The Payback for Mar-a-Lago Will Be Brutal – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

Trump derangement syndrome has a curious way of scrambling coherent thought. Witness the Democratic-media complex s blind insistence the Justice Department raid on Donald Trump s home is just and necessary rather than a dangerous move for their party and the republic.

In descending on Mar-a-Lago, the department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation shifted the U.S. into the category of countries whose ruling parties use government power to investigate political rivals. No attorney general has ever signed off on a raid on a former president s home, in what could be the groundwork for criminal charges.
