"After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries."

"They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.... 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."

Or they're going to murder him.

rcocean said...

That's what you get for mean tweets Trump.

No Ex-POTUS has ever been treated this way. Why? Because the DC Republicans and people like CHeney and Bush don't care about norms and traditions.

If McConnell and McCarthy were making a stink about this persecution of Trump, it would be stopped. yet they remain silent. Bush, meanwhile, says nothing. Does not care about the instituion of the Presidency.

Its insane. But, look for Trump to be arrested soon. Thrown in Jail? I wouldn't put it past them.

An invitation extended, a riot ("disorder") forced, at least two unarmed women aborted in prone positions (i.e. cold-blooded murder), civil rights/due process denied, and a select committee to hold warlock trials for crimes committed ex post facto. Surely, an enlightened legal standard of evicting people... persons received then deemed unwanted.

Welcome to democratsy. Two trimesters before. 16 trimesters during. Seven trimesters since in progress. Civil rights die with a left-wing flourish.

there can be only one conclusion from this. Joe Biden will have his DOJ lacky charge Trump with a crime. The arrest is going to come before the midterms.

An escalation the Biden family or Democrats in general may come to regret. Remember the decision to eliminate the filibuster for Federal Judges? Introduced by Democrats; used and escalated by Republicans; regretted by Democrats. I think this is where we are headed.

Related: we can't eliminate election fraud until a Republican wins an election using fraudulent means.

JPS said...

I came across a tweet I found darkly hilarious. It asked if we have any idea of how much evidence and documentation there would have to be to authorize an operation like this.

And I thought, I would have found that much more convincing before the Clinton campaign successfully laundered made-up information they paid for through the DoJ to secure FISA warrants, which went through because they had allies in position to delete just the right "not" and invert what was known about Carter Page.

I've been thinking a lot more about high-trust and low-trust societies lately.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Stealing it a second time may be too formidable a challenge. Therefore, they must get him out of the way by whatever means necessary. I see these desperate measures as more evidence that Biden is hiding something. If it's not the stolen election, it's the son's corruption, using his father's name and it was probably all known to Biden himself.

It's a big unforced error. Trump is legendary for not keeping anything written down. At the white house there were people assigned to go thru the garbage and piece together the shredded Trump presidential papers.

This must be known to them. It's an open secret. So, what's the play? Why make such a risky move?

For one thing it says the Jan6 committee, and the jailing of hundreds of Americans, have produced zero, zilch, nada.

The Trump raid is a hail-mary. And they are making it up as they go.

God help us.

Temujin said...

Months ago it looked like a massive Red Wave in November. Then time passed, and then the abortion ruling which got Dems riled up occurred. And it looked like, right up to yesterday, the Dems were possibly closing things up- particularly in the Senate.

But now forget it. This country is seething tonight. Millions of people are seething. Enough. Enough of destroying our country, our culture, our civil society, our schools, our military, our economy, our Republic, our lives. Now there will be a bloodbath in November. There will be an onslaught. There will be a Red Wave heard around the world. And if the goal is to prevent Trump from getting in, unless he's in jail, they've pretty much guaranteed him the nomination and election. (remember, his totals last election would have won any other election in history. There won't be a covid clause to change election rules this time. And no mysterious polling places closing up late at night.)

I used to write here regularly that there should not be another Democrat elected for two generations. I maintain that.

Either Trump wins the next election, or if they prevent him from running, DeSantis wins and starts the house cleaning. The government needs cleaning out or this country is done.

"A Republic. If you can keep it."

"In 2001, Khodorkovsky founded Open Russia, a reform-minded organization intending to "build and strengthen civil society" in the country. In October 2003, he was arrested by Russian authorities and charged with fraud.[3] The government under Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, then froze shares of Yukos shortly thereafter on tax charges. Putin's government took further actions against Yukos, leading to a collapse of the company's share price and the evaporation of much of Khodorkovsky's wealth. In May 2005, he was found guilty and sentenced to nine years in prison." (Wiki)

Do ya'll remember in the 2016 election debates when Donald Trump promised the American people that, if elected, he'd put Hillary Clinton in jail for her crimes while Secretary of State?
Remembert when she set up an illegal email server to avoid our open records laws and started passing around Top Secret emails to all her pervert friends like serial pedophile Anthony Weiner (who still walks the streets of New York a free man?

Remember that?

And then he Trump didn't do it. He never put her in jail.

These are the chickens Donald Trump left uncooked. Coming home to roost.

I hope he's paying attention so that, should he ever become President again, he doesn't make the same mistake twice.

YoungHegelian said...

