Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The Mar-a-Lago Raid is a Preview of a Rigged 2024 Election

By

The Democrats will prosecute their way to victory.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray cut short his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee to fly the FBI’s private jet to his family’s vacation home. At the hearing, Wray had admitted that disciplinary action against FBI personnel involved in Russiagate abuses had been “slowed down” and refused to call Russiagate a “hoax”.

On Monday, President Trump revealed that Mar-a-Lago had been raided by “a large group of FBI agents”. Any warrant for such a raid would have been signed off on by Attorney General Merrick Garland and his associates in the Biden administration which expects to face the former president in the next election. Wray, who quietly listened to complaints about the politicization of the FBI from Senator Grassley and Cruz, among others, would have known what was coming.

The New York Times reported that, “according to two people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, after he left the White House.”

Back in May, the paper revealed that a federal grand jury investigation had been convened over boxes of “government documents, mementos, gifts and letters” taken to Mar-a-Lago. There was no federal investigation when the Clintons left the White House with $190,000 worth of “china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts”. The FBI didn’t come knocking at Chappaqua.

This isn’t about the documents. Just as Russiagate was not about the Russians. It’s not about the 15 boxes of documents, letters and assorted presidential records and gifts that were hurriedly packed up and sent off to Mar-a-Lago, most of which were later returned when the National Archives requested them, this is about the 2024 presidential election.

The assorted Trump investigations were not motivated by concerns about national security, political norms and they’re certainly not driven by sudden worries about mishandling classified documents. And yet the same media which spent years explaining why mishandling classified documents was no big deal when the Clintons did it will explain why it’s a big deal now.

While the FBI handed out immunity agreements to Hillary Clinton staffers who mishandled classified documents and erased their devices, expect any Trump staffers to be hit with the highest possible charges and penalties, and for any information seized from them to be used to develop cases against Trump and other administration figures. That’s what this is really about.

The Mar-a-Lago raid is a more aggressive version of the same Russiagate tactics which were aimed at busting and flipping Trump associates, while gathering any materials that can be spun off into related or entirely unrelated investigations. The FBI raid will not result in charges against Trump, but will probably be used to hit staffers and aides with security violations. This has the dual purpose of keeping them from serving in any future administration and putting them through the wringer, running up massive legal bills and getting them to testify against Trump.

And it’s only happening because the Democrats expect to run against Trump in 2024.

There’s no coincidence that Trump investigations have once again ramped up, after quieting down, as the former president began sending signals that he intends to run again. If Trump had announced that he was formally retiring, there would be no FBI agents at Mar-a-Lago. Instead they would be headed to the homes of any of the potential conservative frontrunners who would suddenly be facing subpoenas, entrapment and wiretapping run out of D.C.

Biden’s abysmal polling makes it impossible for him to win by any means short of this. And the Democrats have no popular candidates waiting in the wings. Anyone else they run, from Kamala to Buttigieg to Bernie to Newsom to Hillary stands no chance of winning over the public.

All that’s left is this.

The Obama administration used the Justice Department to rig the 2016 election. The Biden administration began the same process early on. It has weaponized the DOJ in previously unprecedented ways to shape the voting map, to rally its base and investigate its enemies.

It will get worse as the apparatchiks of a lame duck administration truly get desperate.

As President Trump pointed out,  “Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mail AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing happened to hold her accountable.”

The FBI handed out immunity agreements to top Hillary aides  in exchange for access to their devices and then went on to destroy laptops even though Congress wanted access to them.

Over 2,000 emails on Hillary’s server were found to be classified. 37 pages were deemed top secret. Senator Grassley listed 588 security violations. Hillary’s unconvincing defense of mishandling classified information was that she didn’t know what a “C” stood for.

From the removal of boxes of documents from Vince Foster’s office after his suicide to Bill’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger stuffing classified documents from the National Archives into his pants and socks, the Clintons have made document theft their specialty.

