The story of the raid of ex-President Donald Trump's residence and office at Mar-a-Lago in Florida seems to be gaining more and more interesting details. For one thing, the warrant for the search was sealed. The judge who signed off on that warrant, Federal Magistrate Bruce Reinhart, was a Democrat donor and a lawyer for the employees of late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile who ran effectively a high-class bordello operation out of his private island and other residences. Epstein's operation was likely an intelligence-connected entrapment operation as well. Some of the world's top tier power elites are known to have visited those locations. Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody, officially after committing suicide, but the scenario of that suicide makes it quite unlikely. He was most likely murdered. This was when Trump was President and silencing of Epstein could be part of a broader anti-Trump agenda. And the same guy who represented some of Epstein's associates now signs off on the warrant to search Trump's office and residence, authorizing an unprecedented raid clearly designed to damage Trump's prospects politically even if chances of him being prosecuted are remote.
In other news, Trump's lawyers were not allowed to observe the raid. Which makes entrapment and planting of evidence by the FBI even more likely.
This is it for now. Let's see how things develop from here on out. Though one thing seems to emerge already, and it is solidification of support behind the ex-President.

I have read about the Epstein case, but it is interesting to see that he had a connection with Trump.
Epstein and Trump knew each other. Trump once flew in a jet owned by Epstein (at least once) from Florida to NYC. Now the fact that two billionaires in NYC knew each other is in and of itself hardly surprising. How much they were connected, who else was involved in all of it, who offed Epstein, why, how - all of that is yet to be uncovered.
And yes, this is some highly interesting stuff - and some very serious corruption.
