They raided Trump's wife's underwear drawer too so Trump is a victim of this FBI overreach as well.

Its not really overreach if they get a warrant and find the things they were looking for.

  • The photos you saw after the Mar-a-Lago raid of top-secret folders and classified files were fabricated. To look worse than they were.

    You can be mad at the FBI for raiding a journalist (although we don’t have all the details and maybe there is some context you don’t know)… but be consistent.

    The FBI staged that photo by combing through boxes. The TOP SECRET folders they showed were empty and they acknowledged that. This was a key component to Trump’s defense and the FBI conceded it.

    • Are you referring to the defense’s assertion that even though great care was taken by the FBI to ensure that no individual file would move from one box to another, the ordering within an individual box was not preserved and constituted a “spoilation” of the evidence?

      Or are you referring to something else that I’m not yet aware of?

      Edit with an article link, to set a standard for the quality of discourse: https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/4648830-mar-a-l...

    • The difference here is that the journalist got passed information by people who were committing the same crime Trump did. Trump directly committed his crime. The two are not equal.

      Furthermore, Trump is no journalist, nor did he steal the secret files for journalistic purposes.
