    Default FBI raid on a former President without the permission of the current President or the

    The FBI conducted a raid on a former President of the United State without the permission of the current President or the Attorney General





    If you accept what has been reported by CNN and Newsweek, this is unfrigginbelivable.

    Biden said he was "blindsided" by the raid and had no foreknowledge:

    The White House was “blindsided” by the stunning news that the FBI had executed a search warrant on Mar-A-Lago, the Palm Beach, Florida home of former President Donald Trump, reported CNN.
    CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins reported on the story during AC360, with guest host John Berman, calling it a “remarkable development” to see Trump himself confirming the news.

    That's bad enough but then today we learn that, according to Newsweek, the feckless PTA mom-hunting Attorney General of the US claims he had no foreknowledge of the raid:
    The story’s sources also claim AG Garland had “no prior knowledge” of the raid, which would be flabbergasting, if true. I’m really struggling to believe that. If it’s true, it’s an absolute mess.

    And the raid?

    … “senior government officials say the raid was scheduled with no political motive, the FBI solely intent on recovering highly classified documents that were illegally removed from the White House.”
    — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) August 10, 2022

    Baloney

    Last night I saw a clip from CNN in which one of their normally anti-Trump former intelligence "experts" said there's no way retention of classified documents get you "anywhere near" the President's home with a warrant.

    Now we have two ways to look at this. Either both Garland and Biden are lying their asses off and throwing the FBI under the bus, which is where it really belongs or neither Biden nor Garland knew had advance warning of the raid and the FBI went rogue on its own. Either one makes for a colossal cluster. Warrants are supposed to be limited in nature. If an informant told the FBI where to look and for what, that should be specified in the warrant and nothing else should have been touched. But that wasn't the case. The removal of the Trump lawyers from the premises as it was being searched was wrong, but it does something precious for Trump. Trump can now, since there were no observers, claim that anything found in his home that might be incriminating was planted by the FBI- especially since it was acting without the knowledge of the President or the Attorney General.

    So Garland, Wray and Biden were all totally surprised....

    Biden & Garland claiming no knowledge of it means they’re running as fast as possible away from the dumpster fire.

    Attorney General certainly signed off. Biden had no idea. As is the precedent. Except for that scumbag Trump.

    You are still choosing to ingnore the most important facts. Why did trump steal these papers and why didn't he return them.

    you are a blind and witless moron if you believe that the sitting president was not notified beforehand of a search warrant being served on a former president..........
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    A difference between normal presidencies and Trump's is that normal Presidents understand the Justice Department operates independently of a President's political or personal preferences.

    If the source, “flopping aces” wasn’t hysterical enough, supposedly it was “submitted” by a “Dr John,” who if I am not mistaken died three years ago, the MAGA militia just loves their anonymity, says a lot

    And on top of that, now we have a conspiracy, the right always has conspiracies, that Garland didn’t even know about the raid, oh, oh, must be Wray ordered it, he was a Trump appointee, just to add new sparkle to the Trump campaign, give them something to get the lemmings all fired up again

    Good point, the Trumpkins, as did Trump, view the Justice Dept as the President’s enforcers, out there to cover his ass, as Barr did do several times, to act as Trump’s Roy Cohn

    Trump taught them the President tells the Justice Department what to do and when to do it, and whatever Trump says is like his hair, fake gold...I mean REAL gold, sorry.

    It's called 'POLITICS'. something you obviously don't know anything about.
