The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s personal home in Florida is an outrageous, unprecedented act of a federal government bent on partisan revenge. There’s been excellent analysis and commentary throughout conservative media about the shocking event but an important part of the story is also how Democrats and their sycophants in the media accidentally revealed in their reactions just how craven they’ve become.
The usual suspects wrapped in their cozy Trump Derangement Syndrome celebrated the raid. Americans were subjected to Democrats and liberal activist television hosts getting absolutely giddy with the news the FBI raided the home of the former president. As if that wasn’t bad enough, and then like a director changing the script, the glee changed to somber concern. Some at MSNBC ordered everyone to change the language. Now we can add “raid” to “woman” and “recession” to the ever-growing list of words leftists demand not be uttered. But we know better and ignore them.
The most telling reactions were from Trump-haters whose main concern was not that the establishment had become a machine focused on self-preservation and the destruction of those who threaten its status quo, but that the truth of the matter would ruin their preferred anti-Trump narrative.
One perfect illustration is brought to us by Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump White House aide who has found a renewed mission in life as the Trump-hating Republican co-host of television’s The View. Speaking of the raid on CNN she noted, “This, I’m hoping goes beyond simply not complying with some archiving laws, or DOJ just handed Donald Trump the Republican nominee and potentially the presidency, if it’s seen as some sort of massive overreach and not something incredibly serious, this is a very good day for Donald Trump.”
Think about this. Here is someone recognizing that obscenity of what happened and on its face confirms Trump’s argument that the swamp is corrupt and needs reforming, but her concern is how the truth will harm the establishment’s narrative and agenda.
From that Russia dossier hoax to the dozens of false allegations over the years against Trump, the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid is simply one more instance of the American bureaucratic establishment behaving like a dirty and corrupt third-world dictatorship smearing, framing, arresting and disappearing its critics. No matter the obvious reality, establishment operative will always try to gaslight you into believing the lie. Take it from a former federal prosecutor who wrote this on an MSNBC website: “Indeed, despite some naysayers, all signs still point to a Trump run. We ignore them at our peril — doing so means losing precious time both reminding Americans of the ‘clear and present danger’ to our Constitution that he poses and preparing for how best to defeat him.”
You see, the projection never ends. They’re so embedded in the narrative they’re like an evil Alexa that you can’t unplug as it keeps telling you things day and night that aren’t true.
No matter what one thinks of Trump, to gloss over, ignore, or praise the actions of the FBI and Department of Justice acting as partisan weapons against an American citizen and his supporters is madness.
Businessman and political activist Andrew Yang is another example of a first excited utterance revealing what’s really behind the curtain. He declared his concern on Twitter that the raid might give the American people the impression that Trump has been right all along about the government: “I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.”
Of course Yang feels compelled to assert his anti-Trump bona fides so as to not upset the woke mob, but here’s a newsflash for him: Trump’s “appeal” isn’t that he gives people an impression, it’s that he articulates what the American people have already been watching for decades—a slow and steady planned devolution of the American way of life by those in government, or as Barack Obama called it, a fundamental transformation of our country. The intention of the Democrats has always been to place government first and the citizen…elsewhere.
Trump understood how the system abandoned the American people, forgot them, and then tried to treat those forgotten men and women like litter. The system is now trying to do the same thing to him personally.
In the aftermath of the FBI raid, Griffin and Yang were not the only ones clutching their pearls that their preferred narrative might be ruined by reality. Former Obama advisor David Axelrod had his moment. Sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than anyone else he Tweeted: “One thing is very clear. Garland would not have authorized this raid, and no federal judge would have signed off on it, if there weren’t significant evidence to warrant it.”
The backlash was swift as a number of people reminded him about the FBI’s very recent lack of regard for the rules and ethics when it comes to Trump. “People said a similar thing after we found out the FBI got FISA warrants on Carter Page. Lots of ‘these warrants wouldn’t have been approved if they weren’t legit’ circular logic in both cases,’” tweeted the Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross. Some Twitter users wondered if Christopher Steele of the infamous Russia dossier hoax had alerted Garland to new and nefarious items at Mar-a-Lago.
Our nation would be in significantly less peril if good people would recognize that the political and media establishment has ginned up such hatred of Trump specifically to see how much we would allow them to get away with in their efforts to destroy him. Emergencies and fear and loathing are the life blood of totalitarians. We’ve seen what this recklessness has done to other nations, let’s not let it happen here.
I’m just curious here, but what would it take for you to actually believe Trump did something wrong here? Would you need to personally witness him take classified documents? Why are we treating him like a God and that he can do no wrong?
I believe, like most of you, that Hilary did wrong and should have been punished years ago. But just because she wasn’t doesn’t mean that Trump shouldn’t be punished for breaking the law. That’s not the way it works. Let’s be rational here.
