There’s a large region of the right-wing media ecosystem that is littered with those always-disappointing carbon-snake fireworks. Touch one of them with a spark and it springs to life, pushing out an unbroken chain of detritus. Eventually it dies out, leaving a mess, but there are other sparks and other snakes still to be lit.
On Tuesday, filings from Donald Trump’s federal indictment served as a spark. The mess that followed was unusual only in its hyperbole: because the FBI included documentation about how to handle contingencies in its August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago, including limiting the use of firearms, this meant that the FBI — no, Attorney General Merrick Garland — no, President Biden himself! — wanted to have Trump killed. This was not true, but for a political movement centered around a presidential candidate who casts himself as a victim, the idea was irresistible.
“Newly-released court documents reveal that Joe Biden’s DOJ authorized the use of DEADLY FORCE in its raid of President Trump’s home,” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), a fervent Trump ally, wrote on social media. “This is insane & this is what the political weaponization of our federal government looks like in real time.”
It wasn’t insane; when the bureau executes any search, there is some chance that things might go south. So there are standard procedures and verbiage to set expectations about how such problems might be handled. But this isn’t as exciting or politically useful as “why did Biden personally try to shoot Donald Trump?” The spark created a chain of detritus.
Usually, these flare-ups remain unexamined. But when Donalds joined CNN host Abby Phillip on Thursday, she pressed him on this one.

Remember the Hillary hard drive that got "wiped" while under subpoena? Where was the DOJ then to protect the evidence?
Reality?
The WaPo and CNN? Failed journalists who’d struggle to pass a fifth grade exam on anything?
Bwahahahahahahahah!
There was no need for the raid in the first place
Philip Bumpstock, whoever he / she / it is, is full of crap.
And he uses the term “right-wing” media. “Right-wing” media is a pejorative term.
Does he use the term left-wing media to describe CNN, MSNBC,
ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, his precious Washington Post, etc. etc.? No.
And President Trump IS a victim. No raids or criminal trials of Bill Clinton, the shrew Hillary Rotten Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, Joey Biden, etc.

Ya mean like the manufactured Alito flag scandal meant to undermine the Supreme Court? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I wondered what ‘special knowledge’ that qualified him to write this crap.
Ya gotta have a raid! Otherwise how will the IC plant evidence?
The “Reality” is that Jao BiXiden is in office.
WHO says it isn’t true???
There is NOTHING Biden & WAY & Garland would NOT do to remove Trump.
From the article: “Phillip noted that the FBI’s search for classified documents at properties owned by Joe Biden included similar language.”
First I have read the the same language was in the Biden warrant.
The reality is that a fully armed raid was conducted against an ex president. Full auto armed. You know, guns, helmets, goggles, body armor. For some papers that most other ex presidents possess. Guns. Boombooms. Guns. FECKING GUNS!
And then they staged the photos, it was a all for show. The lemmings bought it, just like this sham trial in NYC. Kangaroo court is an understatement. I pray for a good outcome but I’m somewhat resigned.
Has the WP yet apologized for participating in and perpetuating the Russia collusion hoax? Sorry, but I don’t believe a word of WPs reporting on Trump. Not worth pondering.
Gee....I have the luxury of choosing both at the same time...in the same package! OTOH,some Americans...and wetbacks...will choose a guy who claims his uncle was eaten by cannibals.
This BS might work if we forget that Trump was President before Biden and has a track record.
By all means, let’s compare the economy, standard of living, immigration, inflation, militarism, debt increase, government encroachments on civil rights and freedom, weaponized judiciary, etc. under Biden versus Trump.
Trump IS Reality...
That was claimed by Garland but no proof has been shown. The leftist media is just repeating the claim unsubstantiated. Note however that Smith has not claimed this to Judge Canon. If it were really true, Smith would be making that claim in court and backing it up with evidence.
According to the WP, this has been verified by two anonymous sources.
According to my LEO friends who work closely with the FBI, the “deadly force clause” is standard in federal court search warrants. They all concur, however, that there is nothing standard about a warrant to search the property of a former POTUS, who is surrounded by secret service agents sworn to protect the POTUS at all costs, and there is nothing standard about the AG, himself (as opposed to the United States Attorney for the district court having jurisdiction over the proceeding), signing the warrant application.