I hope the FBI is investigated by the FEC for this massive in-kind donation to the Re-Elect Donald J. Trump Campaign. /sarc

Seriously, unless the FBI finds a major, major, major smoking gun, the Democrats & FBI just got Trump re-elected. His pitch "This is what they did to an ex-president, while ignoring what Hillary & the Biden family did. They want to add 80,000 new IRS agents. Guess who they'll be targeted at? The only person who will stand between you and the new Democratic Stasi is me."

Sadly, it's true.

PS: I worked at the Executive Office of the President in IT support for ten years. EVERY president & their staffers are sloppy as shit about preserving documents and records. All of them, Democrat & Republican, hated the idea that everything they wrote or said had to go to the National Archives after they left office. There's a Starbucks near the White House that gets a lot of visits by WH staff. Guess why? You can meet with anyone there and there's no record of what you said and no record of who signed in as a WH guest.

“raid on my home“

By home, I assume Donald Trump means the Mar-A-Lago hotel and resort that he owns, often vacations at, uses as an office while on vacation, and fraudulently claimed as his primary residence to vote in Florida in the 2020 election.

"They even broke into my safe!”

Unforced error by Trump. It’s going to be lots of fun speculating on what the FBI found in that safe. Keepsake bras and panties? A copy of the pee tape? Naked selfies? Copies of Althouse blog posts?

“What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee?”

Nixon didn’t go to court and get a warrant.

“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before."

If, as the New York Times is reporting, the warrant relates to mishandling of classified documents, there is the precedent of the prosecution of former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger. By saying this happened to him, is Trump confessing to mishandling the documents himself?

Original Mike said...

I await the FBI's raiding of Hillary's home. Oh that's right, she Bleach-Bitted her classified documents.

The D's started a civil war before because they were desperate to hold on to their power and privilege. I see no reason they wouldn't do it again.

Karen of Texas says what I was going to say--and Young Hegelian brings up a very important point about the reality of keeping records and how to avoid doing it.

OTOH it's the easiest thing in the world for the investigators now to find whatever they need to find. Almost like evidence made-to-order.

And we've learned from the FISA court scams that Federal judges don't mind being lied to by The Organs. Warrants made-to-order.

This clarifies much and provides what Hitch would have called "a promising sign of polarization."

They have been running State Sponsored lies like Russia Collusion and Sicknick blood libel for years.

They tried to assassinate a supreme court justice a few years after shooting up the Republican softball practice.

It is all out in the open now.

We all kneeled in 2020 and let the Biden Regime seize power in an obviously corrupt election. And they have acted like an illegitimate fascist regime. Censorship and political repression are openly practiced. They have been overtly violent with their crazies, their paid for BLM/Antifa thugs, and with Regime Police.

I can already see the kneelers prepping to kneel some more right here.

I will be interested to see if the Nevertrumpers keep calling for Trump to bow out of the primary.

You all just got kneecapped. Going to be even more embarrassing for you to support Desantis at this point. But Desantis is going to back Trump 100%.

Achilles said...

Buckwheathikes said...

If the next Republican President of the United States (looking at you Ron DeSantis) doesn't abolish the FBI, that's how you'll know they aren't really Republican. Or the President.

Desantis is going to openly back Trump. He has from the start and he wont Run if Trump runs. He wont undercut Trump by running in states that ban Trump from the ballot. He has said it repeatedly and in very blunt language.

At this point the only Republicans that run against Trump while DC is trying to keep him off the ballot are traitors. They are only concerned about themselves and they will play ball with the DC Regime.

At this point if you accept that DC can keep Trump from running and support someone else the Republic is over with.

Desantis wont Abolish the FBI. He wont be able to because the country will have accepted they have the power to arrest political opponents. And Desantis also understands what is at stake here.

It is time for you people to decide what you are made of.

The FBI is untrustworthy. The evidence is in the Carter Page FISAs; in the Gretchen Whitmer "kidnapping plot" that had at least 12 FBI CI's; in the handling of Gymnastics Coach molestation case, to name just three. The FBI is rotten through and through.

My inclination is that this is a political hit job. I will need to see proof-not evidence-but proof-that a treasonous or seditious crime has been committed. The FBI can't just be looking for evidence- the justification for this has to be as clear as shooting someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight.

I will invoke the 48 hour rule. After that, my first protest will be to reduce my Federal tax withholding to as close to zero as I can.

DINKY DAU 45 said...

On anniversary of Nixon's resignation in 1974 for crimes, FBI raids the former presidents Mara Logo resort involving the removing of 15 cases of classified materials supposed to be resigned for the Presidential records archives, the people's property. The Executive and legislative branches plus a magistrate and at least a deputy attorney general had to be involved. It is a crime to remove or destroy documents belonging to the American people. Historians will be writing a new chapter. This is just one of several investigations the former president is involved in and has been going on since at least February. The government has different ways of getting materials they need, voluntary,
a subpoena or like today a search warrant (when trust to get information needed is absent) The warrant has to be specific that a crime has been committed and must be convincing to a judge Magistrate Attorney general etc.it will be at the place of the served warrant. More to come. Classified information in wrong hands can be a national security risk. It seems time for talking over documents was over.

