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.

[The Last Stand]

Yeah, that's why Antifa stopped rioting with their Soros supplied brick pallets as soon as Biden was elected, it's not like they are the left's attack dogs or anything. Also you forgot there is no such thing as Antifa.

Is this why in Portland, ANTIFA still has control over there?

Politicians of a certain kind certainly stoked the fire and then put it out when they didn't need the flames anymore. In their own districts where they have control.

I didn't say they didn't. I'm disputing a previous claim that if Hillary was prosecuted by the FBI, ANTIFA would cause a ruckus.

 

[Kaede Did Nothing Wrong]

Julius Caesar led part of the apparatus of Roman power. Pompey led another part. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon, those two parts were now at war, and the only resolution would be by blood.

Unlike either Pompey or Caesar, there is no power apparatus loyal to Trump. No part of the military is going to march on Washington for him. No significant part of the American government, certainly not the part controlled by Republicans, will do anything. And no, angry citizens are not going to start spontaneously driving across America with their AR-15s to shoot...somebody. Governors are not going to call up the National Guard to do anything. Trump is now isolated, with not much he can do besides be mad online.

If there was a Rubicon moment, it was when Trump told a group of wealthy Jews that they couldn't buy him. Or perhaps it was simply when he rode down the escalator. By daring to set foot in territory that was strictly forbidden to men who hadn't paid their dues, he implicitly declared war on the entire American power establishment - both parties, the Fortune 500, the media, and the MIC. It meant war, and unfortunately, he appears to be losing.

not only is he isolated, any allies he ever had were probably playing for the other team. "fighting back" is just swinging in the dark at a corruption that has been in complete uncontested control for decades.

I've been trying to examine the feels I have been feeling about this incident at Mar-A-Lago for the last day and I have reached a conclusion. I am sad. Before yesterday I had honestly hoped things could simmer down and we can all chill the fuck out. Let the political process run for the next 20 years and slowly get the poison out of the system.

I just don't think that's possible anymore. We have an undead homunculus in the white house serving as a meat puppet for an unelected beaurocracy answerable to nobody but themselves. And they are willing to violate every norm and blow past every barrier between here and the end of the road because they are all trapped in an intellectual bubble, surrounded by people who never disagree and assume that's the reality of things.

Not a single one of them has taken the time to get into their cars in Silver Spring Maryland and drive 2 hours up I-270 past Fredrick, or from their comfy suburb in Fairfax 2 hours west down I-66 past Front Royal. I don't believe they have done it because I honestly think the America that does exists a short 2 hours down the road from them is some alien hellscape they either fear or have no comprehension of.

As far as the senior leadership in Washington is concerned, Fredrick and Front Royal are some far off lands of myth mentioned in passing on a road sign they blow past on 495 on the way to more important destinations downtown.

It's sad. And so terrifying.

Don't take it so hard. It's nothing new. The democrats have used government agencies to harass people in the past. Usually, it was the IRS. Anyone who talked about Bill Clinton and his scandals in the 90's got audited by the IRS. Trump was the one who lead the birther movement in the late 2000's and he got audited by the IRS all the time because of it.

It's just democrats doing their usual games just this time it's the FBI. Dick Morris said this is a desperate move by the democrats. This is not something strong confident people do. This is something people that are weak and scared would do. They democrats are politically weak right now and they are scared of facing Trump in 2024. They most likely won't find anything. They are just doing this so they can use it to smear Trump and say he got raided by the FBI. Years ago, being raided by the FBI actually meant something. It was usually an indication that you did something wrong. These days it doesn't mean that especially in this case. But the leftist are morons, and they still think an FBI raid means something.

It's political harassment of a political candidate. That's all it is.

 

[Marley Rathbone]

This entire episode is convincing me that I should actually register to vote this time and block Democrats from everything.

 

[A-Stump]

I don't even like Trump but this is horseshit. I'm guessing a few people are going to commit suicide with gunshots to the back of the head in coming days.

 

[AnotherPleb]

That genie won't go back in the lamp and it only grant one kind of wish.

The retards in power hopes the results of that wish will let them stay in power. They would rather rule over ruin than let working class americans have a seat at the table.

The White House announced that Biden supposedly wasn't briefed on the raid before it happened.

The scary thing is that I believe it.

Why inform Biden? He can't even control his bowels, why does anyone think the deep state would let him be in charge of the country?

It's political harassment of a political candidate. That's all it is.

The difference is this: The FBI (and the deep state), if it is acting of its own accord, has just stated that it controls the reins of power and not the elected branches of government.

 

[Tomboy Respecter]

I'm pretty fucking ambivalent about the dude. My most generous take is he was too fucking old to run in the first place, but he's a retard for putting Abduljit Pai in charge of the FCC and failing to deliver on the border walls.


The goal isn't to get Trump out of the running. The goal is to split the repubs' opinions on him and their own party.

"Trump appointed the FBI director. What if there's just cause here?"
vs
"The FBI director is compromised."

