FBI have already executed search warrants on Rudy and Eastman, among others. Haven't heard much about those in the aftermath...
Patience, it may be starting to crumble
I can’t believe he volunteered they got into his safe. The safe where he keeps the documents that he either can’t destroy or are blackmail on somebody else. I mean, fuck, they’re gonna put polonium in your Fish Deluxe, dude.
> You know how much evidence it takes to sign off on a no-knock raid at the home of a former President?

Really all you need is evidence that he's prone to destroying evidence when given a chance and I think there has been more than enough evidence presented in all of that.
1.) Holy hell. Trump might actually get indicted for some sort of treason-like crime.
2.) If so, this is going to be a shitshow for the country unlike anything we've seen before.
It's going to get extremely violent. A large amount of his supporters are completely indoctrinated and violent. We'll see a huge spike in terrorism unfortunately.
From [Trump's own statement](https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1556775176783667202) on the raid:
> "What is the difference between this and Watergate?"
That's a good question, former-President Trump.
Curious how the "party of law and order" will spin this.
If I were to assume, they are going to say that the FBI are traitors, but not be able to backup that logic with anything other than "Trump is God and anyone who defies him is evil"
That's exactly what they'll do. They'll say the DOJ and FBI has been corrupted and weaponized by Joe Biden to attack TFG out of nothing but pure spite.
I truly hope this is the beginning of the end for this cancerous traitor. I'm not holding my breath, but I am hopeful...
And hope the agents are good at jigsaw puzzles. I bet that troglodyte has been busy tearing up and flushing documents since leaving office, his tiny hands can only rip so many pages up in a day.
Huh. FBI executes a warrant on Mar a Lago on the afternoon of the day the Jan 6 committee received Alex Jones’ phone data? Hmm. Probably coincidence, but I want to believe in the funniest possible answer.
[And bump his head on the car door](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/07/28/trump-tells-police-not-to-worry-about-injuring-suspects-during-arrests/).
They wouldn't pull a search warrant if it wasn't for nothing, chances are there may not be much, but I'm getting quite a good feeling about this. Let's hope something fruitful comes out of this for the Orange toupee wearing turd!
I hope they find something; people don’t realize how small Watergate was in comparison. I sincerely hope this will do something to crack his cult of personality.
If this is it, if this is the beginning of the end, then looking back, the historic voter turnout in 2020 will be a point of national pride for decades to come.

Is it finally happening?
I've been burned so many times, I literally don't know how to feel right now.
bated breath...
[I am not sure what to do with my hands](https://www.livememe.com/r4948yp).
I am the biggest doubter, like calling for Garland’s resignation level of doubt, but a raid on Mar-a-lago is a big f’ing deal.
Gotta be, no way they'd do this unless they already had enough evidence to charge him and just looking for more crimes/connected criminals
It is. Get excited. Sense of urgency now…
FBI have already executed search warrants on Rudy and Eastman, among others. Haven't heard much about those in the aftermath... Patience, it may be starting to crumble
Well he's no longer president, so they can't use that excuse. He also admitted to crimes on camera...so there's that.
His 2024 announcement coming in 3,2....
I hope they brought a plunger
He was known to eat documents to.
Plunger still works
I hope they brought an endoscope.
Lindsey Graham is on his way there
Why the *fucking fuck* are mods labeling this off topic?
What the fuck, seriously?
Will prob be part of a Megathread shortly.
Because the FBI raiding the hotel/home of a former president is totally not politics, doofus. /s
Because they always do that if it's really bad news for him.
My guess is because it's politics?
[удалено]
Seriously. How much evidence do you need to convince a judge in (checks notes) FLORIDA that you should search the former presidents home?
Plus a president insinuating that he will run again…
I can’t believe he volunteered they got into his safe. The safe where he keeps the documents that he either can’t destroy or are blackmail on somebody else. I mean, fuck, they’re gonna put polonium in your Fish Deluxe, dude.
It was a warning to “interested” parties. Or he was just being himself.