Chris Lopes said...

"Nixon didn’t go to court and get a warrant."

The warrant doesn't make it any less a political witch hunt. I understand how people who were willing to turn impeachment into just another tool of political partisanship wouldn't have a problem with raiding a former president's residence for similar partisan purposes. I just don't think they are thinking through things clearly. Orange the Clown isn't the first political figure to hate the ruling class and he won't be the last. The next one will actually know what he/she is doing and will use the tools Trump's opponents are using against them. Punishing the loser of an election sets a very bad precedent.

Mr Wibble said...

My theory is that this was a response to internal polling which shows the Dems facing a bloodbath in November. The normies aren't happy with the Biden admin, but neither are the progressive base. The former is looking at the GOP, while the latter is threatening to sit out the election. Raiding Trump was a fishing expedition to find something to use to taint him, and by extension his endorsed candidates, in the hopes of depressing the GOP vote. It was also red meat thrown to the base to keep them happy and willing to turn out and vote dem.

cfs said...

The left and the deep state want a war with the right and they can't understand why the evil conservatives have yet to start one. They allowed BLM to march in the street committing felonies and destroy businesses. They have released all the criminals to commit mayhem on city streets. They have flooded the nation with low IQ illegal aliens and deadly drugs. They have used feds as pretend conservatives to show that "those" people are really Putin supporters and Nazi's. They have locked up conservatives in prison for almost two years over misdemeanor charges, withheld exculpatory evidence and still, conservatives have obeyed the laws and paid their taxes on time.

That's just a small list of what his been done RECENTLY. Let's don't start with the Clinton and Biden families' crimes.

I suspect this action is a final attempt to push conservatives over the edge before the election this November. And, to make sure Trump can't run in 2024. Now, they will start to work on DeSantis.

Of course it didn't. Just like those clowns on 1/6/21, you think you will be seen as patriots and the system will follow the rules in handling you. You won't and they won't. You will be the excuse for calling off the election, or letting only DoJ approved parties count the votes. Please keep in mind that Red Dawn was only a movie.

gadfly said...

I don't suppose it is possible that the Library of Congress completed work on identifying missing secret documents taken from the White House to Trump's home and never returned. We know that the librarians visited Mar-A-Lago and talked to Trump lawyers about returning the very secret docs only to be ignored. So the next step was to request that the documents be seized via a warrant and the FBI is the enforcement agency that does the seizing.

These actions required severe documentation by the DOJ and approval by a Federal Judge in the Palm Beach area who is a Trump appointee. It would also be interesting to see a copy of the warrant that Donald Trump has in his possession.

But Ken White over at Popehat believes that there is more going on, else AG Garland would never have approved such action. Perhaps there is a whistleblower at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach?

Heatshield said...

Collusion made it difficult for him to govern and Ukraine gave us a D house.

This is a warning to anyone who follows Trump. They will do this to you.

It matters at the level of power which can counter the corruption at the very top. I've only been observing Wisconsin politics since Evers took office, At all other levels--especially local--it has been a continuing disappointment for liberals and any one who smells like Biden. I'm talking school boards and dogcatchers. This percolates up to state legislature, and ultimately Senate and Congressional representation. The libs erred when they encouraged Madison to churn and burn. People were watching. And without COVID, it's going to be harder to cheat in the fall.

As for Michaels vs. Kleefisch--it doesn't matter--neither one is a Biden lackey like Tony Evers is.

Hillary Clinton had a private server and bleach bit 30,000 classified emails, and she paid for the fake dossier that started the whole Russian Collusion hoax, yet she is still walking free. Many Famous men abused young girls provided to them by Jeffrey Epstein, and they are still walking free and hidden because of this corrupt DOJ and FBI. Fire them all. THIS is why we need Trump again, because the Republicans will pretend they are bothered, but NOTHING will ever change. We live in a Banana Republic now, thanks to the Democrats. Happy Cloward and Piven!!!

There are some really big fish in the Democrat establishment that are scared to death of something. So scared that they think this is better than the alternative. Can't be Biden. He can't even figure out how to put his jacket on without help. Obama? Hillary?

Courts have already shut down states attempting limiting ballot access.

"I can already see the kneelers prepping to kneel some more right here."

Not wanting to get into a civil war is not "being kneecapped". Did it ever occur to you though guy that the folks who did this actually want you and your fellow Rambros to act so they can come down on you and use your stupidity as an excuse to tighten their grip? Of course it didn't. Just like those clowns on 1/6/21, you think you will be seen as patriots and the system will follow the rules in handling you. You won't and they won't. You will be the excuse for calling off the election, or letting only DoJ approved parties count the votes. Please keep in mind that Red Dawn was only a movie.

