										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite our repeatedly being reminded they are our nation&#8217;s premiere law enforcement agency, reality is another thing, especially after the historic raid on Donald Trump&#8217;s home in Florida.</p>
<p>It appears FBI Director Christopher Wray responded with the launch of a sympathy tour in Omaha, Nebraska where he lamented the &#8220;threats&#8221; being sent to the agency after the raid on President Trump&#8217;s home.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/FBI-Wray.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24020 size-medium" title="FBI Director Christopher Wray speaks during a news conference Wednesday in Omaha, Neb.

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">&#8220;I&#8217;m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,&#8221; Wray said. &#8220;Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you&#8217;re upset with.&#8221;</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/1116948902/fbi-director-wray-denounces-threats-following-the-agency-s-search-of-trump-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">North Country Public Radio, 8/11/22</a></p>
<p>Given their recent history, let&#8217;s not rule out the distinct possibility that this could be a false flag operation being used as a mechanism to engender sympathy for an agency more and more Americans justifiably mistrust.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Trump-supporters-raid.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24021 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Trump-supporters-raid-150x98.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="98" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Trump-supporters-raid-150x98.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Trump-supporters-raid-768x504.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Trump-supporters-raid.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>We&#8217;re sure to hear the lamentations from the parrots on CNN and MSNBC about how dangerous Trump supporters are going to be given how the raid was conducted and the lack of forthcoming information the American people deserve to hear.</p>
<p>Then again, Trump supporters did protest near Mar-a-Lago. They took to the sidewalks and didn&#8217;t block traffic.</p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">D</span>on&#8217;t get me started on FBI lawyers who alter documents or agents who create entrapments. During the last few years, we&#8217;ve seen it all.</p>
<p>FBI agents have been directed to go out of their way to humiliate those they&#8217;ve been tasked to apprehend. Livelihoods have been destroyed, and once wrongdoing is uncovered, apologies and/or restitution never comes. So Director Wray is not going to get much love for his agency until it&#8217;s defunded, broken up and started all over again, if at all.</p>

Who has the most to lose if Donald Trump runs again in 2024 and wins?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the federal workforce is composed of an estimated 2.1 million civilian workers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R43590.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congressional Research Service, 6/28/22</a></p>
<p>And seeing how over 90% of these federal employees donate to Democrats, you know it must really piss them off every time Trump says &#8220;Drain the Swamp&#8221; and the crowd erupts in cheers of support.</p>
<p>Conveniently forgotten is the fact that federal employees serve at the pleasure of the president. There is no conscience clause exceptions aside from, if you don&#8217;t like what the president is doing, quit. Trump now knows he should have implemented Schedule F as one of his first acts in the White House instead of one of his last. But the swamp knows a newly-elected Donald Trump will clean house and be ready to rock and roll within the first three months. Some in the media are now citing a recent, weak piece from Axios on the topic, calling Schedule F &#8220;radical&#8221; while leaving out it&#8217;s historical context going back a couple hundred years.</p>
<h1 class="entry-title cb-entry-title cb-single-title"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-signs-EO.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22393 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-signs-EO-150x79.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="79" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-signs-EO-150x79.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-signs-EO-768x403.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-signs-EO-750x400.jpg 750w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-signs-EO.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2022/07/06/2025-trump-will-drain-the-swamp-re-invoke-long-overdue-schedule-f/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schedule F</a></h1>
<p>Think about the chutzpah required for a highly overpaid librarian at the National Archives to demand a former president give him the documents he wants while it&#8217;s clear he gave all kinds of leeway and/or options to Trump&#8217;s Democrat opponent and predecessor. But this appears to be about more than a few documents.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The effort to keep the raid low-key failed: instead, it prompted a furious response from GOP leaders and Trump supporters. &#8220;What a spectacular backfire,&#8221; says the Justice official.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-informer-told-fbi-what-docs-trump-was-hiding-where-1732283" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek, 8/10/22</a></p>
<p>The fact is the FBI and DOJ are more than capable of using unnamed sources and/or planting whatever evidence they want. They are the first that should be F&#8217;d come January 2025.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v1d1edf/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></p>
<p>There could be hundreds of thousands of pink slips issued after the process is observed and a lean and mean number of conservatives would be hired to replace the liberal obstructionists within. Some are starting to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chuck-grassley-fbi-justice-department-downplay-hunter-biden-information/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blow the whistle</a> on the rats. Some are calling the wahmbulance&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">FBI agents, as well as U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, are experiencing an uptick in death threats in the wake of the raid at former President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to sources speaking with Fox News.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-agents-garland-wray-see-increased-death-threats-trump-mar-a-lago-raid-sources" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News, 8/10/22</a></p>
<p>Excuse me but who in their right mind calls the FBI and DOJ to issue death threats? Not buying this bullshit.</p>
<p>&#8220;Drain the Swamp&#8221; has been the call and the raid was the answer. It&#8217;s the rogue employees who&#8217;ve been untouchable for years who are now freaking out because all can&#8217;t be absorbed into nonprofits and/or think tanks. Their resumes will reflect why they are seeking employment, many will be pariahs, and will be broke in an economy that will affect them. It will take Donald Trump some time to fix the damage Joe Biden deliberately caused and these insulated employees cheered on.</p>
<p>So waste time on your favorite news channel or podcast, etc. The one thing they&#8217;re probably not talking about, especially in the liberal media, is Schedule F. Once this becomes the topic of conversation, the last thing they&#8217;re going to want to report is how many Americans look at these taxpayer-funded liberal obstructionists and upon hearing they could be fired en masse, would say &#8220;Fuck &#8217;em&#8221;.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what this raid, and push to make sure Trump is somehow disqualified from ever running again, is about.</p>
