DOJ should have subpoenaed documents, not raided Trump’s home
https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciar...d-trumps-home/
The decision by the Justice Department to conduct a full-scale morning raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home does not seem justified, based on what we know as of now. If it is true that the basis of the raid was the former president’s alleged removal of classified material from the White House, that would constitute a double standard of justice.
There were no raids, for example, on the homes of Hillary Clinton or former Clinton administration national security adviser Sandy Berger for comparable allegations of mishandling official records in the recent past. Previous violations of the Presidential Records Act typically have been punished by administrative fines, not criminal prosecution. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons for applying a different standard to Trump’s conduct, but those are not readily obvious at this stage.
The more appropriate action would have been for a grand jury to issue a subpoena for any boxes of material that were seized and for Trump’s private safe that was opened. That would have given Trump’s lawyers the opportunity to challenge the subpoena on various grounds — that some of the material was not classified; that previous classified material was declassified by Trump; that other documents may be covered by various privileges, such as executive or lawyer-client.
Instead, the FBI apparently seized everything in view and will sort the documents and other material without a court deciding which ones are appropriately subject to Justice Department seizure.
Thus, it is now up to the Justice Department and the FBI to justify their actions to the American public. They must explain why a different standard appears to have been applied to Democrats such as Clinton and Berger than to Republicans such as Trump and many of his associates.
Sure, sure. Because trump is lily white, and no one in the history of our country has been so honest. He’s actually loved by 95% of the country so there is no way he’s guilty. It has to be a frame up. Just like what he told you before the election. The only way he could lose was if Biden cheated. Right teach?? You believe trump won because he told you so?
ROTFLMFAO!!! Man you are a sucker.

the question is extreme predjudice by the judge with his prior recusal on the Trump/Clinton lawsuit
as well as the writings on social media by the judge..
The National Archives said Friday that documents former President Donald Trump removed from the White House in early 2021 included classified national security information and that it has contacted the Department of Justice about the matter.
The agency "has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes" that Trump stored at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. Fla., the National Archives and Records Administration said in a letter to Rep, Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.
The letter – signed by David S. Ferriero, the national archivist – also said that "because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice."
And at most you send a subpoena, it's not illegal for the President to work from a second home and he can't be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents as he has the plenary power to declassify anything he wants, this was a political power play from an unelected illegitimate authoritarian police state.
