Trump Freaks Out After Admitting FBI Seized His Passports

Donald Trump had yet another meltdown on Monday where he admitted that the FBI seized his passports during the recent search. This would indicate that the agency believed he could be a flight risk, and it is also further proof that criminal charges are a VERY real possibility. Trump divulged the information looking for more outrage, but he's likely admitting that he's in far more trouble than most people realize. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Yesterday, Donald Trump claimed that the FBI seized his passports as part of the search and seizure down at Malago. He said, quote, wow. In the raid, by the FBI of Malago, they stole my three passports, one expired along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our country. Third world. Before we talk about the passports, let's talk about one other thing here. This attack on the FBI, which is what this little truth is. That's what he calls a all truth. Social. Um, this actually came after he promised to help turn the temperature down in this country. So in the morning he goes on, Fox news says I'm gonna do whatever it takes to help turn the temperature down. DOJ. Can I help do something and calm all the crazy people that love me. And then later in the day, he's like, God bless the FBI. These sons of out here taking my stuff. Yeah. You're not turning the temperature down on anything. So the big question is, of course, is this true?

That's the answer to that? We don't know. We do not know if this is in fact true. Now we did get receipts by the way of the things that they took from Margo. And I went through it. I kind of skimmed through it. One of the things of course, that stuck out to me was that he actually still had the pardon that he issued for Roger Stone. I guess he's keeping it as a memento. Um, but I didn't see the passports listed on there. However, seizure of the passports is not necessarily part of the confiscation of the documents that he was holding seizure of the passports would in fact, be a separate event that would happen if the FBI determined that the individual was in fact a flight risk. So if Trump is telling the truth, and I think that is a very big, if, um, the FBI thought he might run, the only reason they take your passports.

And usually by the way, if they think you're that much of a flight risk, they'll actually go ahead and lock you up. Um, but of course, since he has not been charged with anything, they didn't do that. But where would it go? Right? I mean, the guy has his name plastered along the side of his airplane. It's not exactly like he's inconspicuous. not to mention if you see Donald Trump out in public, you're gonna know well that that's Donald Trump. I don't think there's anywhere on this planet. The man could hide where somebody's not gonna be like, Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that the guy that, yeah, people know what he looks like. I don't think he's gonna be able to disguise himself very well. He has a very

Distinct voice. So even if he did try to flee, I, which I think by the way would be hilarious. You're gonna get another country calling up authorities in the United States saying like, yeah, I just saw him walking down the street here in Paris, uh, complaining about everything. So if y'all wanna come get him here, he is, people are gonna be taking videos of him in other countries. If he were to flee, not saying the FBI shouldn't have seized his passports again, if they did, I think they should have, but it all comes back to Donald Trump promising to get people to calm down. And then coming back out here and accusing the FBI of stealing from him, which is really just a fancy word for having to confiscate things because they think he could be a flight risk.
