Description

The Aug 8th FBI SEARCH of MAR-a-LAGO was DUE PROCESS

The Aug 8th FBI SEARCH of MAR-a-LAGO is "On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former U.S. president Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_search_of_Mar-a-Lago

DUE PROCESS is "A legal concept where a person is ensured all legal rights when deprived of their liberty for a given reason."
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/due_process

BURDEN of PROOF

Wikipedia advises:
"When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo. This is also stated in Hitchens's razor, which declares that "what may be asserted without evidence, may be dismissed without evidence." Carl Sagan proposed a related criterion – "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" – which is known as the Sagan standard."

PRO must defend USFG claim of due process
CON must prove that the search of Mar-a-Lago and seizure of govt. documents was unreasonable or unwarranted in the Fourth Amendment sense of those standards.

PRO is requesting sincere and friendly engagement on this subject.
No trolls or kritiks, please.
