The FBI now is claiming that Joe Biden, whose actual knowledge of and involvement in that agency's armed SWAT-style raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home never has been fully explained, didn't know that Attorney General Merrick Garland authorized those agents to use deadly force if they thought it was needed.

The bureau, according to the Gateway Pundit, has released a statement in response to the scandalous news confirmed a day ago that those "deadly force" authorizations were given to FBI agents raiding Trump's home.

The FBI said it, "like other law enforcement agencies, requires the team leader of any search warrant or arrest warrant to complete a standardized form known as an 'Operations Plan.' This form, which also must be read by the team leader to all assisting agents, is a reminder of the FBI’s deadly force policy. This is a legal requirement to be included on all Ops Plans and read to agents immediately preceding the enforcement action. The President (Biden) has nothing to do with, and has zero input on, an Ops Plan. This is an internal law enforcement document and a standardized form that FBI lawyers require before engaging in any enforcement operations."

Nonsense, charged Dan Bongino, a popular commentator and former Secret Service agent who worked in the Barack Obama White House.

"Don’t buy the bullsh otherwise. It was not a standard op. The MAL raid was an unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues and conflict. It also involved competing equities between federal agencies (FBI & USSS) with equal statutory claims to interrupt the other’s activities. Anyone telling you otherwise is either dumb, or playing dumb. I’ve done more deconfliction with Russians in a foreign op I did for the USSS than the FBI did in their search warrant at MAL. Only a dumba would pitch the 'it’s the standard paperwork' line. Go serve a search warrant at the White House in the cocaine case while filling out your 'standard paperwork' and see how that works out for you. Wake up."

The revelation about the deadly force authorization was found in court papers in one of the Democrats' lawfare cases against Trump, which were released by Judge Aileen Cannon.

The so-called "standard" papers demanded, "Should FPOTUS [Trump] arrive at MAL [Mar-a-Lago], FBI MM EM and OSCs will be prepared to engage with FPOTUS and USSS Security Team. Should USSS provide resistance or interfere with FBI timeline or accesses, FBI MM EM will engage with [redacted] and [redacted] will engage with USSS POC’s per existing liaison relationships.

The senior scientific adviser to then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci bragged about helping Fauci evade the Freedom of Information Act by using Fauci's private email address or just handing him documents in person, according to newly disclosed emails.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic published the evidence ahead of a hearing with that adviser, David Morens, related to his own communications in which Morens admits to intentionally evading FOIA by using a personal Gmail address.

Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, accused Morens of obstructing the panel's investigation in a subpoena earlier this month. Originally scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday, the hearing has been pushed back to 3:30 p.m.

The 35-page report on Morens includes previously unreleased emails.

An April 21, 2021 email shows Morens contacted EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, whom Morens has described as his "best friend" and a U.S. taxpayer conduit for the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as well as Boston University and New England Biolabs researchers.

The subject line references "CoV research in China, GoF, etc.," referring to EcoHealth-facilitated coronavirus research at WIV that could make a virus more transmissible or dangerous. The National Institutes of Health recently admitted it funded gain-of-function research under that definition but not a stricter regulatory definition.

"PS, i forgot to say there is no worry about FOIAs," Morens wrote. "I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could get him in trouble."

A May 13, 2021 email to the same recipients referred to "our 'secret' back channel" by which Morens connected Fauci to a journalist named "Arthur," apparently to discuss the feds' preferred narrative that SARS-CoV-2 emerged naturally rather than via lab leak. The email cited an article on the message board Virological.

Gerald Keusch, associate director of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory Institute at BU, emailed Daszak Oct. 25, 2021 to relay a phone conversation with "David," who is "concerned about the privacy of text" and email sent and received on his "government phone" because they "could be FOIA'able."

"Tony has told him not to be in touch with you and EHA for the time being," Keusch wrote. Morens relayed that Daszak should get his story straight on EcoHealth's claim that NIH locked it out of the system when it tried to file its year-five progress report that disclosed an arguable gain-of-function experiment.

Earlier in the day, Morens told Daszak "i will be meeting with Tony about this later on." The subject line of the thread was "Draft response to Michael Lauer," deputy director for extramural research at NIH.

Morens also told Daszak that Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins are "trying to protect you, which also protects their own reputations," apparently meaning against allegations that U.S. tax dollars passed through EcoHealth funded research that may have led to SARS-CoV-2's emergence.
