"President" Biden Coordinated with the FBI Raid on Donald Trump, His Likely Opponent

Mitch McConnell will do nothing. He's in on it.

The "special access request" can only be made about FBI investigations when the information directly concerns White House business.

The White House demanded information about the classified documents frame-up and the raid itself -- thereby admitting with that very request that the raid was "White House business."

Then they lied about having no knowledge of the raid. Of course.

New information is being uncovered regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation's unprecedented raid of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home last year. According to America First Legal (AFL), a judicial watchdog, an investigation of the raid confirmed that the FBI gained access to NARA records through a "special access request" made by the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice.

"On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there. According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were "stunned" to hear of this development," AFL begins in a press release. "However, new NARA records obtained through America First Legal's investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirmed that the FBI obtained access to these records through a 'special access request' from the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice (DOJ)."

According to AFL, it appears that "the Biden White House and DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of the 'special access request.'"

In addition to confirming that the White House was involved in setting up Trump, AFL also proves that the National Archives misled Congress about the role the White House played in the raid.

"This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House's role in the shocking raid of President Trump's home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting "on behalf of" the DOJ raises significant legal concerns," explains AFL. "The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president only when the records in question are needed for 'the conduct of current business' of the White House. Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the 'current business' of the White House."

Benny Johnson also reminds us that the FBI scheduled the raid for the last possible day it could schedule the raid, for maximum impact on the 2022 elections.

The FBI has a policy that it will not take big prosecution actions against political figures within 90 days of an election.

So Merrick Garland scheduled the raid for ninety-one days before the 2022 elections.

/1 THREAD -- records obtained from our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirm that the FBI obtained access to these records through a "special access request" from the Biden White House on behalf of the DOJ.

Link.

/2 On August 8, 2022, the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there.

According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were surprised to hear of this development.

/3 However, the new records we obtained from our investigation into the circumstances of the Mar-a-Lago raid reveal the Biden White House & DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of a "special access request."

/4 What this means is that there are substantial discrepancies between what the Archives has told Congress and what appears in its internal communications...

/5 For example, Acting Archivist Debra Wall told @RepMikeTurner
on August 16, 2022, that NARA "had not been involved in the DOJ investigation or any searches that it has conducted."

/6 This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House's role in the shocking raid of President Trump's home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting "on behalf of" the DOJ raises significant legal concerns.

/7 The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president ONLY when the records in question are needed for "the conduct of current business" of the White House...

/8 ...Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the "current business" of the White House.

/9 Accordingly, America First Legal is
demanding NARA turn over records related to the Biden White House's involvement in the politically motivated raid of President Trump's home.
