I can understand your reticence to criticize the comment he made about “standard OPS....” probably because of his helping accused J6 defendants, but the truth of the matter is that there was NOTHING standard about the MAL raid, and to defend it under of the cover “they were going by the book, so to speak” is unwarranted in my view.
As I said, the very fact the intended raid was to be on a former President of the US makes the whole operation/scheme special and nonstandard, and a better and more appropriate OPS plan required AND clearance of that plan up to the highest civilian authority - the President (even if it is/was Biden).
Under a fair government regime I might agree with him. But,
our system of government is now under color of political ideology completely down through the line to the lowest levels - major government agencies like DOJ/FBI et al are completely corrupted and the law (and standard OPS) are only used when it’s against opponents of leftist government. Other instances (e.g., when they “raided Biden’s garage”) involving liberal targets ARE given special handling - betcha the FBI didn’t show up there at the garage with use-of-force ROI’s and machine guns, etc.
Not reticent at all. His great 01/06 work does not mean he can’t be wrong on issues.
Thanks for explaining your viewpoint.
