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.

“The Buck Never Got Here!”

Although part of me thinks McConnell is the one who pushed the idea of the raid, after the GOPe has been getting smoked in the primaries.

I’m telling you, for the next two years that should be the primary focus of every conservative candidate.

1) The Democrat’s FBI raided former President Trump’s home.
2) The Democrat’s Justice Department went after parents at school board meetings.
3) Democrats have now hired 87,000 more IRS agents and they will go after their political enemies and anyone who disagrees with them. Think Lois Lerner.

You keep relaxing. But I know what the answer is all of us knows knows what the answer is. Climate change made them do it. Yes climate change once again.

I SO wish that some brave reporter would ask Plugs or his spokesperson - “Will you be okay when the next Republican President raids YOUR private home after you’re out of office?…”

I know… dumb wish that’ll never happen..

Easy question tho…

It's bad if Biden knew; it's worse if he didn't know. It means that a bureaucratic Deep State is operating without regard to the elected government that supposed to be in charge.

But, yeah, Biden knew.

The thing is, the timing of this couldn’t be worse for Biden. He had the momentum, there was validity to what they were saying about him having the best few weeks of his Presidency.

Which is why I think some Republicans were the big pushers for this.

“Garland and Wray may have to be sacrificed.”

As soon as Roberts is forced out over his illegal adoptions, Garland will be CJ for the next 20 years.

Just think about Comey and Trump...and their meeting and Comey running to his limo and madly typing "grounds" to use against Trump....naming Flynn in particular.

I believe Obama had a substantial relationship with the FBI and DOJ.

The left doesn’t fear us but knows they’re vulnerable.

Some of us know what that means, as we know what they intend to do to us.

Some of us have already gone gray.

I’ll accept Biden didn’t know. He doesn’t know what day of the week it is. But there is no way the WH didn’t know.

The White House isn't panicking. They are just publicly placing a wall between the raid and the President.
