We all know that the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence back in August 2022 for the seizure of “classified documents” was a political hit job by Joe Biden’s handlers and Merrick Garland. That started this whole lawfare mess that we’re seeing now.

The politicization of it only became more obvious to everyone who hasn’t kept up with it earlier this month, when it was revealed that a photo circulating online of “Secret” and “Top Secret” documents found at Mar-a-Lago was allegedly staged, as independent journalist Julie Kelly reported and our own Matt Margolis commented on.

But now Kelly has revealed how much dirtier the whole thing may have been: The FBI was apparently authorized to use deadly force for the raid.

It’s unclear at this point whether this is standard operating procedure for FBI raids. PJ Media asked the FBI if this was a blanket policy or if there was specific authorization to use deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago raid, but it did not comment by the time of publication.

Kelly’s first tweet shows a recently unsealed document that contains details about the Operations Order containing this abbreviated policy statement in the document she posted, which appears to quote directly from the FBI website: “Law enforcement officers and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.”

Tons of new unsealed filings on classified docs case–I will try to post as much as I can (there goes the workout) but this is mind-blowing.
