Trump grossly distorted the orders the FBI had on the Search of Mar-a-lago. Claiming Biden ordered the FBI to use lethal force.
Which immediately made the FBI issue an offical statement
"A former president falsely accusing his successor and rival of posing a threat to his life is without precedent in modern U.S. history."

Details of the "attempted assassination" of Trump on June 3rd 2022 by the FBI at Mar-a-lago
"Former President Donald J. TRUMP entered the MAL dining room and greeted the Agents and Attorney. TRUMP advised there was very good security at MAL. TRUMP stated he wanted to be open and transparent and that he was "an open book," and there for whatever the FBI needed. TRUMP thanked the DOJ and FBI for their good work prior to departing the dining room. "
RealClearInvestigations which is part of RealClearPolitics have always leaned right wing.
‘Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may (only) use deadly force when necessary …’”
This quotation, without explanation, omitted a crucial word — “only.”
The reverse megaphone of misinformation took mere hours to reach trump. No mention the omission of one word.
And the truth finally got it's pants on
