As you have probably already heard or read, it has come to light that the FBI had authorized the use of deadly force when executing its search warrant for Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. Although the FBI is claiming that there was nothing unusual about this--that is, the authorization to use deadly force is standard operation procedure when executing a search warrant--and Attorney General Merrick Garland is criticizing Trump for even bringing it up, there is more to the story.
American Greatness reports that "[u]nder 'Contingencies,' agents were directed to 'be prepared to engage' with the former president and his Secret Service team should they arrive at Mar-a-Lago (MAL) during the raid." When considering all the facts of how the alleged documents wound up at Mar-a-Lago (see below), one is left wondering if the Biden Administration and/or Deep State was hoping that the FBI would kill Trump during the raid.

The new disclosures indicate the Department of Justice was in touch with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) during much of 2021, undermining the DOJ’s claims that it became involved in the matter only after the Archives sent it a criminal referral on February 9, 2022, based on the findings of records with “classified markings” in 15 boxes of materials Trump gave to the Archives a month prior.
Investigative journalist Julie Kelly found something interesting in the documents that could change everything. The first things is testimony from an FBI agent who testified that the General Services Administration (GSA) had been in possession of Trump's boxes in Virginia before ordering Trump's team to come get them.
"So an entire pallet full of boxes that had been held by GSA somewhere outside of DC is dumped at Mar-a-Lago," Kelly notes. "Apparently these are the boxes that ended up containing papers with 'classified markings.'"
"I will double check indictment but I don't recall this event in the timeline," she added.
So, it appears that the Biden administration may have been responsible for shipping classified information to Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. This development is significant because Trump has previously blamed the GSA for packing the boxes that contained the classified documents, only to later accuse Trump of essentially stealing them and using that as pretext for sending the FBI to raid his Mar-a-Lago home in August 2022.
Oddly, this did not surprise me.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that we live in a time where we have to realistically consider this a possibility.
