Owing to or as a result of the March 12th, 2024, House Judiciary Committee's rather contentious Congressional Hearing on Capitol Hill that was supposed to be specific and germane to Special Counsel Robert Hur's findings and investigation into Joe Biden's decades-long unlawful possession and disclosure of Top Secret Classified Documents but that Democrats, not surprisingly, attempted to metamorphise into a vicious and indignant session of whataboutism and lies as it pertains to former President Trump's possession of his own Administrations Classified Documents, I thought it was imperative to jog the memories of a few Republicans and Democrats alike, about some rather crucial and incontrovertible key exculpatory evidence that was unearthed refuting the Left's spurious narrative surrounding Trump's Classified Documents case.
As it happens or rather, happened, and as some folks might remember, early last year, or more specifically, on Monday April 10th 2023, as evidenced by documents procured by America First Legal (AFL), from the National Archives (NARA), through a Freedom of Information Request (FOIA), it was revealed that Joe Biden and his Administration, in not only a spectacularly abusive overreach of federal power but also in malicious collaboration, cooperation, and coordination with his Attorney General Merrick Garland's Department of Justice (DOJ), and NARA, was, deeply involved, if not the impetus behind the orchestration of events that led to the FBI's egregious, unprecedented August 8th, 2022 raid on former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in violation of his 4th Amendment Rights, in what is now widely believed to be the unconstitutional weaponization of our Government in one of several Left-wing, politically motivated, malign and libelous schemes to persecute, prosecute, and prevent Joe Biden's political opponent, Donald J. Trump from ever seeking and/or holding higher office again.
Of course, this confirmation came as no great thunderbolt of lightning to the vast majority of Republicans, myself included, and, in point of fact, it pretty much aligned with what most Conservatives already strongly suspected to be the case from the get-go, despite Biden, his Administration, and the National Archives contrived lies and vehement denials to the contrary, feigning ignorance, claiming to have had absolutely no involvement in or foreknowledge of the FBI's unconstitutional blitz intrusion of and on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, sounding off, saying that the raid was "stunning," claiming to have been shocked by what had taken place. Of course, we all know and knew at the time that Biden, in addition to his Administration's performative theatrical pretenses on his behalf, were all propagated in a Machiavellian conscious effort to hoodwink and gaslight the public for fear Biden would not only be thought of but exposed as the unscrupulous wannabe dictator that he, in fact, not only inherently is, but also for exerting and applying, among other things, Cold War Stalinist tyrannical tactics and acts of political retribution against his 2024 Presidential opponent, Donald J. Trump.
Needless to say, not only did the disclosure of these internal documents from NARA corroborate and confirm Biden's involvement in the FBI's raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, but they also demonstrated that he, Joe Biden, in concert with Attorney General Merrick Garland and the DOJ, of course, abetted by NARA, were, in all conceivable probability and liability, manufacturing a crime where there was none, by devising a scurrilous pretext for the FBI to gain entrance into Mar-a-Lago, with the iniquitous intent to access, scour, and rummage through any and all of President Trump's personal, private, and/or Presidential belongings and records in a politically motivated fishing expedition vis-a-vis a "Special Access Request," which was, as we all learned through the AFL's FAOI request, solicited by Joe Biden's White House on behalf of the DOJ vis-a-vis Director John Laster, who was and is not only Joe Biden's official "Records Liaison" between the White House and the National Archives, but who is also SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for all "Special Access Requests" for Presidential Records, which is precisely how Merrick Garland, the DOJ, and the FBI ultimately received "backdoor" clearance to execute their unprecedented, unconstitutional full-on tactical armed assault and raid on and against a former United States President, Donald J. Trump, at the behest of a current incumbent United States President, Joseph R. Biden, in violation of our Constitutional laws, principles ,and values.
The special access statute authorizes "Special Access Requests" for Presidential Records from former Administrations, in this case, President Trump's Administration, to an incumbent President, in this case, Joe Biden, ONLY when the specified records in question are absolutely essential to the current President's official "conduct of current business" of their Administration/White House. So, you see, providing Biden, Merrick Garland, and his DOJ with any Presidential Records, documents, and/or items that belong or belonged to any former Administration for the purposes of a politically motivated DOJ criminal investigation orchestrated to persecute and prosecute an incumbent President's political opponent is not only NOT considered official "conduct of current business" of a current Administration/White House and incumbent President, but it is, in point of fact, criminal.
Furthermore, NARA's Acting National Archivist, Debra Wall --(who, for the record, or at least, in my opinion, is verifiably vindictive, cunning, and insane, not to mention, suffering from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, triggered by President Trump's LEGAL POSSESSION of his OWN Presidential Records created during HIS tenure)-- in a deliberate effort to stymie Trump's statutory RIGHT, under the Presidential Records Act, to negotiate what, if any or all, documents or items he could and/or wanted to retain from his Administration for his Presidential Library, alleged that she had contacted the DOJ, because, according to her, Trump was supposedly "not cooperating" with them, that he was somehow delaying the return of his Presidential Records, when in fact, she knew damn well, as is reflected in her May 10th letter to President's Trump's attorney, Evan Corcoran, that he had not only been cooperating and regularly turning over documents to the Archives through the lawfully sanctioned Presidential Records Act (PRA) "NEGOTIATION PROCESS," (which, by the way, according to Constitutional Scholar Mike Davis, affords all former Presidents a 5-year negotiating grace period), but that, in 2012, a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that "NARA does NOT have the authority to designate materials as "Presidential Records," and NARA lacks any right, duty, or means to seize control of them." from any former Administration and/or President, which includes President Trump.
