Threats from an AG!

The Washington Post deleted a tweet promoting one of its stories on Wednesday that suggested Attorney General Merrick Garland “politicized” the Department of Justice by authorizing an FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“Garland vowed to depoliticize Justice. Then the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago,” read the headline of a story written by Justice Department reporter Perry Stein.
The headline in the tweet sparked outrage on Twitter, which apparently prompted the Jeff Bezos-owned broadsheet to remove the tweet and re-post it using a different headline.
“No, he’s in the middle of unraveling a crime spree committed by the former president of the United States. There…fixed it for you,” one Twitter user wrote.
“This is so embarrassing I worry for the future of journalism,” another Twitter commenter said of the original headline.
Jay Rosen, who teaches journalism at New York University, said the original headline was “painfully under-thought” because it “seemed to say that Garland was shifting course and unduly politicizing DOJ.
The original tweet by The Washington Post generated backlash. @washingtonpost Clarification: A previous tweet of this story had a headline that has changed after publishing. We’ve deleted the tweet.
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) August 10, 2022 The newspaper on Wednesday posted a tweet which read: “Clarification: A previous tweet of this story had a headline that has changed after publishing. We’ve deleted the tweet.”
The new headline reads: “FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago lands Merrick Garland in a political firestorm.”
FBI agents on Monday searched Trump’s Palm Beach estate — marking the first time that federal investigators descended on the private residence of a former president.
The raid was conducted as part of an ongoing federal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents that were apparently removed from the White House in the waning days of his presidency.

Trump is also the subject of a federal inquiry into the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters mobbed the US Capitol as Congress was in session to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.
Jay Rosen is a Lefty POS who sells his garbage on the Twittsewer and elsewhere.
He openly advocates for turning news into Lefty opinion pieces.
“No, he’s in the middle of unraveling a crime spree committed by the former president of the United States. There…fixed it for you,”
Of course they never mention what the crime spree is or any evidence to support it.
Even the tiniest display of a spine in the media is promptly pounced on, then Withdrawn. The joker in the article who fears for the future of journalism is about 40 years too late. That’s putting it charitably, but for myself I mark the start of the media’s descent into madness with the Reagan administration
Democracy just died in darkness.
“suggested Attorney General Merrick Garland “politicized” the Department of Justice by authorizing an FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.”
Politicized no, weaponized yes.
Someone has to pay a price. (See 0bama and Holder for more details)

Like Stalin did to Trotsky, these rich idiots like Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc don’t realize they’ll be next.
Run for president and your term is up you will have to leave the country to a country that doesn’t have extradition to the United States. Obama took 30 thousand pages when his chocolate ass left the White House. Here is the good news when we take back the White House in 2024 we’re going to go after Michelle Obama. And we will finally find out whether she wears boxers or briefs.
The stench of the ComPost makes it all the way to California.
If Michaels house gets raided I don’t think the FBI will be going after his panties.
Systematic Injustice.
Is it Vishinsky or is it Garland ?
Is it Vishinky or is it Garland?
Inquiring minds want to know.
“Democracy dies in darkenss” is a mission statement.
Compare this AG, “Heinrich Himmler wannabe” Garland to the previous AG, Keebler Elf Jeff Sessions.
Trump was burdened with an absolute milquetoast attorney general for two years until Sessions was fired for incompetence. Sessions did nothing during the FAKE RUSSIA RUSSIA investigation that would have implicated the FBI malfeasance.
Now the illegitimate Biden puppet masters install a filthy corrupt troglodyte attorney general who runs roughshod over the constitution.
And the media (along with Dick Cheney) accuses Trump of being a dictator and the greatest danger to America. We are living in very bizarre times.
Can’t print the truth.
It’s already dead or perhaps on life support. What do you think‘s coming next?. Forced submission, a fisted dictatorship and a government hell bent on you worshipping at their altar! Obey or you’ll be imprisoned or gassed. Yep, it’s going to get much much worse.
