the raid.
This article is clearly leaked from the DOJ who is spinning damage control, and it appears to mix a fair amount of fact with self serving fiction.
As Johnothan Turley pointed out last evening, “low profile” would have been to issue a subpoena.
Also, the article fails to point out the nature of the raid - it was for archival material.
It also fails to explain why the DOJ is placing moles inside the Trump circle after all of this past history.
(Are we to believe that the maid or some such person came forward as a good American because of her concern for National Archive material……come on! DC Lifers barely know about the department and it’s rules and the 2018 law signed into effect).
It’s very clear that this is a “gotcha operation” - probably over trivial material. My judgment would be based on what Trump was keeping….if he did so. But we have the problem of how the search was conducted. They kicked out witnesses and representative lawyers first which means they could easily plant information.
Whom do we trust? Trump or the Biden DOJ? Well, who has the history of altering documents to bring down the Trump in the past?
In my mind, they blew this raid the moment they closed out everyone and had the ability to do whatever they want because the have zero credibility based on past behavior.
I really want DeSantis, but this was a set up……and remember, Nancy just had to brag that she had heard “chatter” to let people know of her importance. For the DOJ to raid a former and potentially future POTUS’s home without the AG or the POTUS knowing is not plausible and particular egregious lack of governmental control if it were true.
This was politically planned.
