Let there be no doubt, the raid on Mar-A-Lago was a power move by establishment leftists to not only neutralize Trump, but to serve as a shot across the bow of political foes. The Lois Lerners and Peter Strokes see a strong ally in a White House being run by establishmentarians manipulating a mentally declining meat puppet and a cackling idiot second in charge. From a truth ministry to draconian COVID controls, this incident provides one more revealing insight to how the left would like to run this country if given enough authority.

That's Trump's fault it was not handled discreetly.  The government asked for the documents back, and they didn't get them.  So then they used a subpoena, and they got about 1/3 of them, and a denial that there were any more.  Meanwhile, someone informed the government that there were a lot more.  And the government panics about what is in those top secret documents, and how they are being stored and handled, and the fact that the Trump people lied about there being any more of them.  So they sent in the FBI and took them.  And it was Trump who publicized the raid in a tweet.  

So, yes, it could have been handled much more discreetly, but whose fault is that?
