Donald Trump makes HISTORY as the first former president to be raided by the F.B.I.
The F.B.I. raided former President Trump’s home in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday afternoon as part of an ongoing investigation being conducted.
Supposedly, because Trump took at least 15 boxes of official records with him to Florida (including documents clearly marked as classified), the F.B.I. opened an investigation leading to the raid yesterday. The F.B.I. raid of the Mar-A-Lago estate was a court-approved search.
The former President delayed returning 15 boxes of the material requested by officials with the National Archives for many months. Trump previously confirmed that he had agreed to return certain records to the Archives, calling it “an ordinary and routine process.”
The case was referred to the Justice Department by the archives early this year.
“It is NOT clear what prompted the search.”
Some sources are reporting that “it is not clear what prompted the search,” though people familiar with the investigation say it was related to the “possible mishandling” of classified documents.
Several boxes were taken away and no doors were kicked down. The search was finished by late afternoon.
Just ONE “official” violation of the law is enough to disqualify Trump from becoming president in 2024.
Any mishandling could be in violation of a law requiring Trump to preserve his records and phone calls of his official duties as president. If he were to be charged and found guilty of willfully hiding or destroying confidential and classified materials, some legal experts say he could be barred from being president again.
“Political Persecution”
Trump claims political persecution after FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago
Former president Donald Trump is seeking to raise money for his political action committee after the FBI search of his residence.
A text message sent to supporters Tuesday morning announces that “MAR-A-LAGO was raided” and provides a link to donate to Save America, Trump’s PAC.
A landing page seeks to stoke more outrage, offering this message: “It’s time for EVERY PATRIOT to step up and stand against the Left’s reckless WITCH HUNTS and political persecution of President Trump!”

It is evident that America’s justice system has been BROKEN for a long, long time…
At this point in history, it’s normal and encouraged by both sides of the political spectrum to question the “justice” system’s intentions.
People break the law all the time, especially elite government officials.
We all know our justice system is broken. Corrupt, political elites get away with their crimes, unlike average citizens.
From racial disparities to social class disparities (as we have seen with the recent college admissions scandal), it’s been proven time after time that our justice system does not serve its true intention.
On top of this fact, prisons are “for profit,” which encourages the system to further prosecute people simply for money and to fill up prisons that offer zero effort to de-criminalize people with any sort of effective rehabilitation.
As an example, Nancy Pelosi and her husband were recently accused of partaking in insider trading, a felony that could land them up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Greg Price, a senior digital strategist at X Strategies responded saying, “No, it’s just an absolute coincidence that Pelosi’s husband bought shares in a semiconductor company that Nancy is about to give over $50 billion in tax dollars.”
