The blogosphere is full of reports and commentary on the FBI’s
raid on President Trump’s residence Mar-A-Lago, but Robert Spencer’s column atFrontPageMag is the one I am linking to today.
Mr. Spencer begins:
When the FBI raided Donald Trump’s
home on Monday, a key aspect of what made the United States of America great
and free has been lost, and likely cannot be recovered. John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson detested one another for years before their eventual reconciliation,
but neither one used the agencies of the U.S. government to hound, persecute or
discredit the other. Other bitter political opponents throughout the history of
the republic have never before used the government’s own mechanisms of justice
to do injustice to their foes. Joe Biden, Merrick Garland and their henchmen
have brought America to a new phase of its history, and it is not likely to be
one that is marked by respect for the rule of law or defense of the rights of
individual citizens. Instead, we are entering an ugly age of authoritarianism,
in which the brute force of the state is used to bend the people to the will of
the tyrant.
Trump announced on
Monday, “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago
in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a
large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President
of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant
Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or
appropriate.”
The 45th president is not
given to understatement, but the FBI raid on his home is much more than just
unnecessary and inappropriate. It is criminal.
. . .
This is no longer a republic,
except of the banana variety. It may be a republic again someday, but for now,
the great American experiment is over. Born July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia, died
August 8, 2022, in Mar-A-Lago, at the hands of Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and
Christopher Wray.
Read the rest here. President Trump’s announcement is on most websites, including here.
