Daily Broadside | There’s A Lot About the Raid That Really Doesn’t Make Sense

Daily Verse | Isaiah 62:12
They will be called the Holy People,
    the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
    the City No Longer Deserted.

Thursday’s Reading: Isaiah 63-66

Thursday and the FBI’s panty raid on Trump’s personal residence keeps getting weirder and weirder. As disturbing as it is, Very Important People are disavowing any foreknowledge of the event and the pretext for the raid itself is beginning to look shaky.

The first black LBGTQ+ spokespyrson insists that Brandon only learned about the raid from the newspapers (just like Barack Hussein Obama did with many of his scandals, including the Fast & Furious gun-running operation).

If that’s true, then heads should roll, don’t you think? I mean, they didn’t give the current Resident a heads up that they were going to raid his predecessor’s—and likely future opponent’s—home?!? For the first time in American history? Breaking with 250 years of precedent?

No?

Oh, and even Merrick Garland supposedly didn’t know about the raid. “Garland had no prior knowledge of the date and time of the specific raid, nor was he asked to approve it.

Here’s the rest of the stuff that is looking hinky at this point.

  1. The judge who approved the warrant, Bruce E. Reinhart, is a former US Attorney who went to work for Jeffrey Epstein in the middle of the investigation, donated $2,000 to Barack Hussein Obama’s presidential campaign and PAC, and was appointed a Federal Magistrate. Nothing here that would suggest bias!
  2. The FBI was ostensibly looking for classified materials that Trump took with him after leaving office. Sources also said National Archives and Records Administration referred the case to the Justice Department, which recovered 15 boxes of classified materials from the home.  But the FBI had already looked through the boxes back in May and had not taken anything then.
  3. I they were looking for classified documents, then they were looking in the wrong place because “we’ve known for months now that the documents in question were already declassified by then-President Trump,” according to Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official.
  4. That Trump had the documents may have been the result of an administrative error outside of his team. “A legal source said that the boxes had been packed up by the General Services Administration and shipped to Mar-a-Lago when Trump left office in January 2020.

In the same Newsweek article above that distances Garland from the raid:

The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI’s deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump’s Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away.

FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform from which to grandstand (or to attempt to thwart the raid) would lower the profile of the event, says one of the sources, a senior Justice Department official who is a 30-year veteran of the FBI.

The effort to keep the raid low-key failed: instead, it prompted a furious response from GOP leaders and Trump supporters. “What a spectacular backfire,” says the Justice official.

The article goes on to say, “some 10-15 boxes of documents were removed from the premises. Donald Trump said in a statement that the FBI opened his personal safe as part of their search. Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan, who was present during the multi-hour search, says that the FBI targeted three rooms—a bedroom, an office and a storage room. That suggests that the FBI knew specifically where to look.”

They fail to mention that they also went through Melania’s wardrobe, which apparently wasn’t targeted, yet they specifically looked there.

Perverts.

The FBI needs to be disbanded and defunded. As does the DOJ and the IRS because what we’re witnessing is the centralization and consolidation of power in the hands of an unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy—exactly what the separation of powers that our Founders so wisely created was intended to prevent.

I’ll say it again: America as founded is dead. There isn’t any going back; you can’t undo what has now been done. The Democrats are the enemy of the people and must be destroyed at the voting booth. As I wrote yesterday, it’s important that the Right doesn’t respond violently to the provocation.

If New York Times reporting is right — and they never err on the side of being soft on Trump — then this raid was over documents the National Archives thinks Trump should not have, or perhaps classified documents in his possession. That is not something the FBI raids major political candidates over — See, In Re Hillary Rodham Clinton.

This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. See, In Re J6.

It’s a distressing time to be a patriot but be patriots we must.
