Donald Trump Announces Mar-A-Lago "Raided, Under Siege, And Occupied" By The FBI​

BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, AUG 08, 2022 - 04:08 PM
Moments ago, Donald Trump - who is still banned by Twitter - published a statement on Truth Social in which he said that his Florida home, Mar A Lago is “currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents", an assault which according to Trump "could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries." He is probably right. He also claims the Fed's presence was unannounced and the reason was politically motivated.
His full statement posted on his Truth Social account is below:

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the
United States of America
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. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. 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.
The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more, it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!
Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture, and other items from the White House.
I stood up to America's bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories, and see my dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop me, and the Republican Party, once more. The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped.

I will continue to fight for the Great American People!

Local reporters confirmed the raid, saying the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. "They just left," although it isn't clear what the search was about.

While we await more information on what the FBI was doing at Mar-A-Lago or what they may have found, here are some kneejeak reactions.

Bonus: I shit you not this comment from @SPhobos was at the top of this page when I added the archive link.

Seriously, I've seen more brawn from Hillary Clinton's legs than the whole Republican Party.

Well they don't really have much say in the handling of the FBI at the moment, but then again, they didn't do shit when they had both the House and Senate in 2017

 

[The Last Stand]

You are being childish and woefully ignorant of the reality of the situation.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

"Mr. President, you must return Eleanor Roosevelt's feet pics...."

I'm pretty sure those are located somewhere in Lorena Hicock's tomb.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Kevin McCarthy doesn't give a shit.

Generally I agree but this is a pretty huge step in a very bad direction and McCarthy knows the next boot could come down right on him. This is a realization that every politician and every citizen everywhere should be coming to grips with at this point. Quite honestly the damage this could do within the DNC could be massive. Imagine hearing that a former President who has been falsely accused of a myriad of crimes over the better part of ten years has been raided for some reason.

This is a statement by the Garland DoJ that it better be prepared to back up.

 

[Absolutego]

Whoa.

The level of scrutiny that would have required a judge to sign off on this would have been so damn high it would blow your mind.

Holy shit.

An ex-president getting raided is some serious shit.

Are you high? The FISA court signed off on a surveillance warrant for an active presidential candidate off of a forged dossier and a fucking yahoo news article.

a forged dossier sourced from randos on chans, no less

The Judge in charge of the Flynn case had the entire thing fall apart underneath him and he still refused to let the case end

The same judge that is currently doing everything he can to help Baked Alaska avoid prison.

Baked Alaska is more valuable than General Flynn to the deep state

 

[MadStan]

Are you high? The FISA court signed off on a surveillance warrant for an active presidential candidate off of a forged dossier and a fucking yahoo news article.

Getting a no-knock warrant at Trumps house required an immense effort and a high burden of proof.

Try and remember it is a Trump appointed FBI Director that approved it also.

lol sure keep saying it, I'm sure it'll really be true

 

[AnotherPleb]

Seriously, I've seen more brawn from Hillary Clinton's legs than the whole Republican Party.

And you pay an unhealthy amount of attention to her legs.

You are being childish and woefully ignorant of the reality of the situation.

The reality of the situation is that the Uniparty wants Trump gone and they don't care what norms they have to break in order to do so. The main problem is that they can't pay the SS to look the other way as he's one of the only Presidents in living memory to treat them with any form of respect.

The Garland DOJ has no problem being the hired thugs of the DNC; Attorney General Garland will never forgive the GOP preventing him from being Supreme Court Justice Garland.

You forget the part where Trump had his ability to make appointments hindered by Mitch McConnell. If you can't see what this means then there's no hope for you.

 

[Tism the Return]

Make America raided again!

 

[skippy]

I hope they get the daily lunch menus for The Donald i wanna know what he eats every day and if he honors Mexico with a taco salad on cinco de mayo and negros with KFC on martin luther king day

Well he does have an excellent guac receipe.

Where's the name drop? A former President of the United States had their home raided in your state, and for a bullshit reason by the feds.

It's like "LAW AND ORDER" with extra words.

The FBI lied to the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to get secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants for random Trump 2016 campaign staffers and not only did they get the warrants they got zero consequences when it was all exposed so try again

 

[spinal gas chamber]

I still want to know who the fuck signed off on this and thought it was a good idea. We al know it wasn’t Biden… so who? I assume that person is having a very bad day as there’s no way this doesn’t backfire spectacularly and (presumably) one of the “adults in the room” has to. E losing their shit right now. The precedent alone is insane.

 

[CarlosDanger]

This was from May...

Kash Patel, a former top Trump administration official, told Breitbart News on Wednesday that a report claiming classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago is misleading and that the documents were actually already declassified by then-President Donald Trump, but the classification markings had not been updated.

“Trump declassified whole sets of materials in anticipation of leaving government that he thought the American public should have the right to read themselves,” Patel told Breitbart News in a phone interview.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Holy fucking shit I might not like Trump 100% but this makes Biden look REALLY fucking bad.

And for no reason, too.

Gas prices have been dropping (somehow), they had some legislative victory recently, Kansas voted to continue reading baby vacuuming into their constitution-- it's been an alright week for the Democrats, but then... this.

I would not be surprised if this was some rogue order that never got removed from the queue. Stuff like that happens when you have 'rule by committee'.
