FBI Raids Mar A Lago

[CountValentine]

They've been saying that for 6 years.

Don't be so hard on him.

You are confused. This could have been a quiet happening that nobody knew about. Of course the Secret Service was notified. Otherwise this could have been a shootout. It would not be a political tactic without anyone knowing it ever happened. If so, the one who publicized is the one who is making it into a political tactic.

Ah yes I was very confused. Thanks for clarifying.

When you raid a former President & serious 2024 contender, that’s huge. Raid of the century. People are upset & want answers because of the raid, not because news got out about it.

Everyone needs to relax. This is an investigation. Let it play out.

true, however, being that the last investigation turned out to be politically motivated I think skepticism is warranted.

The FBI should not disclose anything. Big mistake they made last election!!!

Which one?

[TimT]

Cuomo is right on this one. They need to come out now & inform the public.

There few sentences more absurd that could possibly be applied to our political, judicial, or justice system. This is America, land of the incarcerated and home of the prosecutorial free reign.

Before we crucify anyone (DOJ or Trump) we need to have it play out.

[CountValentine]

I love the part where Trump says they broke into his safe. I wonder if he left out the part that they asked for it to be opened or for the combination?

[CountValentine]

I am willing to bet this search results in at least one conviction.

[TimT]

The FBI should not disclose anything.

This is still the United States last I checked.
The longer this takes the more likely this plays out again

Big mistake they made last election!!!

Which one?

The one that tried to link Trump to Russian interference.

[CountValentine]

This is still the United States last I checked.

The last time I checked their policy is not to comment on ongoing investigations. IMHO that is the way it should be.

[CountValentine]

Their was many convictions as a result of that investigation. Trump was found not to be in conclusion with Russia.
I have no issue with the results.

Now contrast that with: The only conviction that Durham has obtained was from a low-level FBI lawyer who altered an internal email while working on an application to surveil adviser Carter Page.

Was the Durham investigation a hoax?

Disclosing it is definitely a political tactic, but it isn't necessarily politically motivated. Trump might be genuinely afraid of law enforcement and sees his best defense as having a large population behind him

He has tens of millions of election deniers behind him.

1) This isn’t your typical investigation.
2) 2024 is on the way. If the idea is to bar him from running then come out & say it.
