Justice Department’s ‘No Comment’ Lets Trump Team Set Search Narrative
US News ^ | August 10, 2022 | By Susan Milligan

Posted on 08/10/2022 3:10:26 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Protocol is to not remark on an ongoing investigation. But Trump is not a typical figure of a federal case. And the official silence has allowed the former president to fill the void.

The legal walls are starting to close in on team Trump, after federal agents searched former President Donald Trump's Florida home Monday and investigations advance in New York and Georgia.

But it's the embattled former president and his loyalists who are the only ones doing the talking, giving Trump a platform to express his grievances and raise money from rank-and-file Republicans who claim their favored political leader is being wrongly targeted.

On paper, it all paints a grim picture for Trump, who is mulling a 2024 run for the Oval Office. But it has been the former president and his supporters who have been using the developments to their political advantage.

Trump is talking, and raising money off the FBI search. Democrats are waiting and watching. And the Department of Justice is sticking to the same message: No comment.

Why doesn’t Trump release the search warrant and inventory taken log? Wouldn’t that provide clarity?

When the walls start closing in, isn’t that strong evidence of Gorebal Warning?

My understanding is that he doesn’t have the full warrant—part or all of it was sealed and not given to his attorney.

/\

Is that why the media’s cameras were waiting at mar largo at o dark thirty ready to roll ?

And was the leading story on the major networks morning shows ?

And the leakers leaking the premise of the raid ?

They’ve been “ remarking” all day all over the entire country.

Brothers please.

Urinalists claiming its rain on our legs.

“”On paper, it all paints a grim picture for Trump, who is mulling a 2024 run””

______________________________________________________

I’ve heard the author of this, Ms Milligan, suffers from Exploding Head Syndrome or EHS. No joke. This is serious.

Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is a disorder characterized by the perception of loud noises (e.g. a bomb explosion, gunshot or cymbal crash) when going to sleep or awakening. Contrary to the name, ENS is not associated with pain. However the noise attacks can elicit a great deal of fear, confusion and distress in sufferers. Reports of tachycardia and palpitations are also common. Despite the distressing nature of EHS, relatively little is known about the prevalence and underlying cause of the condition.

That is BS cover. The FBI raided a Former President and Future rival of a sitting President. Even the RINO’s have said you cannot do such a thing without explaining the action.

Anyone else notice that all the corrupt MSM are explicitly downplaying what really happened. They are editorially using this phrase, "searched former President Trump's..."

No, the corrupt FBI/DOJ raided Trump's home. His home was raided by the FBI. A lot of raids don't include breaking down doors, but it is an abusive gestapo raid nonetheless.

They don’t have them. Trump’s lawyers are suing DOJ to get them.

It was a home invasion by terrorists armed with actual assault weapons, pure and simple.

It's their burden, and their move.
