Jerome Corsi Exclusive: Is the Biden Administration Trying to Kill Presidential Contenders Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.?

Guest post by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.

With the FBI scrambling desperately to claim the authorization to use deadly force in the Mar-a-Lago was “standard operating procedure” for an FBI raid, the fact remains the force authorization documents allowed the FBI to exchange fire with the Secret Service should former Donald Trump be perceived to be taking steps to impede the FBI search for classified documents.

The question arises whether the Biden administration and the FBI would go so far as to kill a former president, who is the leading presidential contender to President Biden in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.

The question also arises as to why the Biden administration still refuses to provide Secret Service protection to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.? Secret Service protection was offered by law to all presidential candidates 120 days out from the election after Kennedy’s father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. was shot dead in Los Angeles in 1968.

What is apparent is that the Biden administration’s Department of Justice has become a purely partisan political enforcement agency more concerned about Catholics who, like the Latin Mass, that military age foreigners crossing the Mexican border into the United States, without first applying for visas to enter the country.

The Department of Justice’s disgrace is compounded by lawfare prosecutions of President Trump in both New York and Georgia. We have yet to see the prosecutor in either of these cases present evidence of an actual crime. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s visage displays loathing for Trump, in a case that should have been dismissed along with Smith’s admission that his office lied about the location of certain boxes seized in the now suspect Mar-a-Lago raid.

These questions are especially pertinent in light of the book Dr. David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. and I published recently, The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis .l’, in which Dr. Mantik presents forensic evidence based on his optical density measurements of the three extant JFK autopsy skull X-rays in the National Archives today.

Dr. Mantik’s analysis proves all three X-rays are forgeries, altered to mask evidence of frontal shots. Moreover, Dr. Mantik produces CSI evidence from his analysis of the skull X-rays that two shots from the front hit JFK’s head, plus a shot from the rear, fired at a low angle.

None of the JFK headshots evident in the X-rays was from the angle required for the shot to have originated from the sixth-floor corner window of the Texas School Book Depository.

In other words, Dr. Mantik has proved the JFK assassination was a deep state coup d’état that the federal government has lied about for 61 years, refusing even today to release thousands of yet secret JFK assassination documents required to be released by the 1992 JFK Records Act.

November 22, 1963, the day JFK was assassinated, was the day the deep state decided to take over the operation of the U.S. government.

We now know the Department of Justice has gone rogue in a mad determination to prevent former President Donald Trump from campaigning. We also know the Department of Justice has forced Robert Kennedy, Jr. to spend thousands of dollars on private security. Instead of protecting both candidates, the Biden administration appears to be taking orders from deep state operatives who are reluctant to allow into power two candidates who every day have new reasons to ensure that as president, they would make sure all secrets about the JFK assassination are revealed—information that would put light on the deep state’s efforts today to make sure neither Donald J. Trump or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are inaugurated president on January 20, 2025.

Dr. Corsi’s most recent book is his second book on the JFK assassination: David Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. and Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D. The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis: Forensic Analysis of the JFK Autopsy X-Rays Proves Two Headshots from the Front and One from the Rear. Since 2004, Jerome R. Corsi has published over 30 books on economics, history, and politics, including two #1 New York Times bestsellers. In 1972, he received his Ph.D. from the Department of Government at Harvard University. His book, Volume I, in his Great Awakening Trilogy, The Truth About Energy, Global Warming, and Climate Change: Exposing Climate Lies in an Age of Disinformation, received highly positive reviews from prominent climate scientists and professional meteorologists. Volume II, The Truth About Neo-Marxism, Cultural Maoism, and Anarchy: Exposing Woke Insanity in an Age of Disinformation, was published in August 2023. Dr. Corsi has resumed podcasting on his new website TheTruthCentral.com.

Faith-Driven Gold Company Issues Warning About “Going To The Moon” Gold Price Predictions

The precious metals industry is reeling from a prediction made by highly respected economist Jim Rickards. That combined with record gold and silver prices have prompted many Americans to consider moving their wealth or retirement into precious metals, but a faith-driven gold company issued a warning ahead of such moves.

According to Rickards, gold prices could surpass $27,000 per ounce soon. This is an update of a recent prediction.

“I’ve previously said that gold could reach $15,000 by 2026,” Rickards began. “Today, I’m updating that forecast. My latest forecast is that gold may actually exceed $27,000. I don’t say that to get attention or to shock people. It’s not a guess; it’s the result of rigorous analysis.”

