Mar-a-Lago raided
-
Statement of DJT: "These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States."
Feeling cornered, Donald?
But wait, there's moar!
"I stood up to America’s bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it."
What does this even mean???
Can there be any doubt that he's gone round the bend for real?

It wouldn’t be about the mere existence of classified records at ML. They wouldn’t do this unless they were looking for something specific and had a very good idea it was there.
Dont they (law enforcement) have to give the judge a pretty good idea of what they are looking for and what they think will be there?

@jon-nyc That was my very first thought also: Wow, they were reeeaaally close-mouthed on this. Might be a Washington DC first. Kind of lends weight to your observation that there must be some heavy stuff to find -- as well as somebody's determination to do so.

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.

@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.
