Attorney General Merrick Garland is scheduled to make a statement to the media, and perhaps answer questions, about the FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida last Monday. The anticipated time for the press statement is 2:30pm ET. Livestream Links below.
UPDATE: VIDEO ADDED
Appearing nervous, Merrick Garland read carefully, very carefully, from a prepared script on the teleprompter. He offered no extraneous remarks and took no questions. He spoke for approximately 4 minutes:
PBS Livestream Link – LiveFox Livestream Link – USA Today Livestream Link
.
The DOJ has yet to release any documents related to the executed search warrant, nor the list of items taken from the Mar-a-Lago compound.
[Media] Months before federal investigators executed a search warrant this week on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, the 45th president was served a subpoena aiming to recover documents authorities believed he had failed to turn over earlier in the year, according to The New York Times.
CTH has a strong idea of the content of some documents. We will be updating that information today.

merrick doesn’t seem in a hurry to face the press, such as it is.
Funny that.
Why the delay? Is he waiting for the phone call “the suspect is in custody”
Don’t all FIB agents have a MAGA hat and noose in the trunk of the car.
Yeah, it’s called a “throwdown”.
And sunglasses and jean shorts and buzz clippers in case they need to fresh “high and tight”….FIB is Antifa as Sundance says
Mulvaney on Newmax specualting Ron Klain on phone with Garland ripping him a new one, lol. For not giving heads up about presser, I think…wasn’t really listening
Had to wait on the false flag out of Cincinnati.
Now he’s ready to go.
“Attack” on FBI building with a nail gun.
Soooooo predictable.
Yup, expect more of the same. False flags/staged deceptions to make FBI look like the good guys, victims of MAGA people.
That’s really what the FBI does–stages events to advance establishment narratives.
I can’t stand looking at that eunuch
Had to change his pants.
Rewriting, up to the last minute.
They know the conservative base is upset. This is for their lefty base….see….not our fault.
Trump has endured 6-7 years of government harassment.
And media torment.
Because he wanted to respect our wishes to close the border, maintain America as a sovereign nation, and make it self sufficient again.
Such a terrible guy!
Newsmax covering this and talking to Mulvaney. Some sort of kerfuffle about White House not knowing Garland was gonna do this?
White House gets its info from Twitter.
It hasnt seen todays feed yet.
The WH? Or Obama team? Joes in Kiawah…he isn’t aware of it of course. Talk about a cluster.
Joe is really only aware of nearby kids to sniff and his daily serving of ice cream.
He hates missing out on either.
This is a deliberate kerfluffle to give the illusion that Biden and handlers don’t give Garland his marching orders.
That makes sense! Garland “took responsibility” so not making Wray the fall guy yet not addressing the WH knowing or not knowing about it.
Why should Klain be upset? After all, the French Woman assured us at a White House briefing that there was no foreknowledge of the impending FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Same-same, isn’t it?
Per Mulvaney, it is SOP to inform the WH before you go out in public like that so there are no surprises
Yep. The DOJ is going to overreact today.
Building will be locked down with an office by office search until the domestic terrorist responsible is found and persecuted!
And banned in all media. Like FJB or LGB.
BEAUTIFUL!
The Irony.
That sign could be from BLM, Antifa or MAGA.
When political interests align, big things happen.
I suspect translating parceltounges statement, unemotionally, we will be seeing “spin” as he tries to simultaneously JUSTIFY the raid, while simultaneously back pedaling FROM it.
And additional indications they probably fell for a PDJT “trap”.
Signs like this and the Bernie Bro pretending to be a Trump supporter in Cincinnati trying to get in the fbi building are minor compared to what’s really needed.
I hope that is right in front of the FBI office in Brentwood!
That’s the West LA Brentwood. There’s also a rural Norcal Brentwood in Contra Costa County 53 miles east of downtown San Francisco. Just to clarify.
Yeah, it’s not my Brentwood, but there are plenty of people here who hate Dems even though the county is blue.
Is that Brentwood section of LA or Bay Area Brentwood ?
LA. Bay Area Brentwood is rural and doesn’t have buildings like that.