And it’s all too typical for Trump to be accused of the crimes that the Clintons committed.

But the alleged crimes in a political investigation don’t matter. What does matter is the strong signal from the Biden administration that what the Obama administration did quietly, it will do loudly, aggressively targeting a prospective political opponent with a series of politically motivated investigations using the full force and authority of the Justice Department.

That is a constitutional crisis.

The allegations and investigations will continue to shift as they have since Day 1. Whether it’s the Russians, the Ukrainians, Jan 6, and now classified document handling procedures, and whatever they come up with tomorrow, Biden’s DOJ intends to win by indicting his opponents.

The Democrats have given up winning the 2024 presidential campaign at the polls and intend to win it at the hands of their prosecutors and judges.

Instead of winning over the public, they want to prosecute their way to victory.

  1. It’s tragic , which is that the 2024 elections might already be fixed because this government has become so thoroughly influenced and completerly subverted by that sinister and insidious Red/Green alliance politically correct infiltrators to the most horrendous extent that no future legitimate Presidential elections will be possible.

    Meaning all this talk about “election reform ” might be just an unrealistic daydream It might be the sinister and insidious far -left wing have made the hope of a genuine 2024 lawful election highly improbable and likewise other future general elections a hoax. Meaning further crooked corrupted rigged “elections” completely lacking in legitimacy

    Which means that the United States can no longer be numbered or counted as an actural free nation with fair elections.

    As it is written “What it crooked cannot be made straight ; and what is lacking cannot be numbered.”

    The Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.K.J..V.}

    Nevertheless , I very much hope that I’m wrong. So I’m going to vote in 2424 ,just in case.

    • I predict if this is all true there will be a mass suicide in America after the failed election. . Exhausted from years of fighting and frustration and left with no hope of their leaders saving the Republic that is infested with younger invaders to take their place. The grim revaluation that the armed tax man will arrive to further the misery. It won’t bother the younger citizens already Woke, indoctrinated, groomed and sisd and ready for the New World Order.. .

  2. Again, why there is no excuse to remain a Democrat. No person can justify this. The ultimate culprit in this present descent of America is the Democratic Party. One knows this or should know it.

    • There is an avalanche of Americans who are leaving the Dem Party. It no longer represents the average American or his values. The Dems are no longer trusted by Hispanics and Asians to represent their values. Even black males who are tired of being told what to think are leaving.

      The Dems are now a sinking ship, so we should expect them to play a dirtier game of pool.

      The raid on Donald Trump has galvanized and awakened many Americans to see the treachery of the Deep State. The people want their power back from the cabal of special interests who prefer communist China to the interests of ordinary American voters.

  3. History often repeats itself . As the ancient Roman Republic did collapse into a dictatorship likewise all those terrible events in the United States this very year strongly indicate the the US Republic is collapsing into a Socialist/Communist / Sharia based tyranny.

    Even though those horrible ideologies do in a few aspects conflict they nevertheless still will work together ,if the backers of those awful ideologies fused into one will still completely take away the freedoms that the American people should have by the rights of US Constitution.

    As for future election being fixed ? Maybe so .Let’s hope not, still if that really is the case then from 2014 and on the terrible damage .done would be totally irreversible As Abraham Lincoln had ,wisely, said “You can’t unscramble eggs.

  4. It has been reported that *everything* from January 20, 2017 to Jan. 20, ’21 was taken. The fbi carried in a lot of equipment. Who needs “equipment” to do a search? Equipment is needed if one is going to plant bugging devices. The guys were there for nine hours and didn’t want the cameras to be working while they did whatever they were doing.

    Now garland is threatening anyone who criticizes the fbi.

    bananas are going to be popping up all over.
    the news media is always the first to go when mercenaries are planning an overthrow. all Truth must be squelched.
    Then, lots of arrests of those friendly to the legit government.

    It’s always the same.

