Fact Check: Did FBI Plan Donald Trump's 'Assassination?'
Newsweak ^ | May 22, 2024 | Tom Norton

Posted on 05/23/2024 7:36:44 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

MAGA Donald Trump supporters have rallied behind the former president after he released FBI paperwork, connected to its search of his Mar-a-Lago residence, showing agents were permitted to use "deadly force."

On Tuesday, Trump shared on his social media platform Truth Social the information revealed by an unsealed search warrant in his classified documents case which said that federal agents were prepared to use "deadly force" when executing the raid of his Florida resort.

After the news broke, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and Trump ally Mike Davis discussed what they called an "assassination" plot by the bureau.

A post on X, formerly Twitter, by user @TRHLofficial, on May 22, 2024, stated: "Steve Bannon and Mike Davis detail the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. 'If we tolerate this, we tolerate the end of this republic.'".....

Trump's post inflamed his supporters and his allies in the Republican Party, who repeated the assassination claims.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump loyalist known for her previous support for several QAnon conspiracy theories, immediately escalated the former president's accusations and wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that "the Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate Pres. Trump and gave the green light."

False.

There was no "assassination attempt" on Donald Trump by the FBI. The use of "deadly force" as contained in now unsealed search warrant documents is boiler-plate procedural text used by the bureau.

I think this suggestion makes a lot of sense!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is time for Judge Cannon to recognize that Trump is in physical danger from the DOJ and Federal agents and put him under the protection of the Federal Courts until after the election, and suspend all present State and Federal trials of Trump.

“Apparently yes. They were probably hoping Trump’s Secret Service would pull a gun or try physically removing the FBI from Trump’s presence. The hint that this may be the plan would have been if those FBI agents acted overly aggressive/ confrontational from the very start.”

What would the Secret Service do if an unknown, armed group broke in? Would they fire on the FBI? Very convenient if Trump got caught in the crossfire.

"Boiler-plate procedural text" authorizing the use of deadly force during a search of a former US president and current front-runner for the presidency.

Disgusting and an absolute embarrassment - we are well into America's devolution into banana-republic status.

They claim they did the same with Biden. Of course, they are lying.

I don’t think that the FIB saying this is just SOP, no big deal, we do it all the time makes them look any better or makes us feel safe where they are concerned-if anything, it made a lot of people remember Ruby Ridge and Waco-and that isn’t good...

It has become quite obvious that these days, any person or group who calls themselves "Fact Checkers" are not interested in presenting the truth, but are "checking" the facts: as in the second definition of verb (used with object):

2: to restrain; hold in restraint or control.

There is no “boiler plate” for the use of deadly force against an entire secret service detail. The very situation is the opposite of “boiler plate.”
Newsweek’s staffed by morons.

Dan Bongino calls bullshit on "normal procedure". Tim Pool has a good video on it.

Mar A Lago, also, has their own security (armed?)

Hopefully, PDJT has his own bodyguards and is not relying on the corrupt SS, under the corrupt Mayorkas for his protection.

Why did the feds have their people "dress down" to polos and khakis?

Did the coordinate with the SS, private personal and site security or local LE?

Bunch of unidentifable armed men swarming into Mar A Lago was meant to produce a reaction.

This is, really, bad.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all. Afterall the FBI and the ATF have been getting away with murders for years. The ATF just recently in Arizona.

In that killing they murdered a man who was awakened in the dark after the ATF busted his door in without announcing who they were.

It gets harder to believe these Federal Agencies everyday.

Do you remember how they did the same thing when they picked up the truly illegal documents that Biden had laying around in his garage and other unsecured places?

You don’t?

That’s probabl;y because it never happened.....
