DOJ source calls raid a ‘spectacular backfire,’ claims AG Garland didn’t approve it HotAir

The story concludes with another big revelation. It claims that AG Merrick Garland was being updated on the National Archives investigation and knew about the grand jury but did not approve the search Monday. Newsweek s source claims Garland had no prior knowledge of the time of the raid. Instead it was FBI Director Christopher Wray who approved the search. Finally, the source adds, It really is a case of the Bureau misreading the impact.

This is a lot of new information but I think the big take-aways are that this had nothing to do with Jan. 6 and that these DOJ sources are now feeling a lot of pressure, enough that they are a) trying to explain themselves and b) blaming the spectacular backfire on the FBI and the US Attorney while trying to insulate AG Garland from the blowback.
