Certainly, the FBI raid on former President Trump’s home, ostensibly to retrieve documents belonging in the National Archives, has had the immediate effect of unifying support for Trump across a wide spectrum of the country, especially in the Republican Party. One can only wonder as to the desperation betrayed in the calculations and gambles of establishment Washington.
The 12 members of the House Republican Study Committee met with Trump last night for a “great three-hour-long” chat, as reported in the New York Post. They cited Jim Banks from the Committee, reporting that Trump is “very upbeat” and “fired up,” and has “made up his mind” about running in 2024. The 12 posed for a photo with Trump, all of them with their thumbs up. “The Republican Party is bigger and stronger than ever before because of Donald Trump’s leadership,” said Banks, joining with the others in saying that “what happened at Mar-a-Lago unifies Republicans in our outrage.”
U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) spoke out: “The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization,” while, according to an RT account, House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jim Jordan (R-OH) said “that Democrats have used intelligence and law enforcement agencies to go after their political enemies, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warned they would after Trump was elected in 2016.” (Schumer had famously advised Trump that, if he opposed the Russiagate game, the intelligence community had “six ways to Sunday” to destroy him.)
