It is possible for two things to be true at the same time: Trump was absolutely unfairly targeted, and Trump’s targets are now being fairly targeted for evidence of real, actual crimes.
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post were out with Editorial Board editorials Friday night lamenting the raid on John Bolton’s home and office and they both read like they came from the same talking points.
Both the Times and the Post frame it the same way: the investigations into Bolton, Letitia James, Adam Schiff, etc., are “weightless,” clearly just “revenge” on the part of Trump, and (boo-hoo) financially and reputationally destructive to those targeted.

Showing that Bolton was likely just a tool of the left who was used to attack Republicans.
To me, the Bolton raid is a goose-gander thing and seems appropriate when you recall the raids by the Biden administration.
Can I get me a “Boo-hoo” ‘round here?
Those filthy communist subversives at the NY Homosexual Times and WaPo are going to be dealt with.
President Trump has another 3 and a half years to take out the trash. It is coming.
LOL - getting warmer....
The usual two-faced crap - “It’s not lawfare when we do it.”
