wow, that is news

it's like a shock and awe campaign the dems are running
almost too many things a once, but does mean that a few will stick even if some get thrown out on technicalities (which his lawyers are trying hard to find)

Well, true, every federal agency has an OIG office. But they're not special armed agents who go around executing FBI raids.

am I missing something here
I don't see people saying the NA agents swooped in for a no-knock warrant, they clearly have said FBI agents?

you are 100% correct, NA agents don't conduct FBI raids.  the FBI conducts FBI raids.

nice explainer thread

nice!  here's the easier-to-read unroll of the thread.

even comes with a side of social commentary:
"The agents show up at the specified location (during the day unless they asked for and got a night warrant) and secure the location, which depending on the skin color of the occupants means proning you out on the pavement or putting you on a couch.

some amazing replies too… lovin' it.

I liked this line

Federal magistrate judges tend to require relatively thorough, specific, and well-documented applications, as opposed to state judges, who will generally sign a warrant that looks like something Gary Busey blew out of his nose after Fourth of July weekend.

Coming at him from multiple fronts….

Trump will be questioned under oath Wednesday in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his dealings as a real estate mogul

The chef's kiss on this is that it was TFG who signed the law making the mishandling of Classified Material a felony…
