Trump Raided by Feds
The private residence of the leading political party opposition of the current illegal regime occupying the White House has been raided by the FBI, acting as the regime’s private Gestapo.
The excuse for the FBI to enter the home, break open safes, and plant evidence is even more flimsy and absurd than the excuses used to promote the Russia Collusion hoax, the Ukraine Phonecall hoax, the January Capitol Trespass hoax, and countless other investigations mounted against Trump and his family.
Pardon me if I do not dignify the excuse by repeating it or rebutting it: my lawyerly soul recoils in disgust.
Even taken at face value, sending armed men to recover documents that first, do not exist, second, if they did were removed by staffers, third, if they had been removed would not have been illegal (since the President can declassify any document at will by removing them from the White House), fourth, if they had been removed illegally, Trump already offered, without reservation, to have officers of the national archives go through his documents to confirm.
The FBI padlocked the room to secure it weeks ago, in order to secure any possible documents while the Archivists investigated. During the raid, they broke the padlock they themselves installed.
The mishandling of classified documents by former presidents has never been pursued criminally ever before.
The regime been criminalizing political opposition for some time now, but this is a line, once crossed, that prevents peaceful reconciliation.
The FBI and other intelligence agencies must be defunded, dismantled, abolished. Every Republican politician unwilling to call for abolishing the FBI must be primaried and thrown out of office.
Once Congress is back in our hands — if the vote is allowed to happen — everyone suspected of involvement in this corruption must be investigated and raided and jailed.
The IRS has been equally weaponized against you. Two thousand special agents are armed and allowed to make arrests.
Conservatives and conservative groups will be targeted. Expect armed men at your door.

Here, for the record, is the full statement by Trump, which also was the first outlet to break the story:
These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.
It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections.
Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.
Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.
They even broke into my safe!
What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.
The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more, it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!
Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture, and other items from the White House.
I stood up to America’s bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories, and see my dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop me, and the Republican Party, once more. The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped.
I will continue to fight for the Great American People!

Allow me to repeat one wry comment from a wag on Twitter codenamed Entropy:
So the three people most responsible for the raid: The man to whom Trump denied a Supreme Court seat; A man who quit as a prosecutor to become one of Epstein’s lawyers; And a man Trump tried to have fired from the FBI for incompetence. No legitimacy questions here!
