Democrats and their backers have been both applauding and making light of the FBI’s decision to conduct a Monday raid at former US president Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida.
Trump didn’t explain why federal officials were at his house, and the FBI made no remarks about what the search may be for.
However, Democrats didn’t need any more explanations as to why the head of the nation’s federal law enforcement agency was there.
Leading the chorus of approbation was Michael Cohen, who represented Trump from 2006 to 2018 and was imprisoned after confessing he covered up his ‘dirty acts.’ Cohen tweeted a picture of himself in his vehicle, beaming widely.
The raid was referred to as a “Karma Boomerang” by Cohen, who was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to lying to the Senate and House Intelligence Committees in 2017 on a potential Trump Tower Moscow deal.
The expression on your face when you realise that the FBI just conducted a raid at Mar-a-Lago is priceless! He included the hashtag “#KarmaBoomerang” and a photo of himself grinning.
Happy Mar-a-Lago Search and Seizure Day, everyone, belatedly! George Conway, Kellyanne Conway’s husband and a senior adviser to Trump from 2017 until 2020, authored the article.
According to sources close to the investigation, which were reported by many US media sites, agents were conducting a court-approved search in connection with the alleged improper handling of sensitive information transported to Mar-a-Lago.
Rob Reiner, an actor and filmmaker, seemed ecstatic at the information. The FBI searches Mar-a-Lago. It’s game on,” he tweeted.
The Feds ransacked Mar-a-Lago. Ice T, a rapper and actor, tweeted, “Oh sh*t. S**t’s poppin off.”
“There is a certain poetry about the FBI searching Mar-a-Lago on August 8th, the anniversary of Richard Nixon tendering his resignation.” historian Garrett M. Graff tweeted.
Adam Parkhomenko, a Democratic strategist, joked about how the raid would make Trump not too happy and referenced the previous president’s fondness of fast food.
Heinz ketchup is now being applied on the walls of Mar-a-Lago, he wrote.
He subsequently added, “America, James Comey was sacked by Donald Trump so that Christopher Wray could carry out a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.”
Attorney Tristan Snell proposed that “Mar-a-Lago is now formally recognised for what it is: a murder scene.”
Bess Kalb, a comic book author, alluded to the government work that was ultimately completed at Trump’s Florida home.
Make no mistake: This raid is significant because it revealed for the first time that there were federal employees working at Mar-a-Lago, according to Kalb.
A Senior Researcher at the Centre for Investigative Journalism in Toronto named John Scott-Railton expressed his feelings by making fun of some of Trump’s own statements.
“The Mar-a-Lago attack was a stunning raid.” maybe the best. a raid of the highest kind. It’s Real!
Democratic candidate for governor of California Ted Lieu made an effort to explain the raid’s motivations.
Trump exhibits a shocking lack of legal knowledge. His residence was not broken into by Democrats.
Because prosecutors do not authorise warrants, this is not prosecutorial wrongdoing.
The reason for this search was that a federal court determined there was a good chance that Mar-a-Lago might contain evidence of a crime.
