Was the FBI really ready to shoot Donald
Trump as part of the Mar-a-Lago raid?

We know that the FBI and DOJ made a point of conducting the Mar-a-Lago raid when they knew Trump would not be there. However, newly released documents associated with the raid empowered the FBI and DOJ agents present on the scene to shoot Donald Trump and his Secret Service detail if necessary. We don’t know if this was standard operating procedure or not, but it’s certainly concerning on its face.

I don't ever want to hear from Sean Hannity about the hundreds of patriotic FBI agents doing their duty. I want the FBI totally destroyed and disbanded forever. They are totally corrupt. If the hundreds of patriotic agents really existed they would resist, resign or inform on Wray and his Biden Gestapo.

And they constantly say it's the conservatives who want to destroy America. Just the thought that someone said this was okay to do is frightening. Everything the dems are pushing down our throats is pulling America further down the toilet bowl drain. Everything they touch turns to garbage and they question our intelligence and wonder why can't we just appreciate what FJB and his Clown Car Administration is doing for us. And they want to foist on us again a man who no longer has his brain neurons connecting with each other. Lord, help us.

This doesn't surprise me with the current evil thugs running the FBI. We need to ERASE the FBI. No attempt to reform can succeed. Eliminate, and push all that law enforcement back to the State Police agencies. END Federal law enforcement. They are corrupt, rotten and too easily subverted into the Gestapo or KGB.

The only problem is, when you move the FBI agents back to the state police agencies or anywhere else in law enforcement, they will probably contaminate the ones they will be working with. They are already soiled LE.

How could this be standard operating procedure when a former President had never had his home invaded by the FBI. The secret service says they would take a bullet for the person they are protecting, how can they feel about taking a bullet because they are protecting a former President who is being raided by an FBI that was there at the orders of another President their fellow workers is protecting?

Wouldn't surprise me at all. An, 'unfortunate accident'. There may be many FBI agents who are true blue Americans, but you couldn't prove it by me. If they are real Americans, resign. Find other work. Same with CIA. If you're in there we must assume you want to be.

Local agents wanted nothing to do with the raid...they had to FLY teams in from DC and NYC...they were not just cleared to shoot Trump, no one expects him to be armed or get into a physical confrontation...they were pre-cleared to go to WAR against secret service agents Under Biden orders. DOJ was ready to assault and Kill US Treasury personnel...to enforce the partisan will of an overly self important archival Librarian. That had already announced they were leaving the office anyway. Lame duck, quacking up.

Who would ever have thought, before the Biden era, that Federal Government plans, created by non-elected bureaucrats, could conceivably lead to a Mexican standoff situation between the FBI operating under Biden Administration orders, and the Secret Service who were protecting former President Trump?
