The FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate has further divided the country, with the Left looking for an indictment and the Right for a 2024 reelection. Adding fuel to the fire, just last week New York State Attorney General Letitia James conducted a deposition of Trump related to his organization’s real estate holdings, during which he invoked the fifth amendment over 500 times. Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues there is a regime persecuting the former president that will not stop until he is prosecuted:
It wasn’t enough for The Regime to concoct claims of treasonous Russian collusion to spy on candidate Trump, then use a series of “investigations” to destabilize his administration and cover-up The Regime’s corruption.
It wasn’t enough for The Regime to stage not one, but two, asinine impeachments, while its bureaucrats subverted and sabotaged President Trump—halting a genuine peaceful transfer of power, and depriving us all of four full years from which we all would have more richly benefited.
It wasn’t enough for The Regime to do everything in its power to “fortify” the 2020 election against President Trump, just as it won’t be enough for The Regime to disqualify him from the 2024 ballot—in defense of “democracy” of course.
The Regime wants President Donald J. Trump arrested, shackled, and left to rot in prison for the rest of his life. That is what the Mar-a-Lago raid is all about. It far transcends the midterm elections, or the 2024 horse race. It is the latest, but the most dramatic, earth-shattering, and unprecedented attack in a string of them, led by a vengeful and bloodthirsty Ruling Class whose Deep State serves as the tip of the spear.
This raid was conducted by an agency that considers itself so untouchable that its leader deemed it acceptable to cut short a Senate oversight hearing days before the raid was set to happen, to jet off to a mountain retreat.
That’s how powerful the Deep State believes itself to be, and the contempt for which it holds not just Congress, but you, the people Congress is supposed to represent.
This raid is the first in a series of events that I believe will culminate in the attempted prosecution of Trump.
