In a significant development, it has come to light that the Biden administration approved the use of harmful force during the FBI raid on the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Trump. This startling revelation, related to an investigation about confidential documents, was found in court records. The details of this operation were found in the ‘Operations Order’ unveiled as part of the inquiry helmed by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
This investigation aimed to delve into supposed irregularities regarding the retention of classified documents by Trump. The disclosed ‘Operations Order’ revealed the FBI had a clear objective for their operation on Trump’s Florida residence. The purpose of the action was to apprehend ‘classified information, NDI, and US Government records’ as explained in the search order.
The order included an alarming ‘Policy Statement’, specifically addressing the ‘Use of Deadly Force.’ The statement detailed criteria under which law enforcement officers from the Department of Justice could apply deadly force, if deemed necessary. Such a directive, specifically for a raid on a former President’s estate, raises several troubling questions about the extent of forces used by Biden’s administration.
Details about the raid’s equipment planning also emerged. The dossier shows that officers were prepared with ‘Standard Issue Weapons,’ ‘Ammo,’ ‘Handcuffs,’ and tools like ‘medium and large-sized bolt cutters.’ However, the agents were directed to ensure their attire didn’t reveal their law enforcement affiliations, by wearing ‘unmarked polo or collared shirts’ and ensuring ‘law enforcement equipment concealed.’ Embellishing so much secrecy for such an operation suggests an unsettling approach by the present administration.
Meanwhile, former President Trump was engrossed in another legal battle in a New York City court. This case, distinct from the Mar-a-Lago investigation, emerged from the probe led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The prosecution claims that Trump falsified business records, adding yet another layer to his contentious legal struggles.
Trump shared his thoughts on these revelations in the aftermath of his court session in Manhattan or as he put it, the ‘Icebox.’ The details of the preparedness of the FBI to use lethal force during the Mar-a-Lago raid asset by Biden’s DOJ were divulged to him, sparking his potent response. ‘WOW! On accruing knowledge from Reports that Biden’s DOJ, following an illegitimate and unconstitutional raid, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY FORCE… NOW WE KNOW, JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY,’ Trump expressed on his Truth Social platform.
Trump didn’t stop at just indicating the threat to democracy; he forthrightly advocated for the 25TH AMENDMENT declaring Biden mentally unfit to hold the office. ‘HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE — 25TH AMENDMENT!’ Whether this holds any substance, or is a reactive outburst to the mentioned raid revelations remains to be seen, as the battle continues.
The Justice Department and FBI have held their silence for now, with neither organizations providing any official responses to Fox News Digital’s request for commentary about these developments. Similarly, the White House, seemingly caught in the eye of this storm, also refrained from commenting on Fox News Digital’s request.
Meanwhile, charges continue to stack up against former President Trump. He’s been legally implicated due to Smith’s exploration of his retention of classified information. Trump has consistently pled not guilty to every one of the 37 felony charges for this case resulting from Special Counsel Smith’s investigation. These include severe accusations like willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false assertions.
In addition to these, there’s another indictment to consider. Trump faces three extra counts from a superseding indictment connected to the same investigation. These consist of an account of willful retention of national defense information and two obstruction charges. These accusations further exacerbate the former President’s precarious legal position.
Presiding over this case is Judge Aileen Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Required to handle the matter with meticulous neutrality, she has decided to delay the trial emerging from Smith’s case indefinitely, adding further uncertainty to the proceedings.
The trial, previously scheduled to begin on May 20, no longer has a clear start date. The indefinite postponement leaves room for further investigations and preparation. As such, observers and interested parties are left in suspense until a new date gives the trial structure and momentum.
Overall, these dramatic developments paint a compelling, if troubling, picture of current U.S. political dynamics. Former President Trump’s ongoing legal struggles combined with the revelations about deadly force authorizations suggest a troubling shift in the political landscape. As all players remain on their toes, the world watches eagerly, awaiting the fate of democracy under the present administration.
