There has been a great deal of confusion surrounding the raid of former President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago. On August 8, 2022, without warning, Trump’s property in Florida was stormed by the FBI, searching every room and closet. They ransacked the place for 9 hours. Rooms they searched included the closet of First Lady Melania Trump and even the room of 16-year-old Barron Trump. With the FBI claiming Trump possessed classified documents, it seemed that the Biden administration had no idea about the raid, but now, as more information comes out, the Biden White House might have been the ones to give the order.

Just one day after the raid, while White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre held a press conference, Zeke Miller of the Associated Press asked, “The FBI…served a search warrant on the [Trump’]s residence…Was [he] or anyone at the WH aware of that…or has [he] been briefed in the aftermath of that…being executed?”
The White House Press Secretary assured the American people, “No. The President was not briefed…No one at the WH was given a heads up.”
Almost a month after the raid, Judge Aileen Cannon granted a request by former President Donald Trump for a Special Master to review the documents taken from his home in Florida. While that isn’t breaking news, her ruling clearly shows that the Biden administration gave the orders and granted the FBI access to Trump’s property.
In the ruling, which can be read here, stated, “On April 12, 2022, NARA notified Plaintiff that it intended to provide the Fifteen Boxes to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) the following week [ECF No. 48 p. 5]. Plaintiff then requested an extension on the contemplated delivery so that he could determine the existence of any privileged material [ECF No. 48-1 p. 7]. The White House Counsel’s Office granted the request [ECF No. 48-1 p. 7].”
Not only did the Biden administration grant the order, but apparently, they knew about it going all the way back to April. While the Special Master overlooks the documents, the ruling from Judge Cannon forbids the Biden administration any access to the “seized material.”
After the FBI raid, Donald Trump released a statement suggesting the weaponization of the Department of Justice and FBI. “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections.”

Was there ever any question that biden was not deeply involved in this precedent setting action? Of course he was, his denials not withstanding.
Do I have suspicions that the FBI and DOJ have already been going through all the paperwork without a special master? Of course I do. And so should everyone else.
Do I trust the FBI and DOJ after the Russia, Russia, Russia investigation. Of course I don’t. And neither should anyone else.
What is it when a sitting president lies open faced about authorizing a raid upon an American citizen’s home? Do we not have sufficient evidence to prosecute and oust such a “leader?” How long will Americans put up with a treasonous president and administration?
A VERY good question Carl ! I wonder if the unbelievable patience of “We the People” will last long enough for the Demonrat-designed water-shortage to take “We the Peoples'” minds off the Biden administrations’ mendacity from Day 1 of this “occupation” of The White House.
From the viewpoint of the whole Watching World, America minute by minute steps backwards towards unlawfulness and treason – a situation not witnessed since The Founding Fathers set out our Constitution, the patent ignoring of which the present “administration” has made a daily ritual !
Them press secretary’s lie for a living
