In the wake of the FBI raid on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, investigative journalist Julie Kelly has been vocal in her criticism of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Biden administration. Kelly’s scrutiny of the raid, which she claims was carried out with excessive force and under dubious legal justifications, has brought to light several key issues regarding the standard operating procedures for such operations.
Julie Kelly’s work emphasizes the gravity of the situation. “Look at these miserable people. Destroying the country and covering it up under the ruse of ‘saving democracy’ carries with it physical and emotional consequences,” Kelly remarked on Friday, on her social media in reaction DOJ statements to the press about the situation, pointing to the broader impact of the raid beyond the immediate legal implications.
A critical moment in this unfolding controversy occurred when Attorney General Merrick Garland addressed former President Trump’s claim that the Justice Department had authorization to use lethal force during the Mar-a-Lago raid. Garland categorically denied this, stating, “That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous.” In response, Kelly countered on social media, “What is extremely dangerous is the Biden DOJ approving and executing an unprecedented, unnecessary, armed clandestine FBI raid at MAL where the ops plan including guidance on how to use lethal force. Not limit it–when force was appropriate.”
Kelly’s assertions are based on her investigation into the operational orders (op orders) associated with the raid. She has demanded transparency regarding these documents, suggesting that the procedures used might have broken laws related to preplanned threats against a former president who is still under U.S. Secret Service protection. “The fact DOJ had to respond demonstrates how bad this looks. And let’s see the op order for Biden’s search,” Kelly insisted, urging for a comparative analysis of similar orders for other high-profile searches, including those involving President Biden.
The media narrative often suggests that the authorization order Kelly exposed is standard operating procedure for such raids, including those conducted under Biden’s administration. However, Kelly remains skeptical and persistent in her demands to see that evidence. She argues that without full transparency, it is impossible to determine if the procedures were followed appropriately or if they were misused to target a political opponent.
Kelly’s investigative work, which involves unsealing documents and exposing court filings, aims to bring to light any potential misuse of power by the DOJ. Her efforts underscore the importance of holding government agencies accountable and ensuring that all actions taken, especially those involving high-stakes political figures, are within the bounds of the law.
In conclusion, Julie Kelly’s examination of the Mar-a-Lago raid raises significant questions about the DOJ’s operational procedures and the broader implications for democracy and justice in the United States. Her call for transparency and accountability resonates with a growing concern among many Americans about the balance of power and the integrity of governmental actions. As more documents are unsealed and further details emerge, Kelly’s relentless pursuit of the truth continues to shed light on this controversial episode.
