It Wasn't Us! White House Panics as Mar-a-Lago Backfires - Throws Garland, DOJ, FBI Completely Under the Bus
Western Journal ^ | August 9, 2022 | Grant Atkinson

“No, the president was not briefed, was not aware of it. No. No one at the White House was given a heads up, no. That did not happen.”

When another reporter asked her whether she was concerned about the optics of the Justice Department raiding the home of a former president, Jean-Pierre said nothing.

After the reporter pressed her about Republicans saying the raid “reeks of politics,” Jean-Pierre again suggested Biden had no advanced knowledge.

“Look, I’ll say this: the president and the White House learned about this FBI search from public reports,” she said. “We learned just like the American public did yesterday, and we did not have advanced notice of this activity.

As many Americans continue to express their concerns about government overreach, the White House’s strategy in dealing with this public relations nightmare is simple: deny, deny, deny.

——This raid did not happen without approval from Biden’s puppeteer.——

Now, there, post 15 is the correct answer.

That person must be found and destroyed. That person is an enemy of the Republic

Lying sonsofbitches!! The “raid” wasnt looking for specific evidence, it was fishing for any sort of a crime to keep quid pro joe from having to run against Trump.

“After retaining the records for 18 months, Trump was pretty clearly in violation of the Presidential Records Act.”

Yeh right, “pretty clear” .... you must know a lot ... more than all the talking head lawyers on television.

The WH is denying it because it is illegal for them to be involved in an ongoing investigation. They are lying.

Historians will discuss it, but this FBI “Wokestapo” raid was a clear demarcation line.

I couldn't believe it...less than an hour after I posted my remarks on "Biden crossing the Rubicon", David Axelrod said the same thing on CNN.

We have reached the point of no return on our republic, just as Caesar ended the Roman Republic by entering Italy with his soldiers.

I will no longer engage with people who support Biden or Democrats. They are the enemies of the Republic, to be fought every step of the way.

To those who disagreed/ridiculed my analogy, my simple retort is from Santayana: "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."

The FBI is the Deep State’s Praetorian Guard.

A former Presidents home gets raided for government documents and the sitting administration that absolutely hates him and had previously sworn to take him down by any means necessary doesn’t know anything about it. Riiiiiight...but predictable.

Where have I heard that before, oh yeah that was what the Kenyan Usurper used to say when something went amiss.

One of the perks of having a demented stooge as President. He can’t be held responsible for not remembering what his handlers told him to say or do. In fact, whatever he signed while President should be legally challenged. He is not of sound mind and not mentally competent. Does he really understand what he signs, says or does?

>>“...Why were the FBI armed?...”
>>They’re always armed.

I met an FBI agent at a party once. Her husband later said that she had been armed.

I can’t imagine where she was concealing it.

I think it is worse if Biden didn't know. I kind-a believe it.

The Deep State™ has gone rouge, is scared and is lashing out. They are completely feral and do not take orders from anyone. If the Deep State™ starts to detect the MSM and the Democrats do not have their back they will turn on them too. They are like rabid dogs.

Don’t be surprised by anything this administration or it’s weaponized alphabet departments do now and going forward. The complete overthrow and takeover of the US is underway.

We sure do live in interesting times.

Even I did not expect many things we are already seeing.

The demarcation is an attack on the Republican Party.

More important than an attack on an ex President is an attack on the current leader of the Republican Party. It can be theorized with considerable validity that the rogue FBI raid was intended to find important Republican Party plans.

By attacking the Republican party with a bogus court ordered FBI raid, all American history is upset because now every present and past Democrat Party official is in jeopardy. None are safe.

Barack Obama in his stolen hermitage in Martha’s Vineyard is now vulnerable.
