Government Corruption
Ron DeSantis, Marco Rubio, and Kristi Noem, Among Others, React to the FBI Raiding Mar-a-Lago
2022-08-09
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.
[REDSTATE] Following the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida...
(R-FL), and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) reacted to the raid.

Governor DeSantis tweeted:

"The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic."

DeSantis calls out the FBI. He calls out the federal agency’s hypocrisy regarding Trump and Hunter Biden. Some conservatives want DeSantis to take action regarding the raid.

Senator Marco Rubio tweeted:

"Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships. But never before in America."

As Cuban flags fly alongside the American flag in front of Mar-a-Lago, Marco Rubio compared the FBI’s actions to a third-world "Marxist dictatorship." Many people have compared the FBI’s action to something that would place in a third-world country.

Governor Kristi Noem tweeted:

"The FBI raid on President Trump’s home is an unprecedented political weaponization of the Justice Department. They’ve been after President Trump as a candidate, as President, and now as a former President. Using the criminal justice system in this manner is un-American."

If the FBI wants any credibility, it can’t be partisan and biased like they are now. To those celebrating the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago, the reaction would be the opposite if it were Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
’s, Hunter Biden’s, or Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
’s home being raided. It is utter hypocrisy from the Democrats.

Hunter Biden’s laptop showed that the "big guy" Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
was involved in Hunter’s business dealings with China. Not to mention Hunter received millions of dollars from Ukraine, but the FBI did not even bat an eye. If their goal is to crack down on corruption, Hunter is one of the top places to start. But it seems evident that the FBI and DOJ want to shut down conservatives and any person who has a different ideology than they do. The rule of law applies to every single American, regardless of political beliefs or party affiliation.

Dershowitz: Trump Raid 'Improper' — 'This Is Misconduct'

[BREITBART] Monday, on the heels of news that former President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, FL was raided by the FBI, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz criticized the raid as "misconduct."According to Dershowitz, a raid is the method of last resort, and the onus will be on the Biden administration to show justification, or anything obtained in the raid would be suppressed.

"The raid is supposed to be a last resort," he said. "But this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against its political enemies. It has arrested people, denied them bail, put them in handcuffs — used all kinds of techniques that are not usually applied to American citizens. I just hope this raid has the justification. If it doesn’t have the justification, the materials seized in it will be suppressed."

"This is improper, and this is misconduct," Dershowitz added. "We have to find out what the facts are. But we have to make sure the shoe fits on the other foot — that we want to make sure what is being one here is something that Democrats would not oppose if it were being done to Democratic operatives, as well."

The USA federal government has to be remembered that the most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men

#4  Remember almost ten years ago?

In 2013, the IRS, under the Obama administration, revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for intensive scrutiny based on their names or political themes.

But Comey found no basis for criminal charges.

#1  Wrong on so many levels. A totally unnecessary and cowardly act carried out against a former president, national icon and hero of tens of millions of American people. The betrayal of the nation continues.

A loathsome, disgusting bunch of political thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

I fear for this man and his family. I fear for our country.
