It is peculiar that Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence was dramatically raided at this particular time, in a stunningly unprecedented act by the FBI, when National Archives had already inventoried the contents of Trump’s boxes back in February. The National Archives was quoted as stating in February that it was “in the process of inventorying the contents of the boxes,” and also insisted that the process was “part of a MUTUAL ongoing effort to retrieve presidential documents, not a raid.”
Most of the mainstream media were quick to report last night that Eric Trump told Fox News that the FBI raid was conducted over documents sought by National Archives, but they left out the most important part of Eric’s statement: Donald Trump’s full cooperation, as well as Eric’s.
The motive of the FBI is clearly evident in the invasion of Trump’s residence. The raid was agenda-driven with midterm elections in mind, to soup up the Democrat and legacy media narrative, which will include plenty of spin and further lies, this time about what will likely be presented as discovery of what was in Trump’s files. Trump issued a statement:
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…
From Adam Schiff’s flat-out lies against Trump in a big, expensive Russian collusion hoax to a refusal to investigate the corrupt Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton (including her long history of mishandling and hiding classified documents), America is now under a two-tier system of justice: one for Democrats and another for Republicans, especially Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported in April on Joe Biden’s determination to ruin Trump:
Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments. And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor…
A federal judge had to sign off on the Mar-a-Lago raid, although the identity of the judge has not been revealed as of this writing. Meanwhile, the White House denies any prior knowledge of the FBI plans, if you can trust what comes out of the Biden White House. The weaponization of the justice system and security state has risen to a new level. Democrat tactics match the levels of corruption expected in countries such as Venezuela, where the rule of law hardly exists anymore. As Lara Trump stated on Fox News last night: “if they are doing this to a past President, what will they do to you?” She is right. They are unscrupulous and will come after anyone who challenges the deep state and its woke ideologies, which they are pushing on children in primary schools.
The desperation of the corrupt Democrat establishment is evident in the invasion of Mar-a-Lago. It shows their fear of the consequences they know they would face in the event of a Trump election win. The DOJ and FBI now bear an incredible burden of proof. Trump wasn’t even anywhere near Mar-a-Lago when the FBI invasion was launched, so there was no valid concern about him possibly destroying evidence. It was rather, a stunt.
Now, all mainstream media attention is back to savaging Trump, justifying the indefensible while Democrat sharks and their cronies trample upon American due process. Attention will now be shifted away from the decrepit Joe Biden and the mess he’s made of the country domestically and abroad, just in time for the mid-terms. As Churchill once said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” This has become the Democrat mission statement in the many crises they create in order to win by the dirtiest means possible. Let’s hope the Mar-a-Lago stunt backfires.

Roger Waters defends branding Joe Biden as a war criminal: “He’s fuelling the fire in the Ukraine”

Old Joe is confused, befuddled and a screwball, but he appears to be a puppet the rest of time. The raid on Donald Trump is unprecedented in US history. The CIA and FBI have acted like the Praetorian Guard in its prosecution of Trump. They appear to believe they have a right to choose the Caesar and depose him as well. They are working on evicting Joe Biden and they will use the Hunter scandal when they are ready.
This is an attack on all political dissent. It is un-American to silence the opposition.
gravenimage says
Roger Waters is the frontman of Pink Floyd.
He said this: “Well, he’s fuelling the fire in the Ukraine, for a start – that is a huge crime. Why won’t the United States of America encourage [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, the [Ukrainian] president, to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war that’s killing… We don’t know how many Russians.”
He appears to believe that Zelensky has invaded Russia–the interviewer had to remind him that it was actually Russia that invaded Ukraine, not the other way around.
He then lambastes the United States for fighting fascism in WWII, and claims that the Soviet Union had already defeated Nazi Germany in 1941. He sadly does not have a great grasp of history.
He then claims that no one has a problem with Communist China seizing Taiwan, which is a very strange assertion.
I certainly have my issues with Biden, but citing Roger Water’s creepy apologia for Russia and China’s aggression to back it up is just odd.
But Samer Ibrahim has lauded Russia’s invasion of Ukraine previously, saying “what do you expect a bear to do when it is threatened? What happened in Ukraine is that the Russian white bear attacked those who were threatening him in his own home.”

He apparently believes that Ukraine is part of Russia, and that Ukraine was “threatening” Russia by being independent–and that it was being independent in Ukraine, which is actually Russia. Or something.
He has also previously lauded Jihadists attacking Europeans, saying “I wish that those barbarians teach those stupid and evil Europeans good lesson in barbarism”.

And then, Samer Ibrahim himself has said “may God weaken America”. Ugly stuff.

Phil Copson says
The reliably loathsome Waters also wants the people of Taiwan to be handed over to the tender mercies of the drug-dealing, slave-owning, organ-harvesting Chinese Communist Party – and the people of Israel to be slaughtered in a muslim invasion.
(One of the saddest sights I’ve seen recently, is the Youtube video of two Israeli musicians – brothers Aryeh and Gil Gat – busking in the streets of Tel Aviv, playing Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rirDOIttODM or just go to Youtube and enter “Jewish men play Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” in Jerusalem – uncut”)
Their devotion to the music of a man who longs see their country destroyed is both touching and misplaced.)

