CNN Debunks Batshit Claims About FBI “Deadly Force”

“The very first line under the RNC’s ‘Top News’ claims that ‘deadly force was authorized against Trump during an FBI raid at Mar a Lago.’ That, you know, the intent of that being a possible assassination.

“Now, among those documents was something called a law enforcement operations order, which explains what agents are allowed to do and what they’re allowed to bring with them. In this case, when they searched Mar-A-Lago.

“So what’s in there is boilerplate language from the Justice Department manual about the use of force. It’s boilerplate. It’s everywhere. When the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.

“The language is standard, and it is directly from the department’s manual.” – CNN anchor Erin Burnett, after running a montage of batshit claims by the RNC, GOP reps, Steve Bannon, Fox hosts, and MAGA world figures.
