ECLECTIC RANT: Drama At Mar-A-Lago
On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) served a court-authorized search warrant on Trump. The focus of the FBI search of Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago seemed to be focused on records Trump admitted failing to return to the Archives after he left office for obstruction of justice, violating the Espionage Act and the removal or destruction of records.
In another display of shameless hypocrisy, Trump called the search “prosecutorial misconduct” and the “weaponization of the Justice System.” This from a former president who while in office created a DOJ headed first by Jeff Sessions, then by political hack, Matthew Whitaker, and then under William Barr, to do his personal bidding for his friends, political allies and wealthy donors. A former president who believed and still believes that he is above the law.
Trump used the search to solicit political donations from his supporters who, I'm sure, will gladly open their wallets.