I was thinking more like the trucker protest.

But I understand you need to find a way to justify your kneeling and doing nothing so you stand up a straw man just like the dems do when they have nothing and can't justify their garbage.

Nothing makes me happier than to watch all of your heads explode this lovely Tuesday morning. What's the plan Achilles? You aren't going to kneel? What's the plan? Find some Democrats (any will do) and kill them? Nah. You're too big a pussy. Sitting at your computer and snacking on pork rinds writing some threatening comments anonymously on blogs is more your speed.

Not seeing the search warrant and affidavit it's hard to tell what's going on - right? It may concern the confidential government records that he took with him contrary to the law. The Archives "retrieved" some of them a couple months ago. What if the Archives got some tip that he kept some that he knew he was required to return. A search is clearly appropriate since he has already demonstrated that he won't voluntarily comply. But I don't know because like you I haven't seen the warrant - approved by a judge in the S.D. Florida.


You do realize I hope that Trump despises you as much as you deify him. He didn't want any wounded warriors at his military parades because it would make him look bad. I'm sure few if any of him would be allowed near one of his resorts were it up to him. Face it - you're not his kind of people. He has raised literally hundreds of millions since the election. How much of that has he spent helping those arrested on January 6 because of his lies. He is getting richer off of their destroyed lives.

As for Hillary - Trumps' DOJ had four years to investigate and prosecute her. Only five year olds think that the bad acts of one person excuse the bad-criminal-acts of another.

And you fail to show how what happened yesterday will impact the partisan primary today.

I get it, you hate Evers. But that election is November. Most if not all school board races were last spring.

How does this effect the partisan primary today in a meaningful way?

Can't believe that of all the things to go after they pick classified documents. And we all know Hilary did the exact same thing and they ignored it. But NOW they care?

Russell said...

So, the outfit that couldn't bother to thoroughly investigate Hillary Clinton's passing of classified info on her personal e-mail server is invading Trump's home because he supposedly has classified documents there?

I can't shake the feeling that the purpose of this raid was entirely to gaslight Trump into declaring for 2024 before the midterms with a dual purpose: allowing the midterms to be all about Trump (which works out better for the Dems because Trump IS terrible and is damaged goods). And they need Trump to declare under the hopes that is dissuades actually viable opponents like Desantis (never mind a Nikki Haley or Tim Scott or Tom Cotton) from themselves throwing their hat into the 2024 ring sometime next year.

We have like six or seven years of evidence that the FBI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC. You don't think it's possible that the FBI was acting for POLITICAL purpose here, instead of a legal one?

You mean the corrupt DOJ and FBI that have been lying to us since before Trump became President?? That YOU trust any of them just tells me you are okay with authoritarianism that you claimed TRUMP would be....but you are okay when YOUR side is actually doing what your side claimed TRUMP would do. Enjoy the downfall. They will come for YOU too.

We have watched you lie for years. You lied about Russian Collusion. You lied about Hunters laptop. You lied about Brian Sicknick. You lied about Ukrainian corruption. The list goes on.

You are just a piece of shit liar jim.

All of you are just shitty douchebag liars. Nobody will believe anything the FBI "finds." You couldn't be more transparent and pathetic.




jim projects his hate. You are just a piece of shit with Joe Biden as your leader.

Only a piece of shit like you could support a rapist like Joe Biden.

As for Hillary - Trumps' DOJ had four years to investigate and prosecute her. Only five year olds think that the bad acts of one person excuse the bad-criminal-acts of another.

We all know what Hillary did. She downloaded material from SIPR and other classified sources and put it on her personal computer. Then she wiped it during the investigation.

Service people are in jail for doing that once. She did it over 30000 times.

You support a justice system with 2 sets of rules. Equal Justice is a foundational principle of this country.

You are just a supporter of an illegitimate regime and you are filled with hate.

You are no better than the Taliban thugs I fought. Worse because you were born to freedom you don't deserve and want to destroy.

Trump can't possibly despise me as much as I despise him, that's a metaphysical impossibility. Despite that, I can see the long term damage using the DOJ for partisan political purposes will do. If you think this stops with Orange the Clown, you are crazy. A precedent has been set and this tactic will be used again by people you don't like against people you do. Once again we are burning down the house to get to the burglar.

Mark chided: And you fail to show how what happened yesterday will impact the partisan primary today.

It occurred to me after voting today in Wisconsin that one objective measurable effect would be to disclose how many unaffiliated voters chose Republican ballots instead of Democrat ballots today. Don't know if that would skew heavily R but I think it just might. Who doesn't want to be a Republican for a day to help save the Republic from the Autocrats in DC?
