By now you’ve all heard about the FBI’s raid on President Trump’s Mar a Lago home and office.  If there was any doubt before the raid that the Deep State will stop at nothing to destroy all things Trump, then no doubt remains.  The persecution of Trump employees and supporters has been a display of unrelenting tyranny.  Trump staffers hounded, prosecuted on trumped up charges, and imprisoned.  January 6th protestors, many of whom were no more than trespassers, jailed for more than a year.  New York is prosecuting the Trump Organization and its CEO for minor tax offenses, despite annual IRS and New York State tax audits which revealed no violations.  The New York Attorney General is trying to sue or prosecute Trump family members on the laughable basis that any time a real estate developer overstates the value of his properties that’s a crime.  If so, they’d all be in jail.  Meanwhile, grand juries in Georgia and Arizona are trying to indict Trump for daring to suggest that there was election fraud in those States.  If that’s a crime, then hook up every Democrat in the Congress, because all of them challenged the legality of the 2016 election, and the 2004 election, and the 2000 election.  The January 6th Kangaroo Court, I mean Committee, continues its reign or terror.  Steve Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress, even though he agreed to testify. (I always thought that was rich – contempt of contemptible lying bastards).  Peter Navarro was handcuffed and shackled by the FBI for failing to submit to the January 6th Inquisition.   Trump lawyer Jeffrey Clark was dragged from his home in his underwear and handcuffed by FBI thugs who raided his house looking for highly dangerous paperwork.  In the spring, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden criticized Attorney General Merritt Garland for acting more like a judge than a prosecutor when dealing with President Trump.  So I guess Garland was trying to save his phony baloney job when he authorized the raid on Mar a Lago.  Oh, by the way, CNN says we can’t call it a raid because the FBI doesn’t use that word.  Screw CNN and screw the FBI.  I was a prosecutor for 25 years, every search warrant execution uses “raid teams.”  They’re twisting the language to make what they did in Florida seem like a routine occurrence.  It wasn’t.  Like everything the wrongly named “Justice” Department has done against Donald Trump, it was unnecessary, excessive, and arguably illegal.  Remember that the Justice Department campaign against Trump didn’t start after the 2020 election.  That’s just the latest insult.  The Mar a Lago raid may have been illegal, but there is no doubt that the activities of Justice, the FBI and CIA both before and after the 2016 election were indisputably illegal.  Media whores who lately dismiss as conspiracy theorists Trump supporters’ who fear the raid may have been based on phony evidence, or an attempt to plant evidence,  ignore the fact that the 2016-2017 Trump witch hunt, pardon me, the FBI doesn’t use that term, they prefer “insurance policy,” was entirely based on Hillary’s bought and paid for false Russian dossier, lies from convicted perjurer Michael Cohen, lies in court affidavits by an FBI agent, and FISA warrants containing false information.  They called it Operation Crossfire Hurricane.  Remember that name.  Against that backdrop, excuse us if we continue to suspect that the Justice Department and the FBI are full of shit.  The Mar a Lago search warrant affidavit was sealed.  That means we can’t see what evidence was used to get the warrant.  We’re told that it related to The Classified Documents Act, which isn’t a criminal law, and the Espionage Act, which deals with persons taking classified materials.  The problem with that is that the Espionage Act doesn’t apply to a president, who can declassify any document for any reason.  Trump lawyers say all documents they had were declassified.  The Espionage Act applies to people like Clinton henchman Sandy Berger, who got caught trying to smuggle classified materials out of the National Archives stuffed in his socks. (He got probation).  But the Mar a Lago raid was even worse.  Trump and the National Archives have been working together to make sure anything sensitive was returned to the Archives.  This is routine, and the FBI had been to the Florida storage area, and had suggested the addition of a lock, which was installed, and which the FBI broke during the raid.  Il Duce Obama left the White House with 30 million pages of presidential documents.  The FBI never raided his house to search through Michele’s underwear drawer.  The Mar a Lago warrant was for all presidential papers from 2017 to 2021.  That’s everything.  Trump had declassified the evidence showing Operation Crossfire Hurricane to be a Justice Department coup attempt.  There’s speculation that the raid was an attempt to recover that evidence.  The agents who ran Crossfire Hurricane also handled the raid in Florida.  Just a coincidence?  Leftist attempts to paint the raid as a routine procedure are bald-faced lies.  This is unprecedented.  The fact is that the FBI has treated Donald Trump, not as a president, but as a criminal target since 2015.  Never forget that James Comey went to his first meeting with President Trump to gather information to be used in Crossfire Hurricane, to remove him from office.  They infiltrated the Trump campaign.  They set up and smeared General Flynn, George Pappadopolis and Carter Page.  They persecuted Paul Manafort.  Every step of the way, the FBI has conducted itself, not as the straight-arrow law enforcement agents they pretend to be, but as jack-booted thugs, reminiscent of the 1940’s Fascists.  People don’t like comparisons to the German Gestapo, so I won’t go there.  Other thugs with badges come to mind.  The Japanese had the Kempeitai, the military Secret Police, sometimes compared to George Orwell’s Thought Police.  The Kempeitai “generally performed the Japanese government’s dirty work with enthusiasm and zeal.” (Sound familiar?)  The Kempeitai’s civilian counterpart, the Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsu (Tokko) was charged with carrying out “high policing,” domestic criminal investigations, and control of political groups and ideologies deemed to threaten the public order of the Empire. (Sound familiar?)  The Tokko were known as the Special Higher Police.  Ah, what was the title of James Comey’s book?  That’s right, A Higher Loyalty.  By the Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler of the U.S. version of the Special Higher Police.  Just another coincidence, I’m sure.  The Deep State has declared Donald Trump a threat to the order of its Empire, which it calls a “democracy.” The empire of graft, corruption, insider trading, lies and subversion.  Just listen to them, on both sides.  Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, the Bushes, Karl Rove, et al., all say Trump is the greatest threat to “our democracy.”  What he threatens is not “our democracy,” but their opportunities to steal and wield power.