Thanks, guess I didn’t realize Brentwood extended south to Wilshire, think of it more like a little south of Sunset and north to Mulholland.
Brentwood (Contra Costa) has been growing rapidly in recent decades…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brentwood,_California#Demographics
…but wasn’t sure if it yet had developed to the point of Walnut Creek where one might find such a building.
The West Los Angeles Federal Building is near the Los Angeles neighborhood known as Brentwood. But it’s not in the neighborhood known as Brentwood. It’s generally called the West Los Angeles federal building. There’s another federal building in downtown Los Angeles.
And I doubt there are any White American men working in either of those federal buildings. Total affirmative action federal workforce.
Works for me.
45 might use this when he announces.
Yes, great campaign ad.
I believe Sabo was planning a trip recently to LA. Have been watching his daily YT’s
This very well could be his hit but I can’t confirm. but he has not had a video since the 8th and is currently on a FB ban
https://www.youtube.com/user/unsavoryagents
Excellent
That’s Hollywood, Baby.
Confirmed! SABO @Unsavoryagents hit!
Sabo just confirmed on fakebook that YES THIS WAS HIM!
I love how the sunlight shines on the F the FBI. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
what inflation?
deny.
Does anyone NOT get upset seeing our flag trimmed and tasseled?
that is an Admiralty flag…it is technically NOT the flag of the USA
Yes, I’ve heard about that, some say we are under Admiralty Law
It is like Jesus with Pontius Pilot and the Sanhedrin.
Was listening to Andrew Willow on XM Patriot. While waiting for the Garland Press Conf., Wilkow mentioned getting the best info on the JEB election attempt from The Conservative Treehouse!
Oops, Wilkow…sorry Andrew! 😉
Better go full screen otherwise the Greta pointing the .45 ACP at the corner of your eye becomes disconcerting. Hat tip FangDog.
Yes! Been zooming in for many weeks now to avoid seeing that awful ad.
Why is that there? I thought she was targeting just me! Whew.
The FBI has become an extremely dangerous global laughingstock.
Think of those WWII cartoons lampooning the Nazis.
What’s old is new again.
In WW2 the FBI was fighting the Nazis. …today the FBI ARE the Nazis.
He will drop every innuendo he can yet state nothing concrete.
He is aiding the JAN 6 committee and his job is the keep his hungry base happy.
If you saw a clip of Colbert the other night, you’d know what I mean. They’re all Rob Reiners.
I’ve read that their base wanted Garland fired “because he won’t do anthying. Trump should be in jail.”
Their Hollywood money has been interrupted and they want it to flow again.
All Rob Reiners, I wish I’d thought of that!
Why would “their base” need any more ‘firing up’?
They HAVE RvW overturn.
If the impression they have created, that ‘their base’ all see RvW is a fundamental tenant and sacrement, their base shouldn’t need anything more to motivate.
Are they thinking any R voters are going to be ‘turned off’ of voting for “Trump” (who is not technically on the ballot) because of baseless allegations that he stole a bunch of classified documents, and is keeping them unsecured at MAL?
I fall back on my theory on polling. DC Ideologues DO look at poll results, to “shape or tweak” their messaging, and some part of their consistent tone deafness is because they pretend not to know that MAGA people don’t do polls.
Hence, they actually believe, because they WANT to believe, that there are a significant $ of Republican voters that despise “Trump”, and are longing for a savior of the Republican party, than can finally rid the party of the odious rif-raff.
This is the voters Liz has been trying to get, and they still really don’t realise what a small group that has become, BECAUSE polling tells them it exists and, due to poll distortions, appears much larger than it is.
“those who live by the polls, die by the polls!”
Christopher Wray is on the line telling Merrick he will not take the fall. Bret Baier is now saying the White House didn’t know Garland was going to make comments. Obama ok’d it. Just admit it.
Too many cooks working on this stew.
And when you have too many cooks meddling in one stew, without knowing what the other cooks are adding- the stew ends up being shit.
Did I just hear on hot mic; “I’m not gonna do this – you do it!” followed by another replying “Nah-ah…You started this – You do it!” 🙂
Let’s hope they all hang together…
On PPV.
Television worth watching!
