Good morning.

The White House is already backpedaling furiously (and comically) re: the Mar-a-Lago raid.  Good.

Yes and no. It's good in the sense that they realize something happened that probably shouldn't have. But it's bad in the sense that (a) the White House, regardless of who is really in charge, doesn't have a clue, (b) the people who want to crush Trump are the ones who are really holding power (and there are indications it's the intelligence community that holds the real power), and (c) all this scrambling to admit Biden knew nothing encourages our enemies yet again.

we already knew about point  B. And I don’t see the logic on point C.  Far better for the White House to leave Garland twisting in the wind.

Any stumble or falter in the leadership of this country means our enemies see a weakness and a potential opening. Seeing the party in control attacking the former president and potential future candidate not only is banana republic nonsense, but it demonstrates the weakness in the US leadership, something that foreign enemies can and will exploit. Iran hasn't stopped calling for death to America; you don't think they would want to take advantage of this?

She might be telling the truth.

Biden is not aware of much of anything these days.

But the puppeteers definitely had to know.

One simple question for the left about the raid.

What was accomplished that a subpoena would not have?
