A) Why buy a self-serving claim about Garland's role?

B) Subordinates taking action on their own "for good of country/law" is a tool for corrupt abuse in authoritarian regimes.

Same goes for Gen Milley. He can't decide what's good for country over orders of Commander in Chief.
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?

From the NYT via @politicalwire: Image
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. 😃

🚨 🚨 🚨

There were 10 boxes of nuclear secrets laying around at MAL for 18 months tucked into Melania's cloths that it took 30 agents 9 hours to collect.

3:00 PM: Garland Asks How Dare You Critique the Feds.

5:00 PM: FBI Wray Echos the Same Points.

8:00 PM: Those Upstanding Above Board Feds Leak an Incomplete/Misleading Claim About Nuclear Secrets to a State-Aligned Press Office.
In a matter of 8 hours we went from "this isn't a raid and Garland didn't even know about it,"

to

"Of course GARLAND approved a RAID: We needed to save NUCLEAR DOCS from Trump!"

Soon they will say Biden was briefed due to the risk, but he deferred to DOJ "career officials."

🧵 🧵 🧵

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.

Th raid done because @jeffsessions, RR, @MattWhitaker46 and Joker Barr gave corrupt goons a pass.

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.

yes: #ButHerEmails
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

All in one.

How many raids/indictments?

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.

"Holy COW: The car at 100 MPH is not speeding because it's at 100 continuously and not above it."
Note that @JustinWolfers's first tweet with the misleading or at best incomplete data got more play than the second more accurate one.

This propaganda my friends is why most Dem Admin avoid economic panics: Masses are kept calm even when things are bad Image
Great headlines all around today about inflation "easing."

July had the worst year over year jump in inflation since the early 1980s but for May and June of this year.

In terms of inflation the last 24 months, July was still the worst since the 1980's.

Rejoice. "Eased." Image

Five hours after the #BidenRaidOnTrump news broke, yet there is still no tweet from @LeaderMcConnell or his @NRSC.

"Vote Republican" means empowering the wing of the GOP that helped legitimize the abuse of power of the last 7 years.
No tweet yet from the @SenateGOP about the #BidenRaidOnTrump.

The leadership of the Senate GOP is garbage:

They repeatedly lined up 12-17 members to vote with Biden.

They cheered on collusion hoax; Mueller and 1/6 hype.

50 Senate Dems pass Lib stuff cuz Senate GOP is a joke.
🚨 It's 5+ hours after news of the #BidenRaidOnTrump broke, yet there are no tweets from the top 5 @SenateGOP's and their affiliated accounts: @LeaderMcConnell
@SenJohnThune @SenJohnBarrasso @RoyBlunt @joniernst

Now you know why GOPs lost GA Runoffs and Biden had legis wins!
