Sometimes a brief news report can lead to a possible big clue.

Recently there was a news report about Trumps lawyers warning him to stop talking to people who are being investigated, people like Meadows. It was reported Trump did not listen to his lawyers. Days later trumps home is raided. That is one hell of a coincidence.

We all know Trump communicates by phone. It is possible the FBI has phone taps in place and they heard something that set this raid in motion.

I am just guessing, I could be wrong.

It's certainly possible. We have known about the documents since Hortensis Aug 2022 #1
Wiretaps, didn't think of that. If a judge signed off on a search warrant maybe a wire tap warrant? Walleye Aug 2022 #2

reported by the press back in February or so and that a grand jury was convened shortly after that to look into them and their theft, but could something learned have triggered this action now?

Everything is fluid. I assume we don't know most of what's happening, most of the dots to connect not showing on our board, but we do know the attempted RW coup d'etat continues. And the FBI just searched the residence of its main leader for stolen documents.

We live in interesting times.

that he can’t help himself by shutting his big mouth!
And, he loves to get on his phone to blather.

- could very well have called Meadows.

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.

Promises made?
