Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised. After all, this is the same FBI that falsified evidence to the FISA Court in order to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump associate Carter Page and thereby enabled it to spy on Donald Trump and his entire team. So if you’re thinking the FBI deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to decency and credibility and integrity, well, think again.
No, this ain’t your daddy’s FBI. Much as it pains us to say it, this is Joe Biden’s FBI, his Praetorian Guard. This is a nakedly corrupt FBI that has finally been exposed by more than a dozen whistleblowers, an FBI led by a gutless bureaucrat who last week skipped out on a serious grilling from Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans so he could board the FBI’s private Gulfstream 550 jet to vacation at his summer home in the Adirondacks.
Ultimately, and most troubling of all, this is an FBI that treats those on the Right differently than it treats those on the Left.
you cannot abash or shame such people. they are past that possibility. such words lack meaning in their paradigms. they can “feel” that they are right and nothing can move that. it justifies being beastly to others which is, after all, a delicious frisson they have long sought. it’s a feature, not a bug and they are reveling in it and the more they act the monster, the more they feel the need to outshine their peers in viciousness and unreason to validate outrages already enjoyed. ...
and this is how “justice” becomes tyranny and how the FBI becomes the FSB and if you think this is bad now, wait until we get 87,000 new IRS ideologues searching through the finances of all our enemies to deny them status and harry their every act or donation. wait until you see how many warrants we may obtain then and how complete and replete our enemies lists shall become.
it’s ideological war and there is no depth to which it will not stoop. it’s not about fair, it’s about willing and those willing to capture and monopolize the levers of power may act with impunity so long as they retain their grasp. ...
“we can get to him, we can get to you too. none of you are safe on his coattails. none of you are safe supporting him. he is enemy and we are strong. you’ll never pry us out of these spots. we own this town.”
it’s a classic flex for a losing team. as a regime’s legitimacy erodes, first it will threaten, then it will attack.
and they do not do it in a manner calculated to hide intent. they do it with triumphal fanfare flouted with rippling pride.
you don’t go pick some plausible pretext and neutral looking system. you pick the worst, most captured and flagrant judge you can find and trump up some real nonsense. this was not an accident, it was an expression of power.
just what is one trying to say by tagging in the former US attorney who went into private practice to get epstein and pals off of child trafficking changes with barely a wrist slap back in 2007 and were then later rewarded with a magistrate judgeship for his service?
we are corrupt, we are everywhere, and we are untouchable. ...
trump is like some sort of divide by zero error in the leftist amygdala and his mere mention seems to drive this group into frenzied need to tear everything and anything associated limb from limbic system. i don’t think i’ve ever seen anything like it. ...
3 or 4 years ago, if you said “disband the FBI” people would have looked at you like a madman manifesto maven. but it’s becoming common parlance. words to this effect are being spoken in congress and issue after issue from russian hoaxes to hunter laptops to entrapment into kidnapping...
a sitting US president with the lowest approval ratings in history allowing and enabling the departments of justice and enforcement to attack on flimsy pretext the likely frontrunner to unseat him in 2024 is just not a good look. ...
the president’s son can sell influence to ukrainian oil companies and chinese private equity firms and kick “10% up to the big guy” and justice is not only deaf and blind, but outright aids and abets in covering it up. now imagine where a trump child would be if that had been their “laptop from hell.”
need to outshine their peers in viciousness and unreason to validate outrages already enjoyed. ...
When you've even lost Cuomo:

Obama is running the show
More sleight of hand? Wray handing martyrdom to Trump to accelerate the resistance? Woo knows.
Obama always seemed more like a puppet than the mastermind.
I'm sick of this shit. All that needs to be done is be honest with the American populace in a 1/2 hour "this is what is actually FUCKING gone on", and all this crap ends.
"White Hats set a trap, it was planned, to search an EX POTUS house and in their safe. In the safe contained evidence and important documents. Therefore, since the FBI raided Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home, now other EX POTUS home can also be investigated and gone through their safes! Get it? The FBI just set a legal precedence to enter the home of a POTUS."
"The problem with Hillary was that everyone knew she had evidence hidden. Her servers, laptops, safes and phones all contained evidence of some of the worlds darkest criminal activities. However, the FBI could not gain access to her home. Therefore, the trap was laid and at the proper time Christopher Wray, FBI CEO, would “legally” invade a POTUS home."

