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.

This is what they're after. The crime is "mishandling of White House records."

Oh please nobody gets charged under that bullshit. It would be a huge fucking reach.

 

[PuffyGroundCloud]

Didn't Trump declassify tons of documents during his presidency
and SCOTUS will happily say that the charges are unconstitutional with Alito has axe to grind

 

[Buff Wellington]

I don't think your vote matters. At all. Nor will it again.

Oh it will. Those fuckers will absolutely weaponize it and punish those guilty of wrongthink. Its just a matter of time.

 

[ScatmansWorld]

You know, maybe I'm just being too generous, but I think the reason for these kinds of underhanded plays might simply be that the established powers still don't take Trump seriously as a politician. To them he's just the game show host that got stupid luck, so it "doesn't count" and it's not a big deal if they're using the FBI to raid a former political opponent.

Fam, that's all they've got.

 

[Matt Damon]

Oh please nobody gets charged under that bullshit. It would be a huge fucking reach.

But look at what the Dems have done since Trump first declared he was running. They've reached for every last thing they could.

Do you think that the same people who were desperate enough to do this raid are not desperate enough to go for some bullshit charges as well?

Is crossing this rubicon different from the rubicons that got crossed when the FBI raided Trump's lawyer or they hockeysticked the election etc etc? This kind of feels like a regular Tuesday tbh. I mean can you really say something bigger won't be coming along next month?

The state cannot cross the Rubicon. What the FBI did was not.crossing any Rubicon. It's a complete misunderstanding of the context of the term to use it in regards to this. The state being oppressive and exploiting its power is what it does. It's why Julius crossed it in the first place. Trumps opportunity was prior to Jan 6th. Nobody here knows exactly why he didn't do it then but this is the consequence of not doing it.

Imagine what happens to Julius if he cucks to the Senate when they give him the ultimatum after he beat the Gauls. That's Trump.

Given the reactions by prominent opponents. Thats a no. This is something you do not do unless you have them 100 percent dead to rights. (And no shit like perjury doesnt count)

This is the gentlemens agreement they all had. That they wont have to watch their backs forever. That agreement has been broken. They are all game now. The only options for Saurons Ring is to cast it in the fire (disband the Fbi) or take it for yourself. Everyone will take it for themself. Whats to stop a new president roe charging Obama with that drone strike on an American citizen? A democratic president who wants to make Obama go away in the Dems internal field? A big guard rail for shit like that just got removed

They wouldn't be doing this if they didn't take him seriously.

Make no mistake, the Deep State are afraid of him. They never did anything like this to Ross Perot or Pat Buchanan

NY Times already changing their headlines going from calling it a FBI raid to a FBI search.

1 hour later - FBI Meet'N'Greet
Tomorrow - FBI Visit
Tomorrow Afternoon - FBI just happened to pass by
Next Day - Trump called the FBI to come over.

Sounds really familiar to how Jan 6th went from
When it happened - Patriots retaking the Capitol after a stolen election!
1 hour later - Fringe radicals not associated with the Republican party storm capitol
Day after - It was just a tourist sightseeing trip! Not serious at all! No one was hurt!
the day after the day after - Actually it was a fed psyop by the Democrats!! They arrested their own people!

The FBI could have summarily executed Drumpf and the Amerigolems would do nothing. Muh civil war is the biggest cope ever.

Except something will happen: people like Jack Posobiec will tweet about how the government hates the people and has declared war on them.

Also, everyone wants a civil war until they’re in one. That’s what I’d say about that topic.

Didn’t people like Swawell hint they’d nuke us if civil war broke out?

I think that was something about gun owners.

Republicans (on KF) keep whining about the justice system. Time and time again with a multitude of excuses. And yet often it is Republican judges and appointed people (oh like the FBI Director) that charges and jails Republicans.

A record number of indictments and guilty verdicts for any Administration is a proud title held by the GOP's Trump administration.

27 Pages on KF disputing what? That the FBI had cause? Of course they did. What Republicans KF members want isn't law and order - just their rules applied to the justice system and are constantly disappointed when people with higher moral standards and ethics apply the rule of law.

