Misc Is it my imagination or is the fbi raid becoming a PR disaster for the DOJ/FBI

I did not yet see Garland's statement. But from what I read, he seemed to be on the defensive. In fact the entire washington establishment seems to be reacted flat or back footed to the growing outrage.

Even officials within the DOJ are criticizing the raid as a disaster. The whitehouse is strangely silent now after reports of elation in the west wing the day of the raid.

Its as if the Rubicon has been crossed.

Donald just earned the nomination for 2024. He has to win. It is a matter of principle now.

I'm curious -as to what to expect- should Trump not be on the ballot -due to charges- stemming from this raid.

You are correct IMO. They often burn themselves with their own dumpster fires.
But they will likely succeed in keeping DJT off the ballot in a few very blue states, making election prospects dicey. They may even feel compelled to resort to a Dallas scenario to finally achieve their goal. Very real possibility. And a really big dumpster fire

I'm not sure how competent or "on the same page" this administration is. Their goal is to keep Trump from winning again, but I sense they lack a genius plan.

Since the supposed head honcho is a drooling mess who can't get his jacket on, Garland probably worked with some behind the scenes string pullers to just "go for it" on the raid.

They tried to play cute with all the downplaying, but now they seem to be surprised at the reaction.

PR-wise, they make themselves look like ham-handed jackwagons. Who would be better off keeping their mouths shut while complete transparency is provided to the American people.

I silently cheer on TPTB every outrageous over reach,
they do a great job dislodging more regular americans
off the fence to eagerly rush to our last corner of sanity.

Even previously non-political non-voters, who couldn't be
bothered, are awakening, finding plenty of motivation now.

It's a race to get to that critical mass awakened to reality
before TPTB noose gets so tight that it chokes off ability
to still resist & fight back.

Panic Early, Beat the Rush!

I listen to the attorney general today. He said no one is above the law. I thought they had a lot of evidence against Hunter Biden. I thought they had a lot of evidence against Hillary. I thought they had stuff on Obama too. Now me I don't believe any home of a former president should ever be raided. they deserve respect. I just wish things were truly equal for one and all.

Folks, y'all need to remember that there ARE Violations of Law*, which punishments include being barred from any elective or appointive government position going forward.
SO, YOU quote the Constitution for the REQUIRED Characteristics, and THEY quote the law(s) that include this provision.




*Yes, I DID type that with a straight face.

Yes, but the office of president isn’t one of them. Constitutional scholars are saying that the constitution itself enumerates the exact requirements for the office, and supersedes USC 18

The FIB has never really accomplished anything other than creating new Timothy McVeighs. I dread to think how many will come out of this and the guilt should be placed firmly on the heads of all members of the FIB, the DOJ and that criminal bastard that stole the White House, joe pedophile biden.

If the FIB were ever any type of crime fighters, they would have arrested that damn pedophile and his crack head son years ago but no, they rather screw up everything they touch than actually enforce laws.

Go to hell fbi, you earned your place at the right hand of the devil.

During the Obama administration, people used to call it the "Just Us Department". The shoe still fits, apparently.

"Nobody is above the law" means that they can go after anyone on the OTHER side. Anybody on the side deemed the correct side will be judged to be pure as the wind driven snow...