Many precious metals companies seized on the prediction with marketing outreach that told investors and retirees to move portions of their portfolios into gold. But for Jonathan Rose at Genesis Gold Group, Rickards’ prediction opens the door for swindling.

“When these companies can get people thinking along the lines of $27,000 an ounce, they can take advantage of people by dramatically overcharging for their precious metals products today,” Rose said. “This is why they offer thousands of dollars in ‘free’ silver in hopes of getting people to act out of fear of missing out.”

Genesis Gold Group specializes in Genesis Gold IRAs backed by physical precious metals. They offer a free, definitive gold guide and focus on educating Americans to help them navigate the potentially treacherous financial waters.

As a faith-driven company, Genesis wants people to make intelligent decisions based on reality, not fear or false hope.

“Look, we’ll be ecstatic if Rickards’ predictions pan out because we’ll know our clients are going to be doing very well,” Rose said. “What we don’t want is for them to overpay for precious metals today because the sales rep at another company sold them on the idea that gold and silver are going to the moon.”

Rose’s reasoned and honest approach to precious metals matches with the Biblical principles driving his company. According to Rose, precious metals should be seen as long-term investments to protect one’s life’s savings, not as a get-rich-quick scheme.

“The upside on gold and silver is great which is why I wouldn’t dismiss Rickards’ predictions,” he said. “But I’ve been in the business long enough to know how other precious metals companies will use this prediction to their benefit, not the benefit of their fellow Americans.”

American Airlines Blames 9-Year-Old for Being Secretly Recorded by Flight Attendant’s iPhone Taped to Toilet in Plane Bathroom

American Airlines blamed a 9-year-old child for being secretly recorded in the plane’s bathroom.

Several lawsuits were filed against the airliner after a flight attendant taped an iPhone to the toilet seat in the plane lavatory and secretly recorded young teens and prepubescent children.

In the original lawsuit filed by a North Carolina family, the girl and her parents allege that American Airlines “knew or should have known the flight attendant was a danger.”

The flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, 36, was charged with one count of attempted sexual exploitation of children, and one count of possession of child pornography depicting a prepubescent minor. Thompson is currently in federal custody and pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Estes Carter Thompson III

The girl used the bathroom and then noticed an iPhone taped to the lid under a sticker saying the seat was broken. She only saw it because the flash was glowing.

Other minor females, including a girl as young as 9 were also secretly recorded.

In a legal filing, American Airlines said the 9-year-old’s “injury or illness” was caused by her “own fault and negligence.”

After major backlash, American Airlines walked back their statement about the child and claimed it was released in error.

“Our outside legal counsel retained with our insurance company made an error in this filing. The included defense is not representative of our airline and we have directed it be amended this morning,” American Airlines said. “We do not believe this child is at fault and we take the allegations involving a former team member very seriously.”

The Boston Herald reported:

American Airlines, facing lawsuits after a flight attendant allegedly filmed girls using plane bathrooms, is blaming a 9-year-old girl for being secretly recorded.

The airline in a new court filing is arguing that the young girl should have known that the airplane toilet contained a recording device.

“Defendant would show that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff, Mary Doe, were proximately caused by Plaintiff’s own fault and negligence,” American Airlines’ lawyers wrote in their defense filing.

The airline’s attorneys added about the 9-year-old girl using “the compromised lavatory” on the plane: “She knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device.”

The lawsuits against American Airlines started after a former flight attendant was arrested in connection with allegedly recording a 14-year-old girl in a plane’s bathroom on a Boston-bound flight.

Estes Carter Thompson III, 36, of Charlotte, N.C., also allegedly had recordings of four other girl passengers using airplane lavatories — including the 9-year-old girl, who’s from Texas and was flying with her family to go to Disneyland.

“Why Should He Have to Do It?” – WOW! White House Says It’s Not Biden’s Job to Secure the Border Amid Invasion of Military-Age Men (VIDEO)

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday said it is not Joe Biden’s job to secure the US border amid an invasion of millions of military-age men from the most dangerous parts of the world.

More than 10 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men – have invaded the US since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.

Illegals from the most dangerous parts of the world including the Middle East and Africa, have crossed over the border.

Illegal aliens corraled in into a fenced off area in Eagle Pass, Texas thanks to Joe Biden’s open border policies.

Illegal aliens are raping and murdering innocent Americans

And what does the White House say about the invasion and carnage: It’s not Biden’s job to secure the border.

It is literally Biden’s Constitutional duty to secure the US border.

