Merrick Garland Suggests DOJ Sought ‘Less Intrusive’ Means Before Trump Raid

Attorney General Merrick Garland suggested Thursday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) sought “less intrusive” means of obtaining presidential documents before using a search warrant, and an FBI raid, on former President Donald Trump’s home.

As we await AG Merrick Garland and his statement, a senior WH official tells me the Biden WH was not informed this was happening:
"We have had no notice that he was giving remarks and no briefing on the content of them."



So, what the WH is saying is...they had no idea about the raid and now no knowledge of the press conference?

Sounds to me like Joe has a rogue DOJ on their hands.

Yep.  That affidavit will have the informant's signature on it.  And per Garland, he has already filed a motion with the South Florida court to have that information released.

Isn't what happened here ... that Garland wants the inventory of what was taken made public...to call Pres. Trump's 'Bluff'?

Merrick Garland is a lying POS.

Karine Jean-Pierre admitted as such two days ago.  She said that there was no communication between the White House and the Justice Dept. Yet the statement offered today hints of an expectation that such conversations do indeed occur.

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
You know what I haven't seen in all this is the laying out by the DOJ what steps were taken to resolve this accusation and resolve the issue without a insane 9 hour search of a former Presidents residence and the reason is patently obvious. They did it this way not because they had to but because they wanted to know the the fourth branch of the socialist democrat government would fill the airwaves and internet with lies and innuendo all in attempt to destroy Trump. All these idiots have done is to fire up the base and outrage American's on the edge driving them to the right.

 They can't comprehend that though Trump is the face of the movement that even if they take him down with their lies the movement remains and will only get stronger. If they think removing Trump from running will result in say DeSantis running and that that will make it easier for them to keep the White House or anything else they are even stupider than I thought and I had a pretty low opinion of them to begin with.

They've drunk too much of their own kool-aid, and are convinced that the entire country, except for a few "deplorables" here and there hate Trump just as much as they do and want to see Trump taken down, by any means necessary.

Garland appeared 'put out' today, annoyed that he actually had to address the unwashed masses on this.  In other words, he came across as some elitist putz.

Nope!  Cannot share your optimism here.

Without the media microphone, we're going to lose even worse than 2020.

Mail-in voting means defeat plain and simple.

They want MAGA to be pissed off and strong in the same way we might want the woke crowd to be pissed off and strong.  What they are doing is intentionally making Trump a folk hero to the MAGA crowd. They know this.  It is intentional.  They want Trump to be the nominee.  It might be a stupid strategy, but it is all they have because nothing fires up their base like TDS.

Don't think any of this is intended to keep Trump from running.  They want him to be the GOP nominee.  They have nothing else.

The Democrats have picked the GOP candidate every election since 2008.  They tried mightily in 2000, but failed.

WATCH: Democrat Pays to Fly ‘Ha Ha’ Banner over Trump’s Home After FBI Raid

A Florida man commissioned a plane to fly a banner reading “Ha ha ha ha ha” over former President Donald Trump’s home on Wednesday following the FBI’s raid.

It happened while Trump’s supporters gathered outside the home to protest the FBI’s actions, NBC Miami reported.

Thomas Kennedy said he and friends paid $1,800 to have the banner flown near the estate for several hours.

On what appeared to be his Twitter page, Kennedy described himself as an organizer, writer, immigrant, and Democrat National Committee member.

I admit, I didn't sit down and listen to everything Garland said.

But did I misunderstand or did he say he would unseal the docs but it would be up to Trump to release them?

AG GARLAND says the "Justice Department has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal a search warrant" pertaining to the former president's property, after Trump publicized the search.

So when they were at Mar-a-Lago in June and Trump willingly handed over 15 boxes of something-or-other, that technique couldn't be used again?

True. The FBI no longer waits for their 'target' to break the law. The FBI does it for them. And then blames the target(s) for what they themselves did.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Of course they will.  That's has pretty much been the expectation of many.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

We have to prove that Trump and his supporters are criminals! No matter what it takes. That is the singular mission of the FBI!