In addition to the aforementioned information confirming NARA's untoward involvement in the DOJ/Biden politically motivated investigation against President Trump, Debra Wall also wrote in her May 10th letter to former President Trump's legal team that "NARA will provide the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President.", i.e., President Biden, further corroborating Biden's "PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT" in the DOJ's bogus investigation in early 2022, which was months BEFORE the August 8th raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
Despite NARA's continued flagrant denials of their involvement, you know, in the face of Debra Wall's documented May 10th letter to Trump's legal team, that, in fact, verifies and bears witness to NARA's involvement, Debra Wall also wrote in an October 25th, 2022, letter to both then-Congressional House Ranking Members Rep. James Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan, that "NARA received the 15 boxes from President Trump on January 18, 2022, and then discovered that they contained classified national security information. Shortly after the discovery, NARA consulted with the Office of the Inspector General "(OIG)," which "OPERATES INDEPENDENTLY" of NARA. As DOJ has disclosed publicly in court filings, NARA's "OIG" subsequently referred the matter to the DOJ on February 9, 2022."
However, the Swiss-cheese holes in NARA's rendering, or rather, spurious effort to cover their asses is as follows; If we are to believe what NARA is claiming is true, that the "OIG" acted "INDEPENDENTLY of NARA" in making a "REFERRAL" to the DOJ, then Biden's White House NARA liaison, Director John Laster, would not have been involved in the FBI's review of President Trump's Presidential Records... but he was, nor would or should a "Special Access Request" have been made... but it was, and Debra Wall would not have penned her May 10th letter to Trump's legal team stating that "'NARA will provide' the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President," i.e., Joe Biden... but she did. Likewise, the DOJ's affidavit that Attorney General Merrick Garland submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in order to obtain the infamous FBI search warrant that was used to raid Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022, would and should not have stated that "The investigation began as a result of a referral the United States Archives and Records Administration (NARA) sent to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) on February 9, 2022, hereinafter, "NARA Referral.", but it did state it, ergo, clearly demonstrating that they were involved, in fact, up to their eyeballs INVOLVED in it, despite their claims, or rather LIES to the contrary, and therein, and of their own slippery slope making, creating a convoluted network of lies and manipulations, that as a fundamental consequence, has now trapped and entangled them in an irreparable web of deception or as Sir Walter Scott's famously put it, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!"
You see, the newly unearthed documents, information, or, more appropriately put, "evidence" that America First Legal received through its FAOI request directly contradicts the DOJ's claims that it made in its affidavit that it used to obtain the FBI search warrant to raid President Trump's home, clearly affirming that Joe Biden and his Administration, in conjunction, collaboration, and coordination with the DOJ and the National Archives conspired through the White House NARA liaison, John Laster, and NARA Archivist, Debra Wall, and not through NARA's Office of the Inspector General "(OIG)," to obtain Trump's Presidential Records by devising a pretext for the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago vis-a-vis a "Special Access Request."
All of which not only verifies that NARA was, indeed, knee-deep in the contrived DOJ-Biden politically motivated investigation or, rather, plot, in the Left's endless pursuit to persecute and prosecute President Trump, Biden's political opponent, but it also proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Merrick Garland and the DOJ LIED on the affidavit they used to obtain the FBI search warrant and that the National Archives, i.e., Debra Wall also LIED to Congress in her October 25th letter regarding NARA's knowledge and involvement in the DOJ's bogus investigation and the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago, which if I'm not mistaken and I'm not, is a crime.
Yes, indeed, under 18 U.S. Code § 1001, "whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
1- falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
2- makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
3- makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years."
"Reed D. Rubinstein, the senior counselor and director of "Oversight and Investigations," released a statement ripping Biden, his Administration, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the DOJ for their role in the FBI's raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. Asserting that "the evidence further suggests that Biden officials in the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice unlawfully abused their power and then lied about it to the American people," he went on to say, "This government, it seems, acknowledges no limits on its power to harass, intimidate, and silence its political opponents.", i.e., President Trump.
To be sure, we are living in precarious and perilous times. We have a corrupt President, Joe Biden, and two political parties, whereby one party, namely, the Democrat Party, is effectively manipulating our system of Governance so that the ruling class is beyond the reach of our Criminal Justice System. We also have a media that was once considered our last line of defense against tyranny but that has now become hyper-politicized and an overtly partisan arm of the Democrat Party, covering for Joe Biden at every turn, treating him with kid gloves, refusing to scrutinize his personal and political crimes, his reckless conduct, and feckless leadership, while he continues to decimate our Sovereignty, security, and economy, along with weaponizing our Justice System to hobble his political opponent on or with specious and outright fictitious and malicious allegations that pale in comparison to his actual crimes.
If we are to save our Constitutional Republic, preserve its Principles and values, and protect our God-given unalienable Freedoms and Rights from the same tyranny that has seen many Nations fall to communism and absolute despotism, every American must find it within themselves to challenge the ruling class, to speak up and out against the pervasive rot and lawlessness of Cultural Marxism, of woke leftism, that has not only taken over the Democrat Party but that is currently infecting every branch of our Government, including our Judicial Branch (the one branch that is supposed to be free from all partisan politics), corrupting politicians, prosecutors, and Judges alike, poisoning and indoctrinating our youth, jeopardizing our Sovereignty and security, and demolishing our Judeo-Christian society with its hateful, devalue, dehumanize, and destroy ideology. If they are allowed to get away with persecuting Trump for having the courage to stand up for us and against them, God only knows what they can and will do to us!
