Why the Raid on Trump’s Home?
A lot of people have been speculating as to the purpose of the FBI raid of the Mar-a-Lago estate. The government leaked reasons for the raid, such as possessing documents that were property of the National Archives. no, really they were the nuclear codes, and, no really-really, possessing documents for espionage on behalf of foreign powers. But Trump was suing people based on the fraudulent and destructive Russia collusion narrative. He needed these documents as proof of the nefarious doings and dealing of a lot of people:

Funny that. The closely tailored warrant was written to search for “Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021.” In other words, every single document (as well as declassified documents that bore the old classification imprint), every correspondence, photo, napkin, menu — everything — produced during the entire four years of Trump’s term.
This would include all the concrete evidence including declassified documents, texts, phone messages, recordings, photographs, memos, and notes, created by the US government in the process of perpetrating the so-called Russia hoax, that Trump possessed to prove his case in his law suit above.

Years ago, I will never forget Rush Limbaugh reading a whole article by Norman Orenstein and some other guy. It made absolutely no sense. lol I mean isn’t that guy an academic or something?
What little I’ve heard him talk he just babbles to make excuses for more non-public goods. That’s basically the left in a nutshell.
Is there a reason that Trump himself wouldn’t be making this point loudly and clearly?
Lawyers?
Thank you. I was being sardonic since that appeared to be the mode you selected. Also, it provides a quick way to change course if one has misread the tone. How did I really mean that?
de Santis? Get real, they will turn him or destroy him also. If they can do this to a POTUS a Governor is nothing.
Some of the stuff may be used in trials against Trump but I suspect much of it is for opposition research for 2024.