You mean, too many crooks…
Not watching the stream… is Big Top Pipe Organ music playing?
Very significant that they are only doing this because a Judge ordered them to do so . . . Come to think of it, maybe they picked the wrong judge.
Or, after one day of Twitter, Truth, Gettr, Locals, and other social media making fun of his vanilla oreos and cheap liquor, he decided- nope, nah, not going to be me…
lol I wouldn’t doubt that was all it took.
Ugh! That photo of Da Judge was the epitome of white trash.
The judge will be dealt with
That’s not how it works. They SEEK approval from a judge to do things and they provide information which justifies what they seek to do. This is the same FBI that had factually provided bad information to FISA judges to start and to continue their surveillance of Trump.
Judge is trying to cover his *ss. Headlines connecting him with Epstien was all it took.
His connection was the blackmail material they used to pressure him to sign the papers,…exposure negates that effect, and now he wants the spotlight OFF of him.
Ordering them to release the paperwork takes the spotlight off of him, he hopes.
Or, this is a manuever, where they release only PART of the documents; the rumors and innuendo “accusations” while insisting the actual evidence to justify the warrant remains “under seal” due to “ongoing investigation”, “sources and methods” and “sensitivity of the matter”.
We have seen this play before, and due to media complicity, no one will ask them why this raid was conducted in the manner it was, just like the Stone raid, etc.
It is interesting that unlike the other made for tv ‘raids’ they did NOT, seemingly orchestrate media coverage.
If the primary purpose was PR, where was CNN?
What are the chances he will address the theft of a Republican congressman’s phone? And subpoenas to others?
Does he acknowledge Americans have a right to assemble, peacefully, as long as there aren’t government paid agitators and inciters present, to protest, under the First Amendment?
To answer, Zero and no.
Garland is at risk with the Nov elections with the House and Senate at stake. He COULD be impeached….but I doubt Mitch would ever do it even IF the GOP wins the Senate.
That’s one reason for all this: an effort to get the base out to save Senate seats.
McConnell absolutely would…not.
“It isn’t who we are.”
Mitch is #2 in the Uni-Party. No impeachment.
Turtle has exactly ZERO to do with impeachment…..IMPEACHMENT is done in the HOUSE and is equivalent to a prosecutor bringing charges…..the TRIAL is in the US Senate which is where the Turtle would be involved
Garland is running late because the Bureaucrats can’t agree to which ‘Story’ to tell that they think the Sheep will believe…
Nothing they say is believable.
He’s late.
What do you bet he leads with
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/breaking-ohio-state-highway-patrol-exchanges-gunfire-armed-man-attempting-break-fbi-building/
to pivot back the conversation back to “dangerous MAGA”
Garland could tell the absolute truth —— and it will be meaningless. He has shredded his integrity, and the integrity of the FBI and DOJ. His only viable statement is “I resign”.
Who’s being played?
Just the News reports that President Trump personally surprised the DOJ National Security Division prosecutor and three FBI agents who came to his Mar-a-Lago compound on June 3, greeting them as they came to pick up a small number of documents compliant with the subpoena. Nothing could be reported as the “visit” was covered by grand jury secrecy.
Trump signaled his full cooperation, telling the agents and prosecutor, “Look, whatever you need let us know,” according to two eyewitnesses. The federal team was surprised by the president’s invitation….

NOT IMHO, off topic.
TGP has an article on a series of rallys in Az, New Mexico, Ohio and Pennsylvania, sponsored by Turning Point Action in August, and featuring KL, Blake Masters and Ron Desantis.
How each will comment on the raid is now, IMHO what these rallys will be about, and will be EXTREMELY interesting to see play out.
if they want my support, I need to hear way more explicit comments about the tenuous nature of the consent of the governed. Stop tiptoeing around what we all know.
really appreciate KL’s statements on the matter so far.
Yes, Kari Lake is fast becoming my number one choice for Trump’s VP. Her not DeSantis. DeSantis lost some cool kid points with me when he failed to address this head-on as Kari did.
quit with the flavor of the month…what do you really KNOW about Kari Lake…she may be a good candidate but I am sure you do NOT know one way or another if she is at this point

Maybe someone from The Trump Organization called Garlands Office and said “watch what you say, we have video and audio”.
