The FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s home remains a hot topic of conversation on social media and the airwaves. The Bureau hasn’t yet given any additional details and is unlikely to soon. But critics from the right and left have pointed out that the agency’s actions are coming off as politically motivated, and there are plenty of reasons why so many are suspicious.
The FBI, for one, has shown a level of bias in its targeting of high-profile people. Did you see the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Even though she did not bother to turn over the emails on her private server, the Bureau didn’t even come close to raiding her home. James Comey, former FBI Director, publicly exonerated her just before the 2016 elections.
Clinton isn’t the only one who enjoys the privilege of engaging in corrupt activity without having to fear consequences. Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, has engaged in all kinds of shady conduct. Despite attempts on the part of social media and the activist press to suppress the story initially, Hunter’s laptop has still seen much daylight. Reports now suggest that Hunter’s federal probe into business activity is at an impasse. Hunter may not face the consequences he deserves, even if he is found guilty of a crime.
There is another fact: The Bureau has been pursuing Trump since 2016. Not only did they falsify a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page, a member of the former president’s campaign team, they even participated in perpetuating the Russia collusion hoax to deceptively besmirch Trump. Even though agents knew Christopher Steele’s dossier had been largely debunked, they still used it to obtain the warrant used to spy on Page.
Worse, former FBI agents Lisa Page (and Peter Strzok) were found to be using their positions against Trump. The attack on the ex-chief executive was only one example of many that agents could have been up to.
The FBI raid is the final step. This is unusual for high-ranking officials who are holding onto classified documents which should be handed to the National Archive. Trump’s team was already in conversations with the government to hand over the documents. But even if this wasn’t the case, this alleged offense does not rise to the level of carrying out a predawn raid on a former president’s residence.
To those suspicious of the Bureau, this appears to be a situation in which the agency used the documents as a pretext for invading Trump’s home so they could find evidence of other alleged offenses that could be used against him. There is a possibility they might be trying to locate something that may have been related to Jan. 6, or perhaps a piece of evidence about another matter of which we don’t yet know. The objective is to get an indictment on any crime they can find – or concoct.
It is now clear that the FBI and Justice Department can’t be trusted. If they had this same energy with Hunter and Clinton and hadn’t tried to derail Trump’s presidency in the past, they would have at least a modicum of credibility. But the reality is that this seems to be that to which we have already become accustomed: Another politically-motivated hit job on Trump.
