    Well here's a shocker.

    Trump never did send the FBI or the DoJ to Florida to take over or investigate voter fraud that never happened.

    A man, Trump, who is so unfamiliar with truth lying yet again. There's your current GOP frontrunner folks.

    The FBI has said it can find no records related to former President Donald Trump’s assertions in November that he “sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys” to stop “ballot theft” in Florida during the 2018 election.

    In a letter dated March 6 and received this week by NBC News, the FBI wrote that it had searched its Central Records System but was “unable to identify records” in response to a reporter’s Freedom of Information Act request seeking any records related to Trump’s claims.


    The FOIA request was submitted a day after Trump on Nov. 10 described how he delivered a 2018 election win to now-Gov. Ron DeSantis by having the FBI intervene to stop election fraud in Broward County.

    Trump issued the statement at a time when DeSantis, a Republican and potential presidential candidate, was garnering praise from right-leaning media for his resounding re-election victory last year.

    “[A]fter the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen,” Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social.

    Trump’s claims, which he did not support with any evidence, raised serious questions about whether he used the power of the presidency to order federal agents to intervene in an election. The bar for the FBI to get involved in election tabulation is exceedingly high, with strict guidelines prohibiting its presence inside voting locations.

    Trump=bat **** crazy=perfect candidate for the MAGA crowd

    No, wait, just more evidence of how the DOJ and the FBI are weaponized and working for the Democrats, that they would lie about not having any records just to make Trump look bad.

    Sarc/off

    Seriously, Trump is off his rocker.

    It’s insane that he is their front runner.

    It just goes to show how the extreme outliers in the party has completely consumed it.

    You know the FBI has an issue with Trump don't you? They raided his home in Mar-a-Lago when they knew he wouldn't be there and searched all through Melania's underwear drawers.

    They did? Are some drawers off limits in a search warrant?

    He admitted that he lied like a politician even before he became a politician.

    Who exactly is "the FBI"? A name would be nice. The FBI is infected with anti-Trump agents.

    Trump would be in worse trouble if the FBI backed up his claim.