“The president has the authority to do something about this unilaterally – Congress is in a divided government – why isn’t [Biden] doing anything?” Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked Karine Jean-Pierre.

“Why should he have to do it unilaterally?” Karine Jean-Pierre said.

Jacqui Heinrich replied, “He took unilateral action before to undo [President Trump’s border security]!”

Congress to Subpoena Jen Psaki for False Claims in Her Book and Role in Catastrophic Afghanistan Withdrawal Resulting in Deaths of 13 American Heroes

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has issued a formal request for former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki to testify.

The committee seeks answers regarding her role in the Biden regime’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan—a horrific incident that tragically resulted in the deaths of 13 brave American servicemembers.

McCaul, in a letter addressed to Emily Loeb, Psaki’s counsel, demanded that Psaki arrange a transcribed interview by May 28, 2024. The chairman criticized Psaki for advancing “untrue” narratives about the withdrawal process and the non-combatant evacuation operation that ensued during the chaotic Taliban takeover in August 2021.

“The Committee’s thorough investigation points to Ms. Psaki as having played an important role in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the deadly August 2021 non-combatant evacuation operation,” wrote Chairman McCaul.

“As White House Press Secretary throughout this period, Ms. Psaki was charged with communicating the withdrawal to the American people and possesses key insights into the planning and decision-making regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal, the rapid Taliban takeover, and the evacuation of American citizens and Afghan allies. Ms. Psaki unfortunately advanced narratives regarding the withdrawal and evacuation that my investigation has proven untrue.”

The request follows extensive committee efforts to uncover the truth behind the withdrawal, which not only cost American lives but also left over 170 Afghan civilians dead and numerous others injured. The committee has already conducted interviews with 17 U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense officials and reviewed over 10,000 pages of documents.

Adding to the controversy is Psaki’s recent memoir, Say More: Lessons from Work, the White House, and the World, where she discusses her tenure and the withdrawal. McCaul pointed out discrepancies in her account, notably her claim that President Biden never looked at his watch during the dignified transfer ceremony of the fallen servicemembers—a point widely criticized and viewed as disrespectful by many.

Psak claimed that Joe Biden never looked at his watch during a ceremony for the return of the service members who were killed during his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In a twist of nearly perfect irony, Psaki claims that in saying this, she was fighting misinformation. Even some liberal news outlets are calling her out on this.

Read the letter below:

Dear Mrs. Loeb,

Thank you for your September 18 and 28, 2023 letters on behalf of your client Jen Psaki in response to the Committee’s September 2023 request that she appear for a transcribed interview regarding her role in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. We are also in receipt of the September 18 and 28, 2023 letters from Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber, which fail to justify Ms. Psaki’s deliberate noncompliance with a Congressional inquiry. As a private citizen and former federal employee, the Committee expects Ms. Psaki to appear before it to answer questions regarding her role in the catastrophic withdrawal, which killed 13 U.S. servicemembers and over 170 Afghan civilians, and injured 45 U.S. servicemembers and countless Afghans.

Upon taking the chairmanship, I launched a fact-based investigation into the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in the interest of oversight and accountability, and to help prevent another such disaster from occurring in the future. To date, the Committee has interviewed 17 current and former U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense officials involved in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Committee has also held numerous public hearings with senior government officials, including former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, and Commander of U.S. Central Command, General Frank McKenzie. Further, the Committee has led a rigorous discovery process, and has reviewed over 10,000 pages of agency documents, including interview notes from the Department of State’s After-Action Review led by Ambassador Dan Smith.

The Committee’s thorough investigation points to Ms. Psaki as having played an important role in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the deadly August 2021 non-combatant evacuation operation. As White House Press Secretary throughout this period, Ms. Psaki was charged with communicating the withdrawal to the American people and possesses key insights into the planning and decision-making regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal, the rapid Taliban takeover, and the evacuation of American citizens and Afghan allies. Ms. Psaki unfortunately advanced narratives regarding the withdrawal and evacuation that my investigation has proven untrue.

It appears Ms. Psaki acknowledges her own involvement, given her recent memoir, Say More: Lessons from Work, the White House, and the World, which includes information related to the Afghanistan withdrawal, including a false claim that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for the 13 U.S. servicemembers killed under his leadership. It is troubling that Ms. Psaki seeks to profit off the Afghanistan tragedy, and has felt comfortable writing accounts and making them available to the general public, but refuses to make herself available to Congress, the branch dedicated to representing the interest and will of the American people.

