There are lots of questions about this unprecedented use of the federal police powers against a private citizen. Who ordered the raid? Who authorized it? What were they looking for? What did they seize? What was the point of it all, if not to harrass the man the Deep State fears most?
Lots of questions, but a dire dearth of answers. When questions were asked at the White House, President Brandon's natural-haired press secretary said the Big Guy knew nothing. She hastened to add, "...about that. He heard about it on the TV, like everyone else."
Do you believe that neither Brandon nor anybody else in the White House knew that the FBI was about to stage a raid on the residence of a former occupant of the Oval Office? Here's what Liz Wheeler has to
say.
On Wednesday, the lickspittle media were pointing fingers at Christopher Wray, the Director of the FBI. If the Big Guy and his Attorney General, Merrick Garland, didn't know about it (they said), Mr Wray must have "gone rogue", ordering the search off his own bat. Why someone appointed by President Trump (!) would do that was not explained.
Walt thinks that, sometime Wednesday night, Mr Wray reached out to Mr Garland or one of his minions and promised that if he (Wray) was going to go down, others would go down with him. No surprise then that on Thursday morning it was announced that Mr Garland would make an Official Statement in the afternoon.
And so he did, taking responsibility for "authorizing" the search -- a word not totally synonymous with "ordering". In fact, as Dr Taylor Marshall pointed out, it was a Florida magistrate -- an Obama appointee and donor with connections to Jeffrey Epstein -- who actually signed the warrant.
Walt hesitates [but not for long! Ed.] to impute motive to anyone, but, as Liz Wheeler says, President Trump put the kibosh on the appointment of Mr Garland to SCOTUS, so revenge could be his reason for "authorizing" the raid. But he said there was a differentreason, which would be understood once the warrant was unsealed, as requested yesterday by the Department of Justice.
Mr Garland said he didn't make the decision lightly, and filed the motion to unseal was "given the substantial public interest in this matter." Hell yes! We really would like to know! And we don't want to wait for the reveal of what will surely be a highly redacted version of the document. Won't someone please tell us more?
Step forward the Washington Post -- who else -- who reported last night that the G-men were looking for "documents relating to nuclear weapons. Cazart! So that's it? The Orange Man is building an atomic bomb in his basement, for use in the impending insurrection!
Walt can hardly wait to find out exactly what documents were recovered. Could they include Nuclear Fission for Dummies or the August 1945 issue of Popular Science, which included an article headed "How to make your own A-bomb for fun and profit"? Seems to me there'd better be more than that... a lot more!
UPDATE ADDED at 1130: Breitbart News complete report on the warrant and list of what was seized. (Spoiler alert: Most of the listed are items are simply called "documents".) We now have even more questions than clear answers.