I don’t care what he has to say. Maggit Garland is a liar. Garland needs to resign. Ray needs to resign as well. A SC needs to be assigned and there must be an investigation. Sidney Powell would be my choice. Seize their phones and hardware and raid their homes.

Before Attorney General Merrick Garland’s spin:
The President of the United States has both the constitutional (and statutory) power to declassify anything he wants.
If President Trump left the White House with classified records, they are declassified by his actions.
Period.
2). All former Presidents get a federally funded office.
Office of the Former President
With staff.
And security clearances.
And Secret Service protection.
And secure facilities (SCIFs) for classified records.
Even if Trump had classified records, they were protected.
Period
3). All Presidents take records when they leave.
They don’t pack their own boxes.
National Archives takes the position that almost everything is a “presidential record.”
The federal government over-classifies almost everything.

Garland will address the shooting at the Cincinnati office as his first priority. He will obviously blame it on a Trump supporter, then declare open season on all those terrorists who voted for Pres. Trump in 2020. And of course the “shooter” used an AR15 style rifle (and a nail gun). Need I say more? Tomorrow Congress proposes and passes a bill banning… nail guns.
Great point. Banning nail guns would help the WEF agenda.
That would make some of Hillary’s best men very sad.
Despite how horrible things look, how lucky are we that Garland never got on to SCOTUS.
Not if he gets us all imprisoned or rubbed out!
The judicial branch is all about words. The executive branch is all about life and limb. Maniac Garland is now, unfortunately, in the executive branch and that endangers everyone!
NOT wasting my time listening to this lying POS SOB.

Wait until President Trump in 2024 has there residences raided, see how they like it. I would do it like 2 AM and have him and his wife stand outside in their PJ’s for like 10 hours.
There will be no question and answer. This is a press statement event not a press conference.
Garland said the layer was “on site” during the search. They threw him out of the house, and he had to stand outside on a driveway. Do they call that “on site”?
Also: He said he won’t stand by while the FBI is “unfairly attacked”. What if it’s fairly criticized?
Neither will the people when they’re unfairly attacked.
“She”
Thank you. And I meant to say lawyer, not layer, lol. (I was typing too fast.)
YW.
I caught that.
He spun that SOOOoooooo hard with that deceptive statement.
The “site” was INSIDE where the raid was being conducted. Not OUTSIDE in the heat, with armed people preventing entrance…..and with the demand that the security cameras be turned off.
Yes. Standing at the end of the driveway is technically “on site.” Where “on site” = any part of the Mara-A-Lago property.
The Liars always make sure that what they say is (in any part) technically correct even if 90% of their viewers think it means something that’s entirely untrue.
Blah, blah, blah.
Liar!
Didn’t apply even application of the law to 1/6 people, nor any 45 supporter, nor the Hoax crokks, starting with Hag.
LIAR!!!!!
no but you will stand by when Supreme Court justices are maligned and threatned
Only when is is conservative supreme court justices.
what a bullshit presser!
A whole bunch of nothing. No questions. Jerk.
What complete Bull Shitttttttttttttt!!!!
Here we go, FBI is the victim
I’ve heard enough. He just stands up there and lies and lies and lies. Justice is NOT currently being fairly applied.
What a jackwagon!
What a nothing burger….not that I expected any relevant info. Total pack of liars.
Keep digging that hole, Merrick.
The FIB was looking for child porn.
They don’t have enough already.
He’s tampering with a jury. That’s all this was for.
“The law even handedly”, right Hunter Biden, Clinton, strok, page, comey etc. Defunf the DOJ/FBI!!!!
You Just witnessed how it will be they they are called by republicans for hearings on the Matter…..
So he isn’t going to stand by when others criticize FIB?
That means raids, jailing, NSA_spy tactics to obtain data, confiscation of cell phone as you walk around.
AG is not going to stand by. Believe them when they tell you who they are.
Takes no questions…
What a surprise!
A bolt of lightening should have struck him for using “ethical” and “integrity” to describe the FBI.
Merrick “Mitto” Garland.
