No one should be above the law in a democracy.

Donald Trump : It was a beautiful raid. Believe me. A PERFECT raid! You've never seen such a beautiful, bigly raid. An FBI agent came up to me, tears in his eyes and said, "Sir, it's been an honor."

[leighsherval]

Trump is fine if the people HE appointed investigate others... But if the spotlight is turned on him he screams like a baby.

Trump used to be support this kind of aggressive law enforcement when he was running to become president in 2016. Seems like ironic justice that he's on the recieving end of now.

As one who used to consider themselves conservative... The American Right has gone off the deep end which i can never support again! Nothing patriotic about this party!

[nancyscogin]

Everyone is so astonished when they talk about how unprecedented this is. We've never had an ex-president take home classified documents before!

Republicans when Trump was president: The FBI can do whatever it wants.
Republicans when the FBI raid Trump's house: *unholy screeching*

As stated on pg# 950 of Volume 5 of the bipartisan Mueller Report: "These and other revelations in the report suffice to establish that Donald Trump poses a counterintelligence threat to the United States..."

Should raid Hunter, probably find more stuff

[pikachu]

Had the institutions in India been such independent, powerful and value driven. Modi would've had the same fate as Trump.

[thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal]

Why he isn't in jail already is the question.

[JeffAPierson]

The level of corruption at the DOJ and the FBI's ham fisted tactics would make even Hoover cringe!

[TREON.is.Bathit.Crazy.U.S.G]

Trumpers: "Back The Blue" Also Trumpers: unless we're attacking the FBI or our Capital Bldg.

Bad boys bad boys...wacha gon this little jingle for a change

[bobdollar]

Only criminals have to be preoccupied with Law Enforcement. Law Abiding People does not have to worry about Law Enforcement.

[thescotchirishman]

He is a pathetic attempt at a leader. He will keep losing and as an American, I will never sit back and allow Trump do what he did again.

[visoroverwatch]

Trump would rather see the Earth Implode than admit he's wrong.

[TREON.is.Bathit.Crazy.U.S.G]

Can’t wait to Fox News congratulate him and say he was treated very unfairly for what happens to him.

[Andrew-obij]

Well done to the doj for investigating potential security leaks

[urbansenicar]

Well, as Ukraine is the model of democracy now, these thing are to be expected.
