...related to the FBI raid are some thoughts below from Wired columnist and historian Garrett Graff on the FBI search conducted at Mar-A-Lago....



Tweet thread from above....
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 FBI agent’s and fbi might as well have shot themselves in the foot for this joke. November is just going to be a early start for Christmas.
The fbi has been a joke for a while now it’s just a long list of agencies that need to be dismantled.

They don't it "the Deep State" for nothing.....
