"President" Biden Coordinated with the FBI Raid on Donald Trump, His Likely Opponent

Mitch McConnell will do nothing. He's in on it.

The "special access request" can only be made about FBI investigations when the information directly concerns White House business.

The White House demanded information about the classified documents frame-up and the raid itself -- thereby admitting with that very request that the raid was "White House business."

Then they lied about having no knowledge of the raid. Of course.

New information is being uncovered regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation's unprecedented raid of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home last year. According to America First Legal (AFL), a judicial watchdog, an investigation of the raid confirmed that the FBI gained access to NARA records through a "special access request" made by the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice.
"On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there. According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were "stunned" to hear of this development," AFL begins in a press release. "However, new NARA records obtained through America First Legal's investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirmed that the FBI obtained access to these records through a 'special access request' from the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice (DOJ)."
According to AFL, it appears that "the Biden White House and DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of the 'special access request.'"
In addition to confirming that the White House was involved in setting up Trump, AFL also proves that the National Archives misled Congress about the role the White House played in the raid.
"This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House's role in the shocking raid of President Trump's home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting "on behalf of" the DOJ raises significant legal concerns," explains AFL. "The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president only when the records in question are needed for 'the conduct of current business' of the White House. Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the 'current business' of the White House."

Benny Johnson also reminds us that the FBI scheduled the raid for the last possible day it could schedule the raid, for maximum impact on the 2022 elections.

The FBI has a policy that it will not take big prosecution actions against political figures within 90 days of an election.

So Merrick Garland scheduled the raid for ninety-one days before the 2022 elections.

/1 THREAD -- records obtained from our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirm that the FBI obtained access to these records through a "special access request" from the Biden White House on behalf of the DOJ.
Link.

/2 On August 8, 2022, the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there.
According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were surprised to hear of this development.
/3 However, the new records we obtained from our investigation into the circumstances of the Mar-a-Lago raid reveal the Biden White House & DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of a "special access request."
/4 What this means is that there are substantial discrepancies between what the Archives has told Congress and what appears in its internal communications...
/5 For example, Acting Archivist Debra Wall told @RepMikeTurner
on August 16, 2022, that NARA "had not been involved in the DOJ investigation or any searches that it has conducted."
/6 This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House's role in the shocking raid of President Trump's home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting "on behalf of" the DOJ raises significant legal concerns.
/7 The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president ONLY when the records in question are needed for "the conduct of current business" of the White House...
/8 ...Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the "current business" of the White House.
/9 Accordingly, America First Legal is
demanding NARA turn over records related to the Biden White House's involvement in the politically motivated raid of President Trump's home.

He doesn't.

This persistent notion that the left is terribly frightened of Trump, us, etc. and thus lashes out desparately is comforting fiction. He's simply an enemy and he is treated as one treats enemies. Conservatives fail to understand this because they've spent 20 or 30 years being above having any enemies themselves or admitting that they are viewed and treated as such by others.

44 I'm sticking with my theory that Garland wasn't told about the raid until after it occurred. Hence why it took four days for him to come out and give a statement: he had to be convinced to go out and eat a bowl of shit on national TV, when it was clear that people were pissed about the raid.

It wouldn't surprise me if the DOJ response was to tell Biden's folks, "we know that there are classified documents outstanding. Turn them back over right now." Hence why Biden's lawyers were packing up boxes.

Johnson answered, “I think there’s no question that this is a politically motivated attack on abortion access across the nation, and the case itself is completely unprecedented, but I do want to offer a little bit of caution here. We are literally in a situation, after we just watched the amazing video in Tennessee a couple of minutes ago, where the opposition is clear that they want to sacrifice democracy. They want to sacrifice the institutions, the very processes that we rely on to have safe voting, safe access to medication, safe access to keeping our communities safe, and they are willing to sacrifice those institutions in the name of power. And I think we go down a very slippery slope when we say that we are willing to do the same thing.”

Look at how corrupt our ruling class has become. There are dozens if not hundreds of crimes listed on the Hunter laptop alone. And Joe is far from the only corrupt POS in DC.

But Trump is not one of them. For all his faults the guy is a Boy Scout compared to these scumbags and their multi-generational scams. They are all rich as oligarchs and it wasn't on government money.