    • The FBI and CIA computer hackers had the ability and know-how to hack the voting machines. So what would stop them from doing so if they hated Trump as much as we have seen?

      They would give themselves permission to break the electoral law if they knew the DoJ would not prosecute them.

        • The FBI and CIA hacked the voting machines? I thought the hacking was done by an Italian satellite. Could have been dolphins. Maybe Elvis is working behind the scenes. Or Big Bird.

  5. As the ambiguity of a possible Trump return persists the more desperate the Dems act. As stated years ago the harassment of everything Trump only becomes more and more hazardous. Now to the point that there are no limits—and it’s literally. Donald Trump is the only influential individual who dares to challenge the current globalist order, so they are deadly serious when it comes to stopping him.

  6. Agree with Mr. Greenfield. They would have left Donald Trump alone if he had dropped out of politics. This is a political, partisan witchhunt.

    The FBI in acting like the Gestapo has infuriated millions of Americans who may not previously have cared about politics.

    This galvanizing raid is a CAMPAIGN ISSUE that will in fact resonate.

    Americans do not want to live in a highly partisan, one-party police state.

  7. All the more reason why the FBI needs to be disbanded. And no, Wilkow, it’s not the same as ‘defund the police’!

    • Infidel.
      What would that accomplish? All the FBI were doing was enforcing a court order.
      None of it would have been necessary if Trump had acted better in the first place.

      • As Jim Jordan has said, the FBI has become the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. It needs to go and a new agency that is truly non-partisan needs to be formed. The FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop as of December 2019 and knew what was on it but spun the lie that the whole laptop story was Russian disinformation. The FBI knew that the Steele Dossier was phony and paid for by the Clinton campaign and yet used it anyway to hound Trump for years. FBI agents have become a goon platoon going after Republicans and letting Democrats off the hook (e.g., Hillary Clinton who put classified information on a private serer and then deleted some 33,000 e-mails and had the server acid washed). The FBI has lost all credibility for anyone who can think and values ethics in government. You can’t get away with asserting that they are just enforcing court orders. There comes a time then a person has to say I can’t do this because it is wrong—like the overkill and chilling raid on an ex-President’s home.

  8. Wait. What? Wray used the FBI’s jet to fly to his family’s private vacation home? How is it legal for anyone to use a government airplane for non-business related trips? Has Wray done this before and has he reimbursed the government for the expenses involved? I can’t believe government property can be used free of charge for non-government purposes. Surely Wray has to reimburse the government for personal use of the plane. I hope someone audits the expenses of federal employees. If not these government officials are being treated like royalty.

    • they have decided that whatever they want to do is “legal.” just like mozlums.

    • Do you not know the Brown shirts and the SS in German in the 1930s got “special perk” regular Germans were not allowed to get. The same goes for the elites of the Communist Party in the former USSR.

  9. Further to Mr. Greenfield’s claim ‘The Mar-a-Lago Raid is a Preview of a Rigged 2024 Election’ … the raid is a dress rehearsal for the round-up of other political leaders and Republicans in general.

    If they can raid a president, they can easily round-up political leaders, and unfavorable media journalists in the middle of the night, and finally round up voters who plan to vote the ‘wrong’ way.

    The Dems do not wish a vigorous opposition, but without a vigorous opposition, there is no democracy, but a one-party autocracy.

    • To Rarely-You don’t have to like Trump as a person. But if you don’t like the good things he did as president, you should become better informed. No dumbos post on this site.

  11. In our system of democracy we don’t put monarchs or dictators in office for a term until the next rigged election comes around.

    Why are our elected representatives allowing governance by decree or by dictatorial methods to become the norm?

    It is imperative that we in the west, and especially in North America, take back our democracy from these elites. Today we must carefully vet those who run for office and not become apathetic or complacent if we are not to end up living in a modern form of Medieval serfdom, where elites rule over us and have total control of every aspect of our lives. Including the arbitrary power of life and death if we disagree with them.
