“
Ex-President Donald Trump is considering the next escalation of his feud with the FBI, which has already put agents at risk and appears to be part of his effort to turn the search of his home for classified documents into a launch pad for his likely 2024 campaign.
Trump is trying to fight back as the legal mire deepens around him and some of his closest associates rooted in his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. But the multiple criminal, congressional and civil probes swirling around the former President are doing nothing to dim his appeal to Republican grassroots voters who are flocking to candidates who have embraced his election denialism – as Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary defeat on Tuesday showed.”
Donald Trump appears is trying to launch his 2024 campaign for the Oval Office with the FBI raid at Mara -A-Lago as a backdrop. The former President is able to effectively harness the anger expressed by millions of his followers as weapons to target law enforcement that he thinks is unfairly targeting him. Unfortunately, this anger is often directed as threats of physical violence aimed at Federal Judges and FBI agents who are only doing the jobs they were hired to do.
