The One Thing That Is Very Clear from the Search of Trump’s Home...Merrick Garland is not playing it safe.

Renato Mariotti is the Legal Affairs Columnist for POLITICO Magazine.

He is a former federal prosecutor and host of the “On Topic” podcast.

The search warrant executed at Donald Trump’s club in Florida Monday has triggered much speculation about what the FBI was looking for in his personal safe. One thing that should not be in doubt in any longer, however, is Attorney General Merrick Garland’s willingness to go after the former president.

exactly. They are holding prisoners in deplorable conditions without bail for a year and a half - no one has done anything. they shor an unarmed American woman veteran, no one has done anything, they stole the 2020 election, no one has done anything. THey have no reason to believe that anyone will do anything to them at this point other than express outrage on social media. so why not go for broke? The problem is, that they think they have “evolved” and they are better human beings and so much smarter than our forebears. - would that they understood that history repeats itself and they are no better than any other tyrants in history. There will be a reckoning. There will be a storming of the Bastille or another shot heard around the world or a john brown.

Song from 1775. Any of this sound familiar?

The Revolutionary Alphabet

A stands for Americans, who never will be slaves,
B’s for Boston’s bravery, where there their freedom saves,
C is for the Congress which though loyal will be free,
D stands for Defense against all force and tyranny!

Stand firmly A to Z,
we swear forever to be free!

E stands for the evils, which a civil war must bring,
F stands for the dreadful fate, For people and for king,
G’s for George, may Heaven grant him wisdom, health and grace,
H is for the hypocrites, who wear a double face.

J’s for justice, which the traitors, now in power defy,
K’s for king again who should to such the axe apply,
L’s for London, where he sits,to Honour ever true,
M’s for Mansfield, who it seems, doeth hold another view

N is North, who to the House, the evil mandate brings,
O’s for oaths that seemingly, bind subjects, not their kings,
P stands for the People who their freedom would defend,
Q stands for the question, when will England’s troubles end?

R stands for the Rebels, not in Boston, but at home,
S stands for the Stuarts, sent by Whigs abroad to roam,
T stands for the Tories, who may try to bring them back,
V stands for the villains, who have well deserved the rack

W must stand for Wilkes, who us from warrants saved,
Y for York, the New, now half-corrupted, half-enslaved
Z we give to Zero, which refers to Tory minions,
who threaten us with fire and sword, to bias our opinions.

Stand firmly A to Z, we swear forever to be free!

This is all on Obama, he was the one who enabled and aggressively weaponized the FeralGovernment™ against any of its own citizens who uphold our Social, Economic, and Political traditions.

Fat nation much like us here just grumbles

Eventually some lone wolf will assassinate some big lefty like a media head or politician and the right will howl “horrible”

That’s how I see it heading

Not sure anything would put right wingers in the street en masse

Even now most talkers on the right are advising folks to not overreact

Don’t get angry that is what they want you to do

That’s essentially what our leadership always says as progressives take more and more real estate in this war we’re in for the survival of western civilization

Very good reason? Very good reason for who?. The DOJ and FBI are blatant liars. A LIE is a very good reason? Your article stinks.
You and your media friends LIE so much you wouldn’t know the TRUTH if hit you in the face… disgusting….

Attorney General Merrick Garland is my concern for the next 2+ years. Even after the R’s take over congress, they won’t have a super-majority. And they won’t be able to stop Garland’s activities. Congressional investigations won’t result in prosecutions without Garland’s approval.

I suppose the only option for the R’s is to gut the budgets of the DOJ and FBI.

Garfinkel’s family only arrived in the US in 1939.

He’s really not American; has near zero relatives in the US or history in this country. He doesn’t really care if he burns it all down.

He undoubtedly grew up with stories of the Saint Louis being refused port in ‘39; he harbors a massive grudge against the Americans.

So he doesn’t mind throwing a nuclear bomb. He’s basically a terrorist, willing to abuse power and take all sorts of risks. He’s been told he’ll be protected - so go ahead.

He’s the Meyer Lansky of the New Overlord Class: the smart guy always looking for an angle, taking absurd risks. But high payoff...

So he went there.

It all blows up in his face? One of the FIB guards shoots the President demanding to get in to his own house?

No prob. Can always head to Tel Aviv. That’s where his heart lies anyway.

That’s who this guy is: A foreigner, goin’ for the ultimate grift: we stole the election, and then we imprisoned the rubes who fought back.

Great bedtime story for the grandkids.

Interesting take on this.

On the other hand, a FISA warrant request is supposed to be killer tight. So there's that....

Garland is part of the cabal, as seen in Obama’s earlier attempt to get him on the Supreme Court.

This cabal/cartel are serious seditionaries.

Obama
Holder
Garland
Jarret
Rice
Harris

Who else holds power in this clique?

investigators took the more serious step of requesting a search warrant. This suggests that officials at the Department of Justice did not think they would get all the documents in Trump’s possession if they filed a subpoena.


they wanted a warrant for a fishing expedition and possible planting of damning evidence

garland is butthurt and he wants revenge

They were there to plant evidence, not find it.

Garland isn’t confident due to finding some evidence, if he was he wouldn’t have had to scrape Epstein’s attorney-turnex-judge up to reuse him for a warrant. If there was something real, any qualified judge would do.

My first thought was that Ceasar had crossed the Rubicon. He has lined up the Praetorian Guard in his favor.

Historical inaccuracy! Augustus Ceasar created the Praetorian Guard in 27 BC, 17 years after Julius Ceasar's assassination and 22 years after he crossed the Rubicon River.

Renato Mariotti is a real POS on the Twittsewer.

Partisan as the day is long, so he's lying for The Party.
