CNN: The FBI just raided Mar-A-Lago

I mean I guess that's fine. But do you really think that the FBI raided a former president to get people to vote in the midterms?
It's not. There hasn't been enough time for anyone to comb through that data, if it's even been delivered yet. We know they've been requested by the Jan 6 committee, but haven't heard anything about the DOJ looking at the texts.
This is most likely about the classified documents he took with him to Mar-a-Lago after his presidency ended.
Given the stories about Jared making a suspicious number of requests for classified documents while securing a bunch of foreign business deals in the early days of the Trump administration, I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling these documents to other governments in exchange for business approvals
Freakin' LOL at Marco Rubio. Has he forgotten Trump not only campaigned on jailing Hillary but attempted to have both Sessions AND the FBI investigate/prosecute her?
I get why this is important, but we know the FBI also made a fake investigation on Brett Kavanaugh despite the evidence.
Something actually fucking happening, and in a way thats not telegraphed so they can have time to gather and shred evidence.

Good point by Isaac dDovere. Many have been frustrated by garlands lack of a statement or action against trump, and have been openly criticizing him, and he hasn't taken the bait.
The silence ends up leading others to not expect action, be flat footed, and shields the doj from most charges of partisanship. And meanwhile they've been doing the work. You don't raid the house of a president without really good reason to.
Would it even be possible for a former president to get a fair trial from a jury?
You do understand this hasn't happened ever in American history. But. Yawn.
looking in the wrong spot, they needed Ivana buried on trump property so they could hide burying the good shit evidence with her
If they destroyed or tampered with the evidence, they're going to jail.
I had no idea Hunter Biden held a position in the US Government lol
FOX really is balls out insane

this merrick garland guy sounds like he would make a great supreme court justice
Exactly. Which is why I'm not celebrating until anything is actually done. Something more than a raid that gets internet warriors happy for a couple days before we all forget about it and then he somehow wins in court(if it comes to that) and his base is energized.
Yes this. Wake me up later though. This is nice, but nothing until he's actually charged.
And?
Gladly, if and when he's charged and put behind bars.
I'm just tired of this pendulum of yay dunk on Trump back to oh nothing happened. Sorry if I'm raining on yalls "happy day" moment.
You'd think someone known for routinely destroying everything he touches wouldn't keep evidence at his estate but he is a fucking idiot. I wonder how they knew? Something from Jones' phone?
"lol, Alex, I keep that shit in my safe - what are they gonna do, raid a President's house!?!" - President who was raided.
Also, could we please put "but her emails" on his tombstone sometime this year.

Amazing times when you see headlines about the FBI raiding a former president's residence and the first question that comes to mind is "I wonder WHICH criminal investigation this is related to?"
Seems like there should be some kind of press conference after raiding a former president? They can't just do this raid and then keep being hush hush for months or whatever. Obviously they can if they want, but the MAGA people are going to get more and more riled up
The property is his personal residence so it's perfectly natural for the Secret Service to be present even if he's not.
Dark Brandon memes turning out to be the inverse of all the Trump memes expecting Trump to suddenly arrest Hilary Clinton and stuff like that, I wonder if we've been missing some inverse Q drops being posted on the internet.
Maybe Trump himself was inverse Q all along.

If nothing else, it's worth it to flush out the shrill "bad government, bad!" hypocrites on social.
Look at them, scurrying for their talking points! SCURRY SCURRY!

if he lives there there's probably always a security detail at the residence
This sort of pierce the veil action seems to be unprecedented. I don't think we have anything to base expectations on, because for the most part the shittiness presidents have done in the past has been in the name of the nation, not in their personal benefit.
If you think that he operates like a a dumb ass mafia mobster absolutely he would have that kind of shit on his property.
Makes sense. Not sure how many Secret service agents are around immediate former presidents but most live nearby or in the building.
Of course taxpayers have been footing this bill and trump is likely billing them exorbitant rates.
Feels like any criminal trial would have to be before a judge if a president is ever prosecuted. Not like judges are impartial, but presidents don't exactly have "peers" who could fill a jury pool.
Fox news not understanding due process and evidence led investigations, and the fact warrants have to be based on those two other things. I AM SHOCKED.
You must know how ignorant and miserable you sound by dismissing this as nothing. No one's popping champagne just yet, but it's nice to know the bottle is chilling.
Earlier this summer, AG Garland (controversially) reiterated the Bill Barr-emphasized policy that no DoJ political investigations/indictments can go forward around election time, without clearance from higher ups.
Considering Trump is not running for office in 2022 I don't see how that's relevant, but then again I'm not in a political party moonlighting as a cult of personality.
