@Jolly Seems like we need more information before we can decide if this is worthy of the “banana republic” appellation.
You mean going after Manafort for the seventh prosecution in 50 years for a fairly common practice in Washington? Or trying to set up Flynn with the Logan Act, which I don't think had ever been prosecuted before. Or maybe it was the lie made up from whole cloth to smear Carter Page? Or just the travesty of the Russia! Russia! Russia! Hoax, with the lying to judges to obtain FISA warrants?
Look, even an idiot knows this raid was pure politics, authorized with a wink and a nod by the White House. It is a fishing expedition, trying to find something, anything to try to use Trump as a whipping boy for the Midterms, since they are about to lose their asses at the polls, and praying for some type of miracle to bar Trump from running in 2024.
Banana Republic?
Yep.

This decision was made in Garland's conference room. It's politics, worthy of a banana republic.
The Justice Department is corrupt and we are lurching into a post-Constitutional country. It is very evident that blind justice does not exist, that who is harassed and investigated depends on political affiliation.
I don't care what you think of Trump, this is chilling. Remember, the worm always turns...And paybacks are hell. That's not a good way to run a country.

Imagine being DeSantis and having to pretend you’re not thrilled with this news.
Imagine being more concerned over politicized business relationships between Disney and Florida than with using law enforcement institutions to harass an unpopular ex president.
I know, wait and see!

@Horace Indeed, let’s!
As I said above at least twice now, if they’re just doing this because they can (i.e. because there are classified docs there) they’ll have grossly overplayed their hand and shall be appropriately crucified.
But I strongly suspect that’s not what we’re looking at here.

Sure didn't take long for the half-assed -- no, quarter-assed, no, eighth-assed -- hysterical outrage to bloom. My god, people are so ready to fly into ecstasies of rage anymore. No need for anything like reflection; yer reactions are all right there, ready to be snapped up on the spot without even breaking a sweat.
The wisest thing I redd in this thread and probably would be over the entire Internet is Jon's counsel to wait and see. But nooo, thanks to the magic of the social colossus, everybody all knows everything already, don't we!
SMH.
