By now everyone on the Planet has heard that the FBI served a Search Warrant on the defeated former guy's home, the Mar-A-Lago Resort in Palm Beach.
We've already heard plenty of trump's sycophantic supporters scream about how this is persecution and shows how the Biden Administration and the DOJ are laser-focused on bringing down trump. It's another part of the evil conspiracy from the dreaded, all-powerful Deep State, which has had it in for Dear Leader from the jump... blah, blah, blah...
The truth is that trump has been holding on to documents that belong to the United States for more than a year and that he had zero intention of ever returning them.
Although this came as a surprise to many Americans, the drama about trump's flagrant crimes in this matter has been going on since shortly after he was chased out of the Oval Office. And the National Archives and the DOJ weren't going to put up with his stonewalling and lying any longer.
If you'd like to get some of the important background to this surreal, unfolding story, this article from today's New York Times would be a good place to start.
The wheels of Justice sometimes turn slowly. Sometimes very slowly. But they're turning.
