A senior Justice Department official — a career attorney with decades inside the institution — sent a quiet, anxious email two days after the FBI’s August 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago. She hadn’t known the raid was coming. And she wasn’t sure it should have happened the way it did. The email, recently surfaced by Just the News as part of a broader inquiry into the weaponization of federal law enforcement, was written by Patty Stemler, a longtime DOJ veteran whom Attorney General Merrick Garland had tapped in 2022 to help consult on Trump-related cases. She sent it to Sophia Brill,

What kind of man writes those words about a soldier who took four bullets? That is the question now trailing Graham Platner, the far-left Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, as a deleted Reddit post from 2019 continues to find its audience. The post — attributed to his old account, “P-hustle” — targeted a helmet-cam video of Private First Class Ted Daniels, who was shot four times in a 2012 firefight with the Taliban and later received the Purple Heart. Platner’s commentary was not a critique. It was contempt. “Dumb motherf*cker didn’t deserve to live,” he wrote. He called Daniels a
