Who’s in charge of this country? Who’s controlling the various federal agencies? We are heading into a nes amperage of tyranny where the lower ranks of the federal government are out of control and making decisions in a decentralized power structure. Very dangerous.

Would be nice if team Trump had swapped out those docs for pages printed from Hunter’s laptop with a nice pervy Hunter pic on the top of each pile so that it’s the first thing they see when they open the box.

And they flew down from DC. I have worked as a contractor for a couple of government agencies, and I can tell you they don’t buy coffee filters without someone signing off on the purchase. So, to think that 30 FBI agents boarded a plane in DC fully armed, rented vehicles in Miami or appropriated them from the Miami office, bought gas and flew back with no receipts and no signed requisition from some low-level accountant or procurement officer is BS.

[usconservative]

I call bullshit.

So PDJT should just remove that worry from their little heads, i.e., that bad stuff might come out in a trial. By the end of this week, he should release everything. Publish every doc on Truth Social. See ... problem gone. Nothing left to be exposed in a trial.

It absolutely must come out, and in a way that causes maximum damage politically AND can still be used for prosecution in the harshest way possible, up to and including for treason with death penalty .

Garland approved it.

My dumb a$$ brother in law thinks it’s all the gospel.
Says he wants Trump and every person associated with him thrown in jail.

This him?

the FBI had a confidential source at Mar-a-Lago,

Same source that told them the Russian dossier was 100% accurate. The FBI has become one big lot of corrupt buffoons.

[GingisK]

I fear both are the case.

[GingisK]

I have a younger brother just like yours. My life improved significantly by not communicating with him.

[Mr. K]

If this is true every person involved should be fired immediately, AND prosecuted for deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

They were there to cover the DOJ, Biden, and the FBI butt by getting a declassified documents that were dangerous if leaked to the public.

Yes this was a document eradication raid — no different than burying the Clinton server, Hunter’s laptop, or Ashley’s diary.

It’s to stop the exposure of their corruption, and that only…

[SMARTY]

I don’t believe he didn’t authorize it

Ah, yes: Colonel Flagg. The original Deep Stater. Though at least he was more patriotic than the ones today.

"if Garland didn't approve it, who did?!"
The article said:
"It claims that AG Merrick Garland was being updated on the National Archives investigation and knew about the grand jury but did not approve the search Monday. Newsweek’s source claims Garland had “no prior knowledge” of the time of the raid. Instead it was FBI Director Christopher Wray who approved the search."

[jpp113]

Didn’t Garland say he approved it on nationwide TV today?

[MayflowerMadam]

He did.
