Is This the Backstabber Behind the Mar-a-Lago Raid? – PJ Media "We are at a point in history where the Deep State can blatantly raid the home of the next likely Republican presidential nominee and possibly get away with it. How in the hell did we get here?"For one, ‘nad-free GOPers don’t raise hell when all hell needs to be raised. We know that Hunter Biden’s laptop was chock full of information evidence that the Biden crime family has been on the take for years. Where were the angry Republicans and their pitchforks? At best, we saw a few of them “demanding answers” when the news cameras were rolling, but otherwise, it’s cricket-city from the people we voted into office.
"If then-president Trump had ordered the FBI to raid the home of Joe Biden over Hunter’s laptop (which would have totally made sense), the Democrats would have exploded. I have my suspicions that our side is afraid to throw down the way the Democrats are happy to do.

“I have therefore decided not to honor the former President’s ‘protective’ claim of privilege,” Wall wrote, after making clear that her letter bore Biden’s imprimatur: “The Counsel to the President has informed me that, in light of the particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination, in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold the former President’s purported ‘protective assertion of executive privilege.’”
