This raid of #MarALago is a jaw-dropping, mind blowing, hair- raising, eye-popping moment: the home of the former president #DonaldTrump raided by the FBI. An astonishingly striking move by an Attorney General hitherto known for being overly cautious 
You would have to believe that the AG, #MerrickGarland knew what the Feds were looking for. And every i and every t would have been dotted and crossed before this raid would have taken place
The politics of the #DonaldTrump raid is complicated. The #January6thHearings has been devastating for Trump’s reputation - but, but, but. This could make him a martyr, and fire up a base that had started to drift away
Trivia point that fascinates me is this. When the #FBI turns up at #MarALago - and you have the US Secret Service there to protect the president, do they outrank the FBI and say ‘no, you can’t open his safe?’ Or do the FBI just say ‘get out of our way’
