Trump Breathes Fire On Biden

WASHINGTON, Sept 5: Former US President Donald Trump literally breathed fire, calling the "FBI and DoJ as vicious monsters" even as the Department of Justice (DoJ) sat on the horns of a dilemma on whether to launch criminal prosecution against Trump before the election authorities enforce the 60-day deadline during which no legal action can be taken against candidates on the ballot.

This would be tantamount to influencing the elections, legal experts said. So, the DoJ may not be able to do this overtly but nothing prevented them from continuing an ongoing investigation internally like speaking to people around Trump to get at corroborating evidence on the FBI raid, media reports said.

"The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters, controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers and the media, who tell them what to do," said Trump in reference to the search that took place last month.

He was speaking at a huge election rally in Wilkes-Barre, Penn, in support of Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano.

Trump slamming the FBI in his first public speech after the agency's search of his Mar-a-Lago home was in stark contrast to Biden's speech earlier on in Philadelphia, also in Pennsylvania, where he accused the former President and his supporting republican allies of presenting a "clear and present danger" to the foundations of democracy and the republic.

But Biden chewed on his words later saying he didn't say the entire MAGA was a threat but those supporting the capitol hill insurrection, apparently not to disengage a section of the republicans distancing themselves from Trump.

The FBI warrant issued by Judge Bruce Reinhart justified the FBI's search of the former presidents Florida residence and on his order subsequently released some documents with heavy redactions last week, following a court battle, found evidence that classified documents might have been illegally stored at Trump's home despite an order for him to return them after he left office.

Later a former Trump lawyer claimed that Trump could have stashed copies of classified documents in his office in Manhattan Trump Towers and his children's home in New York to be used as a bargaining chip for escape from prosecution and his eventual freedom. (IANS)
