1) A sober shower thought for the day. After the raids of Manafort, Cohen, and others, I keep seeing people demanding that the FBI do raids on our political opponents. Raiding the Clintons, Podestas, Leaky Schiffs, etc.
2) I say... no. No, because do you even know what you're asking to have happen? Let me tell you how one of these FBI raids work.
3) A whole bunch of uniformed gestapo looking mother fuckers with 'FBI' plastered on them just walk right in, fuck any locked doors or what have you, fuck knowing if anyone's home, hell in Manafort's case the dude was still in bed.
4) So imagine waking up and seeing a bunch of these guys all over your home taking goddamn EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. Might be vaguely potentially related to whatever they're looking for? Poof, gone, its all theirs. There's nothing to do except stand there and watch it happen.
5) It is intimidating, because it is MEANT to be intimidating. It is shocking the victim of an FBI raid into submission. Which means little to no complaint when the government takes literally all of your shit.
6) Me? I'm a libertarian. This kinda shit TERRIFIES me. Especially as there is a pretty big perception that such tactics are being in a political civil war. And really, that's what it is, politicians and appointed officials of different parties in a civil war.
7) Notice, people keep asking, 'when will the CLINTONS be raided? When will the PODESTAS be raided?' When people like Manafort and Cohen, who are painted as being on the Republican side of this cold civil war, get raided, its MEANT to terrify us. 'You cannot stop us RUINING you.'
8) But.... look at how the Trump administration is fighting back. Quiet, detailed, SECRET. Investigating. Not big and intimidating. Trump does a fair amount of signaling from Twitter, yes, but the OIG investigation? Sessions' appointment of Huber?
9) That started MONTHS, some over a YEAR ago. But it wasn't publicized. Why? Because the Trump administration isn't trying to intimidate Democrat voters into submission. He is going for the heart it of, going for the throat, going for the corruption through Sessions.
10) When Manafort and Cohen get raided and the MSM says, "SEE? See how corrupt they were? See how helpless they were? This is going to be Trump Jr next! This is going to be Ivanka next! This is going to be YOU NEXT if you side with Trump!"
11) Fear. The FBI raids? Fear. They're TRYING to elicit fear from us. They're trying to scare us, to make us react, to make us demand that we perpetuate the cycle and system of fear by doing the same thing to our enemies, to keep this political cold civil war going.
12) Don't give into the fear. Don't let them scare us into lashing out. Don't let them make us keep everything politicized and calcified. Sessions, Huber, Horowitz and the rest are hitting the Obama administration corruption where it hurts, they're going to hit the key players.
13) In the meantime, just relax, and stop being afraid. Or be like me, be so pissed you become a drunk kettle of rage ready to boil over at any moment. /end
