciliation bill, they appear to be setting up fake progressive climate groups to tank it. Kill the climate bill to save the climate, they say. https://t.co/w6aUOX1iFn — PolitiTweet.org