Axelrod stated no warrant would have been signed if there was no evidence. Really! Like the Steele Dossier which kept going for Trump’s entire presidency!
This was a political action because the power in DC was beginning to get worried about all the primary wins for Republicans. This is a new ploy to show they are so powerful! All it’s done is make every American realize how deceptive and deceitful the Democrats are!
When will be able to fight back and get rid of these low class, I don’t know what to call them , idiots . Why can’t the good people start issuing law suits against these idiots,
Need to wait on the Lord to handle this crisis like he said he would !!
We told president Trump to fire Christopher Ray
Raise crows and they will poke your eye out or your heart
Because Ray was showing from the beginning he was in cohorts with the Democrat party as they are part of the swamp
And Ray is part of the swamp
God will deliver us
When we call evil evil and when we call immorality immortality and not equality
27 calls between DeSantis’s home and an FBI burner phone the day of the raid! When will they tell us the truth about what happened that day? Republican Party coup executed in broad daylight. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pence was in on it too. These are shameful days.
For all the Trump Haters out there that were giddy about the raid, open your eyes and brain to the fact that if these people now in power obtain absolute power by their corrupt, fraudulent means the same can happen to you. Case in point, hiring over 80,000 ARMED IRS agents to raid and confiscate your possessions if you can’t pay your audited taxes. And saying they’re only going to audit those making over $400,000 a year will be another lie. I wonder if any of these politician millionaires and their Hollywood elitist friends will be audited by armed IRS agents? Of course not!
I KEEP SAYING WELCOME TO THE FOURTH REICH
I’m of the opinion that they want Trump to get the nomination as they see him more beatable than the other potential candidates on the R side. Trump will mobilize the D base and will quiet the independents. DeSantis will win big. I think there are a couple other potential candidates on the R side that can do the same. I believe in God and I’m praying some positive events happen starting with the Nov elections.
I do not believe the FBI’s claim of nuclear papers at Trump’s home . The warrant was signed on Friday , the fifth of August and the FBI waited until Monday to execute it ? How long had these alleged nuclear paper been missing ? Trump’s out of office close to 2 YEARS now . And now , the FBI is looking for nuclear papers. Who alerted the FBI to missing nuke papers ? When ? By what method ? Any corroboration ? Since when does an Archivist seek missing nuke papers ? Was there a request from the Defense Dept. ? the Energy Dept.? And , what about a chain of title of the nuke papers. Who has it . Where is it ? What agency waited almost two (2) YEARS to look for nuke papers ? ? ? . I think Garland is fibbing . He looked very nervous when he claimed that he signed the warrant . How about the original warrant that was the basis of the raid ? Who was the warrant served upon ? And why wasn’t it left in the hands of the person upon whom it was served , if in fact , it was served . Who prepared the affidavit that triggered the warrant ? Who is the affiant ? Why were Trump’s security cameras turned off ? Why were Trump employees , lawyers, family barred from their home during the 9+1/2 hour raid . What took so long ? 15 Boxes of paper should have taken 15 minutes to carry out . Why did the fbi agents have guns at the President’s home ? Was the Secret Service detail there blocked from following fbi searchers ? On tv , I saw at least one Sec. Svc person at the front gate securing the area. Was she securing it from fbi raiders ?
We need to see that chain of tittle of the nuclear papers. Nuke papers would have been
Top Secret . And you need a special clearance for that . When is Garland going to let us in on WHY he ordered the raid of President Trump’s home ..
‘
If all of these dems will not repent from their wicked behavior, if the law is no longer enforced, some may be pushed into handling things the old fashioned way.BTW, if you can read this, thank your Mother that she did not abort you.
bs”d I am extremely concerned for Mrs. Trump’s safety!!
The raid on Trump’s home is the 2nd step.
The first step when citizens have been imprisoned (and in solitary confinement) without legal representation or charges. The first step has done away with our justice system. Some of the citizens have been coerced to take a plea deal and charged with a crime that was not committed and nothing has been done by our Legislator or Supreme Court to protect these citizens.
Many lawbreakers have had their “day in court” and received probation or sentencing while the Jan. 6th citizens are still sitting in prison without being charged with a crime.
How Third world we are, never imagined my USA would come to this. Please dear God, our country is in great peril and let your Truth be revealed!
This issue with opposition to President Trump surfaced under the Fraudulent O’Biden Regime as “President” and before!!! What does that tell us?!?! Speaking of Undermining and Destruction of America, one has to look no further the O’Biden and the Deep Dark State!!!! Yes, these are Domestic Terrorists within Our America!!! They are all there due to the Skillfully Corrupted 2020 Election!!!! Just look at what America has and is coming too, a Socialistic, Marxist Banana Republic!!!!
