The New York Times described the White House&#8217;s discovery of the raid, reporting &#8220;Aides to President Biden said they were stunned by the development and learned of it from Twitter.&#8221; Stunned. How convenient.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Senior White House officials found out about the FBI\u2019s Mar a Lago raid on Twitter, had no notice, per source familiar<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jmartNYT\/status\/1556783614582571008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 8, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Suffice it to say, that claim or explanation isn&#8217;t going to fly with a lot of Americans. The principal law enforcement agency of the federal government, the definition of executive power, decided to raid the home of the former president, and the White House didn&#8217;t know anything about it until people started tweeting?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That sounds like either the White House is lying or the FBI was shielding the White House from prior knowledge of the raid\/scavenger hunt in Palm Beach \u2014 neither of which is a terribly good image for the FBI and Biden administration to be putting forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, if the White House really didn&#8217;t know anything about the plans to raid Mar-A-Lago, who is overseeing the FBI and providing accountability for any of its other actions?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whether the Democrats and mainstream media cheering this on are excited by the idea that 1) the FBI is going rogue wherever it wants and returning to some of its J. Edgar Hoover roots or 2) thrilled that a Democrat administration is using federal law enforcement to target political adversaries is anyone&#8217;s guess.
