Garland: Trump's Deadly Force Claim 'Extremely Dangerous'

[NewsMax] Attorney General Merrick Garland admonished Donald Trump on Thursday for asserting that the Department of Justice was authorized to use deadly force against the Republican presumptive nominee, saying the allegation is "false" and "extremely dangerous."

Garland made the comments during a press conference he was holding to announce the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster owner Live Nation. He was asked about Trump's social media posts and fundraising email that seized on a court filing unsealed Tuesday that showed how federal agents prepared for and executed the raid on Mar-a-Lago in the classified documents case, including "deadly force" within the mission's guidelines.

The FBI and Garland said it's standard operating procedure, just as it was for the search at President Joe Biden's home for the same thing months later. However, Trump said federal agents were "locked & loaded ready to take me out," according to USA Today.

Republicans pounce.

"You know they're just itching to do the unthinkable" and that "Biden's DOJ was authorized to shoot me," Trump said in the fundraising pitch. Allies including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Ted Cruz have joined a chorus of lawmakers chiding law enforcement for an over-the-top authorization that could easily have spiraled out of control and resulted in mayhem.

#9 Weren't those agents told to put on normal looking polo shirts or collar shirts? Was that so they wouldn't look like FBI agents? Why was that? Was it to provoke a reaction that would have given them an excuse?

#10 Evidently, Garland was in charge of the Unabomber team, but he refused to raid the cabin. Finally, Janet Reno manned up, overruled Garland and the team went in.
