3:57Now PlayingAlina Habba, one of Donald Trump's lawyers, said in an interview at the end of last week that she wants the FBI to reveal the names of ALL of the agents that were involved in the search of Mar-a-Lago. Not only is this something that doesn't happen in typical FBI investigations, but it would directly put these agents in danger from crazed Trump supporters - but maybe that's what Habba wants. Farron Cousins discusses this.

One of Donald Trump's lawyers, Alina Haba, who of course has, you know, not really been getting along with the rest of Donald Trump's lawyers. They view her as kind of a bit of a joke, according to reports. But miss Haba appeared in an interview recently on Newsmax, where she actually called for the identities of the FBI agents that went down to Margo to be revealed to the public because sure, what could go wrong with that? Right. Folks? Here's what miss Haba had to say. We don't want you to see their identities because we don't want you to know who did that. Well, if you're doing it as an agent, I'm not sure you should have that. Right? Listen, FBI agents, undercover agents. That's one thing. But when you go into a president's home, an ex president's home, what do you expect is going to happen? What do you expect?
Now? She was saying this in response to wanting, for some reason, the, uh, surveillance footage of the FBI, going into Margo released to the public. And she wants that footage released so that people can see the faces of these FBI agents so that they can then of course be identified because then what happens? Folks, honest to God, think about it for a second. What good comes of revealing the identities, the names faces, whatever of these FBI agents. Does it make you sleep better at night knowing who these people are? No, and it sure as hell won't let these agents sleep better at night either because that's the frigging point. Ms. Haba is well aware of the increased attacks against the agency itself. So she also likely knows that the judge who has been named the magistrate judge has also been receiving death threats as have members of the DOJ, including merit Garland. So I have no doubt that she also understands that if people know who these FBI agents are, they're probably then gonna become the target of death threats to possibly something even worse than just a threat.
That's the point. And you cannot convince me otherwise, I have a feeling and this is just my hunch. Maybe you have a different opinion of this, but I kind of feel like maybe she wants that to happen, right? Don't you get that, that image from her? Like we should release it. If whatever happens, why not? Right? What do you expect going into Trump's home that we're just gonna leave you alone. And for the record, when the FBI does do these raids and they go into a suspect's house and they take things, their names are not released, right? We don't know who these people are, nor do we need to nor have Republicans ever called for that to happen. But they're doing it now because they understand how crazy Donald Trump's supporters
Are. And yeah, they're frigging crazy. And I feel like that's what they want to happen. They want to put these people in harm's way. Otherwise, why else would we need to know their identities? Well, so we can go buy 'em a drink. So, so we can send them a Christmas card. None of that makes any sense. There is only one possible reason why these people could want these identities made public. And it's because they know how crazy Donald Trump's supporters are. And maybe one of them can make a martyr of themselves going after these agents.
