"Look, I’ll say this. You know, the President and the White House learned about this FBI search from public reports. We learned just like the American public did yesterday, and we did not have advance notice of this activity." Karine Jean-Pierre August 9th, 2022.
I knew that was a crock of shit even as it was coming out of her mouth. Now it turns out that the Acting Archivist at the National Archives went to the White House to request that the DOJ get the documents from Mar A Lago! So one of two things are happening here...either Joe and Karine ARE lying through their teeth to Americans...or the people who are really running the White House didn't bother to tell EITHER of them that they were about to sic the FBI on the former President of the United States by raiding his home!
