The WH says Biden didn't know about Mar-A-Lago search warrant.

But Biden has a history here. He told ABC News in May 2020 that he "knew nothing" about a DoJ investigation into Trump's NSA Advisor Michael Flynn. Written records show that wasn't true.
According to FBI notes, Biden himself in an Oval Office meeting on 1/5/17 with Pres. Obama and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates brought up the Logan Act, in an apparent suggestion to Yates that Flynn could be prosecuted.
Maybe Biden didn't know about this warrant. But Biden has a history of publicly telling DoJ who to prosecute, as he did in 2021 when he said anyone who didn't cooperate with the 1/6 hearings should be prosecuted.
Did Biden know about the warrant? If DoJ was smart, they would not have given anyone at the WH a heads up. But Biden's previous actions, statements and denials raise suspisions.

Here’s the case why Garland and Wray will resign in disgrace or get impeached by a GOP Congress:

Garland is under huge pressure from Democrats. The 1/6 hearings have amped up groups that demand Trump be tried for a crime. Any crime.
Garland knows that Hillary wasn’t charged with a crime for having top secret info on her personal server at her house.

The National Archives has made clear that Trump is in violation of the Presidential Records Act. After negotiating w Trump officials, the talks broke down.
DoJ’s lead investigator is a bulldog who insists the records be retrieved because no one is above the law. He is blind to the implications of raiding a former president’s home just to retrieve paperwork a former potus is not supposed to have.

I have said the raid will end in either Trump's indictment because the DoJ found what it was looking for, or in the resignation of disgraced FBI Director Wray and AG Garland. There is no in between ground.

Here is the case for indictment:
This is not about routine National Archives presidential records. It's about Codeword or Top Secret documents Trump took with him upon leaving the WH.
In his hectic last days, whether on purpose or not, Trump brought with him highly classified info. That means it's not the National Archives that wants the documents back - it's the CIA or possibly DoD.

Here’s why the FBI raid - absent a finding that puts former President Trump behind bars - is so damaging:

1) Most governmental institutions are already not trusted by the American people. This raid contributes to mistrust of the FBI.
2) It leads to mistrust of DoJ/the courts. Remember, 2 of the 4 court-approved warrants again Carter Page were found to be invalid.

3) Trump has been subject to numerous probes, all of which turned out empty. If the FBI didn’t find the goods yesterday, add this to the list.
4) Did the DoJ really need to go to this length to enforce the Presidential Paperwork Act? Government lawyers and Trump lawyers couldn’t figure this out? DoJ really had to resort to a raid?

President George W. Bush's first news conference was on 2/22/01. It lasted 30 minutes, was held in the press briefing room, and he took 23 questions, including numerous follow-ups. (Plus an argument w Helen Thomas.)

I look forward to watching Biden's first news conference.
Here are topics that the Biden press corps should have asked about during the campaign, but won't come up now - even though they're legitimate stories:

A.) Hunter Biden's conflicts of interest
B.) Joe Biden's role in investigation Michael Flynn.
C.) Tare Reade questions
Here's what i would ask:

1.) Will you commit here and now to direct DHS to allow press coverage on the border?
2.) Why don't you believe Gov Cuomo's denials of sexual harrassment. You denied allegations against you. Why should you be beleived, but not Cumo.

MSM should treat Biden’s “w/o evidence” statements the same as they treat Trump’s. Yesterday, he said, “Christmas is going to be a lot harder. I don’t want to scare anybody here, but understand the facts — we’re likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now and January.”
As @jimgeraghty points out, “The US suffered about 3000 deaths from the coronavirus yesterday. There are 27 days left in this awful year. If we lose 3000 people per day for 27 days, we will see 81,000 deaths. That will be terrible, but that will not be “another 250,000 by Jan.”
“If we are generous and assume Biden meant the end of January, another 3,000 deaths for another 31 days would be 174,000 deaths — still well short of the 250,000 that Biden predicted.”

After a lifetime of hearing that voter fraud is real, it seems to me that this is the perfect opportunity to find out if that’s true - or not. Even if the margin is too big to turn around the election, it’s worth a full and deep dive to learn whether or not there is cheating.
In Philly, for example, did 5 dead people vote? 50? 500? 5000?? We should all want to find out, not just for Pres. Trump’s sake, but for all future elections, national and local. The media should see this as a perfect test case to dig into something - and inform the public.
In places where ballots were mailed to everyone for the first time, how did it work out? How many ballots were sent to bad addresses? To people who moved? To apartments with new residents? Did signatures match? Did people vote in two states?
