Just our next step towards being a Banana Republic. I never liked Trump,( even though I voted for him the second time around), but this is a BAD idea. We will probably see a President refuse to step down in our lifetime. Prosecuting your political opponents is almost alway a bad idea, be it “lock her up” or “Trump is Hitler but worse.” This is bad.
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said. “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.”
The former president added, “They even broke into my safe!“
The raid represents a serious escalation of federal law enforcement focus on Trump, after months of criticism by a number of liberals that Attorney General Merrick Garland was failing to pursue investigations of the former president.
There are multiple active probes at the state and federal level related to Trump, his business and his family. The DOJ reportedly is investigating events leading to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, when a mob of Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol and delayed confirmation of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College win by Congress.

The FBI raid was related to handling of presidential documents, including classified ones, that may have been brought to Mar-a-Lago, three sources tell CNN
I also find it interesting that they wait till now to do this. Obviously this taking place in Mar-a-Lago puts eyes on DeSantis as well. Depending on his response to all of this, it could very well take the steam out of his political sails. If he backs Trump, he is next on the list (I’m sure he is already) and his political career is on the line with likely Federal involvement. If he stands back and does nothing, it may (and likely will) turn a lot of his base against him. I could be wrong, but this seems more calculated then it appears at a glance.
