This is absolutely a big deal. Don’t buy the bullshit otherwise.
It was not a standard op. The MAL raid was an unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues and conflict. It also involved competing equities between federal agencies (FBI & USSS) with equal statutory claims to interrupt the other’s activities.
Anyone telling you otherwise is either dumb, or playing dumb. I’ve done more deconfliction with Russians in a foreign op I did for the USSS than the FBI did in their search warrant at MAL.
Only a dumbass would pitch the “it’s the standard paperwork” line. Go serve a search warrant at the White House in the cocaine case while filling out your “standard paperwork” and see how that works out for you. Wake up.
I was shocked at first to hear that President Trump pardoned Democrat Henry Cuellar. But now that I think about it, I think it was a smart move.
My reasoning: He is a well known Democrat Congressman and now he is on the media circuit (although not the MSM circuit) talking about how he was targeted and prosecuted by the Biden Administrations "Weaponized" Department Of Justice. His words not mine.
Did President Trump do it to get a Democrat on his side??
