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.

The EffBeeEye.NKVD are the shock-troop secret intelligence police for the MarxistExtremist murderes and global criminals who own the Democrat Party. No doubt they did that Raid to plan the assassination of Donald Trump. There is no other plausible reason.

That disgusting little garden gnome needs to be locked up. Just think, that lawless weasel was almost appointed to SCOTUS.

I think a lot of Garland's behavior now stems from that.

If there ever was a bullshit article, this is not only one but a perfect example.

For instance the author completely ignores the fact that the FBI has been publicly exposed for giving false information to judges, both by commission and by omission, in order to get warrants that they otherwise would not have been granted.

The article is so flagrantly dim propaganda that I am not going to pick it apart sentence by sentence. It is there for you to all to see. Suffice to say all of the corrupt practices used by the FBI and the DOJ in Russia Russia, the General Flynn persecution, Roger Stone, the January 6 victims are ignored in this article.

The fact that it appears in “POLITICO” is warning enough.

They picked this judge either because they knew the others wouldn’t go for it, and/or because they could pressure this one since he was Epstein’s attorney, and was connected to Bitcoin.

In the electronic age, shouldn’t there be copies of everything?

If Trump was going to do something inappropriate with the information, why wait over 2.5 years to do the search?

The article is trying to claim there is still law and order in our current third world banana republic.

Rats/RINOS/DOJ to anyone questioning the raid on Trump's home and whether it was lawful:

"Laws? We don't need no steenkin laws!"

The 2020 election was a vote fraud coup carried out by traitorous politicians coordinating with hostile foreign interest to install their puppet for the benefit of themselves and to the detriment of the formerly free United States of America.

This is just another sign of this terrible reality.

Pray for our United States to be saved. 🙏

“Jan 21, 2025. “ Former Attorney General Garland has been transported to Guantanamo Base for trial on treason charges along with others.”

Only if impeachment proceedings are started on Jan. 21, 2023 by the new Republican majority, no endless investigations like McCarthy is saying.

The FBI got away with lying to the FISA courts to spy on Trump, why not lie to another court?

The Left is no longer afraid of elections or accountability for some mysterious reason. /s

EXACTLY..
it’s not as if the FBI does not already have a precedent for lying to judges for warrants...

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

That is exactly right. Which is why the next Congress needs to get rid of Trump enemy McConnell as Majority Leader and Frank Luntz housemate McCarthy (Paul Ryan with a tan and blow dry) as Speaker. There is no way a darn thing positive will happen with those two left in charge.

They are holding prisoners in deplorable conditions without bail for a year and a half - no one has done anything. they shot 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?

For an encore they'll arrest PDJT. This will never end.

The MSM and the Democrat Party has got the Deep State™ of America's (DSA) back. If the DSA ever thinks they don't they will turn on them next.

Great article about what is going on. We are at war. The left is our enemy. They want us in chains or dead.
