McCabe \u2013OAN National Correspondent<br \/>UPDATED 8:31 AM PT \u2013 Friday, August 12, 2022<\/h5>\n<p><strong>(Tallahassee, Fla.) <\/strong>A retired FBI supervisory special agent told One America News that Monday\u2019s raid on President Donald J. Trump\u2019s Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago home was outside the normal paradigms as he knew them for 28 years at the bureau.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Danik, whose last posting was in the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s field office five miles from Mar-a-Lago, said he was stunned by the news of the FBI raid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShock. First thought: I was another great example of the overreach that has been going on, uh, related to issues regarding Donald Trump and his presidency,\u201d Danik said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing about the approach to Donald Trump and his presidency, his administration, or any of these potential crimes, that\u2019s normal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so hard to really justify a lot of the things that they do against a normal paradigm,\u201d he said. \u201cSeems like there\u2019s some kind of agenda that would never apply to anybody else because in the normal world these kinds of things never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danik, who now works as a Miami-based private consultant, specializing in litigation support services and due diligence reviews, said he was aware of reports that there was an inside source working with the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>It is a big deal to set up an FBI informant for a normal citizen, let alone a former president and active political figure, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t just open a source in the FBI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a formalized process,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a discussion with a prosecutor whose buy-in on the opening of that source is documented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The paperwork alone is a deterrent, Danik said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a whole punch list that the document is multiple pages that has to be filled out to open that source, and that as an official source of the FBI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>An easier route is to cultivate a less formal source, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can have what\u2019s called in the FBI parlance, you can have, and DOJ is called a cooperating witness, which is not an informant\u2014it\u2019s just somebody giving information,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The retired G-man said the treatment of Trump is part of America\u2019s two-tier criminal justice structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dual justice system that seems to be going on around us, in plain view,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have FBI supervisors falsifying FSA warrants just goes on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a White House official arrested on misdemeanors in public, Peter Navarro, while the person who almost won governor of the state of Florida, Andrew Gillum, was indicted on multiple felonies recently and allowed two weeks to turn himself into an FBI office,\u201d Danik said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why people say factually, it\u2019s not an opinion, factually, there\u2019s a double justice system\u00a0when you\u2019ve got Peter Navarro in chains, and you\u2019ve got Andrew Gillum turning himself in, in a $1,000 suit to the FBI office in Tallahassee.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neil W.
