With all of the shenanigans happening in DC, the following factor President Donald Trump may have FBI brokers raiding Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington.
It will likely be just like the raid on Mar-a-Lago by Biden’s Justice Division when armed FBI brokers swooped unannounced into Trump’s house Aug. 8, 2022 looking for categorised paperwork.
Solely this time the FBI won’t be looking for categorised paperwork Biden shouldn’t be imagined to have.
Biden turned these over to the federal authorities following the Mar-a-Lago raid. Bear in mind? They have been saved in containers in his storage beside his classic 1967 Chevy Stingray.
No, this time the Trump’s FBI will probably be looking for Biden’s autopen.
That is the gadget that Biden used to “signal” 1000’s of commutations and pardons for convicted criminals, together with pardons for his total household, in the course of the dying days of his administration.
What if Biden had taken the autopen with him when he left the White Home to make use of for signings when his ebook on his presidency is printed? It could possibly be referred to as “107 Nightmares,” a “companion” ebook to Kamala’s Harris’ “107 Days.”
In any case, Trump stated Biden had no concept who signed what within the closing days of Biden’s administration. Biden or his autopen even signed pardons for individuals who didn’t ask for them.
“He was a horrible president,” Trump stated.
I’m joking, after all. Trump won’t additional embarrass Biden by raiding his home or driving off along with his Stingray.
He’ll simply proceed to mock him, as he did final week when he eradicated Biden from the checklist of portraits of former presidents within the White Home that he lined up within the West Wing. Trump referred to as it the “Presidential Stroll of Fame.”
The place Biden’s portrait ought to have been — between the 2 portraits of Trump — the president in a show of Trumpian humor, changed Biden’ portrait with an image of an autopen and a duplicate of Biden’s signature.
It was Trump’s concept of humor, however solely half the nation laughed. The opposite half cringed.
Clearly, although, Trump is getting even in opposition to those that sabotaged his first administration, ridiculed him, impeached him, indicted him after which tried to jail him to stop his return to the White Home.
If Trump’s enemies have something in frequent is that they regularly and foolishly demean and underestimate him.
Former FBI Director James Comey, 65, is considered one of them, which can assist clarify why he’s beneath indictment by Trump’s Justice Division for allegedly mendacity to Congress and for obstruction.
Comey, initially appointed by President Barack Obama, was fired by Trump in 2017 after expenses that he helped push and leak the phony anti-Trump Russian collusion story together with the faux Russian file that Democrats used to malign Trump.
However the 6′ 9” typically self-righteous Comey, who regarded down on everyone, each actually and figuratively, didn’t go quietly into the evening.
As a substitute, he attacked Trump, calling him a liar who was, amongst different issues, “unfettered to the reality.”
Comey relished the function of martyr that he carved out for himself and bragged how Trump was “targeted” on him. However, as he informed CNN, Trump was “by no means in a position to get me.”
Now Trump’s obtained him.
Comey subsequent week may have his mug shot taken and be arraigned in federal courtroom. He faces 5 years in jail if convicted.
Comey might prevail, however he’s being punished already. His life is turned the wrong way up. The authorized course of will probably be lengthy, and his attorneys will drain him dry.
His daughter Maurene Comey was fired from her job as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan and his son-in-law Troy Edwards, Jr. resigned from an analogous job on the U.S. Legal professional’ workplace in Virginia
A quote ascribed to former U.S. Legal professional Common Invoice Barr described Comey this manner: “He not solely thinks he’s the neatest man within the room, however the holiest as properly.”
It’s not simple being a martyr.