Pursuant to the request for exhaustion raised in Mr. Sauber’s September 18 and 28, 2023 letters, the Committee has already attempted to obtain the information it needs to complete its investigation from the State Department, Department of Defense, and other relevant entities and individuals. It, however, has been unable to do so with respect to the narrative Ms. Psaki shaped and public relations strategy she led. My request is in accordance with standard precedent, including established practice during the Biden administration. Given that the Biden White House publicly supported Congressional interviews of former Trump officials, I fail to understand why Ms. Psaki insists on a double standard, now rejecting similar calls for accountability, unless it is her contention that the deaths of Americans and allies are not extraordinary circumstances.

Accordingly, the Committee requests that arrangements be made by Ms. Psaki to schedule her transcribed interview no later than May 28, 2024. Given the evasions by Ms. Psaki throughout this investigation, the Committee requests Ms. Psaki’s appearance before it on one of the specified dates below.

June 12, 2024
June 26, 2024
July 9, 2024

As a private citizen, willing and able to publish a memoir on her tenure as White House Press Secretary, I encourage Ms. Psaki to refrain from relying on thin legal arguments to dodge her responsibility to appear before Congress. The Committee will not tolerate Ms. Psaki’s continued obstruction of its critical investigation and is prepared to use all the tools at its disposal to ensure America’s representatives speak with her.

I look forward to your prompt reply.

Illinois Set to Change Description of  ‘Offender’ to ‘Justice-Impacted Individual’ in State Law

Illinois State Sen. Robert Peters sponsored House Bill 4409 to change “offender” to “justice-impacted individual” in state law.

In a move that seems like parody, but sadly isn’t, a bill that passed both houses in Illinois yesterday would change the word “offender” to “justice-impacted individual” in state law.

Illinois House Bill 4409 also adds Illinois Department of Corrections representation to the Adult Redeploy Illinois oversight board.

After passing both the House and Senate, it can now be sent to the governor for further action.

From the bill:

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Crime Reduction Act of 2009. Changes references from “offenders” to “justice-impacted individuals”. Provides that funds shall be distributed via a grant program (rather than allotment of funds shall be based on a formula). Provides that the Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board is created to oversee, provide guidance, and develop an administrative structure for the Adult Redeploy Illinois Program. Provides that once all members have been appointed, the Board may exercise any power, perform any function, take any action, or do anything in furtherance of its purposes and goals upon the appointment of a quorum of its members. Establishes specified membership on the Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board. Provides that the Oversight Board shall, in addition to its other duties establish a grant program (rather than develop a formula) for the allotment of funds to local jurisdictions for local and community-based services in lieu of commitment to the Department of Corrections and a penalty amount for failure to reach the goal of reduced commitments stipulated in the plans. Provides that grant funds awarded shall be administered by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, in coordination with the Oversight Board, and shall be consistent with the requirements of the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act. Provides that the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority shall provide administrative support to the Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board.

The Center Square reports:

The ARI program aims to reduce crime and recidivism at a lower cost to taxpayers through community services as an alternative to prison. Proponents said the ARI program is successful in reducing crime and that it has eligibility requirements, specifically individuals in the program have to be first-time offenders.

State Sen. Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, urged lawmakers to vote no.

“Over and over again, we keep changing the name of how we are referring to those who have entered into criminal activity and each time we make that change, each agency has to make that change on every one of their documents. Right now in the Department of Corrections, there’s multiple changes that have been made and it’s costing thousands and thousands of dollars just to do a name change. Why is it necessary to make the name change?” Bryant said Tuesday.

****

Republicans said the focus shouldn’t be on what they called the “poor offender” but rather on the victims of violent crimes. State Sen. Steve McClure, R-Springfield, brought up how the Prisoner Review Board released Crosetti Brand, the man who killed 11-year-old Jayden Perkins a day after his release. He said Brand wasn’t a justice-impacted individual but rather an offender.

During the debate on the bill, McClure pressed State Sen. Robert Peters, the bill’s sponsor,  for a definition of what “justice-impacted individual” means.

Peters responded, “That means someone who has been impacted by the criminal justice system and is an individual. We [in this bill] don’t mess with anything in regards to the term ‘victim,’ we just change the word ‘offender’ to ‘justice-impacted individual.’”

McClure then asked, “So are you changing what victims are referred to? Are they going to be going to be referred to as ‘criminally-impacted individuals?’”

