Joe instigated it AND had no idea the raid was taking place.
Oddly enough, I can believe this.
I though I heard a parsed answer from the President to the reporter when he was asked about the raid that he said did not know when the raid was going to happen. This cut him off from follow up questions for he tacitly said no to the raid even if we know later that he approved it. Semantics are important with politicians. Give some wiggle room and they squirm out of the issue. I wonder if the question was a planted for deflection as Biden rarely takes questions from the press.
