Which is all a sideshow to distract from the fact that Trump's attorneys found classified documents in his bedroom four months after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago. https://www.axios.com/2024/05/21/trumps-classified-documents-bedroom-mar-a-lago?utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter |
DEADLY FORCE: It may be boilerplate for the FBI To give itself permission to use deadly force during raids. It is not boilerplate to conduct a raid on a Secret Service protected person much less a former president.
The moment Garland had to edit the boilerplate to discuss engagement with the former First Lady and her protective detail they should have considered how half of the nation might view the raid. Many Democrats believe calling the police on black suspects is akin to attempted homicide because of the chance they might get shot. Something went very wrong at the White House, DOJ, and FBI when this decision was made. It was wrong and should not be defended. |
It was indeed wrong, that it was necessary to raid MAL because after being asked repeatedly to return classified documents, Trump was still moving them around in his house. Agreed, pretty freakin’ wrong.

F off with this BS take. The FBI went so far as to NOT ENTIRELY SEARCH THE PREMISES. They left a slew of documents Trump had “hidden” in a locked closet. No other subject would be granted such outrageous deference. Any other raid, those doors would have been off the their hinges. And that language absolutely had to be kept in. The ( mostly republican) agents were reticent to do their effing jobs in the first place. Their boss had to remind them, this is what they are trained to do, and if some knuckle head gets the bright idea to pull a gun, they have a duty to protect themselves and their fellow agents. We had all already seen what total psychos Trump loyalists are on Jan 6. |
Which 10 inch binder were they searching for? |
Trump had been asked repeatedly to return the documents. He refused. His attorneys had been asked to oversee returning the documents. On Trump’s orders, they asserted, as officers of the court, that all of the documents had been returned. Trump was still ordering Walt Nauta to move boxes around. FBI agents, understandably, were very reluctant to raid Mar-a-Lago. I can see why they would propose asking permission, but obviously, that would have rendered another search as fruitless as previous efforts. A raid was the only way to recover the documents. The FBI did communicate with the Secret Service to gain entry to MAL. They did not bust down doors, guns drawn. They performed the raid while Trump was away, so there would be as few people involved as possible. |
+1 Trump has been treated with an insane amount of deference and preferential treatment. He is a traitor to our country. |
And frankly at this point enough is enough. The impunity with which Trump is behaving demonstrates he continues to actively denigrate our country’s national security. Can Jack Smith amend his court filings to include the additional documents Trump hid in his bedroom? |
What a bunch of babies. They argue that POTUS should have complete immunity from every offense imaginable, but then get their pantries in a wad over an Op Plan and the FBI wearing guns. Dan Bongino just has to say what he says to keep the gravy train going. It’s doubtful that he actually agrees with his own words. |
Bingo |
Bump whether anyone knows if Smith can amend his court filings? |
Of course he could supersede if he wanted, but it wouldn’t make any sense to do that. |
Because smith can get the evidence in that Trump continues to hide classified documents in his bedroom anyway? |