Peters responded, “Sometimes we refer to victims as ‘survivors.’ Survivors of violent crime, sometimes survivors of domestic violence. So we use multiple terms for a lot of different people for a lot of different things.”

McClure shot back, “So are you saying the bill changes the word victims multiple times? Or is there no change at all to the word victims within the legislation? Or is the word victims not in the legislation at all?”

Peters replied, “Well, we don’t mess with anything in terms of the word victim. We just changed offender to justice- impacted individual.”

Watch:

Illinois legislators are also pushing a bill to change “armed habitual criminal” to “persistent unlawful possession of a weapon.”

Sen. Peters was a key supporter of ending cash bail in the state.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Illinois became the first state in the U.S. to entirely abolish cash bail which was a massive win for criminals.

Border Patrol Sees a Spike in Suicides Under Biden

Since 2020, the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has seen “skyrocketing” rates of suicides among its agents. In 2022, the most recent year for which CBP has published data, there were 14 suicides among Border Patrol agents, nearly three times the number of CBP suicides in 2014, and almost twice the amount reported in 2020.

This increase in the rate has been due to both the increases in illegal border crossings—with there being over 8.1 million since the beginning of Biden’s term in 2021—as well as an overall sense of “abandonment” by the Biden administration. 

Another cause of the suicide rate is the grotesque carnage left in the wake of human traffickers on the border. It is not uncommon for CBP agents to find human remains, dead or dying children, and “abuse of every kind” perpetrated by human traffickers and smugglers.  

The CBP maintains an active suicide prevention program and provides all CBP employees and their families with free confidential counseling covered by their Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Those who enroll in this program, however, get reassigned to desk jobs, face pay cuts, and are placed under the same protocol as agents under disciplinary action. Other forces securing the border have also faced suicides in recent years, with the Texas Military Department reporting that two National Guardsmen had died by suicide in 2021.

Former Mayoral Candidate in Florida Arrested After Robbing Dollar General at Gunpoint

Screenshot: WCTV

A former Tallahassee mayoral candidate has been arrested after allegedly robbing a Dollar General store at gunpoint.

The Tallahassee Democrat has reported Whitefield Leland, 44, was arrested on several charges, including grand theft of a firearm, robbery with a gun, possession of a firearm by a felon, and resisting arrest.

On Monday, Leland allegedly entered a Dollar General in Tallahassee and demanded cash while holding a manager at gunpoint.

After leaving with the cash, police officers found Leland in a nearby woods after following a trail of cash he had dropped.

— Tallahassee Democrat (@TDOnline) May 21, 2024

Per WCTV:

New information is emerging about an armed robbery at a Dollar General in Tallahassee, that ultimately led to the arrest of former mayoral candidate Whitfield Leland.

The robbery happened Monday morning, at the Dollar General located on W. Brevard Street. Police said Leland held a manager and an employee at gunpoint, and stole cash. It’s not clear how much money Leland allegedly took.

According to an arrest report, Leland took a Dollar General shirt off the employee’s back and put it on himself. “A trail of cash led to the suspect’s location” when he ran, the report states.

WCTV reported on Leland’s 2022 bid for mayor several times, both when he asked the City of Tallahassee to cancel an MLK Day Parade, and when he filed an ethics complaint against several city officials. In October 2022, Leland was sentenced to two months in jail for resisting arrest at a party back in June 2019. He was also handed another ten months on probation.

In 2022, Leland ran in the Tallahassee mayoral race as a non-partisan candidate.

Ballotpedia reported Leland could only garner 5% of the vote and lost the primary to Kristin Dozier, who eventually lost the general election to John Dailey.

WAYNE ROOT: What Would Happen If Republican President Trump Ordered FBI Raid on Obama’s D.C. Mansion and Authorized Use of “Deadly Force?” Be Honest. America Would Be Burning to the Ground This Morning.

By Wayne Allyn Root

Where are the calls for the immediate resignation of FBI Chief Christopher Wray and DOJ Chief/Attorney General Merrick Garland?

I woke up this morning expecting to see headlines announcing either the resignations of this country’s top law enforcement officers, or at the very least, the entire GOP House and Senate standing on the U.S. Capitol Building steps demanding their resignation.

Yet so far, all I hear is crickets.

But didn’t we just find out late yesterday that the FBI authorized the use of “deadly force” in their raid of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home? A FBI SWAT team was actually prepared to confront President Trump. Don’t take my word for it.

The warrant actually says, FBI agents conducting the raid must be prepared “to engage with FPOTUS (former President of United States) and his Secret Service security team.”

