Former President Donald Trump signaled that he intends to capitalize on the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid – sharing an op-ed that predicting Republicans might exact vengeance by using law enforcement to go after Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Trump shared without comment an op-ed by loyalist and conservative columnist Kimberly Strassel in the Wall Street Journal, whose work he has frequently promoted in the past.
The writer describes a 'boomerang history of unleashed governmental powers,' observing that Republicans used a post-watergate independent counsel statute to go after President Bill Clinton in a warning to the party that currently has unified control of government.
In an email from his Save America PAC, Trump tweeted the article's headline: 'The Payback for Mar-a-Lago Will Be Brutal.'
She posits that the Trump probe, which she brands as political and breaking norms on 'sensitive' investigations close to an election, could come back at Democrats if Republicans take charge.
'Mr. Garland's raid has made even the highest political figures fair prosecutorial game, and the media's new standard is that the department can't be questioned as it goes about ensuring 'no one is above the law,'' she writes about AG Merrick Garland.
'Let's see how that holds when a future Republican Justice Department starts raiding the homes of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, James Comey, and John Brennan,' she writes, referencing Obama's former attorney general, the FBI director Trump fired, and former CIA director who has gone after Trump on Twitter.

Disbanded.
Not defunded
FBI
I wish he would start practicing tactical secrecy.
Guess he might want to declare his candidacy then
Didn’t Trump says some things about Hillary that never came to fruition?
Me too
Defund, then disband.
Bar EVERY current FBI employee from service anywhere in the US government.
That’s what all the Republicans do who don’t win and don’t keep their promises when they do win.
He is only one who is qualified as president, regardless
He had to rely on Rip Van Sessions as his Attorney General...
Stop falling in their tarpit. Opinion hit piece.
Several thousand LIbs are reading Trumps statements, then proceeding to tear their purple and green hair out!
Right, he needs to learn when to shut the hell up.

I can understand the anger from him. Easy for Freepers to play hypocrite and pretend they dont project what they’re gonna do to their enemies.
Some BLM PANTIFA hits you over the head with a baseball bat, you actually think at the point, you keep you mouth shut? Seriously..
Are these Trumps Words or Writer of Article?
God gave everybody 2 ears and one mouth.
Use them in that proportion.
He needs an AG who shares his vision of the Deep State and willing to act. The two he had were useless.
“That’s what all the Republicans do who don’t win and don’t keep their promises when they do win.”
They just count their money and wait for how many votes have to peel off to barely pass Democrat bills.
