The FBI and its media allies scramble to justify the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid
American Thinker ^ | 12 Aug, 2022 | Rajan Laad

...and the left is spewing all kinds of improbable conspiracy theories.

After considerable public pressure, missing-in-action U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland finally addressed the media yesterday, saying he “personally approved the decision” for the FBI to execute a search warrant at President Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago. Garland declined to provide details about the investigation, such what the documents retrieved by the FBI were.

Reading from his text Garland piously intoned:

"Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing."

Following claims of honor, morality, and legal egalitarianism, Garland’s FBI then leaked information to the Washington Post, a notorious Democrat mouthpiece, proving in itself that the agency had been politized and compromised, and not for the first time.

The WaPo reported that the FBI was looking for classified documents related to nuclear weapons during their raid. The sources were obviously anonymous. It’s unclear what type of documents the FBI claimed to be seeking or if they pertained to nuclear weapons belonging to the U.S. or other countries.

“Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor.”

Cognitive dissonance, total lack of self-awareness, completely tone-deaf, or just a flat-out lie.

The law is not, and has not been, applied “evenly” by the DOJ or even the FBI acting on the behalf of the current regime, or its predecessor regime from the years 2009-2017. Even during the Trump years, the DOJ and the FBI slow-walked every request that came down form the Oval Office, or even “lost” the instructions given to them.

It has been like standing before the slowly advancing glacier moving down the mountain canyon and shaking your fist at it, meaning to stop it.

The glacier does not care.

Next, they’ll be claiming, without evidence, that Trump passed nuclear secrets to foreign entities.

When a Leftist media reports with ‘anonymous sources’, it is simply more propaganda desperately seeking some sort of credibility.

We don’t trust you MSM, you have a history of making sxxx up.

What if Trump knew he had a snitch, and fed him false info to provoke a raid which would find nothing and give them a black eye?

Would make a great 'Spy-vs-Spy' cel......

Garland asks us to trust the process.

Right Trust no raid on Hunter or Hillary
Trust how they handled Anitfa
Trust how they handled COVID and now saying don’t worry about COVID
Trust how they went after parents at school board meetings
Trust how they go after Border Control agents not the illegals

LOL. Yes, I agree. I doubt she would ever want to touch anything these A holes ever touched. But then again, I wonder how many pairs of her panties, did these dip wads, stuff into their pockets?

America’s media would have justified Dachau and Auschwitz.

So we were being told that National Archives were demanding the remaining documents still in Trump’s possession. Now we are being told they were sensitive documents pertaining to nuclear secrets. So, if they are so sensitive how are the curators of the National Archives even aware they exist? And, what did they plan to do with them? Put them in the warehouse next to Hunter’s laptop and the Ark of the Covenant?

The GSA packed up Trump’s items and shipped them to Mar a Lago. So the question should be asked, why did they pack up nuclear secrets? Were those documents just setting on the corner table by the lamp? Think about it. Doesn’t the entire premise sound ludicrous?

When a story keeps changing when one asks questions, you can usually be confident that almost everything you were being told was, and is, a lie.

No way Trump personally packed up the boxes of stuff bound for MAL when he left office. Somebody else did that.

And chances are he hasn’t looked in those boxes this whole time.

Yes, Trump hid the designs for our nuclear Death Star in Melania’s pantry drawer.

But he was no match for those FBI cross dressers…

You can not justify the raid. Nothing justifies the raid. Even the Obama compound with Valerie Jarret living with them is untouchable. This is the end for the fib. No one will trust them anymore.
