Merrick Garland just called Donald Trump's bluff (Barf Alert)
CNN ^ | 08/12/2022 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN) — For the last 72 hours, since the FBI conducted a search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, the former President has spouted any number of claims about what happened and why. He's said that Democrats led the search (they didn't) and raised the possibility that FBI agents might have planted evidence, without providing any proof of the allegation.
On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland struck back -- albeit in the limited way available to him as the head of the Justice Department still actively investigating the possibility that Trump took classified documents out of the White House and had them stored at his mansion in Florida.
Garland announced that he had asked a judge to unseal both the search warrant justifying Monday's search as well as the receipt of what was taken. ....
What Garland is doing is saying to Trump: You want to play hardball? I'm here for it.

Merrick Garfinckle runs the secret police state shock troops for the Marxist Junta and Propaganda CNN-MSM/SocialMedia that own the Democrat Party.

Open warfare has been declared

FBI will not protect homes of SC justices, will not touch Hunter CrackPipe, and are terrified of the truth from President Donald Trump - so they send 30 Secret Police Goons with military grade weapons to Raid the personal household of President Trump and his wife’s wardrobe. That is a gangster-style signal equal to a bloody horse head in the bed. We all know what that means.

Even if everything these lying bastards claim about what they were looking for, why it mattered, national security concerns, the urgency of recovering it, yada, yada, yada…..

There was absolutely no reason or justification whatsoever to send heavily armed agents. This is the American Gestapo pure and simple. And every single FBI agent everywhere is part of it. I don’t want to hear any “I’m just doing my job” crap. Or “..of course I don’t condone it, but I need my paycheck and my pension”. Then quit, or you do condone it.

The “I’m just doing my job” road starts with cops shutting down an 8-year old’s lemonade stand because she doesn’t have a permit and ends with the prison camp guards herding people into gas chambers.

The people aren’t fooled:

“Just received the strongest poll numbers I have ever gotten, and the largest amount of campaign contributions from the ‘people.’ The public gets the ‘Scam,’ but this time much earlier than all of the others!”

—Donald Trump

Can’t wait for Tuesday. Seeing Chaney get wiped out is going to be sweet...latest polls show her down by 30 points.

Liz is way behind in polls.

But what about how Dick Cheney’s ad for her is in heavy rotation on Fox News, and perhaps other channels? Won’t daddy’s endorsement put her over the top??

Sarcasm......

There is no proof the FIB poofters didn’t monkey with the evidence.

No, BeijingBiden ordered the raid by publicly telling Garland to get tougher on DJTrump. The WHouse outsourced its lies and attacks on this occasion.

By pointing out that evidence might be planted against him, it makes it harder for them to actually plant and use it.

Using the FBI to arrest your political rivals in is none of this; its tyranny.

Feds Who Raided Mar-a-Lago Are Under Investigation by John Durham . . . for Russiagate Hoax
https://thelibertydaily.com/feds-who-raided-mar-a-lago-are-under-investigation-by-john-durham-for-russiagate-hoax/

According to Sperry’s sources, some or all of those who raided Mar-a-Lago were also involved in the Russiagate scandal. They are currently under investigation by John Durham for possible crimes. They should have been recused from the raid altogether.

Knowing this, why would they be the ones involved? Certainly the FBI is aware that the agents and officials are under investigation regarding their handling of past hoaxes against Donald Trump. Is there something special about this particular unit? Are they the FBI’s “go-to bagmen” who do the dirty work for the Deep State?

Thanks. I remember reading that the FBI DC goon squad who raided mar-a-lago was led by an agent who was transferred to DC from the bumbling FBI team working on the alleged Whitmer kidnapping case in Michigan, but I can’t find that article now. Who knows. FR doesn’t allow article searches for FBI because it has only 3 letters (I think they should have left a few important 3 letter words as valid).