Our True President Trump kept us out of war and successfully negotiated a peace treaty between the Middle-east and Israel, He made America Energy Independent, Our Economy was good, Our Borders were Closed and Under Control, Our Supply Chain was Operating Very Well, Our Schools were better, Not Perfect, Our Judiciary was in Relatively Good Standing, Our Military was Strong and UN-Politicized, Our Police Were Respected, Our Government Agency were in Relatively Good Hands, America Was still Respected!!!!
Wake Up America, We Are In Very, Very Serious, Grave and Dire Danger “From Within” By The Washington, DCeivers!!!!!!
The only thing wrong with believing Trump can win is what has changed from the last election? . . . We ALL know that Biden DIDN’T WIN, at least not honestly! I don’t see where Republicans are doing enough to “guarantee” that it’s not going to HAPPEN AGAIN? . . . Especially since they’ve assumed power, I’m sure they’ve been improving their winning formula. I have no faith though I will vote as usual.
There are plenty of us who are trying to wake people up. I’ve spoken to two liberal friends recently who have never even HEARD of George Soros and what evil he’s up to in our country. What does that tell you about the so-called “news” they are listening to??? (Which is exactly the point I made to them.)
Good point Progressive Liberals are absolutely clueless, they are mushrooms being fed manure!
Photos show the thirty FBI agents skillfully wielding automatic weapons, enough firepower to suppress a major uprising. But, they were “…only following orders…,” the same as storm troopers in an earlier era. This is a prime example of why ordinary CITIZENS must never allow the Second Amendment to be compromised or diminished.
Optics are everything in a constitutional republic, Garland. The people are watching, observing, taking notes…and pictures.
Bottom line is the powers that be, the deep state, is trying to find every reason so that Donald Trump cannot run for President in 2024. Remember: Paybacks are hell. When you do something mean or crooked, it will come back to bite you in the behind. Democrats need to be careful of what they are doing to America.
Excellent article, Tammy! Very succinctly and well stated.
PS “Evil Alexa” nails it perfectly!
There is one more thing that people seem to have forgotten. The fbi spied on first candidate then president Trump.
Where were the Secret Service agents who were supposed to protect Trump?
What worries me is this Inflation bill that just passed, authorizing 87,000 new IRS agents who will be armed. That is 4 divisions of armed agents, ready to quell any uprising or revolt against the corrupt government.
” Trump’s “appeal” isn’t that he gives people an impression, it’s that he articulates what the American people have already been watching for decades—a slow and steady planned devolution of the American way of life by those in government, or as Barack Obama called it, a fundamental transformation of our country. The intention of the Democrats has always been to place government first and the citizen…elsewhere.” Very, very well said.
Everything they’ve done to attack Trump and conservatives is adding up. Throw in the massive increase of IRS agents, out of control spending and staggering inflation…. Yeah, we’re done.
ALL THE FOLKS INVOLVED IN THE RAID ON PRESIDENT TRUMPS’ PRIVATE RESIDENCE SHOULD BE ARRESTED, TRIED, AND EXECUTED FOR TREASON!!!!!!!
The democrats are insane, that is the only term left to use for this last chess play. We know all of the other terms apply for their machinations!?
Just exactly when will the citizenry of this country get fed up and use their Second Amendment rights for their intended purpose?
If we are not living under a tyrannical government…….then how would one otherwise assess it? Sure seems as if the time to act is either now or very soon. Some say “thats what the deep state wants”, well we have been caving and giving them what they have wanted so far so……why not continue?
Garland has committed treason. Not only does garland need to be in prison garland needs to be hung for treason.
The entire doj needs to be shut down. Every person fired, all pensions revoked even those who retired in the last two years, every single preson involved in the Raid or investigations into parents needs to go to prison for life, then rebuild the doj and fbi with a new law requiring a oath with felony punishment and a law that says no government paid person can lie to the citizens: minimum sentence fir lying will be double whatever sentence there is for a non government paid citizen.
Then they need to defund the cdc, fda, atf, nih, and epa. Fire everyone and rebuild them with honest people.
Only God knows how many many laws demon crats are guilty of: treason, violating tons of u.s.a. laws, anti-constitution, etc!
If you do not have a winning argument ,intimidation and terror is the next step to get to and stay in power
DEFUND THE FBI !! The leadership ,headed by Director Wray, is worse than Comey’s FBI. It”s a sad day when your top law enforcement agency becomes saturated by swamp denizens. God, please save our nation !
remember it took hitler a good 20 years to finally amass enough OUTRIGHT POWER to pull off his stunt. lenin had been exiled in norway and germany before germany sent him back to triumphantly pull of his communist coup. this stuff doesn’t happen overnight folks it take a while and has been obvious to me for that it was coming for a long time.
