Will he win? We'll see, but I want you to
know the reality.
Jennifer Coffendaffer worked at the FBI long enough to degree
any kind of tenure you want to define.
OK. FBI agent, News Nation,
Law and Justice contributor. Jen,
thank you for joining me.
Has nothing to do with politics.
I never drag you into that.
I keep you pure, my friend.
So when it comes to how it works,
what is your assessment of how this went down in
terms of.
Instructions on use of force.
Very simply, Chris, it doesn't matter whether we are going
to conduct a search warrant at a plumber's house,
at Diddy's house or at Mira Lago.
It's a operations plan must be prepared that we refer
to as a SMIAK.
It describes the situation, the mission execution,
the administration and the communications that are going to be
used in every SMEAK there is the FBI's use of
force policy.
It's written and prior to going on the operation,
it's discussed. The legal or the attorney for that FBI,
called the CDC, comes in and goes over it and
makes it very clear.
Everyone knows that you are justified to use lethal force
if your life or the life of another is in
jeopardy of severe bodily damage or death.
The president doesn't order an FBI agent to do that.
Your supervisor doesn't order that.
That is something that is dictated by the circumstances.
So the suggestion that Nope,
this is different, Jennifer, they never do this and this
situation would never have called for this.
So somebody was preparing to go in loaded for bear
in this specific situation.
Do you buy that?
I do not buy that.
That is just inaccurate and in fact,
I will say this was deemed as a low profile
execution of the search warrant.
What does that mean? That means they did not Don
Gray jackets you didn't see.
M4S slung. You didn't see that at all.
This was low profile and they even notified Secret Service,
which of course they should have a couple hours in
advance to avoid any sort of situation.
And they made sure that President Trump,
former President Trump was not even in the state to
avoid confrontation.
