| Links to all of today’s articles and commentary on the subject can be seen here. We had the first report of the FBI raid yesterday evening here. |
But perhaps nowhere could it be more shocking or more upsetting than to the Trump family who have been pursued, for so long by the Democrats, with every political effort they have thrown at them.
Lara Trump — Trump’s daughter-in-law and Eric Trump’s wife — was on Fox News. She gave some of the family’s reactions since she had been talking with the former president about what had just happened. She said that this was not just about Trump. But if they could even go to this length against the former president of the United States of America, what stops them from going after you?
She made it clear she thought it was an attempt to guard against him running again in 2024, weaponizing the justice system against him. She also pointed out that the family had been cooperating with the FBI.
Eric Trump also provided some further information. His father had said that they even broke into his safe. But Eric told Fox’s Brian Kilmeade there had been nothing in the safe, so they came away with nothing there.
Eric said this was outrageous, with 30 agents at the house, and he said he believed it had to come from Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of propity....There’s no other way to say it but that they are right. The Democrats have been trying to get Trump since before he was elected — to knock him out with false Russia collusion allegations, then the efforts to impeach him on ridiculous charges. Now, with Joe Biden in horrible shape, and the Democrats about to lose horrifically in the midterms, they’re after him again in the hopes they can knock him out in some way in 2024.
But if anything, it’s only going to charge up Republicans, even more, to circle the wagons and realize there is no choice, everyone has to get out and throw the Democrats out of office in November if we are ever to stop this kind of corruption. We are not a banana republic but they are doing all they can to make us into one in their naked effort to hold onto power.
'3rd World Banana Republic': Donald Trump Jr. Reacts to FBI Raid on Mar-A-Lago
[BREITBART] Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
Jr., the eldest child of former President Donald Trump, reacted to the FBI raid at the former president’s Florida home, Mar-A-Lago, saying that the Democrats are "openly targeting their political enemies."
"[President Joe] Biden’s out of control DOJ is ripping this country apart with how they’re openly targeting their political enemies," Trump stated on social media.
He added that a raid on political opponents "is what you see happen in 3rd World Banana Republics!!!"
The former president, who was the first to confirm the raid, released a lengthy statement, part of which stated, "These are dark times for our Nation," as his home "is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents." He added, "Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before."
Politico reported on the raid:
Two sources familiar with the search said it was related to allegations that Trump allies improperly removed boxes of presidential records from the White House after leaving office — including some that may have included classified information. One of those sources said the raid took "hours."
However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
CNN
...formerly the
Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
noted that the National Archives, which collects and sorts presidential material, has already stated that "at least 15 boxes of White House records were recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort — including some that were classified."
And how would CNN know this? An ass-covering leak?
But, in an interview with Breitbart News’s Kristina Wong, Kash Patel, a former top Trump administration official, said the claims that "classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago are misleading" since the "documents were actually already declassified by then-President Donald Trump, but the classification markings had not been updated."