True, Phil.
Westman says
Will this be the political earthquake that cleaves the United States into waring factions?
Under the corrupt Biden administration, the US has become just another Banana Republic on a lage scale. The FBI is now an arm of Leftist politics to persecute rivals, like the KGB, Stasi, etc.
Imagine human rights discussions with China or Russia when they point out that the US has political prisoners, secret prisons, and weaponizes its agencies to persecute and jail its political opponents. Like the sound of surf in a seashell, listening closely, one can hear the world’s despots laughing as the Big Wheel rolls downhill.
Infidel says
The US is now indistinguishable from banana republics (and not the Gap brand apparel store) as Don Jr put it, except that they habla Español, while we speak English. Also, this Sunday, Colombia swore in its first Marxist president, so one of the last bastions of freedom in the Hispanic part of Latin America is now gone – only Costa Rica remains, afaik. And so now, in the Americas, Brazil and Costa Rica are the only 2 countries that I know of that haven’t gone all-out Marxist (not sure about most of the Caribbean islands or Belize)
mortimer says
Fascism has come to the United States in the form of liberalism.
gravenimage says
Yes, Mortimer–*nothing* liberal about this.
gravenimage says
Yes–all disturbing stuff. South America appeared to be turning away from Communism not so very long ago.
Wellington says
The ultimate culprit here? It’s the modern Democratic Party which has weaponized the federal government and has created a two-tier justice system. This is why I have said before that the Democratic Party has to be destroyed. All remaining a Democrat are complicit with the destruction of America. Yes, this dire. And yes, the politicized FBI has got to go too.
Infidel says
Yeah, the FBI is now nothing more than an American edition of the KGB. Not yet the Stasi, since they don’t yet have the universal spying capabilities of the CPC. But that would get easier the more people use Alexa or Hey Google or Siri or Cortana (is the last even still around?) If you happen to be an (R) instead of a (D), stop using those and get to the semi-automated life where you’d use these things to a point, but not to let it take over your entire life
As for the Dems, the way they managed to flip both Manchin and Sinema, there is no such thing as a good Dem: that species is extinct, and the only way to vote a few weeks from now is to reject them for every office – from House Speaker to dogcatcher
Wellington says
I don’t see how anyone can remain a Democrat and also sincerely and knowingly claim to be a patriotic American just as no willing Muslim can sincerely and knowingly claim to be for true liberty. A mass exodus from the Democratic Party needs to occur just as a mass exodus from Islam needs to occur. In both cases this may very well not happen but this does not mean it doesn’t need to occur.
mortimer says
Agree. The exodus appears to be underway. This raid on a past president will galvanize Americans concerning the loss of their right to dissent.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington.
Rarely says
It was a very foolish move and certain to backfire. Unless, of course, they find something very, very substantive but I can’t imagine what. The Dems can’t be that stupid so this all must be a GOP plot guaranteed to backfire on the Dems.
mortimer says
Completely agree.
Infidel says
Apparently, Alex Jones ain’t alone when it comes to harboring conspiracy theories
Rarely says
Yup. Just thought I’d start my own. See who’d I’d catch. LOL
Absolutely NO evidence for support.
Wellington says
Puerile on your part.
Rarely says
Perhaps Wellington. But I plan to make a fortune selling t-shirts. Want one?
BTW I was serious that it looks like a stupid move sure to backfire.

I see no sign that this was done by the GOP.

I guess I should have realized that Rarely was joking here.
somehistory says
Most people reach a tipping point, a place in time where they won’t stand for any more, a last straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Is this unlawful raid that straw for most people? Wilt the average Jack…joe is now too close to the corruption to use that common name…and Janet…jane too is connected with its revenge…say “enough is too much” because they have finally come to see what this rogue “administration” is doing?
Seems each day is closer to a complete meltdown, or explosion, than the day before, but so many are just continuing as if it’s the day before July 4 in some long-ago decade.
somehistory says
the snake, m. elias, tells why “the raid”
to stop Mr. Trump from again holding public office.

Trump was already cooperating with National Archives, so why the dramatic, unprecedented raid?

Just an attempt to cow, embarrass, and humiliate him.

“IRS” = “Internal Repression Service”
V says
The FBI could plant any documents and say they found it at Mar a lago since they came when no one was there supervising.
somehistory says
His attorneys showed up when they found out, but were not allowed inside while the search…or planting…went on, nor to be told what was taken.
Walter Sieruk says
What Joe Biden did by having the corrupted Red /Green alliance infiltrated FBI to invade the home of Donald Trump is an action of a tyrant. Related this is that since Biden sitting in the Oval Office of the White House, he had said that any President who gets things done by executive orders and not popular consensus is a dictator. A dictator and tyrant Joe Biden, truly, is.
