I suspect "they" (FBI) have a very good reason for going after him that has nothing to do with whether Trump runs again. We'll learn soon enough....at which point, all the talking heads casting shade on the FBI will have moved on to another target...
Let's hope before there is more of this...

WILMINGTON, Ohio -- An armed man clad in body armor who tried to breach the FBI’s Cincinnati office on Thursday was shot and killed by police after he fled the scene and engaged in an hourslong standoff in a rural part of the state, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

They don't seem to realize they are helping him if they don't have anything that would prevent him from running again.

Has it ever occurred to you that some people care about more than just winning the next election? Sometimes the right thing to do isn’t the best for winning the next election but it is still the right thing to do and needs to be done.

Yes, this is true. I know the Democrat motto "by any means necessary" means just that. They will do anything to prevent Trump and the Republicans from winning. But yes, some people care about issues, policies, fairness, truthfulness, and transparency. Good point.
I just have not found them yet.

If that is why they acted then it is respectable and the way law enforcement is supposed to conduct them selves. Given their history with Trump and what I've seen from Garland I remain skeptical.

Which has nothing to do with the fact that everybody already knew about the raid as it was happening.
And it is not accurate to act like the FBI leaked it.

I’m going to need a citation for this from an actual Democrat or I’m going to assume you made this up.

Nobody had to leak it. There was a battalion of vehicles with red and blue flashing lights surrounding the place, which was being filmed live by media and people passing by. Did you not see some of all of the footage of that?

This appears to be false witness. Is politics more important then following the word of God?

I’m surprised you bother asking at this point.

I do think a lot of American religion exists to serve the ends of the R party.

Really? It has been a common notion about the Democrats for years. But of course, it has been used by and against other parties and groups also. Most notable Malcolm X and the black panthers....This is just a small sampling of what I found in a few minutes.
Since we are advocating following the word of God, I will assume your apology and you can assume I have forgiven you!...
The Right Stuff: ‘By any means necessary’ (dailyrepublic.com)...
So I decided to give you the benefit of doubt and take a peek at one... and you are the one who ought to apologize.

Theres nothing in the authors opinion piece indicating "any means necessary" is an actual Dem motto. Instead the phrase is his characterization of D attitudes.

Actually, it is what they do, which is more indicative of their strategy than what they merely say. So I will give you they do not admit to it in words. But actions speak louder than words.

You should stick with opinion. Your venture into facts didnt go so well.

I see a few photos and video clips (after dark, so as they were wrapping up) of local police vehicles at the entrances with lights on. That doesn't scream "FBI raid" to me.

ETA: and here's footage from when they started. The last 30 seconds or so show the convoy of vehicles rolling up. No lights, no fuss. Just a bunch of black Suburbans.

Just heard that the warrant said Trump was under investigation for possible obstruction of Justice and espionage! The statute cited was 17893, which covers the Espionage Act. That's the warrant saying that--not me.
