If he thought he could win, I can see him doing that. But if he's ineligible to run for office, he couldn't win even with a write-in. Can I see him shitting all over whoever does get the nomination in that scenario? Absolutely - unless whoever clinches the nomination does so on the premise of pardoning Trump when elected.
The FBI raid people all the time and if I was, say, peddling child pr0n or something, they'd raid me too. Wtf are these trying to say?
They should probably be angry at the jackass who promised to jail his political opponent then did nothing.
And they unironically view him as the second coming of Christ. The Evangelical voting bloc in this country is both braindead and dangerous.
I was about to say "do they realize Trump is NOT in fact president anymore?" but then I realized, oh yeah, they keep saying the election results aren't legitimate so I guess they're at least being consistent with who they think the real pres is.
That they'll randomly raid Republicans for being a Republican. Projection again.
Right, but not until the next election cycle. Assuming that he could be barred from running and a pardon could in fact undo that, of course.
The FBI raided someone I know and turned his entire life upside down. Several women were murdered over a period of years and they looked at timing and profiles. My friend was in town at the time of each murder and was single, actually living with his mom to care for her.
They demolished his life and business over those circumstances and found nothing. My friend traveled there a few times for hot air balloon events. Yeah he was there at the time of the murders (in the city), but he was there a bunch of other times when nothing happened.
This is just what they do. And they don't leave and bless you as innocent. They don't apologize. You just have to sort through the carnage or move.
Bottom line, the FBI will still treat powerful people differently. They won't raid a Trump on circumstantial evidence.
Obama was campaigning in Florida in 2018 and, when heckled, said, "You ever notice be people who won after the ones who are angry all the time?"
I've never seen such angry winners, and we're not giving them what they want just to hope they become neutral, never mind happy.

The White house playing this like this is that 8-D whatever chess they talk about. Pretty much putting a firewall up between them and the DOJ actions. Too funny how they are trying to get them to say anything about it.
Some possible insight as to what changed between Trump's team and the DoJ/FBI between the June meeting and yesterday's events:

Hello all,
I come bearing important educational materials: live-action video demonstrating a proper media/laymen response to the performed anger of the right:

Hopefully by the 2028 cycle he'll no longer be a part of the equation.
These are the strong words of wanna-be fascists who are simultaneously shitting their pants.
I assume that when she says "worse" she means Nixon.
Also, that call to action there. She should just go ahead and say what she really means.
Gotcha, that helps. Agreed that this started post Nixon with Roger Ailes and Fox News. I do believe that Trump made things much, much worse and has made many on the right and andd alt-right much bolder. No, the problem won't go away if Trump is behind bars, the division has been growing for quite a while. There has been a marked drop in critical thinking and that leads directly to people believing bullshit and other conspiracies.

In 2011, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being charged with an impressive 18 counts of corruption — including a plot to sell off the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama when he was elected president. The lone Democrat on the list, he wanted to make this a bipartisan affair, noting that the raid marked a "tragic day for ALL Americans." His sentenced was commuted by Trump in February 2020.

Bring it. We'll do what should have been done after the Civil War.
the party of law and order until it happens to them, then they act like the law enforcement are terrorists.
They're probably scared shitless of the republican base. Scared that they'll get jan 6th'd for disloyalty or scared that they wont have the same enthusiasm to show up to the polls for them. Cant spend decades whipping people up into a frenzy and expect them to turn that shit off at the flip of a switch. The movement which they figureheaded Trump has way too much momentum to stop.
This is so fucking great because she's so disgusted by this cringey meme.
And we've had to deal with 6 years of these fucking memes from her people. Well not her people. I mean Republicans.
Yes, if you have evidence of a crime locked in a safe at your house, the FBI can go get it.
Nah, don't give a shit. Fuck 'em. They all need to be put in their place, as they are the new "South" and we are the new "North". Except, this time we need to ensure they can never fuck around like this ever again. As long as we are following real evidence and getting them on real crimes, I'm all for it.
It's not the "South". There are significant areas in the "North" that are just as MAGA as the "South".
The actual division is "urban" vs "rural".
I don't get it. Who do they think they're going to be fighting in this imaginary war?
I can't get over the fact that they think this is a revelation of some sort.
She has it backwards. If the FBI can raid normal citizens then they can raid the former president too.
Wow. The FBI already HAS gone after ordinary citizens who were never POTUS or anywhere remotely close. What a stupid talking point…
I'm just picturing a bunch of Trumpers in tactical gear standing alone in a field with no one to fight looking like sad LARPers.
Its the result of an entire lifetime of living with zero repercussions of your actions.
These Republican men are the worst. Pretending to be victims yet cheered for killing Roe when half the population lost their productive/health rights.
"Oh so tragic the Predident's home was raided. Oh women losing rights? DEAL WITH IT! Cry me a river."
Fuck them.
It's truly nonsensical. Like.. what is the FBI's purpose if not to federally investigate..?
Don't start no shit there won't be no shit.
I love how annoyed she sounds even asking. "Uugghh. Republicans are saying…uugghh…"
Criminal whining when FBI raids their house: "It's because of my politics!"
The voice of Universal TRUTH: "It's because you're a criminal!"