Yea, Trump scares the shit out of them because he hates them, they can't control him and he can beat them without extraordinary levels of cheating.

112 I am not certain why anyone is surprised. We've effectively been living under a coup since the last election, which was fixed both through governors unconstitutional actions, mail in ballots and outright fraud. Nobody in the Republican Party has the courage to address it, and in particular the senate has condoned it. This has only emboldened Democrats to continue stomping on our liberties, The Bill of Rights and the dismantling of our institutions. They just keep pushing ahead in order to ensure the next elections outcome where they install Gavin Newsome as their new figurehead. It will be an easy steal against Trump. Then they'll move along to stacking SCOTUS and have full control of our government. There isn't a single person with the courage to stop them. Not one.

177 I am not certain why anyone is surprised. We've effectively been living under a coup since the last election, which was fixed both through governors unconstitutional actions, mail in ballots and outright fraud. Nobody in the Republican Party has the courage to address it, and in particular the senate has condoned it. This has only emboldened Democrats to continue stomping on our liberties, The Bill of Rights and the dismantling of our institutions. They just keep pushing ahead in order to ensure the next elections outcome where they install Gavin Newsome as their new figurehead. It will be an easy steal against Trump. Then they'll move along to stacking SCOTUS and have full control of our government. There isn't a single person with the courage to stop them. Not one.

193 A corollary of "we can't vote our way out of this" is that resolving to wait until the next election to do something about it only serves to guarantee continuesld order until they nullify our votes.

Democracy works because the people think they can vote tyrants out. But tyranny works if it can persuade the voters they're just not voting hard enough to remove it. They don't give a flip how we vote if they already know they're not going to give up power.

205 JROD,In 1988 the Chilean junta was coming under increasing international pressure to democratize. In order to head this off, the Pinochet regime announced a national plebiscite on the simple question of whether the people wanted him to remain as the head of government – Yes, or No. This is the jumping off point for the 2012 Chilean movie, No.
The protagonist is a marketing guy who gets pulled in to the dissident No campaign against his better apolitical instincts. The No campaign staff are a bunch of crusty activist veterans, embittered and traumatized by a decade and a half of authoritarian military repression. [ . . .] Whatever idealism they started off with has been ground out of them [ . . . ] and their vehement opposition to Pinochet has long since crystallized around anger and resentment [ . . . ] rather than any real hope of a better world. [T]heir plan for the No campaign is to focus on Pinochet’s human rights abuses.
This, the protagonist explains to them, is a sure recipe for failure. Frightened people given the choice between the devil they know and the unknown will choose the familiar every time.
Instead they focus on a brighter future via NO

People will look to success and brighter futures, when they are beaten and oppressed. They want to focus on their injuries, and that tends to isolate people since pain is uniquely individual, and the first instinct is to go hide in a hole to escape it.
People need a way to find joy and a future when they are in pain and fear.

anyhow, my point is focusing on injuries is counterproductive. We all know pain and fear. What we need is to find hope.

242 Looking at pain and fear blocks movement. Even a Tunicate shrinks from pain stimulus, and those critters lose their notocord and central nervous system after their mobile larval stage is over and they become sessile.
We can find solutions even under whips.

If you are interested in the research, find the paper by Seligman et al about Leaned Helplessness.

This is why I am a real bastard about people telling other people their pain is not valid and the reason they are in pain is not real, by the way. Sorry about that.

251 Ditto to many comments above, as usual. The unbelievable continues to be a daily occurrence, and the country unrecognizable.

Sort of on-topic, last night I saw Kari Lake speak to a county GOP meeting. Not making any news here - but a real retail political talent.

And that's not a sly put-down. There's a believable authenticity and directness, linked to specific actual huge public issues. Very similar in that respect to the key virtue (both politically and substantively) of a certain loud mouthed NY real estate mogul with weird hair.

One thing, if true and it certainly seems to be, that adds to this is that she says she is interested in the governor's position, not in other things that might be available to her now that she has clawed her way into the political spotlight. Because the issues in AZ that made her run continue (obviously) and grow worse, and also to fix AZ's election process. Guess we'll see, but damn impressive, even to a cold-blooded high-mileage policy geek like me.
