OPINION:
I never thought the Democrats would have the audacity to use the FBI as a weapon to raid the home of former President Donald Trump (“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis decries ’weaponization’ of federal agencies after Mar-a-Lago raid,” Web, Aug. 9). Then again, they did use false information to attain FISA warrants.
I used to hold the FBI in high regard, considering it trained me when I started in my career in law enforcement many decades ago. But now the agency has disgraced its badges by acting like it is looking for Al Capone and sending 30 agents onto a private estate. I’d like to know what security clearance the agents had to remove highly classified documentation, especially when Mr. Trump had executive privilege.
This feeble act to besmirch the former president before the next election smells like what President Biden did as a vice president under Obama — when he suggested using the Logan Act to go after Gen. Mike Flynn to undermine the Trump administration.
FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland were both informed of the raid, making me think they were in collusion and knew the public would immediately think Trump had done something highly illegal.
What I consider highly illegal is blackmailing another country into firing one of its prosecutors, which Mr. Biden did with Ukraine for daring to investigate his son. Another criminal act was when Hillary Clinton ignored a congressional subpoena and destroyed tens of thousands of emails, some of which were highly classified but kept on an unsecured server.
There have been numerous illegal acts and false accusations against Mr. Trump for supposedly colluding with Russia. These have been brought by low-life, conniving pathological-lying Reps. Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Sen. Chuck Schumer, all of whom have gotten away with their crimes.
Hunter Biden made millions off his daddy’s name when dealing with Russia and China, our enemies. Blind Lady Justice must be crying tears under her mask knowing the injustice being committed by the Democrats. These people must be held accountable.
