The warrant gave them power to take all manner of stuff from Trump, and, from all accounts, they exercised that right. If a single thing that is taken out of his house, unrelated to the classified documents, comes back to bite Trump, will you acknowledge that it was taken under dubious pretenses? Or will you just feel vindicated in your hatred for Trump. This is not how the law is supposed to work in this country.

How many corrupt actions does this agency need to take before we, the people, start to hold them accountable. There is now a huge list of events that have been manufactured by the FBI, and we just keep turning a blind eye. It is disheartening to see how often you moderates fail to adjust your world view when evidence is staring you in the face.

Of course I am willing to acknowledge that it could have been anything.  As I have stated before, I am waiting for all the facts to come out before I form a judgment about what this is.

I would suggest that you do the same.

You don't need to suggest that to me. I am not in here defending Trump. However, unless the Feds prove that Trump was selling nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia, I will consider this an abuse of power. You should, too.

I am suspicious of an organization that has increasingly stepped outside of legal and moral framework to achieve a political end. There have been many, many examples of this in the last 5 years or so. It's getting out of hand. I don't know why you guys keep turning a blind eye to it. It's not just this organization, either. 

You guys get so fixated on one thing that you can't see that standards and practices of our institutions are eroding and causing mistrust and tension amongst regular American citizens. Not for the elite, though... this system just keeps giving them more and more power. Our wealth is being transferred around the world, and our rights and opportunities are eroding.
