If you wanted to look like you were using the DOJ to selectively target a political enemy this is precisely what you would do.

(Of course a couple of failed impeachments of the same fella sent the same message but Dems gotta do what Dems gotta do.)

If only if and perhaps meant proof, you’d have something, but alas it’s been 6 years of that.

After watching for over a decade democrats weaponizing institutions, terrorizing, humiliating, intimidating political opponents, I expect they will try to prevent future elections, round up all political enemies and send them off to re-education camps.
China style.

I'm going to wait to see the evidence, if such exists, before deciding anything either way. If laws were broken and there's proof, it's up to the DOJ to litigate it. Attorneys on all sides will examine everything, and the process has to proceed lawfully.

Well, as a Watergate and FBI historian, four things stand out to me:


1) The idea the FBI launched a raid on a former president would have been approved and monitored at the highest level of the Justice Department; hard to even imagine how high the bar of probable cause must've been for the Bureau to initiate such a politically sensitive search....

2) A search warrant means an independent federal judge ALSO signed off on the probable cause and, independently, believes evidence there was likely a crime committed AND that more evidence would be found at Mar-a-Lago. That's huge too.

3) The fact the search apparently didn't leak until basically when word came from Donald Trump himself shows the FBI and the Justice Department conducted this search by the book and a high degree of integrity. No leaks? Impressive. Surely only a small team knew inside DOJ...

4) Taken together, this is one of the most significant, sensitive, and politically explosive actions the US Justice Department and FBI has ever taken—one of a tiny handful of times it's ever investigated a president.

Bottom line: The FBI & DOJ must've known they had the goods."
The 1st 2 points we heard in the Russian collusion hoax.

Neither side should have their minds set in stone on what this exactly is.

Donald Trump is not a political enemy, he is a criminal being investigated for a crime. You'll just have to get used to that fact.

You think the Democrats *want* to look like they are using the DOJ to selectively target a political enemy? I submit that if that’s what they were doing, they’d be less obvious about it.

This particular crime being investigated is 18 months old.

Secret Service protection would follow Donald Trump to the slammer if he ever ended up there, former agents say

Former President Donald Trump would almost certainly have Secret Service agents charged with protecting him even if he winds up in prison, former agency officials told Insider.

Peter Navarro told ari melber in front of a national audience about the false elector scheme

Eastman and other lawyers involved wrote emails acknowledging the false elector scheme was illegal

A White House lawyer told Eastman he will need a criminal defense lawyer because of his scheme

Trump was involved with this per RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel she revealed that Trump himself had asked her for help with the fake electors, and that she had honored his request.
“He turned the call over to Mr. Eastman, who then proceeded to talk about the importance of the RNC helping the campaign gather these contingent electors,” McDaniel says in the committee’s clip of her videotaped deposition,
Eastman asked for a pardon

The fbi executed search warrants for Eastman and Clark electronic devices


With Eastman admitting illegal activity and Ronna McDaniel testifying trump was involved this raid is the logical next step
