First Former President to Have Home Raided by FBI

See...

To the MAGAmind this was a clear cut abuse because he was told it was an abuse, as if the FBI couldn't possibly have a valid reason to search the premises. No chance it was valid. Not even comprehensible. Why? Because the great leader said it wasn't valid, and that's all the followers need to hear.

However, attempting to do much worse is fine because he supports the would be abuser.

This is stereotypical cult follower behavior.

Oh you think yesterday was the example of this regime ABUSING federal power?

I'm sure you think Russia and Trump still colluded and Hunter Bidens laptop is Russian Disinformation.

Cute little sheep

I am not and never will be a Donald Trump supporter. If and when he runs for president, I’ll go through the long list of reasons I have for feeling that way. But as a journalist it’s become impossible to believe that the endless investigations of Trump over the last six years have become anything but a permanent feature of his political opposition
…

When Marc Elias — the former top attorney to the Hillary Clinton campaign, who oversaw another lawyer indicted for lying about his role in concocting Trump-Russia stories — tells us outright that the “bombshell” angle now is that the charge in question could result in Trump’s automatic disqualification from the 2024 elections, we should sit up and listen. It was already straight out of the Papa Doc/Mobutu playbook when Joe Biden was quoted in the New York Times saying he wanted his Attorney General Merrick Garland to hurry up and prosecute Trump, but using federal cops to disqualify the current poll leader of your opposition on a records technicality is pure fingernail-factory politics, I’m guessing scarier to many observers than the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Of course Trump should be investigated. I doubt there are many outside his voting base who would be surprised to learn he’d committed a probably serious crime (I’ve been waiting for years for a case to emerge out of Trump University or the Trump Soho deal). However, unless yesterday’s events are tied, quickly, to an attempt by him to prevent Biden’s 2020 certification, or an effort to game the electoral system ahead of 2024, or some other devastatingly serious crime, this is absolutely going to play as the crudest harassment. I worry particularly about the reported presence of counterintelligence agents at the raid, raising the specter — which numerous sources told me is theoretically possible — of parts of this investigation remaining secret. If any of this happens, the Biden administration will have achieved the impossible, turning Donald “Grab ‘Em By the Pussy” Trump into a victim.

Moreover, they’ll have guaranteed that the next Republican who wins the White House, if such a thing is allowed again, will tug at every rein of power to prevent ever having to leave and risk this kind of prosecution. Ask anyone who grew up in autocratic societies how that dynamic works. There has to be more than what we’re hearing, or else yesterday — otherwise a beautiful summer Monday — will go down as an infamous crossroads, a day we passed a point of no return.

Aw poor babies. So oppressed you are. Boooohoooo. The funniest thing is the short bus people just outright saying they are mad because they wanted to do this to the other side.

LOL! You continue to show yourself to be an uninformed clown. Quit embarrassing yourself and stick to smoking dope.

If they breathe incorrectly now the Liberal WOrld Order comes after him. Its all about biding time now until the power in DC changes after November.

Look at what they did to him in NY. All that harassment that resulted in NOTHING. This is in the same aggressive playbook but turned up to the highest level.

Not sure which I find more laughably premature: the absurd victory lap from the Left or the assuredness of this being baseless from the Right. Unless I missed something (probable since I don’t care) that sheds more light on the investigation and the warrant, I see no basis for either decide to declare much of anything.

That said, there’d better have been one hell of a good reason to do this. Otherwise it’s a painfully bad idea. (With what little I’ve read, I’m honestly leaning toward that)

After the Russian Collusion stunt we have a tendency not to believe the FBI.

The early reports seem pretty flimsy.

And also- if this wasn’t to the LETTER by the book. It is also a bad look
