It was certainly shocking news to hear on Monday that the FBI was raiding Mar-a-Lago. There was more news about what might be behind it, relating to classified material that Trump might have but if that’s the case, it makes it even more ridiculous as there would be other ways to proceed. It seemed like a fishing expedition to see what they could grab.

But perhaps nowhere could it be more shocking or more upsetting than to the Trump family who have been pursued, for so long by the Democrats, with every political effort they have thrown at them.

Lara Trump — Trump’s daughter-in-law and Eric Trump’s wife — was on Fox News. She gave some of the family’s reactions since she had been talking with the former president about what had just happened. She said that this was not just about Trump. But if they could even go to this length against the former president of the United States of America, what stops them from going after you?

She made it clear she thought it was an attempt to guard against him running again in 2024, weaponizing the justice system against him. She also pointed out that the family had been cooperating with the FBI.

Eric Trump also provided some further information. His father had said that they even broke into his safe. But Eric told Fox’s Brian Kilmeade there had been nothing in the safe, so they came away with nothing there.

JUST spoke to @erictrump, nothing in the safe, FBI agents 30 approx raided on behalf of nation archives …This is outrageous- has to have come from @POTUS and/or someone in White House.

Eric said this was outrageous, with 30 agents at the house, and he said he believed it had to come from Joe Biden.

More from @EricTrump when Pres Trump lawyers scrambled to raid she was told to stand in corner and demanded they shut security cameras…they didn’t…my view: sounds like how they handled Manafort, Navarro, & Roger Stone…FBI out of control..White House lost their minds

There’s no other way to say it but that they are right. The Democrats have been trying to get Trump since before he was elected — to knock him out with false Russia collusion allegations, then the efforts to impeach him on ridiculous charges. Now, with Joe Biden in horrible shape, and the Democrats about to lose horrifically in the midterms, they’re after him again in the hopes they can knock him out in some way in 2024.

But if anything, it’s only going to charge up Republicans, even more, to circle the wagons and realize there is no choice, everyone has to get out and throw the Democrats out of office in November if we are ever to stop this kind of corruption. We are not a banana republic but they are doing all they can to make us into one in their naked effort to hold onto power.
