1. The Trump raid was a preemptive move to dilute Biden’s document fiasco, and a way to not prosecute either one.
I don't think so. The raid on Mar-a-Lago was on August 8, 2022. If we are to believe the reporting on Biden's documents, they were "found" on November 2, 2022. I don't think the two are connected. My reasoning is found in other answers below.
2. The FBI raided Trump to find other documents not classified. It was a way to slow him down and an effort to find something to put him in jail.
No on the first point, yes on the second point. I don't think they foresaw President Trump pushing for a Special Master, which actually slowed down the FBI. They did take his passport for awhile, but had to give it back. Maybe they were looking for tax filings, maybe not, but the House got those anyway.
3. Trump’s raid was a democrat talking point for supporters before this past midterm election, and a diversion to seal the steal in many elections across the country.
Perhaps, but I think it backfired on them. It convinced many Americans that the FBI and Merrick Garland are not operating in the interests of Americans, but have become politicized out-of-control bureaucracies weaponized by the Democrats against their enemies.
4. The Trump raid was a way to set precedent and a way for democrats to get rid of politicians they don’t like.
I'm not sure. Yes, the DoJ has been raiding political people before (Roger Stone, James O'Keefe, Henry Cuellar, James Gordon Meek, Mark Houck, Jeffrey Clark, and more) so the Mar-a-Lago raid was not precedent-setting in that sense. It was precedent for raiding the home of a former President, which definitely upped the ante on what's proper procedure or not.
5. The Biden documents were planted to knock Biden out and install someone else (Harris, Newsome, Big Mike).
Conspiracy theory. Occam's razor would suggest that Biden took them, and at some point they were move to his home.
6. It’s a way to prosecute both Biden and Trump and prevent them both from running in 2024?
No. There has been a long-standing policy at the DoJ that sitting presidents cannot be indicted while in office. What this does, however, is give Merrick Garland legal cover to indict President Trump and not indict Biden for the same thing.
7. The DOJ and FBI knew the Biden classified documents would be found to be missing from the National Archives. Investigations would have had to be launched after the 2022 midterms.
It's possible. If so, it would make Merrick Garland a truly Machiavellian bureaucrat. Right now, he's seen as a spurned Supreme Court nominee who went bitterly mad with power to punish the people who stole his appointment from him. If he's actually conspiring to take down his own side's president, to me that would rate Garland in the megalomaniac super-villain category, out for blood-vengeance against everyone.
8. It’s real and a deliberate misdirection from the very thing the democrats are accusing others of doing.
It is real, and I think that the Democrats are actually in shock right now. I think they are stunned at how fast Biden's assurances have fallen apart, and how clumsily his administration (read: Karine Jean-Pierre) is dealing with it. I think they don't know how to move forward given their past statements about President Trump and Mar-a-Lago and the remarks that Biden himself made about Trump and his own publicly stated "respect" for classified materials.
9. This is a false flag of worser crimes to come, like Biden’s pro quo with Ukraine, China, etc.
I don't think it's a false-flag, I think it's Biden's past catching up with him. Right now, it's like watching an episode of Columbo; we know Biden did it, we're now watching Columbo figure it all out. Biden probably took the documents in 2017 because he knew they incriminated him in getting the Ukraine General Prosecutor who was investigating Hunter fired. He probably also took Iran Deal documents and Steele Dossier documents. Now we get to enjoy watching Columbo put all the pieces together.
10. Trump and “white hats” set up his raid to do some type of handoff of documents related to crimes on others.
I doubt it. President Trump is possibly the most-watched person in America right now. If people loyal to Trump set this up, I don't think we'd be seeing Biden's personal lawyers having two months to review the documents before the news was made public. The "white hats" would have leaked the story to the LAAP-dog media right away before the mid-term elections.
11. The FBI raided Trump to discover what evidence Trump had on them and the democrats.
Definitely true. The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to feed information to the J6 committee for prime-time coverage. The fact that it fizzled should be exculpatory for President Trump.
12. The Biden raid is to cover for Hunter.
If anything, it will make it worse for Hunter. He (and his Uncle Jim) will be at the center of everything.
