The Trump FBI raid is a political, coordinated effort. The libs will throw the kitchen sink at Trump before, during and after the midterms.

Hunter Biden is at home smoking crack, laughing, and watching this go down. Joe is fumbling with his footie pajamas. Obama's smoking a fatty on Martha's Vineyard, planning the next move.

Why did they carry it out in the middle of the night, when he wasn't there, with guns drawn? assassination attempt?

The most investigated man in history, and they still have nothing. Years from now we will learn the warrant was issued in bad-faith and no one will care...

Seems that the boxes were packed by General Services people and Trump has been coordinating with the archives all along; giving them access and allowing them to remove what they want.

Yeah, but the optics of that didn't work well for democrats, so they had to go all Roger Stone style.

"Middle of the night" is clearly metaphorical, but a) to bring machine guns to a president's residence and b) if Trump is already cooperating then at worst you need a subpoena, right?

It's nice that this raid happened within a day or two of the Democratic-controlled Congress to add 87,000 IRS agents. If they can do this to an x-president, certainly we will all be getting an ---- probe by the IRS soon.

The goal is fear and intimidation.

they raid happened at night, so no it was literally a middle of the night raid.

The FBI claims the raid was related to a previous mishandled classified information issue, yes. But he handed boxes back to the National Archives in January where the National Archives then referred the case to the DOJ to investigate. I'm trying to figure out what probable cause they lied about to get this warrant. oh wait, im sure they just changed the definition of probable cause on us again.

But, more important, is the true essence of what Federal law enforcement really stands for.

I saw on the news last night that the FBI showed up at 9am and was there until 6:30 last night.

An act of political theater.

If they do, then it is doubtful that they will neglect to fund the IRS and the FBI. I would like to see this happen, but Democrats and Republicans are not generally in the habit of not funding things.
