I am exceptionally skeptical of this being anything other than politically motivated. There are serious questions about the unprecedented FBI raid reportedly seeking classified materials from former President Trump's residence.

As the Lead Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I am demanding an immediate briefing by FBI Director Wray regarding the national security risk that allegedly rose to the level of ordering a raid on the residence of a former President.

(9,291 posts)and this idiot needs to be careful what hes asking. They arent going in for his match box collection.
Every other President knows what to leave at the White House. This isnt about some glass figure that Trump liked, that cost over 50 bucks as a gift.

(52,253 posts)ok, specifically it being the home of a former president is unprecedented; but investigating a politician over their handling of classified information, not so much.
of course, hillary was exonerated. i have my doubts about donnie ever bring cleared of this one. not that his supporters will ever believe donnie the most obvious crook on the planet could ever have actually committed a crime....

A day before his appearance at CPAC, Orbán and his delegation met with former President Donald Trump at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
THAT shady person. (check Orbán's bags, screw diplomatic immunity!)
Hmmmmm. Are people monitoring? Spying at the sewage treatment plant?
Do ya remember Tarrio, BY COINCIDENCE visiting the White House (a "three hour tour" ) just before the coup attempt?
Reeks of YET MORE treasonous bullshit.
Act fast.
I hope that "unknown vandals" grab Orbán's bags.

(6,537 posts)that it would take a national security risk to enable a raid on Mar a Lago. So, if Wray doesn't produce a reason that satisfies this guy's feeling of what constitutes national security, then he'll say that it was an unconstitutional search and seizure.
Problem for him is that the search warrant may not be available to him, and he may not have the need to know. Just trying to throw his weight around--because maybe we'll get lucky and Trump won't be able to run for office!
