FBI's lack of transparency on Trump raid 'may be the first step to tyranny': Trump's lawyer
Fox News ^ | August 13, 2022 12:06am EDT

Attorney for former President Donald Trump Lindsey Halligan called the FBI’s lack of transparency about its raid on Trump’s home perhaps "the first step to tyranny" Friday on "Hannity."

HALLIGAN: President Trump, to my understanding, declassified everything. The FBI's withholding of information and lack of transparency is crazy. It's honestly - it may be the first step to tyranny. Controlling the channel of information is also part of that. And if it wasn't for Truth Social, Twitter might have banned President Trump from telling the world what happened on Monday. Seems that they want to silence President Trump and cancel his ability to tell the truth. If you look at his track record, he's exposed them - one - spying on his campaign. Two, the corruption of Hunter Biden's influence peddling for millions of dollars. And three, voter fraud - the invention of ballot drop boxes which the Supreme Court just ruled unconstitutional. And now he's exposing the overreach of Monday's raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Well said, although tyranny in the U. S. started in 1913.

“First step”?
THAT train left the station LONG ago!
Exactly when is open to debate, but this is nowhere near the “First” step.
Perhaps the most vivid since the lead up to the Civil War, reconstruction, or income tax, maybe the most noticed since the NFA-34 and creation of the ATF?
Then there is todays legislation establishing the IRS as the new Stasi!
So this is really just one more straw to break our backs.

Ugh… w wilson gave us the IRS and federal reserve in the same year. And just like the last 3 years, we complied. Masking, travel restrictions, operation Warped vax, bumpstock ban.

FOCUS YOURSELF and support Trump and stop worrying about when the first step was or wasn’t

From the article:

“The FBI’s withholding of information and lack of transparency is crazy.”

At least they unsealed the warrant so Trump knows what he’s up against. It’s still weird that they’re coming after Trump before he’s even announced his 2024 run, before he’s any kind of threat to their agenda. Generally law enforcement only spends this kind of effort on career criminals. That obviously isn’t the case with Trump so I don’t know what they’re playing at.

If we have to wait for the (Possible, but not certain) return of Trump we are done for.
That is over two years away, if ever.
In case you have not noticed, Trump has no actual power over legislation or the legislature right now.
“Words have meaning”, the article is exasperating as it is so inaccurate.
I stand by my point.

I’d argue it started during the Civil War.

Some would say CAUSED the Civil War.
Then piled on new outrages.

After seeing what happened to his lawyers in November and December of 2020 I'd have to give the ladies credit for their courage.

I agree with you but another Freeper explained the reason was because no one would ever be hired by a WOKE firm.

The first step to tyranny was the fake election of Joe Biden.
