Let's consider the facts (as I understand them).

1.  In order to get a search warrant against anyone, a prosecutor or investigator has to draft the warrant detailing the subject of the warrant (exactly what they are looking for) as well as outline why the subject needs to be obtained (proof of a crime).  The warrant is "sealed".

2.  After drafting the warrant a judge has to "approve" it.  In this case, the judge that approved it has a pretty "questionable" background to say the least.

3.  The White House staff is insisting that the President knew nothing about this warrant.  Don't people find it odd that a warrant against a former President by the Attorney General isn't brought to the attention of the current President?

It is nothing more than an attempt to "disqualify" Trump from running for office again.

In my opinion, this whole thing is illegal and should be prosecuted by "real" prosecutors that will uphold the law.
