The Short Life (And Amazingly Fast Death) Of The FBI’s Mar-A-Lago Play

Our country is far from healthy today, but a collective laugh at the FBI’s joke of an affidavit is a long-needed step in the right direction.

The FBI’s news cycle just ain’t the same as it once was.

Mere moments after the Department of Justice and FBI released the near-completely redacted affidavit they used to justify raiding former President Donald Trump’s home, their super-dooper-secrecy was the subject of widespread ridicule.

They didn’t even catch a full minute’s peace. No Republican senators rushed to their defense (though a few were notably quiet). There was no “let’s wait and see” from the usual deep state apologists.

Instead, both Republican politicians and center-right media were quick to hit back against what they correctly viewed as a middle finger to both the court that ordered the affidavit’s release, and the American people who expect transparency when the state raids its political opponents.

It’s good to see. It’s strong and healthy that not all Americans nod along when the FBI targets former presidents, murmuring that he must have done something wrong. This wasn’t always the case, though.

Just a few short years ago, the Department of Justice would enjoy the benefit of the doubt, from voters and politicians alike. Seven short years ago, we would have wondered what Trump had done that was so bad the straight-shooters at the DOJ couldn’t even tell us.

Today, a plurality of independent voters, a strong majority of Republican voters, and 20 percent of Democrats believe the DOJ and FBI “are too political, corrupt, and not to be trusted,” according to Trafalgar Group polling.

Bad enough that the DOJ/FBI has become the largest crime conglomerate present in the country.

Now half of the country is laughing at your ass too.

Looks like Garland messed up the timing.  The Feebs and DoJ are not being cut the slack they used to get as soon as a couple years ago.  Instead of taking months to bask in good standing with the public, they were being shot to pieces starting within hours, and their flailing at justifying the Mar-a-Lago raid gets worse by the day.

Even Democrats were saying within a day after the raid that this had better be about something more substantial than a dispute with the National Archives.

Garland would have been more successful had he waited until October to spring the surprise.  Ultimately, it may come out that the FBI was really searching for what dirt Trump had on them.

If only the GOP would do something to investigate the rogue agencies after winning the House, but McCarthy hasn't got the testicles.

What is going to kill GOP GOTV is when you have flaccid, inept, POS leaders like Turtle, and McCarthy, who will just perpetuate via complicity what has become the socialist disaster.

As some point, you gotta say, what's the use?
