In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Admiral Ackbar believes he is ambushing a partly built "death star," only to find that it is fully operational and an enemy fleet has arrived. In a famous movie understatement, now embedded in pop culture, Ackbar exclaims, "It's a trap!" Now Democrats have planted an even more nefarious trap by having their minions in the FBI raid Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago.
The former president's estate in Palm Beach, Florida was the subject of an FBI search warrant in the late hours on Monday by two dozen agents, with 15 boxes of documents removed from the premises. The papers allegedly contain classified national security information and correspondence between Mr. Trump and leaders of other countries.
Okay, that's a raid, not a trap. The trap is what the Democrats hope the volatile and impulsive ex-president does in response.
Perhaps the worst kept secret in politics is that Donald Trump will, sometime this year, announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. The 2022 elections are still before us, however, and the Republicans are thought to have a good chance of reclaiming the House of Representatives in November, if not the Senate — that is, as long as no one rocks the boat.
The Democrats have had some limited success regaining momentum as a result of the January 6 committee hearings and the untimely decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Their spin doctors are hard at work making small drops in gas prices and the rate of inflation look like a roaring economy despite two straight quarters of negative growth. Crime, immigration, and multiple other issues remain a burden for the left.

I know people who plant listening and tracking devices. A huge public raid is not how that happens. They are done much more quietly and without any detection.
Those warrants would be completely sealed and would not see the light of day until an indictment.
I would imagine it would be next to impossible to do that in his residence because it would be swept regularly by the SS and his own staff.
I urge people to not spread such silly rumors without the slightest proof.
Meeep Meeep zzzzooommmm!
Democrats set a trap for Trump? Why, that would be an unprecedented first.
Agree on Kim Jung letter. Dems using weasel words. The letter coul
Say let’s talk about nuclear developments to resolve any confusions. The Dems just see one word and use that to create a narrative.
I think this is exactly backwards and that it is Trump who set the trap for the FIB.
What does Trump need to do now? Nothing he wasn’t going to do anyway ie run for president. The idiots just gave him a big boost with Independents and not that he needed it but with Republicans too.
And you have zero solutions to save the country.
If what you say id true, Trump is playing 7-dimension chess.
Are Democrats setting a trap for Trump?Is the Pope
Electing people who side with the citizens and the rule of law and are not trying to turn the country into North Mexico would be a start.
Notice the Jan 6th narrative has expanded into the 2020 election in general. Look at PA pols with one getting his phone taken.
Accuse others of what you are doing.
I think they’re going to try and say Trump & Co tried to steal the election from biden and they’ll call it sedition or similar and try to charge Trump to keep him from running in 2024. In a DC courtroom, he’d be found guilty.
Then we get CW II.
Riiiiight.
The democrats have a trigger set in an overinflated economy. They will pull the pin and crash it if trump or whoever gets elected. Schumer’s done it before in 2007. They’ll set the blame on whomever their target is. The media will follow suit without instructions.
I see this raid as just another vile attack perpetrated by the left to destroy Trump. Whatever, trap or no trap, Graham's advice is enough to convince me Trump should wait to announce until after the midterms.
At least Graham stopped talking about no one being above the law.
When Trump gets back he should have some of his aides rush out to the grill and burn some papers…lololol
When are they not?
Yep...But give him time...
I will suspect they planted/are planting “incriminating” docuemnts. Maybe their “insder” has been in on it. I hope somewhere not part of the docuemnt stores at Mar a Largro, Trup’s team has doubled-witnewssed logs of their own for all sets of Presidential docemnets Trump has had.
Articles like this remind me of a true story of a WWII soldier who went through the entire invasion of Italy.
He told me that he never fired his weapon. I expressed amazement. His reply was “If you shoot at them, they shoot back.”
Where would we be if there had been no Audie Murphys, only men like that?