The lack of Kangaroo Courts and Mob justice is a growing disappointment on these threads. I guess the only choice is to overthrow the government - oh shit, and even that in January didn't work!! But there is SOMETHING YOU CAN DO! Hand out silly "Dumb" and "Autistic" stickers. Go on - do what is within your power.

I thought the thing about Republicans was that all the GOP that screw people like Trump over were uni party puppets and RINO stooges from the age of George W. Bush that needs to be purged.

As for lack of action, I guess that’s what a fear of glowing gets you: blind hope that they’ll “see the light” and do the right thing. Like with 1/6 or anything to do with the 2020 election.

Ah fuck it I will say it. There is no defensible position for this action outside direct video evidence of Trump cackling like a cartoon villain while buying a boatload of cocaine from Putin or something. It just reeks of backlash from antagonizing the Democrats and it will only bolster his appeal further. It’s like they want him to win.

Well, a Trump win gives them something to chase after as well as the thrill of the hunt.

Bold of you to assume these folks already trusted the Biden and Clinton’s before this.

What was in those documents?
The Clinton Family Recipies?

What do you think? Wouldn’t the FBI be at liberty to say what they are? Assuming they aren’t top secret?

 

[Dr J]

It's a complete misunderstanding of the context of the term to use it in regards to this.

No it isn't. The whole significance of the crossing of the Rubicon was that the Roman Army was not supposed to be armed and on Italian soil, so when Julius Caesar brought his army across the Rubicon, that was it. There was no going back, Civil War was on.

The FBI aren't supposed to be a purely political organisation and they aren't supposed to target the Regime's strongest opponents for the next general election. Therefore the FBI raiding Trump's house can be seen as a declaration of war, the moment where it was clear there is no going back. Whether it ultimately leads to that it remains to be seen, but the use of 'Crossing the Rubicon' is very much valid.

 

[The Ugly One]

You know, maybe I'm just being too generous, but I think the reason for these kinds of underhanded plays might simply be that the established powers still don't take Trump seriously as a politician. To them he's just the game show host that got stupid luck, so it "doesn't count" and it's not a big deal if they're using the FBI to raid a former political opponent.

They made it clear throughout his administration that they didn't regard him as a legitimate President and would not treat him as such. Remember when the military admitted that it kept troops in Syria and lied about it against orders? This was criminal, but they were praised, because it was seen as being loyal to the government rather than disobeying a direct order from the CIC. The USA now has government of the system, by the system, and for the system.

Sounds really familiar to how Jan 6th went from
When it happened - Patriots retaking the Capitol after a stolen election!
1 hour later - Fringe radicals not associated with the Republican party storm capitol
Day after - It was just a tourist sightseeing trip! Not serious at all! No one was hurt!
the day after the day after - Actually it was a fed psyop by the Democrats!! They arrested their own people!

Sounds about right. And now the “You Are Here” moment is that “The whole thing was a setup by the Feds and any entry to the Capitol was instigated by defender Al assets and plants like Ray Epps. And Baked Alaska.” I’ve heard the website Revolver has all the evidence.

I'm going to remember you come November 2022, and November 2024.
I want to see if you're a flip flopper like most liberals, or if you're a good sport about losing.
>inb4 shut up Republican Fascist CHUD scum!
My political affiliation has always been, and will always be "Respect me, and I'll respect you; defended by arms, personal use nuclear weapons, and the right to marry as many people as you want as long as you file under the correct tax bracket."

 

[Standardized Profile]

So my question is: when IS it okay to investigate a former president and potential opponent and how do we handle that in a way that is apolitical and not chilling to the democratic process? Do we just say ‘fuck it let the people vote?’

The question isn't "when" so much as "who." Who can we trust to handle issues like this without political bias? It seems impossible. The executive branch reports to the President, who always has a bias, even if by some miracle the public servants below him do not. Maybe there could be a statute requiring operations like this be briefed to the oversight committees or the Gang of 8--there is precedent with certain military and intelligence activities--but that wouldn't prevent the abuses, it would just loop a few more people in.

FFS what army of loyal soldiers did Trump have backing him? Julius didn't cross the Rubicon by himself and waltz in to fucking Rome. He showed up with a legion that still had blood on their armor from the war they just fought. Stop comparing modern politics to a time where you could stab your political opponents and not serve prison time.

Jones verdict. Raid on Trump. Oh jeez, it's midterms!
