Did something happen last night? I could have sworn that I heard tens and hundreds of voices cry out in horror that something went down at Mar a Lago and the FBI did their fucking jobs and investigated a crime that occurred there.

Weird. Then these same people claimed that the FBI were politicized and that the head of the FBI should be fired and whoever hired that guy should be arrested.

Do any of these people know that Chris Wray was a Trump appointee? You doth protest too much.

Trump has broken more laws than most people can keep track of. I’ve tried my best to keep tabs on what crimes occurred, and it’s always expanding, because Trump commits crimes to cover up prior ones.

In no particular order: extortion, attempt to commit extortion (Ukraine). Emoluments (self-dealing while in office). Stolen classified info. Distributing stolen classified info (the 15 boxes taken during the move from the WH after losing election). Sedition. Attempt. Seditious conspiracy. Interfering in federal investigations. Interfering in election certification. Election fraud. Witness tampering. Interfering in Congressional investigations.

The list grows by the day, and the DOJ and FBI are expanding their scope of criminal investigations almost daily given new details identified and uncovered. Trump deserves all these investigations and the prosecution for same.

The FBI isn’t going to execute search warrants without getting a judge to sign off, and they’re not going to do so without overwhelming evidence that the warrants will identify evidence showing criminal conduct, proving criminal conduct, or supporting evidence of same. The evidenciary standards are high to secure a warrant in the first place - they’re even higher when the target of the warrant is the former occupant of the WH.

It’s not like the FBI or investigations required the former guy to pull his pants down and check the mushroom. They searched the building and opened the safe where documents could be located. They took those documents with them.

The reaction to all this is entirely predictable from Fox and the right wing echo chamber. They’re projecting like IMAX that this is somehow politicized action by the FBI, jackbooted thugs, etc., and it comes a day after we learned from Gen. Milley (via a book to be published instead of reported *AT THE FUCKING TIME IT HAPPENED*) had a conversation with Trump where Trump insisted that US generals act more like the goddamned Nazi generals around Hitler in WWII and show some loyalty to Trump - never mind that those Nazi generals launched at least 3 assassination attempts, Hitler committed suicide in a bunker, and Trump adores goddamned Nazis who engaged in genocide and war crimes.
