Why Did the FBI Turn Off Cameras During Trump Raid?

They took the time to bring in their own “CLASSIFIED” cover sheets as they tampered with evidence and staged photos. What else did the jackbooted thugs do after they cut security cameras?
One of the stranger things about the Mar-a-Lago raid was the discussion about whether the surveillance cameras should be on or off.
Eric Trump had previously said that the FBI asked them to turn off surveillance cameras during the raid. And that they refused and the cameras had caught agents entering restricted parts of the estate.
Jack Smith admitted in a recent filing that the cameras were turned off at “out of concern for agent safety” before they were then turned on again by the request of the Trump attorneys.
But what exactly was the nature of the threat to the agents from the cameras being on? Were the Feds worried about getting into a shootout with Trump security? Unlikely.
The only alternative is that they were afraid of being identified. But the names and identities of FBI personnel are not supposed to be a state secret.
So either the FBI was trying to keep the identities of its personnel taking part in the raid secret or it was trying to flout the terms of the search warrant.
Either one is police state behavior.

Yeah, if this was a police officer turning off his camera before an arrest in downtown Minneapolis, there would be rats screaming from the rafters. As long as it is Trump who is having his rights trampled on, rats are good to go.
Epstein ...cameras off
J6 videos still hidden from key viewpoints
J6 pipe bomber camera... pans away 🤔
Cocaine found in the white house... no video?/ not released
Maralago raid.. cameras off
Etc. etc. etc.
Everything we do, anywhere we go, even our phones are watching....cameras ON
We are not stupid...The corruption has to end!
Oh you gals
That's why the revving engine hoax was so obvious
20 girls and no video
I asked my dad, Commander in the Navy for 27 years if he was allowed to take classified documents home. He said, "nope". Whats hard to understand here.
From what I understood, Trump was given a bunch of leeway to return those documents and refused and then played the victim card yet again. I'm not surprised some of you ruskies are ok with being reckless with classified docs.
Alright, lets hear what your idiot sources on Twitter/X have to say now. Go ahead Race.
Guy who relies on “what I hear” is demanding sources and links.
Why don't you respond to the thread first
Was your dad president?
What did he say about Biden's garage?
Well, the dem talking point is that Trump is competent to stand trial but the dementia patient - well he is a dementia patient.
Spaz can’t even focus enough to stay on-topic.
Navy dad must be ashamed to have such a Leftist Loser as a son.
Daddy was given multiple opportunities to return the shit, consequence free.
There's something organically wrong with Daddy, which is why I only really hate the cocksuckers who enable him.
What a fucking moron
What a fucking moron
What a fucking moron
And biden was allowed? Explain that you dipchit.
How do you ever find time to participate in political discussions when you are making 30% in the stock market year after year?
Your dad was president? Wow.... slightly different rules there, Turbo
Trump had been complying with National Archives. It’s Biden and his Wingman Garland who ordered the armed raid where the jackboots rifled through Melania’s and Barron’s underwear, along with staging evidence for a photo op that was given to the media.
If you’re defending that raid, you’re a fascist but neither of you dunces would support it in public and your real lives. You’re both cowards.
Our resident lefty loons are puposely stupid per usual. They actually enjoy looking like their IQ is the same as their refrigerator temps.
why would he need to return something that he legally didn’t have to return?
Or are you talking about the additional documents the FBI and Natl Archives sent to him as a set up?
maybe you’re taking about buck’s daddy who couldn’t have classified documents
Sorry, PT. I carelessly forgot that you have constructed a crackpot theory of planted documents belied by Daddy's own statements about the issue.
Soldier on!
