Observations about the right's reaction to the Trump warrant.

[everyonematters]

People are making allegations of political abuse without a shred of evidence. Other people are pointing out that this is unprecedented, but boxes of classified document turning up at a former presidents residence is also unprecedented.

1. They don't even understand the concept of 'evidence' or even 'facts in general'

All they do is gaslight, 24/7.

2. Where has it been reported the FBI found classified documents?

[Caliman73]

4. The OP is not saying they found classified documents...

The OP is saying that the search warrant was issued on the reasonable suspicion that Trump took classified documents out of the White House and might have them at Mar A Lago.

We don't know, and likely won't know for a long time (if ever) exactly what the FBI found there.

8. Wrong!

No information has been provided about the documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago, and certainly no information has suggested they were “classified”. Please, let’s not elaborate on an already significant story.

5. I'm not saying they found them in the raid.

It was reported months ago that boxes of classified docuemnts were at Mar - a - lago.

7. By inferrence. Two investigations open. 1/6 and removing classified documents. FBI did seize paper.

The Justice Department has two known active investigations connected to the former President, one on the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and January 6, 2021, and the other involving the handling of classified documents.



The FBI's search included examining where documents were kept, according to another person familiar with the investigation, and boxes of items were taken. Following the National Archives' recovering of White House records from Mar-a-Lago in recent months, the FBI on Monday had to verify that nothing was left behind.



Christina Bobb, Trump's attorney, said the FBI seized documents. "President Trump and his legal team have been cooperative with FBI and DOJ officials every step of the way. The FBI did conduct an unannounced raid and seized paper," Bobb said



WERE they classified documents relating to the first investigation or documents relating to the 1/6 investigation.

NO ONE KNOWS yet.

3. NOT A RAID. They are not allowed to use that term.

This was NOT a no knock warrant where the SWAT team broke in guns blazing and left people for dead...

"Wrong apartment, oh our bad."


The Secret Service detail guarding the home was called prior. Warrant served. FBI allowed entry. Items confiscated that matched the warrant. End of story.

IF HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE, he has nothing to fear.


BUT he still isn't releasing his tax records, is he?

6. Recommended.

Well said. We are in unchartered territory. We have been since Trump ran in 2016.

[TigressDem]

9. yep.

You got THAT right.

10. And that is from 2019.

There can be no doubt that he is the very worst ever. I imagne that Richard Nixon is looking down from hell, shaking his head.

[TigressDem]

11. True

Once all the facts are out... hopefully we win and that happens.

Then it will show he intentionally went against his oath of office and allowed people to die to keep his image in tact, was advocating his own VP be hung because he would not commit and illegal act, moved forward agendas of hatred and racism and divided the country so he could rob it blind.

At least that seems to be where what facts we have are pointing toward.

YEAH. THE WORST.

12. In modern history,

LBJ had issues, and Nixon had an anti-social personality disorder. Trump is a sociopath. He stands alone.
