Former President Donald Trump said the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida was politically motivated, and that the Democrats had been known for using the Department of Justice to sling mud at Republicans.
“The RAID was Politics, the Midterm Elections, and 2024. It’s another form of Election CHEATING – That’s all the Radical Left Democrats know what to do. They use the FBI & DOJ to try and dirty up their opponents, but the people of our Country are wise to them like never before. Be careful what you wish for!” Trump wrote in a statement on his Truth Social platform on Aug. 13.
FBI agents seized about 20 boxes of items during a raid of Trump’s resort on Aug. 8, along with documents marked as confidential, classified, and top secret, according to a warrant and a property receipt unsealed by Judge Bruce Reinhart on Aug. 12. However, Trump has said that the documents were “all declassified.”
The warrant said the FBI was investigating the former president for possible violation of three different laws, including one that prohibits gathering, transmitting, or losing information related to national defense under the Espionage Act.
The FBI raid has significantly boosted voter enthusiasm. According to a survey released by the Convention of States Action and The Trafalgar Group, 83.3 percent of Republicans, 71.7 percent of Independents, and 55.2 percent of Democrats said the raid increased their motivation to vote in November.
Among Independent voters, the survey found that 53.9 percent said they believe “Trump’s political enemies” were behind the raid, with 35.3 percent believing it was the “impartial justice system,” and 10.8 percent saying they were not sure.
The poll was conducted for two days ending on Aug. 10 during which 1,095 respondents were polled.
Trump has not made a public announcement about running for president in 2024. However, during a speech at a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona on July 22, he hinted at a possible 2024 run when he said “We may have to do it again.” In July, he told New York Magazine that he has made up his mind about whether to run in 2024 but the “big decision” is when to make the announcement.
Some GOP lawmakers have also suggested the FBI raid was an effort by Democrats to stop Trump from another bid for presidency.
“This is a political hit job, designed to stop President Trump from seeking the White House in 2024,” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) wrote on Twitter on Aug. 9. “It will not stand. We are demanding immediate oversight hearings in Congress.”
The FBI conducted a totaly Unconstitutional and illegal raid on Trump and someone is pulling the strings
Yeah, all other phony motivations aside, election interference is EXACTLY what this is. Trump was impeached when he made curtailing corruption a condition for Ukraine to receive more US aid… corruption idiot Biden and his crack-head son were smack dab in the middle of. Yet, Trump has been under non-stop accusations and investigations (all of which eventually show themselves to be partisan attacks based on lies) even though he is clearly a front-running candidate.
Democrat’s rules never apply to Democrats.
The only thing Trump is trying to save is his own posterior, after his own unlawful actions put it in serious peril.
Cheney has knowingly destroyed her own political career to save the country, to save her party, and to take Trump down. Many other honorable republicans have done the same.
@Greg
He saved the nation once, he can certainly do it again, even though idiot Biden has dug an even deeper hole than failure Obama left.
FBI warns of rising threats against law enforcement
They deserve whatever threats come their way. They did this to themselves.
Becoming the American gestapo has inherent risks when the people recognize the tyrannical nature the FBI has become
Did you come here to argue? Not much evidence of any arguing going on
Try January 6 again, and you deserve volley fire.
(Do you like the tone of your own irresponsible rhetoric?)
@Greg
Law enforcement has been under threat ever since the left has been accusing cops of racism every time a black suspect gets killed by a cop. Dozens have been murdered and dozens more have been railroaded to jail for doing their duty to the public. Let’s add to that the mounted Border Patrol officers that you on the left falsely accused of being racists for “whipping” Haitian (HAITIAN!) illegal immigrants swarming our border. Even though it was instantly shown that the officers were doing no such thing, NO Democrat has retracted their accusations and/or apologized for jumping to such stupid conclusions.
In addition to that, you Democrats have repeatedly deemed Border Patrol agents doing their goddamn best to hold off the flood of well over 2,000,000 illegal immigrants a year to be “Nazis” and “fascists”.
Stop peddling your weak bullshit, intended to do nothing but try to draw attention away from Obergruppenfuhrer Garland’s massive f**k up and illegal raid on Trump’s home.
So are you finally saying it would be acceptable to shoot ANTIFA terrorists when they commit another violent pogrom? Cmon, Greggie… give us an answer this time!!
only the village idiot would support Liz. The whole state of WY despite millions of $ sent to Liz will send her home and hope that she makes her home someplace else. WY is the west and real people who still believe in the code of the West are not voting for her.
@greg
She failed at saving the country, biden continues to destroy it
Not sure what party she tried to save. President Trumps party is doing quite well with an amazing success in primaries
She has also failed at taking down Trump. President Trump is more popular now than at any time previously.
It is good liz is being put out to pasture, she was never much of a congressman
The latest email from Richard Baris:
Nothing irresponsible about my rhetoric. The FBI has become an enemy of the people. Their actions threaten the freedoms and safety of the American people
You will never be able to have any sane conversation with the resident troll.
He does not understand reason or logic, he can only repeat inane nonsense he sees on cable or reads on some leftwing online rag.
Much like a sad retarded parrot.
The FBI has become the enemy of Donald effin’ Trump. That’s all it takes to transform you into an enemy of law enforcement, or anyone else he points his fat little fingers at. Pathetic.
Spoken like a true brown shirted member of the American gestapo. Are you now trying for a promotion from Scharführer to SS-Hauptsturmführer?
The FBI has become the enemy of Donald effin’ Trump. That’s all it takes to transform you into an enemy of law enforcement,
Please remember Democrats, not Trump, attacked police for years and defunded them.
Crime and homicide is up, accordingly.
The FBI is not law-enforcement. They are a standard “secret police” of an illegal regime, however.
That’s how these things usually go.
If you’re going to make up crimes on Trump and invade his home, then you’ll do it to me. You’ll do it to anyone.
That makes you an enemy of my country, and one that will be dealt with accordingly, in time.
@Greg
Oops. You said that out loud. Indeed, the FBI is targeting Trump, at the behest of the Democrats. Trump is an existential threat to the deep state and establishment “you line my pockets and I’ll line yours” DC establishment. That’s why all your false accusation-based attacks have failed, one after another. Because the Democrats offer no beneficial policies for the nation, fail repeatedly and are an absolute disaster for the nation (they gave us high energy prices, low labor participation, skyrocketing inflation, foreign policy disasters, out of control crime and exploding debt and it’s only cost an additional $4 trillion dollars so far!), all they can offer is trying to destroy the opposition with fascist tactics.
If joe had really garnered more votes than in the history of presidential elections, he wouldn’t have to go around raiding the homes of his opponents.
BUT, if joe STOLE the election, he’d have to raid the homes of his opponents.
