It was reported on NPR that the date of the raid coincided with the day Nixon left the WH, Aug. 8th.

That's my fear too...that there will be retribution.

I will welcome it. When they, or we, do protests and such we are exposed to identification. That's really only a problem, in SoA, for those getting violent. I like it when they get identified and scrutinized.

FBI took away 15 boxes so I'm presuming this was about the stolen documents for archiving.

@rainmanjr I’m not a lawyer but from what I understand each document can be charged as an additional offense. 15 boxes could be a lot of charges.

@Garban DoJ might have determined that they should charge him with something before October (when he plans to announce). IDT Garland is worried about arresting a candidate but why open an avenue for contest if not necessary to stop 45 from running? This is just my guess, of course.

@Organist1 They already started when the formed a motorcade in front on tRumps residence.

@rainmanjr Already the repugs are encouraging him to announce his candidacy very soon, so (they think) he will be protected, or at least it will muddy the waters.

@Organist1 So maybe we'll have another example of the mindless conservative's way of dealing with disagreements. I say bring it on.

@Organist1 I think he'd be far easier to run against than his Floridian mini-me so would be inclined to roll the dice. A conviction would be better for law, however, so we might not get that far.
