Mar-a-Lago-Gate

On June 17, 1972, a night janitor at the Watergate Office Building in Washington, DC noticed that the door to the Democratic National Committee Headquarters was unlocked, and flashlights were on inside. He alerted security and five burglars were subsequently arrested for breaking into the DNC headquarters. The Nixon campaign operation was hoping to find evidence that linked the Democratic National Committee to Cuban-linked campaign funding. After the five perpetrators were arrested, the press and the U.S. Justice Department connected them through a slush fund to the Nixon re-election campaign committee. President Richard Nixon, then used the power of the Presidency and the FBI to try to cover-up the crime.

This event set off one of the biggest scandals in the history of American politics, and eventually took down a President. It was clear in 1974 that a politician or a political party could not use the power entrusted to them by the people against their political opponents. If this behavior was allowed, it would be an end to our country as we know it. Nixon had to be removed from office. We could not have sat idly by and allowed this abuse of power to occur. If we did, our tacit approval would have made us complicit in the crime and the destruction of our country.

Two days ago, on August 8, 2022, Joe Biden’s intelligence agency raided the Mar-a-Lago, Florida home of his number one political opponent, former President Donald J Trump. The FBI agents took control of his entire house, went through every closet and drawer, broke into safes, and removed 15 boxes of documents. Many people on the left are downplaying the seriousness of the raid, claiming the FBI was merely “executing a lawful search warrant”. But that is also how the FISA warrants executed against Carter Page were characterized, and they all turned out to be fraudulent because FBI lawyer Kevin Kleinschmidt falsified information on the warrant applications. So, if the FBI used the fraudulent warrants to spy on Donald Trump, his campaign, his transition and his Presidency in the past, how can we be certain that these search warrants authorizing a raid Trump’s home are legitimate?
