Can you guess who’s to blame for the press conference Attorney General Merrick Garland held earlier today? President Joe Biden? Nope. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi? Also incorrect.
According to failed, one-term former president Donald Trump, the guilty party in his Mar-a-Lago golf club being served with a search warrant is none other than Barack Obama.
Sounds goofy, doesn’t it? But that’s how what’s left of Trump’s mind works.
On his social media site Truth Social (also known to as Twitter for losers), the twice-impeached ex-president didn’t proclaim his innocence or even try to counter what Garland had said. Instead, he went nuclear and put it all on Obama:
“I continue to ask, what happened to the 33 Million pages of documents taken to Chicago by President Obama? The Fake News Media refuses to talk about that. They want it CANCELED!”
Trump finger-pointing is easily countered with facts, as the Washington Post explains:
As was reported back in late 2016, the Obama team was transferring the records to Chicago through the National Archives, which legally owns the documents once a president leaves office. Once the documents ultimately reached a warehouse in Chicago, the Obama Foundation was then due to pay the National Archives and Record Administration to digitize the documents. The lengthiness of that process aside, there isn’t the faintest hint of legal violations — nor does the Post’s story suggest as much.
Later, Trump posted something else regarding the situation he now finds himself in:
“My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established. The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it. They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area – DONE! Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even ‘safecrackers.’ They got way ahead of themselves. Crazy!” the statement read.”
If they had been cooperating fully, there would have been no basis for a judge to sign off on the search warrant. But he did, meaning there was probably cause and once again Trump is lying.
In true racist fashion, Donald Trump is still trying to blame the black guy he accused of not being born in the United States, proving that bigots never change their tune. Instead, they just rearrange some of the lyrics to fith the situation.