I suppose all that would be very nice, but sounds like a bit of reverse logic hopium. However,...
FBI Agents Were Looking for Classified Records, Took Boxes of Documents From Trump Resort: Lawyer
“We had been very cooperative with them before. And it’s unclear to me why they went to such drastic measures to do this. But they did. And as far as the probable cause goes, they wouldn’t give that to us,” she added.
In mid-January, the National Archives and Records Administration arranged for the transport from Mar-a-Lago to the National Archives 15 boxes that the archives said contained presidential records. Under the Presidential Records Act, the records should have been transferred in January 2021 as Trump left office, the institution said in a statement at the time. The administration did not return an inquiry on Tuesday.
Approximately two dozen FBI agents arrived around 9 a.m. on Monday morning and remained at Mar-a-Lago, which is in West Palm Beach, for about 10 hours.
Agents initially resisted showing Bobb the warrant but ultimately did. But the agents would not allow any representatives of the former president to oversee the search, Bobb said. The justification for the search also remains under seal. Trump’s legal team plans on asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to unseal the search warrant affidavit, which would outline why authorities asked for the warrant.
“We don’t know what the probable cause is. I don’t think there is a good cause to do such a drastic thing. But they did,” Bobb said. ...
Agents kept Mar-a-Lago neat while they were searching for documents, with one even picking up trash, according to Bobb. The agents “took a handful of boxes of documents,” she said.
“I don’t think that there was anything incriminating. I don’t think there was anything of substance. So I’m sure that they will say otherwise. But we’ll have to wait and see what they come up with, but it was all paper. I hear the conspiracy theories and the rumors that there were other artifacts or something taken—it was all paper,” she said.
Agents previously visited the resort in June, and were given access to a storage facility there, according to Bobb. “Nothing had been hidden and nothing had been kept secret from them, which makes this all more all the more ridiculous,” she said.
“Donald Trump didn’t commit a crime,” Bobb said, adding that prosecutors would not be able to show that Donald Trump knew about the boxes the FBI took.
“They would have to lay the foundation that Donald Trump actually packed up his own office, and Donald Trump was actually the custodian of these records, and that he actually moved them,” she said.
If the DOJ decides to press charges against Trump, then the effort would not get very far, she predicted.
“I just don’t see it making a bit of difference. I think President Trump is going to most likely run for reelection,” she said. “I can’t wait until he does. And he will be the next President of the United States.”
They brought a search warrant signed by Judge Bruce E. Reinhardt, who is himself not without a Palm Beach connection. Prior to his judicial appointment, Reinhardt served as a defense attorney for criminally charged employees of Jeffrey Epstein, a former Palm Beach resident. Reinhardt’s contact information has been removed from the Southern District of Florida’s judicial website, but research by the Daily Wire reveals that he openly disparaged Trump during his presidency and contributed to Barack Obama and other Democrats.
Ostensibly looking for official documents that Trump failed to transfer to the National Archives at the end of his presidency, the FBI agents reportedly searched Melania Trump’s wardrobe, cracked Trump’s private safe, seized documents that were unrelated to their warrant, and refused to allow their nine-hour operation to be observed by Trump’s attorneys, who were not allowed to remain inside the house on a day when temperatures exceeded 90 degrees. ...
The raid on Mar-a-Lago is an outrageous abuse of power, making America look like what Trump’s putative 2024 rival Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called a “banana Republic” in response. But the former president can look forward to a discreet warm welcome when he returns later this year, likely with some encouraging news about his future plans.
Welcome to the Third World
The FBI really better have something "pulverizing" on Trump, because otherwise we've just witnessed one of the dumbest moves in the history of politics

In the most incredible of ironies, it was Trump himself, now targeted for destruction by the bureaucrats he sought to control, who enabled this in the dreadful year of 2020. Realizing but never admitting his error, he flipped in the other direction late in the season, arguing for openness and normalcy. But it was too late. He already lost control, as Deborah Birx’s book makes clear. The deep state that he had loathed needed to prove its hegemony. This raid on his own home underscores the point.
You really do wonder what makes them do the 'dumber than dumb' arrogant shit.
