Disgraced ex-President Donald Trump’s abortive Coup d’etat on January 6, 2021 was one of the most radical actions in American history.

The wheels of Justice grind slowly and exceedingly fine. Trump’s criminal violation of the American Constitution in trying to overturn the will of the American voters deserves the harshest Judicial scrutiny.
This Fascist (and that is what he is) needs to be dragged into Federal Court and made to answer for his crimes. He is a Clear and Present Danger.

Former US PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ said on MondayĀ theĀ FBIĀ conductedĀ a surprise raid at hisĀ Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Monday’s raid comes after the USĀ National Archives and Records Administration in February notified Congress that it had reclaimed aroundĀ 15 boxes of White House documents from Mar-a-Lago, some of which contained classified materials.

Donald Trump’s America
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump also saidĀ that FBI agents had forcedĀ open a safe as part of the raid.
In recent months, Trump has beenĀ giving strong hints overĀ another bid for president. Meanwhile, the US Justice Department has beenĀ investigating allegations that classified records were taken to Mar-a-Lago after his presidency.

A federal law called the US Presidential Records Act requires the preservation of memos, letters, notes, emails, faxes and other written communications related to a president’s official duties.

And Monday’s raid appeared to concern boxes of documents that Trump brought with him from the White House to his luxuryĀ Florida home, theĀ New York TimesĀ reported, citing two unnamed people familiar with the probe.
And separately, investigations in the January 6 siege of the US Capitol have been intensifying.
The FBI did not respond to requests for information, and it was unclear whether the reported raid was connected to either investigation.

Goodbye and good riddance
