Dozens of homes of allies to former president Donald Trump were raided by “jackbooted Gestapo” FBI agents, said former Trump advisor and popular media personality Steve Bannon Friday..“Thirty-five senior members of MAGA, the Republican Party, people close to Donald Trump, were rolled in on yesterday by the FBI,” said Bannon during an interview with conservative talk show host Charlie Kirk..“This is a Gestapo tactic,” Bannon said. “This is all about intimidation.”.“All these people have lawyers, they all know who the lawyers are, they didn’t serve these subpoenas to the lawyers.".“The jack-booted Gestapo has to show up at their door and make a big display of it. They wanted to make a big display of it, they wanted to take a bunch of their devices.”.“This is the FBI trying to roll in and trying to be muscle.”.Kirk noted that major media outlets have not reported on the raids..Bannon replied that he was “breaking the news right here.” .Liberty Center founder Harmeet Dhillon confirmed that the raids occurred..“This happened to many Trump allies I know as well,” Dhillon tweeted Friday..She later appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show to shed more details on the raids..“The FBI has launched a full-scale purge of supporters of Donald Trump. That would be Joe Biden’s, likely opponent in the coming presidential election, and that purges intensified significantly today,” said Carlson in his opening..Dhillon said there may have been as many as 50 people targeted by the FBI with search warrants or “extremely broad” subpoenas on requesting all communications ranging from a month prior to two months beyond the hotly contested 2020 election..Most of the communications are protected by the First Amendment, she said..“A few days ago, a political reporter called several people and said, hey, have you heard or have you been served yet? The FBI is going to be serving 50 approximately search warrants and or subpoenas on Trump supporters,” said Dhillon..“And United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is telling reporters about the search warrants and subpoenas before they were executed.”. “So, this is really outrageous abuse by the DOJ, and it is illegal for the DOJ to leak this information to the media.”.Dhillon said the only explanation is that the intent is to “install fear” into Republicans and “those who would challenge election irregularities right before an upcoming election.”.Democrats are expected to take a severe beating in the November 8 midterm elections..They fear Trump is going to run in 2024, which he has indicated he intends to do..“I can't believe decent liberals are sitting back and allowing this to happen this will wreck the country and they’re saying nothing about it it's really shocking to me,” said Carlson..Bannon dropped the bombshell the day after he was arraigned in Manhattan court on several charges linked to a crowdfunding fraud scheme. He is accused of cheating donors out of money raised to fund a wall on the US/Mexican border..Bannon was arrested Thursday, then released without bail after pleading not guilty to all counts..“There’s so much going on at so many levels that people don’t know about — bankruptcy, trying to de-platform them (Trump allies),” he told Kirk.. “This is this globalist apparatus. This is the American arm of that, the Biden regime … trying to do is shut down everybody…”. “Screw them. I spit right in their eye. I could care less. We're rolling and we're rolling hard, baby.”.The establishment is Washington is attempting to silence dissenting voices and resorting to “lawfare, financial terrorism, law—you know, everything legally — and quite frankly, up to assassinations,” he said..Bannon said the Biden administration has resorted to intimidation because it knows “they’re losing.”.Biden, whose popularity keeps plummeting in the polls, has stepped up his attack on MAGA Republicans painting them all as “threats” to the foundation of America..This is the largest, but certainly not the first, FBI assault on Trump or his allies..On August 9, FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort residence, rifled through former First Lady Melania’s closet, and after nine hours removed boxes of allegedly classified documents..In January, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro, 73, was arrested and shackled by FBI who swarmed him at an airport..Navarro was charged with criminal contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate with a House panel investigating the January 6, 2021 breach of the Capitol building..In a pre-dawn raid on January 2019, FBI in tactical gear moved in with battering rams and a helicopter on longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone’s Florida residence..Stone, 70, was taken into custody on charges of obstruction, giving false statements and witness tampering as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s $32-million two-year probe into Russian election interference.
