The FBI conducted a raid on a former President of the United State without the permission of the current President or the Attorney General

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.

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.

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:

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.”
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) August 10, 2022

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.

Either way, Biden looks stupid and not in control.

If the FBI raided Trump's house without knowledge or consent of their superiors, it proves it is a rogue agency.

If Biden/Wray/Garland approved of the raid, it is proof of a political witch hunt and attempted intimidation.

Now, what about the judge who approved the warrant? Did he/she/it have knowledge of any senior FBI comrade signing off on the warrant request? Who did that?

“Plausible deniability” ... don’t you believe it, folks!

The move turned out to be less popular than they believed so now they’re moving to distance themselves.

Is this a signal for law enforcement nation-wide to start arresting politicians of the DNC. We can start the mayors and their entire adiminstrations in the cities that burned. Of course, better arrest the police chief too since they were complicit in the burning, looting and murdering. They are no different than a bystander who watches a rapist and then lets them go - but these folks cheered on the rapists of American cities.

If so, then the FBI is de facto running the country.

This is utter BS, I mean, the raid could not have been “hidden” from Biden and Garland. No way possible. It’s unbelievable that they would both announce they had no heads up on the raid. Because the order for the raid had to come from those two to proceed. I just can’t believe anything out of DC anymore. We do need to completely redo our entire federal governmental system because it is so corrupt

If Brandon was truly blindsided on something that was obviously going to be hugely controversial, Garland and Wray would have been ordered to appear at the White House immediately and justify their actions. Resignations would be demanded. You don’t put your boss in the middle of a s-storm without consequences. The timing of Brandon’s vacation makes it look like he’s cowering in the corner like a scared child.

I’m sure they told Biden. I’m also sure that he has no memory of being told. The idea that Garland wasn’t told is preposterous.

Biden & Garland claiming no knowledge of it means they’re running as fast as possible away from the dumpster fire.

Biden and his staff knew all about this.

His senior staff most certainly knew all about this. They probably told Biden just before the raid started.

Biden does not call the moves in this administration. He is a mere figurehead and puppet.

All of them need to be swept out of office. The FBI must be dismantled, its' executives and senior managers never allowed to work in any Government position again. Some should go to jail.

Resident Joe denied he didn’t have anything to do with Hunter,too.
Of course,the FBI never raided either one.

What did Joe know, and when did he know it?

...and what did he know and forget 10 seconds later?

Baloney! The FBI knows what the White House wants them to do. They know when to act. The White House does not have to hold their hand.

“And we believe what Biden and Garland and their flacks say, why??”

Exactly!

They not only were briefed, but I submit that it was their idea.

The media is just covering their smelly, 0bama-smeared butts.

This looks like a civilian version of My Lai or Abu Ghraib. In those cases, NCOs or junior officers were punished and higher ranks got almost nothing. Some FBI low level manager will be punished at most.
