Lots of rumours floating around. Some even saying that Trump laid a trap. Who knows? However, I feel that the raid was a Crossing the Rubicon moment for America. The Dems and the DS are pure evil and will do anything to anyone to keep power in Nov and in 2024. And there is virtually no opposition. Witness the overwhelming outrage from the GOP at this Gestapo like incident? Yeah, me neither.

For Andy’s theory to be true, Garland would have to have in effect obtained a “general warrant,” which are prohibited by Amendment IV.

IANAL, but for the lawyers in the group, wouldn’t the exclusionary rule mean that even if Wray’s thugs found a signed, notarized letter at Mar-A-Lago saying, “I know I lost but plan to start a riot, signed Donald J Trump,” they’d have to squash it because it wasn’t part of the search warrant application?

If your search includes Melania's entire wardrobe based on thinking the Donald would "stash" something there then it must be something pretty specific. Something that could possibly blend into a wardrobe closet / clothing. Kinda creepy but definitely not National Archives related.

The raid is because every other attempt to Get Trump has not worked.

Current Attempts:

- Jan 6 committee

- Trump irs tax returns

- Censoring / excommunicating from social media

- NY AG investigation

- GA Investigation

And his candidates keep on winning primaries.

Remember Merrick Garland could've been a Supreme Court Justice! Scary thought.

McCarthy is a believer that Big Government is good and does no harm while pinching his nose at the mere sight of an outsider like DJT.

I speculate that Trump has some FBI files, created long before he ran for President, proving that the FBI was investigating him for colluding with Russian Intelligences since 2012. Such documents would prove that FBI Director James Comey lied to Trump and also to the public when Comey denied the existence of such an investigation.

I intend to write a blog article about my speculation.

In the meantime, I point out a blog article that I published on June 17, speculating that Trump decided to fire Comey in early May 2017 because Trump had received such documents secretly from an FBI official.

Was President Trump Told About the FBI Investigation of Him?

Let me posit something else. Say Biden pardons Trump before charges are brought. Would moderate unaligned voters suddenly say that Biden is reasonable? That may be his only hope, and Trump can't go to court to prove the entire raid was a lie from the gitgo. Just a thought.

Good to see some dispassionate analysis from McCarthy. He's a certified NeverTrumper.

Robert Barnes suggests that they actually ARE looking for documents in Trump’s possession, but that these are documents that Trump kept as insurance against Deep State malfeasance. In other words, he’s got dirt on all the right people and institutions and they are scared witless he will deploy it.

Please understand I have no inside information and my powers of analysis are probably inferior to that of most of you, but I want to propose another idea for your consideration. I have written screenplays , so you may take this as in that light.

In the days after the 2020 election many things came up on the internet, and someone even suggested that Trump was preparing the biggest 'tiger trap' in history. There were indications that American super-spies working for him had gathered all the real-time data on what went on the night of the election. Does anyone remember crazy stories about Frankfurt and an armed confrontation?

When a company, for example, Enron, goes bust first minor infractions are done to buy time until things get better. Other illegalities follow, until major crimes are committed if only to cover up previous measures taken. In for a penny, in for a pound. Imagine Trump having a dossier, solid evidence that could indict very powerful people. (I've heard Giuliani has something similar. What ever happened as a follow-up to the raid they pulled on him?). Apparently the FBI seized everything and anything, which would include things not specific to the charges in the warrant. A few documents that shouldn't be in his possession wouldn't justify such a scandalous raid, and as you mention creating legal impediments to prevent him from having any future wouldn't work. Any incriminating evidence that might exist would surely be in multiple copies, and not only on one site, but having the information would be useful. In any case the escalation this causes is unimportant, because this has become a fight to the death.

Any confrontation would of course shake Washington to its very foundations. The alternative is we are no longer a country of, by and for the people. Are the Ruling Class onfident they can enforce their will?
