Ann Coulter:
Merrick Garland Is a Lunatic (townhall.com) "Let's hope Merrick Garland's search of Mar-a-Lago is based on more evidence than his indictment of
the Louisville, Kentucky, police officers involved in the raid on Breonna Taylor's house. "That passive construction I just used -- "involved in the raid on,"
"instead of "who raided" -- is not
sloppy writing: It's the facts. The officers who actually shot Taylor have not been charged, apparently
on the flimsy grounds that they were being shot at when they fired.
Instead, our lunatic attorney general has indicted officers who prepared the affidavit used to obtain
the warrant to search Taylor's home. In the words of the indictment, the affidavit "contained
information that was false, misleading and out-of-date ... and the officers lacked probable cause for
the search."
"Further, the indictment also alleges that the officers knew they were providing false information.
"Breonna Taylor, you will recall, was the moll for drug dealer Jamarcus Glover, one of Louisville's
biggest suppliers of cocaine and fentanyl, and therefore by definition a murderer. On March 13,
2020, the police executed simultaneous search warrants on two of his "trap houses" as well as the
home of his bagwoman, Breonna.
"At Taylor's house, police announced themselves and got no response. They announced themselves
again; no response. They announced themselves again; no response. Finally, they used a battering
ram to enter. Almost immediately, an officer was shot.
"The man with Taylor, Kenneth Walker, claims he shot at the officers because he thought the guys
pounding on the front door and yelling "POLICE!" were home invaders. Skeptics will say that's
implausible, but it is now treated as hard fact in such solid, reliable news sources as The New York
Times.
"The officers returned fire and hit Taylor, who had the misfortune to be standing next to her
boyfriend as he was shooting at the police. Riots ensued. Taylor's family got $12 million. "Kentucky's criminal prosecution of the one officer charged ended in an acquittal. With last week's
suit, the federal government is now bringing its own criminal charges against the police -- in a sane
world, this would be double jeopardy -- alleging that the affidavit for a search warrant was based on
information that was knowingly "false, misleading and out-of-date." "Specifically, the feds say the following claims were false:
"1. Glover and Taylor had an "ongoing connection". . .
