Donald Trump Announces Mar-A-Lago "Raided, Under Siege, And Occupied" By The FBI​

BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, AUG 08, 2022 - 04:08 PM
Moments ago, Donald Trump - who is still banned by Twitter - published a statement on Truth Social in which he said that his Florida home, Mar A Lago is “currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents", an assault which according to Trump "could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries." He is probably right. He also claims the Fed's presence was unannounced and the reason was politically motivated.
His full statement posted on his Truth Social account is below:

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the
United States of America
These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.
The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more, it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!
Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture, and other items from the White House.
I stood up to America's bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories, and see my dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop me, and the Republican Party, once more. The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped.

I will continue to fight for the Great American People!

Local reporters confirmed the raid, saying the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. "They just left," although it isn't clear what the search was about.

While we await more information on what the FBI was doing at Mar-A-Lago or what they may have found, here are some kneejeak reactions.

They keep trying to move the goalposts of what Trump has to release to prove his innocence, believing that they will finally be able to find the line they can harp on to say "SEE! HE'S HIDING SOMETHING!" and it Keeps. Fucking. Backfiring. Almost as if trump is actually innocent!

All the media has done over the past six years is convinced me that Trump is one of the cleanest motherfuckers to be in the Beltway in decades.

Republicans will have to buck break California and starve them of federal funds at some point.

Majority of the ideology and lunacy against him, along with the insane framing of Trump. Is coming out of this state.

Time to go touch some grass (instead of touching myself at night).

(instead of touching myself at night)

Learn all the time zones and keep flying between them. If you chose them correctly, it will be night all the time, and hence, you can touch yourself all the time.

That's good, practical advice - thanks. But I think I'll just go and live on the dark side of the moon. I need to get the fuck away from Clown Planet, innawoods ain't far enough anymore.

This fact check on the topic is amazing to me.

Social Media, Politicians Make Unfounded Claims of Politicized Mar-a-Lago Search - FactCheck.org

FBI agents searched the home of former President Donald Trump in Florida on Aug. 8 looking for presidential records and classified materials that were improperly removed from the White House. Social media posts claiming the FBI search was politically motivated have been swirling online, despite...

Firstly, Factcheck.org can't even rate the claim false. They say "no evidence" LOL. Secondly, 2 of the 9 sources cited in this fact check are factcheck.org. 2 more are twitter. 1 more is an archived Trump tweet from 2017. One of the sources is a transcript from the white house press secretary.

Will the FBI finally liberate those ten bucks I lent to Trump?

he's not clean, he just did business with intelligent crooks instead of stupid ones

which is the difference between American businessmen and American politicans. While Trump was working with people like Roy Cohn, who was the current Democratic establishment working with? people like Jim Jones.

 

[Sprocket]

These retards are discussing this topic right now, making the same arguments they get mocked in this thread for. Link involves installing an app, only go through with it if its that worth your daily stupid.

Important questions will be answered. For one, did the FBI agents actually sniff Melanias panties. The American people deserve to know.

Ima let Judge Smails respond because my own initial reply was far to vile and inflammatory:

Colorado river. Those stupid fucks (southern California) live and farm in a desert, and would be buckbroken by water usage cuts. They've been pawning off the cuts on other states for years now, so there's lots of anger from their neighbors about it.

Wouldn't work. California is the number one tax revenue contributor among the 50 states, providing 2½ times as much money as the second highest-paying state. If Republicans tried to cut California off from federal funds, California could just stop contributing to those funds, which would have a much larger impact on the states that rely on that money.

Similarly, California is the largest agriculture and manufacturing producer in the US. If you were to starve them of federal funds, the entire country would be impacted. They've essentially made themselves too big to fail by being the largest contributor to the country.
