Biden was not briefed about the raid on Mar-A-Lago before or after, according to the White House. The raid was probably approved by a Trump-appointed Republican FBI director, and the FBI could have only obtained a search warrant from a judge if they had probable cause that the site of the raid (Mar-A-Lago) had evidence of a crime. It's possible Garland knew about the raid, but I fail to see why that would matter since Garland was highly regarded among
both Republicans and Democrats as a moderate with extensive federal judicial experience and was chosen by Biden as attorney general specifically because he was seen as nonpartisan. The implication that this raid is apart of some complicated scheme by Biden to take down Donald Trump is ridiculous. Is it really that hard to believe that Trump, with the little political experience he had and clear disregard for norms, possibly committed a crime?
And anyone who actually believes that Biden didn't know beforehand, I've a bridge to nowhere that I could sell them! "The Biden didn't know" narrative was obviously designed by Biden and his White House aides, to inoculate him from the type of political attack that Trump is trying to launch. I think personally that the whole affair was hairbrained and literally uncalled for! Because if it is established that Biden did know while trying to have deniability! It will mean Trump becomes untouchable! As anything the Justice system has planned targeting Trump, goes down the toilet! Since everything that DOJ does regarding Trump will be viewed as politically tainted. So whether Garland believes that he's not above the law or not won't matter one iota. And Trump as you know will be in the same exact position that Biden didn't hope he would be, impregnable. This could be for Biden what that "Ukraine phone call" was for Trump and could cause endless problems for him down the road! It should be noted that Obama once said of Joe Biden, "Don't underestimate Joe's capacity to things up" or words to that effect. Personally the DOJ went OTT with the warrant and the whole episode has the potential to be the biggest blunder ever enacted or a big nothingburger. I have a feeling that Trump played those two prosecutors who visited Mar-A-Lago. Consider this, why did Trump's lawyer's, individuals who are employed by Trump btw, direct these prosecutors to a room containing boxes with files marked "classified". What happens when they find there's nothing classified and they were taken on a wild goose chase. The DOJ has two options then, remain mum and refuse to facilitate Trump con job on them or put their hands up, in a "Oops fashion. The latter we know they won't do. Either way they are screwed and Trump has his issue. Anyone who hasn't considered this, forgets Trump is a habitual grifter and con artist and it is likely he baited Garland and we are where we are.
