Is the attorney general disingenuous or simply naïve?
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday held a belated press conference to explain that he had personally approved the FBI’s raid of Donald Trump’s Florida residence to seize documents deemed U.S. government property.
A clearly agitated and nervous Garland sought to exude confidence in the raid. He went on to heatedly defend the professionalism and integrity of the Justice Department and FBI.
But almost immediately after his sermon, the Justice Department and its affiliates were back to their usual selective leaking (“sources say” . . . “according to people familiar with the investigation”) to liberal newspapers.
In no time, the Washington Post claimed the raid was aimed at finding Trump Administration documents relating to “nuclear secrets.” The now-familiar desired effect was achieved. “Presidential historian” Michael Beschloss quickly tweeted a picture of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, noting that in the past revealing such nuclear secrets had led to the death penalty. Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, previously known for comparing Trump’s border detention facilities to Auschwitz and falsely claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian “disinformation,” replied: “Sounds about right.” That is, without any proof, it was legitimate to imagine that the former president of the United States, like the Rosenbergs, should be executed for passing nuclear secrets.
So, as intended, the Justice Department and FBI leaks touched off a round of intended liberal hysteria of the sort we saw during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian collusion with Trump’s 2016 campaign aimed at disguising government misdeeds or overreach.
Sources Tell Us
Despite Garland’s pious assertions, we know the modus operandi of selective leaking from the career of Andrew McCabe. The disgraced former interim FBI director admitted to lying to federal investigators about his role in leaking to the Wall Street Journal.

How many hoaxes before people stop believing this stuff?

The scary part about this election is the total lack of fear by Democrats over losing the House and Senate.
They behave like it does not matter.
You get this happening now with DOJ, FBI, IRS and ATF and they are baking the swamp into the cake while making enemies lists.
Apparently there is no limit to the gullibility of people who really believe.
It's best to accept the fact that these people are truly Evil.
Here’s my problem....Trump was told to put an additional lock on the door (or whatever). That would constitute permission on their part that he could retain the records there.
“Losing the people”?! He should be viewed exactly same as Satan. He offers 0 but takes plenty.
PS: Every ex-POTUS has a “room”.
The democrats behavior tell us that they will cheat in a massive way in the mid terms of 2022.
Question is, when they do and it is obvious, what will we do?
Will we accept it, shut up, and hope they will play fair in 2024?
They no longer really try to hide it anymore. They just threaten anyone who doesn’t shut up about it, or publicly calls them out.
Simple, he’s a low IQ commie!
The Raid was a piece of the FBI midterm campaign leading to their choosing of President in 2024.
“Why Merrick Garland Is Losing the People”
Did he ever have the “people”.
Because he's a lying, two-faced, commie SOB..?
This latest hoax is in line with all the other Trump related hoaxes, and even all the hundreds of “hate crime” hoaxes over the last several decades. They all have the same goal, to divide the country, and make the Media-Dem Party more powerful.
If the FBI finds anything, it was planted. The FBI is corrupt as the day is long. Rank and file included. Very sad indeed.
>> touched off a round of intended liberal hysteria
VDH is smart enough to know that these people aren’t “liberal”.
How many hoaxes before people stop believing this stuff?

People have - particularly in the US - a bottomless supply of credulity. So the answer is never.
Garland needs to perserve all of his records and electronic devices for a future investigation.
They just dont care what the people think, they control all levers of power.
