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.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: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.
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.”

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.

I suspect this will become a “Whoops, we didn’t mean to do this, it was completely wrong, it was just a mistake but we found stuff”.
It does make you stop and question the validity of a warrant issued by the Federal Magistrate who recused himself in another matter Trump had before his court......
I don’t think we can have it both ways - if no permission, then complain the FBI is going rogue, if they seek permission, then claim they are all in cahoots.
Congress would feel badly about interrupting his vacation in the mountains.
To the extent so, it’s just for plausabile denialability.
I’m sure the FIB has at least unspoken delegated authority to “Get TRUMP!”.

This is very hard to believe.
There is a system in place, due process, for approval and executing search warrants and FBI raids.
There should be a series of approval, and chain of command, for how this all went down.
If we are really to believe that Garland and Biden knew nothing, then that right there is a huge story, deserving of investigation.
Silence is deafening, in that, Biden is on vacation, out of sight, and we do not see any public statements from Merrick Garland or Christopher Wray about how this all came about.
Among other things, there has to be probable cause before you can execute a search warrant. What was the probable cause? We know that magistrate judge approved the search warrant. What was the evidence presented? Why aren’t we being told any of the details of what led to this action?
Theoretically, Merrick Garland and Chris Wray could have a press conference and put all this to rest.
The fbi is the enemy, folks.
I think the term is “Implausible Deniability”.
Nations hostile to US➡️Soros, Clintons, Obama➡️Democrat Party
Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Biden has a defense against any charges like this… HE’S brain dead. So, we are left scrambling around for the REAL culprit and totally without an honest ‘media’ or support of the GOP. It’s JUST what Nancy and Co. planned.
In the end, it will be impossible to fix blame on anyone!!
that’s just more gaslighting to the FBliars. Biden, Garland, and Mayorkis all planned this, probably for months.
To the extent so, it’s just for plausible deniability.
I’m sure the FIB has at least unspoken delegated authority to “Get TRUMP!”.
So, Biden is admitting he is a liar and)or incompetent?
Of course, we already knew that.
CNN. The idea that the FBI would raid a former President’s house without those two knowing is absolutely ridiculous. What is interesting is that they would send that BS out. If the raid was justified why would they deny they knew. Without knowing it CNN is saying the raid was inappropriate
There is no possible way Wray did this without a signoff from the President. This is not plausible.
