The FBI’s search, and the broader effort to hold Trump accountable, are anything but that, of course. FBI agents don’t get to waltz into a former president’s home and execute a search warrant unless a federal judge has already reviewed the warrant and approved it. A judge wouldn’t have signed off unless investigators demonstrated they had probable cause to search Mar-a-Lago because there was evidence of crime there.
That’s not “Third World” lawlessness. That’s how a proper federal investigation unfolds. And those worried that holding a former president accountable for his crimes runs the risk of sparking a constitutional and political crisis should consider the converse: Allowing Trump to end-run the law also threatens to shred the fabric of American democracy and justice.

Doesn't it worry you a little that the DNC/FBI is targeting future candidates of other parties? Sounds more like something Castro or Yelensky would do. Especially when President Biden and Speaker Pelosi have so many skeletons in his closet.

What's not to love about the bolded statement,
"A judge wouldn’t have signed off unless investigators demonstrated they had probable cause to search Mar-a-Lago because there was evidence of crime there."
I would suggest that you educate yourself regarding the action of judges in the issuance of FISA warrants.

well now......GUESS it does not matter...when u r hell bent on destroying something. TRUMP, the gov.,the NSA (thank u SNOWDEN).....IT'S ALL THE SAME, break the back of a structure OR a person, when the means justifies the action.....
"he raid is a significant escalation of the department’s relationship with Trump. It’s now difficult to think, as many of us long did, that the DOJ is unwilling to make Trump himself the object of a serious criminal inquiry.
Why now? Supposedly, the raid was carried out pursuant to Trump’s improper handling of classified documents. The former president has long been dogged by accusations that 15 boxes of secret material came with him from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after he was finally forced to leave office in January 2021, a move that would violate federal codes governing the destruction or removal of such materials.
If that is indeed what the feds are looking into, then the raid on Trump’s Florida resort will be less about the content of whatever documents they may find than the mere physical presence of classified material in a place it is not supposed to be. In that case, it won’t be that the agents uncover a secret journal of Trump’s crimes, or hidden evidence of previously untold corruption. It will be that the presence of documents themselves, housed away in Trump’s safe or somewhere else within the gaudy halls of his home, is evidence of wrongdoing.
But the laws governing the handling of documents are toothless and rarely enforced, and the notion that Trump is being criminally investigated for the wrongful handling of classified material – and not, say, the months-long attempt to overturn an election, culminating in a violent putsch – has the deflating quality of the absurd. The DOJ investigating Trump for his 15 boxes of documents is a bit like when the FBI was finally able to prosecute the mobster Al Capone – for tax evasion.
But some accountability is better than none, and it could be that the agencies are pursuing the easiest possible case against Trump in an effort to leverage their way to more information. They have reason to try. The raid comes after a season of blockbuster January 6 committee hearings, which have revealed substantial new information about the extent of Trump’s foreknowledge of the insurrection and his approval of it."

Anyone notice how most of the worthless leftist media was calling this a “raid”, then 24 hours later they all in unison started calling it a search. It’s also funny how the WH and all the top Democrats acted like they knew nothing. So typical of the usual hunt for a crime they’ve failed at for 6 years. Pathetic.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

This will be just one of many instances when you will be wrong but will act like you never made the claim. Will you write a retraction this time or will you just hope we forget?

FBI agents recouped four sets of “top-secret” documents, three sets of “confidential" documents and three sets of “secret” documents from Mar-a-Lago, according to the list of items seized in the raid and unsealed by a judge on Friday. Another set of documents was labeled “Various classified TS/SCI documents,” a reference to “top-secret” and “Sensitive Compartmented Information.”