This administration green lit a “deadly force” raid against the former President and his Secret Service detail. They were looking for a shootout, FBI vs. Secret Service.

This isn’t America anymore.

This isn’t some rumor. It’s disclosed in federal court documents. We now know the contents of the search warrant. Where is the outrage?

These are Nazi Germany tactics. This is right out of the Gestapo playbook.

Folks, if this doesn’t generate enough outrage to force the resignation of Garland and Wray, then our republic has fallen.

I already know the excuses. The Biden administration will claim these words about “deadly force” are boilerplate- present in all search warrants.

That dog won’t hunt.

First, the FBI SWAT team showed up at Mar-a-Lago

with heavy weapons. They were clearly ready for a shootout at the former President’s home. So, their weapons and attitude matched the words in the warrant. They clearly represented a grave threat to President Trump, his family and staff. Someone could have been killed.

Were they hoping for a confrontation with President Trump?

Was the DOJ/FBI looking for justification to shoot Trump dead?

Were they spoiling for a shootout with Trump’s Secret Service detail?

Did they want a shootout, so they could paint Trump and all his MAGA supporters as violent, extreme “domestic terrorists?”

Were they spoiling for a Ruby Ridge, or David Koresh/Waco siege confrontation?

This isn’t a far-fetched fantasy. We already know the DOJ/FBI set up a major entrapment to induce January 6th peaceful Trump protestors to fight back, be arrested in SWAT raids, face “cruel and unusual punishment” for years in prison without trial, and be painted as “domestic terrorists.”

If you don’t believe me, ask my friend Jake Lang, who just spent his 4thbirthday behind bars without trial, and most of that time, tortured in solitary confinement.

So, knowing this already happened, why would anyone not assume that’s exactly what this same DOJ/FBI wanted to happen at Mar-a-Lago?

Why wouldn’t DOJ lawyers go out of their way to de-escalate the optics by simply taking the words “deadly force” out of the warrant? Why couldn’t they have walked into Mar-a-Lago without any weapons drawn? I’ll tell you why…

Because our government was hoping to provoke a shootout between FBI and Secret Service, and even better, a long siege with the nation watching.

How could this happen in the United States of America? “Use of deadly force” in an FBI raid at a former President’s home for the first time in America’s history, over a nonviolent alleged “crime” that has never been prosecuted in the history of America?

Let’s compare apples to apples.

Let’s say Republican President Donald J. Trump ordered an armed raid on the D.C. mansion of former president Barack Obama for an alleged non-violent crime, and Trump’s DOJ/FBI authorized the use of “deadly force” in the warrant. And then a heavily armed FBI SWAT team showed up at Obama’s home- with Michelle and his daughters present.

Would any excuse work with the American public?

Would black Americans and civil rights attorneys accept the excuse that “deadly force” is always included in every warrant? That this was just a “generic verbiage” issue? That this heavily armed FBI SWAT raid was “standard?”

Do you think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would accept that excuse? How about BLM? Or Maxine Waters? Or AOC and her squad?

How about the liberal mainstream media? Does anyone doubt they would be writing headlines right now igniting a revolution, coup, or civil war?

We all know if this happened to Obama (who really is a criminal, who really did order the illegal spying on Trump), the nation would be burning.

I believe we’d be in the middle of the worst rioting, unrest and anarchy in our nation’s history. I believe black Americans and Democrat leaders would be saying “this is proof America is racist” and “this was an attempt by Trump’s FBI to assassinate Obama.”

How many death threats against President Trump would there be at X and Facebook this morning? I’ll bet millions.

And I know leading black Congresspersons would be standing on the steps of the Capitol Building demanding the immediate resignation of Trump and his FBI Chief and DOJ Chief/AG.

And could you blame them?

It’s just not possible, or acceptable in America, that any President and his AG/DOJ/FBI could, or would, order a raid with “deadly force” on the home of his political opponent, who is leading in the polls, and who was the most recent President of the United States.

But I don’t see the nation burning today. Do you?

I guess Republicans and conservatives aren’t so violent after all. I guess we’re not “domestic terrorists.” I guess despite all our guns, we’re not starting a civil war.

But…

If our GOP Congressional leaders are not standing on the steps of the Capitol Building soon, demanding the immediate resignation of everyone involved in this fiasco, including FBI Chief Christopher Wray and DOJ Chief/AG Merrick Garland, then our Republic has indeed fallen.
