Trump's relentless attacks on Mar-a-Lago search lack context. What he said vs. what we know.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump has blasted the Aug. 8 search of his Florida estate by questioning the justification for the unprecedented action at a former president’s home, criticizing how the FBI carried it out and questioning what was taken from Mar-a-Lago.

Since then, Trump has made a number of statements through social media posts on his website Truth Social and through public statements that often lack context and facts that rebut his own allegations.

Below we looked at what Trump said and offered important information. But first, here are some basic facts about the search:

A judge in Florida signed off on the search warrant: U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart signed off on the search warrant allowing the FBI to look for evidence of criminal violations of the Espionage Act, mishandling defense documents and obstruction of justice.

I didn't think you could. Invading a man's home like that!

FBI: We can.

Trump: I didn't think you'd dare.

FBI: We dared.

Trump: Not fair!

FBI: We have a search warrant.

Trump: I returned all the documents, if I kept any, you planted them, and if you didn't, I declassified them ages ago.

FBI: We don't believe you. We are going to check anyway!

Trump: Don't you believe me?

FBI: No.

etc

Justice matters.

Jim Jones made them all drink the fatal flavor-aid after all.

This is no different.

Cults seem to be a part of the human condition.
Unfortunately only those outside a cult can see how harmful they can be.
