It's funny and sad to listen to CBS, ABC and other networks pro-government propaganda as we await Garland's presser.
Sad how "media" isn't behaving adverserial to government action.
Funny because their wording and lines can easily be refuted if they were, well, media; not PR.
Many commentators on Dem TV argued that the raid neded to be much more than classified documents or else they would not make a raid.
Haha. Really?
Anyway. Let's see Garland's spin and how those commentators will "explain" that classified docs are enough to have raided.
HAHA.
There goes all the "sourced" reporting that AG Garland did not sign off on the #BidenRaidOnTrump.
He admits having approved it.
Who else signed off on the political persecution of Trump? Biden? WH Counsel?
But again: 36 hours "reporting" just went into the garbage.
Garland says he will not sit by as people criticize the integrity of the FBI whose members fight violent criminals.
Not sure how rank/file chasing criminals is a shield to the integrity of an institution that is politicized at the top (with not one resignation in protest).

1/4 On Inauguration Day, the outgoing POTUS does not personally have physical access to classified documents to fill 25 boxes at will and to secretly direct the movers to corruptly whisk it away. So any talk of Trump "stealing/taking" boxes of such documents is a clown show.
2/4 Can a new admin claim that some documents should not have been given? Yes. But if you read beyond the clickbait headlines and dramatic intros, the "concern" was the security. Did Bush 43 check Clinton's security at Chappaqua?
3/4 Basically, staffers decide which docs can go with a POTUS, but senior people in a new admin have the legal (corruptly-used) power to claim that some documents were given by mistake and can also claim (corruptly) that it's not securely stored; hence the new locks in June. 😃
The nature and gravity of corruption is that if gone unaccounted, it gets worse. Consider this: A few years ago, Trump was "suspected" of being a stooge of a foreign power due to blackmail and collusion. Right? It was a "clear and present danger."
2/5 Yet despite this, Mueller & Weissman didn't have the guts to subpoena a POTUS (or even his children). The SC didn't move on POTUS. Instead, it left it to Congress to decide. Yet 3 years later, the home of a former president was raided by Obama's definition of a fair guy.
3/5 The raid was done despite the underlying issue (whatever it may be) not being such a clear "danger" as what was "feared" when Trump was POTUS; being beholden to an adversary.
2 of the charges against Roger Stone were about records to Congress. One direct; the other Obstruction. Those two could have been levied on Hillary and/or on all those directly involved in beach-cleaning servers after her records were subpoenaed by Congress.
Stone was raided. Trump was raided. Yet not #ButHerEmails@HillaryClinton which were i corruptly deleted and beach-cleaned after a subpoena by Congress. Imagine the pay-to-play crimes those emails contained that HRC & Co violated, apparently, multiple laws to dispose of them.
3/4 The #ButHerEmails likely contained pay-to-play involving Foundation/State Depo and ran afoul of Records Keeping and classified doc laws.
So you have
- corruption
- obstruction of Justice/Congress;
- records keeping
- Classified
What a partisan hack of a clown this @JustinWolfers is. Inflation in July was 8.5% higher from a year ago. No change month over month does not mean no inflation.