"These representatives aren't condemning the FBI raid! Fuck them, I'm giving my vote to this grassroots candidate."
vs
"These representatives are supporting someone who was raided by the FBI before they even learned the reason. Fuck them, I'm giving my vote to [Insert RINO here]."

And of course, the dreaded

"Screw this, I'm voting Libertarian."

Well that didn't fucking work. In fact, it's doing the exact opposite. All but the most faggoty of RINOs are decrying this and are pissed because they know that they are next ok the chopping block if this is allowed to go through.

 

[Marley Rathbone]

I'd like to hear what the search warrant was about before I comment one way or another. Seems like a really easy way to do something really stupid if you go off condemning the FBI or demanding Trump be hanged just because they executed a warrant.

Don't want to misjudge the FBI and condemn them.

What planet are you from?

Literally no one from any part of America trusts anything the FBI says or does.

No. The FBI doesn't act on its own in this kind of case. Someone ordered them to do this. Just like when Obammy ordered them to wiretap Trumps phones. I imagine it was Joe Biden who gave them the order and it was probably after people in his cabinet advised him to do it.

 

[purpleflurp]

When the mob orders a hit against someone, does the solider who did the hit report about the job being done to the boss?

You're implying that the President is the boss here, which is an extremely bold and generous assumption.

That, and the difference between the mob and FBI is one acts with integrity.

It's DANGEROUS. I cannot stress this enough. Undermining institutional trust is bad no matter how much or where. The real problem here though is doing it at the federal level is massively dangerous. There is no natural "American" identity. The entire concept of an "American" is a shared delusion concocted after the Civil War to try and pull the disparate regions of the country together.

Ever since I watched anarchists take sledge hammers and graffiti to Confederate monuments in the South, I have seen the very delicate and very deliberate artifical construction of "American" identity come under unremitting and ceaseless attack. The weaponization of Federal Law enforcement is just one more nail in the coffin.

What is happening is dangerous because eventually, someone, somewhere is going to do something stupid. And then people will be forced to pick sides.

 

[Spoonge]

If the “Biden FBI” (by which I think you mean “FBI”) raided Mar-a-Lago, it means a judge found there was probable cause a crime was committed. It probably has something to do with the fact that Trump seemingly took boxes and boxes of classified information and left them lying around. Face it, if a Democratic former president were mixed up in anything like this, you’d be complaining that the FBI wasn’t doing enough.

Trump wasn’t impeached for “asking the leader of another country to find out if a presidential candidate was involved in corruption”; he was impeached for threatening to withhold military aid that was approved by Congress.

Because we dont have a documented history of intelligence agencies lying to try and destroy Trump. Hell they flat out lied to a FISA judge and you think they wouldnt do it again?
But surely this time we can trust the feds. They're the good guys after all.

 

[AnotherPleb]

The FBI took orders from someone, but I doubt Biden gave those orders. The man can't even take charge of his bowel movements. Find out who gave the order, you find out who really wanted him gone.

I know when those sides are drawn that I sure won't take the side of Los Angeles, DC, or Chicago.

 

[Duke Nukem]

Trump's so fucking degenerate that he gets off to things normal people don't even see as deviant. Even if the feds found his stash, they wouldn't know it. Not even cp can satisfy the deranged cravings of a man who puts ketchup on steak.

That's my theory at least.


The mod saying not to fed post against a former president is downvoted. Redditors really are sub 85iq.

You can be a bisexual crossdressing weeaboo with a severe pornography addiction and drug and alcohol problems, and you could still be an okay person in my book otherwise.

But putting ketchup on steak? That's the most degenerate fetish in our universe and probably several others.

It is the one true unforgivable crime.

 

[namelesstacotruck]

The fact that talking points werent issued and ready to go show it was either a faction that did or the fed agencies are really out of control.

What could he happening is the responsible faction isnt fessing up and now the Dems themselves are worried about the Feds.

The FBI has Biden by the balls with Hunter.
Im not sure what the long term plan there is though. The left count as their core constituents people who chant acab. They wont hesitate to fuck the fbi to oblivion if they dont do what they want, and the right wing blue line types can trivially be moved to "local law enforcement only". If the Right decides to stop carrying water for the feds and go on the offense, the lefts core demo will be hyper receptive to that message.

They are trying to push local cops bad, national cops good but i dont think the message is landing. Latinos know border patrol is federal. And black people have no love for the fbi.

 

[JambledUpWords]

Can I just say that debating on what is a “Rubicon moment” is retarded. I’m really tired of this debate, and most of it is semantics anyway. This is the Kiwifarms version of “this is just like the Avengers!” At least it’s actual history, but more than just Caesar exists, and seeing as this event is unprecedented in American history, but a common practice in third world countries, we’d be better off comparing it to that. I really want better material to read through and reading a thousand takes on what really is a “Rubicon moment” is tedious. Please get some new material.

It does kind of show how much Hollywood productions have shaped the American psyche.

I cannot agree more. Let’s compare it to the Ottoman Empire instead at least that’s from the last couple centuries