This is all politics. The Democrats are afraid of Trump. We no longer have freedom of the press since the media supports the Democratic Party. We no longer are a country where we can get a fair trial. Politics is now in the FBI, CIA, Justice Department and IRS. Just think what tyranny is in store for many of us if the socialists/communists gain total control. The Democrats will use these agencies to punish those innocent people who hold a different opinion from them. We impeach a President because the opposition does not like him. We send the FBI after a President because the opposition does not like him and wants to destroy him.The media and the Democrats constantly lie about Trump and criticize what comes out of his mouth. Look at all the actions of the Democrats and the media. They speak louder than words. And also we no longer have freedom of speech because citizens with opposing points of view are called racists.
This is truly the saddest day in America, just think what they can and will do to the average citizen. It has become very scary and there is no punishment. I guess if you are a Democrat anything goes.
Democrats have done nothing but mismanage every problem they have been handed. I just thought a few days ago could you imagine how any people would have died in the pandemic if Joe Biden had been president when the pandemic hit. There is no way the republicans could have done a better job of making democrats look worse than they have made themselves look. Every day of the Biden administration has been one disaster after another. Can anyone think of anything they handled correctly?
Trump needs to hire some professionals to sweep every inch of his property for listening devices, cameras, etc.
Interesting isn’t it that everything they are accusing Trump of now is exactly what Hillary Clinton did do…her crimes were treasonous and seditious. She took money from foreign adversaries, made millions for her slush fund so-called foundation, and the entire debacle of the 2016 campaign where she did collaborate with Russians, paid them in fact. Also, her secret server had Classified and Top Secret memos on it which we know now were hacked by foreign entities, she destroyed 33,000 emails that had already been subpoenaed, destroyed all cell phones and their SIM cards, and now she is brazenly flaunting that she got away with it by selling hats that say something like”oh, but the emails.” This arrogant, evil woman did all that the Dems and the agencies so corrupted by them to do their bidding, accuse Trump of now. It is the typical Democrat M.O. project your sins on others and deny, deny, deny. Democrat or Republican, if you stand for this, you are helping to destroy our country, the Constitution and the Republic in which we live.
I do not know enough to jump to any conclusion on MaraLago raid. I plan to wait & see what the Search Warrant & affidavit reveal why the raid was approved. And what happened with Trump team & FBI in June that must have triggered this raid. Was their total cooperation in June or not???
Now, we have former top-level officials hinting that Trump should be executed for treason, like the Rosenbergs! Were they banned by Twitter and Facebook?
We had better stop the Democrats with their weaponizing of the FBI and IRS or they will be coming after us soon.
I am afraid that they were actually planting evidence which is why they wouldn’t let Trump’s lawyer watch them. Everything should have been inventoried and documented before it left the property so they can’t plant evidence, they have drummed up fake evidence on him in the past.
The Intelligence agencies have been weaponized against Conservatives, President Trump and the American citizens. The FBI has turned into the KBG. They target anyone who goes against the Democratic/Nazi narrative or beliefs. Make no mistake, unless we destroy these people and weed them out, we will be living in a Dystopian State. Vote all of the Democrats and RINOS out of office. Restructure (fire all upper management, especially those that were appointed) the FBI, CIA and NSA agencies.
THE ONCE HONORABLE fbi IS NOW THE RUSSIAN KGB
libs = NAZIS
Intrusive behavior by the government? No surprise there! Now I’m wondering who will be next.
I read in article the other day that 73,000 troops were involved in storming the beaches on D day. If you doubt the deep state is unlawfully stalking Donald Trump, consider the deep state has authorized 87,000 new IRS agents to stalk you and your families!
Weaponization of the Justice Department/FBI is only the beginning. Americans should be very concerned about 87,000 new IRS agents. Obama used the IRS against his political enemies. The Democrats gave Biden reinforcements.
The FBI is run by the 7th floor Soros owned suits and ties that don’t know the first thing about law enforcement or investigation. A bull dozer should be taken to the 7th floor, J Edger Hoover was a pervert and a megalomaniac and it’s gotten worse since he’s gone…they have no Fidelity to our constitution, the “B” has become Brutality and the “I” stands for infiltration and insurrection. I’m reminded of the 45 communist goals to overthrow the United States entered into the congressional record on January 10, 1963,–Appendix, pp. A34-A35. Goal number 35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. What better way to do that than for the FBI to become an armed, rogue, Gestapo type arm of the Executive branch throwing a monkey wrench into balance of power of our three branches of government
This is big government run amuck! Socialism on the march. Beware, this is only the beginning. Conservatives need to get out the vote. Let’s defeat the bastards and put them in jail where they belong.
The RAID should never have happened. President Trump might come off kinda brash but he put our country back on the right track (all of which Mr. Biden destroyed BTW). President Trump is still my President and I wish him all the best. We need him back at the desk in the Oval Office!
