Records Prove Biden's DOJ Ordered Mar-a-Lago Raid Over FBI Objections

The picture of the Biden administration's weaponization of federal law enforcement keeps getting uglier. New records that Judicial Watch obtained reveal that the FBI's own agents believed there was no legal basis for the Aug. 8, 2022, raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, and they said so repeatedly.

The Biden DOJ didn't care.

We obtained 207 pages of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) records that reveal the FBI’s concerns about the legal basis for the raid of then-former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

The records expose deep concerns within the FBI itself, including explicit objections from field agents who warned the U.S. Department of Justice that the unprecedented August 8, 2022, raid on Trump’s home lacked probable cause.

We uncovered the documents in response to a March 11, 2026, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request regarding the counterintelligence investigation codenamed Plasmic Echo—a “sensitive investigative matter” launched following a referral from the National Archives and Records Administration.

The records include a July 13, 2022, email between FBI field agents explicitly stating they did not believe probable cause existed to search Mar-a-Lago and urging the Justice Department to cooperate with Trump’s attorney instead of insisting on a raid

1. LIEden's minions in the National Archives were negotiating in bad faith. They were a ruse to camouflage LIEden's and his minions' true purpose.

2. The FBI manager-agents overseeing the search plans knew and informed their higher-ups that there was no Probable Cause that justified the MaL invasion.

3. And LIEden's fishing expedition STILL came up empty!

HS student suspended for ‘We ♥️ ICE’ flyers gets discipline expunged after free speech group inquiry

https://www.thecollegefix.com/hs-student-suspended-for-we-♥%EF%B8%8F-ice-flyers-gets-discipline-expunged-after-free-speech-group-inquiry/

A California high school junior suspended for posting pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement flyers around school in response to an anti-ICE student walkout has had his discipline record rescinded after a free speech group intervened.

In mid-February, the Torrey Pines High School student’s flyers, which read “We ♥️ ICE — Real Americans,” resulted in his suspension for “harassment” and “intimidation,” according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, aka FIRE.

KGTV reports the student said one school official told him the flyers, which were “displayed in a common area where other students have posted political material,” were “demonizing and hateful.”

Two weeks prior during a school-day anti-ICE student protest, several demonstrators held signs reading “If You’re an I.C.E. Agent Ya Mom’s a Hoe!!,” “**** ICE,” and “ICE is KKK spelled differently.”

Were I this student's Dad I'd be watching that high school's adminicrats like a hawk. Until the student finished college! Defeated Progs will probably attempt to take revenge on the winner.

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Called Jesus a 'Zombie' and the Virgin Mary 'a Skank' in Unearthed Reddit Post

https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/maine-democrat-graham-platner-called-jesus-a-zombie-and-the-virgin-mary-a-skank-in-unearthed-reddit-post/

Graham Platner, a Democratic Senate candidate from Maine known for his now-covered Nazi tattoo, described himself as so "crudely atheist" that he derided Jesus Christ as a "zombie" and the Virgin Mary as "a skank" in a newly uncovered Reddit post.

In the post, Platner responded to a 2008 lawsuit that claimed a soldier was denied a promotion for not embracing "fundamentalist Christianity." Platner asked, "What units is this shit in?" and stated that while "I've spent 8 years in the infantry … I've been about as crudely atheist as one can be the entire time." Platner cited "zombie jesus jokes and Mary sucking at covering up being a skank" as examples of what he found humorous during his years in the military.

The post is still live but doesn't display its author. An archived version of the post reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon shows it belongs to a now-deleted account associated with Platner. The post was first highlighted by conservative commentator Greg Price.

This is pretty much par for the modern Dem course, sadly. And not exactly all that recent, as Swillwell's predecessor Pete Stark was a rather arrogant obnoxoid among atheists.
