Federal prosecutors on Friday asked the judge overseeing the classified documents case against Donald Trump to bar the former president from public statements that “pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents” participating in the prosecution.
The request to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon follows a distorted claim by Trump earlier this week that the FBI agents who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022 were “authorized to shoot me” and were “locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.”
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was referring to the disclosure in a court document that the FBI, during the search, followed a standard use-of-force policy that prohibits the use of deadly force except when the officer conducting the search has a reasonable belief that the “subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.”
Trump is lying. Fox News is lying. Anyone you read or hear who says that the FBI was going to kill Trump is lying. The easy proof is that Your Orange Demigod was not at Mar-a-Lago and it takes a really gullible sap to believe that if the FBI wanted to shoot Trump in the search, that they are too fucked up to do the search thinking Trump was there.
But hey, if you believe the bullshit that Trump and Fox spew on a daily basis, there's really no hope for you.
When the Attorney General, especially media reluctant Garland has to put the Big MAGA Lie to rest, you know the T(Reich)*** party is fire hosing the rubes from their deep well of bullshit. And Fox bloviators have manned the firetruck.

Eck!
Turn their lie on its head. The warrant clearly states the the FBI isn't allowed to used deadly for unless the subject uses it first. Therefore, if they believed Trump's life was a risk (I know, he wasn't even there) why they planned to use deadly force against the FBI agents.
