The Raid: Difference Between Trump and Clinton

Arming You With Knowledge

This word does not mean what you think it means.

Yesterday’s FBI raid on Former President Trump’s home, Mar-A-Lago, located in Palm Beach, FL is being called unprecedented and it is, though I’m hearing whispers that President Woodrow Wilson used the then-infant FBI as his muscle against naysayers to his presidential policies. 

What kind of evidence was the FBI looking for yesterday? Classified material. 

So, now, conservatives and Trump supporters are enraged, while liberals and leftists on social media – specifically Twitter – are saying that we are hypocrites, since, after all, we have been shouting “lock her up” ever since it was acknowledged by this very same FBI that Hillary Clinton commissioned an unsecured server to be built in her Chappaqua, NY home and allowed classified material to be routed through it so that anyone, anywhere could have access to it. 

Same crime, right? Probably not.

Consider these things. Assuming that Trump did have allegedly classified material in his possession, when did he acquire it? It had to be sometime before Inauguration Day 2021, meaning when he was still the POTUS.  

And guess what! Any sitting POTUS has the intrinsic authority to declassify any classified material. That’s right.  

Therefore, I’m guessing that Trump declassified any previously classified material that may have been in his possession in 2022. 

Authority. And Power. That’s what separates these cases. He had [sic] it and she didn’t. 

But I’m just speculating - which, in itself, has damn near become a crime.

More in a bit.
