Most posters here (correctly) seem to be less troubled by the raid, given it even went through Trump appointees, and the legal process requires specificity in what they are searching for. I give benefit of the doubt that our legal system DOES work. There are sometimes surprises and scandals, but not as much as Trump portrays. I doubt they would have searched if it was just for the possible crime mishandling classified documents or to recover those documents. That’s too minor to make such a splash. We shall see in time.

Remember: Trump and Guilliani were the first to mainstream the calls to lock up political opponents and to assume all official governmental proceeding was unlawful, etc. Many posters go in to any news article with that bias implanted in their heads. Seems Trump may learn that one reaps what he sows.

2cents: if your opinion of the search is colored by Mueller report, it is not true that the report was illegitimate. Please read the report yourself instead of Trump/Fox’s characterizations. Trump barely cooperated and also worked to derail the investigation, so Mueller was limited. Nevertheless there are many troubling things in the report. Nothing arose to criminal, the report said, because of our tradition of not charging a president while in office, as well as the lack of cooperation in getting testimony.
