"They were authorized to shoot me!"
Aided and amplified by media allies and sycophants Watters, Hannity and Bannon, Trump now falsely claims that the FBI was “ready to take me out” during the August 2022 Mar-A-Lago search. Never mind that Trump wasn’t even there. Never mind that the FBI was following standard protocol in executing the search. Never mind that a legal document related to the search included a policy statement, that is the norm in all FBI searches, on the use of deadly force, which says officers may resort to lethal force only when the subject of such force poses an “imminent danger of death or serious physical injury” to an officer or another person.
“FBI agents specifically sought to avoid a confrontation with Trump, choosing a day when Trump would not be at the property and giving the Secret Service a heads-up,” The Post previously reported.
“A former president falsely accusing his successor and rival of posing a threat to his life is without precedent in modern U.S. history. The comments marked a sharp escalation of Trump’s baseless attacks on Biden as the former president faces 88 criminal charges across four indictments in federal and state courts. Trump has frequently accused Biden of weaponizing the legal system against him in coordination with the Justice Department and local prosecutors. There is no evidence of such coordination.”
When you think he can’t go lower, he always proves you wrong.