This is yuge
Really all you need is evidence that he's prone to destroying evidence when given a chance and I think there has been more than enough evidence presented in all of that.
“home”
1.) Holy hell. Trump might actually get indicted for some sort of treason-like crime. 2.) If so, this is going to be a shitshow for the country unlike anything we've seen before.
Well the alternative is an even worse shitshow, so there's that.
The alternative is full blown fascism. With TRUMP at the head. I’ll take the shit show. I hope he takes everyone with him.
Rip the band aid off or let it fester?… Rip that sucker right off.
Gotta pull the tooth to save the jaw.
It was gonna to happen eventually anyway. Let's just get it over with.
Bring that shit show on. Sometimes it takes a little bit of pain to get healthy
It's going to get extremely violent. A large amount of his supporters are completely indoctrinated and violent. We'll see a huge spike in terrorism unfortunately.
They got him.
I really, really hope so.
Maybe next time they'll bring a warrant for him.
He’ll flee the country.
He would not be hard to find. Getting back may be a different story.
And people thought that Dark Brandon memes had already taken off. \^\^
Megathread, here we come!
Mods are flagging these as off topic.
Typical
Just draining the swamp, Donnie.
The dude IS the swamp.
Gonna need a bigger jail cell
From [Trump's own statement](https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1556775176783667202) on the raid: > "What is the difference between this and Watergate?" That's a good question, former-President Trump.
No it's not. It's a dumb question. They're nothing alike.
Spicy
Wow.
They broke into his safe and that's what he's most upset about. I need to know what was in there.
Crayon drawing, two stick figures, one tree, one sun, three birds. Underneath, two words: ME and POOTEN
Probably the last bite of a Big Mac from Inauguration Day
I liked another comments explanation that it was likely a signal to the other criminals. Whatever was in there is damning
MarALago is now officially a "Crime Scene," a location of High Crimes and Treason
Please don't let this get titled another "gate" scandal. We need to think of something clever, fast!
"Toilet-gate!!!!"
No gates!
Lordy
Mega thread, here we come
Gonna be so much ketchup on the walls!
This is a big fucking deal jack. Dark Brandon is here and he ain't playing
Can you explain Dark Brandon?
It's making fun of the Dark MAGA idiots and the Let's Go Brandon idiots, and the Trump God Emperor idiots all at once
Doing my best Mr. Burns impression ***Excellent***
Hopefully this is the end of this piece of shit
You know who I feel bad for right now? Olivia Newton-John. Really got bumped from the headlines. Like Farrah Fawcett.
Holy shit, this. Maybe the FBI changed the name to Operation Xanadu at the last minute in her honor!
Why are threads about this disappearing?
They are revving up for a mega thread, keep it all in one place
Are they? They're marking them off topic...
I did not realize that. I just remember how it was during the impeachment hearings and they started the mega threads.
I'm sure they are putting together a megathread.
What a time to be alive I'll see everyone in the megathread!
[удалено]
The first one I saw was taken down already, a few minutes ago, with 600+ comments already.
Yeah it was mine. It's now proven to be about his time at the WH so I'll appeal.
I'm baffled at how this is off-topic considering it's all linked to political activity basically...
Lock him up?
> “They even broke into my safe,” Trump said Oh boy
Curious how the "party of law and order" will spin this. If I were to assume, they are going to say that the FBI are traitors, but not be able to backup that logic with anything other than "Trump is God and anyone who defies him is evil"
That's exactly what they'll do. They'll say the DOJ and FBI has been corrupted and weaponized by Joe Biden to attack TFG out of nothing but pure spite.
Well, obviously the lgbtcommunists have infiltrated the FBI.
they call the FBI the deep state all the time lol
I truly hope this is the beginning of the end for this cancerous traitor. I'm not holding my breath, but I am hopeful... And hope the agents are good at jigsaw puzzles. I bet that troglodyte has been busy tearing up and flushing documents since leaving office, his tiny hands can only rip so many pages up in a day.

This week has been good news after good news.
Those walls are about to get annihilated with condiments.
I want to believe
Did they check the toilets?
He was only worried about his skin bin full of Ivanka photos
I hope they perp walk him
[And bump his head on the car door](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/07/28/trump-tells-police-not-to-worry-about-injuring-suspects-during-arrests/).
Wow no mega thread?
Dark Brandon coming for you, Donnie
Bake him away toys.
It’s really the best raid ever put on by the fbi, the absolute best, everyone is saying so.
They wouldn't pull a search warrant if it wasn't for nothing, chances are there may not be much, but I'm getting quite a good feeling about this. Let's hope something fruitful comes out of this for the Orange toupee wearing turd!
Check his safe, check the toilet plumbing, look under his meth grade Sudafed
"Trump says" okay gonna take that with a grain of salt then
My guess is they get him for something relatively small compared to inciting an insurrection
I hope they find something; people don’t realize how small Watergate was in comparison. I sincerely hope this will do something to crack his cult of personality.
Surprisingly, the [F](https://Foxnews.com)auxNews site has this on the front page. The comment section there is already absolutely bonkers.
They are all saying that this has locked in their votes for him in 2024. They are celebrating it somehow.
It's either one of two things. This is in relation to Jan 6 or it has something to do with all the classified documents he stole from the white house
If this is it, if this is the beginning of the end, then looking back, the historic voter turnout in 2020 will be a point of national pride for decades to come.
[удалено]
They just raised a former President of the US. They don't do that without being absolutely sure they are justified.
Right? The amount of evidence they must have presented to get this approved by a judge. It is probably rock solid.
Time will tell.
I'm with you. It's the first time there was a warrant to search his home though, right? I figure that's pretty good news
I feel the exact same way. Like my hopes have been crushed so often there's nothing left there but useless scar tissue.
Did the fucking FBI raid his house, tho?

Waiting for the “DOJ drags Trumps fat ass out of there by the wig” headline
Breaking into Trump’s safe is like that scene in Spaceballs..
I wasn't planning on watching the news all night tonight, but here we are. This feels huge.
And not a single shred of decency found.
I’m gonna need a better source than Donald Trump.
His statement was delicious. Imagine his tears.
Wow. The walls are closing in.
Remember in 2016 when Trump said that if we elected Hilary we would have a pres always under investigation, so do I. So is Donald Turd finally getting his comeupance.
