If FBI Goons can Crucify a former president, no-one is safe. It's how democracy ends and – just maybe – how civil war starts, says RICHARD LITTLEJOHN
This is how democracy ends. Or maybe, just maybe, how civil war starts.
After the surgically-embalmed octogenarian
Nancy Pelosi jetted into
Taiwan to proclaim America's enduring commitment to freedom, back home
FBI goons were staging a politically-motivated, prime-time raid on the home of her sworn enemy
Donald Trump.
As events unfolded on live television, it was like watching one of those old conspiracy-theory movies, starring Robert Redford or Gene Hackman.
The FBI's stormtrooper tactics at Bad Orange Man's gaudy Mar-a-Lago compound in Palm Beach, Florida, could have come straight from the playbook of the Chinese Communist Party.
And a warrant from a federal judge is easier to obtain than a rubbery 99-cent cheeseburger from a 24-hour gas station fast food outlet.
Whenever the Feds fancy kicking someone's door down on the most spurious of grounds, there is always a tame judge happy to oblige.
These days, they don't have to rouse some drunken jurist from his Jack Daniels-soaked pit in Gopher's Gulch, somewhere in Middle America. They've got a judge in Washington D.C on speed dial, eager to do their bidding.
The Clintonian Democrats pull all the strings in Washington. The Feds, and the Justice Department, are their own private army. So it was no real surprise when shock troops from the nation's capital swarmed into the reclaimed Mar-a-Lago swamp.
Missing documents were merely the pretext for a high-profile embarrassment of the ex-Commander-in-Chief.
After all, the FBI couldn't have cared less when the ghastly Hillary Clinton - then Secretary of State and Democrat Presidential candidate - took a Black and Decker drill to 33,000 allegedly confidential emails on her own laptop.
Nope, this was another shocking example of the process becoming the punishment. The intention was to portray Trump as guilty of something, anything - and divert attention away from Creepy Uncle Joe and his dodgy business dealings with nefarious foreign actors, via his druggy, whoring son Hunter.

The Dems are desperate to stop Trump running again, after polls showed him trouncing not just Biden but any other opponent. They want to shoo-in California 'liberal' Gavin Newsom, a toothy, vacuous left-wing poster boy who has let crime and illegal immigration rip in the once 'Golden State'.
The terrifying fact here is that if the Deep State can crucify a former President, then no-one is safe.
Curiously, if this ham-fisted raid was intended to destroy what was left of Trump's credibility, it has backfired spectacularly.
As of today, it looks like Trump stands more chance of getting re-elected, not less.
