The Spin
The FBI's unconstitutional raid of the former president's residence seemed unfairly violent on the surface. This filing shows far the Biden administration and the Democratic Party were willing to go to try to derail Trump's return to the White House. Now it's more difficult to deny this is a political witch hunt.
Unsurprisingly, Trump and his campaign are blowing the wording in this filing out of proportion to deceive the public and play the victim. The FBI has already demonstrated it conducted its search in adherence with standard DOJ protocols. But Trump is trying to play up his victim status in order to drum up more fundraising.
