Beyond a wry couple of plugs for her "But Her Emails" swag, Hillary Clinton has not tweeted about yesterday's FBI search of Benedict Donald's over-the-top Rococo dump in Palm Beach.
That's because she's a billion times smarter than all the faux-outraged Republicans who are posting and tweeting and putting out statements from what is clearly the same lazy playbook (they all use some form of the word "weaponize"). This includes Kevin Never-Gonna-Be-Speaker McCarthy, Matt "Pudgy" Schlapp, and "Toilet Bowl" Elise Stefanik. Boy, are they gonna look stupid when we figure out what the raid was about.
And we can figure it out, because all Benedict Donald has to do is release his copy of the search warrant. It's customary for the FBI to leave it behind, as many legal beagles and others have pointed out.
So we cats are going to be Hillaryesque and wait for more information — beyond observing the obvious, that no one is above the law. But it's striking to remember that Attorney General Merrick Garland has no illusions about the danger of America's violent right wing. He prosecuted Timothy McVeigh, after all. So whatever reason it was for the FBI to go into Mar-a-Lago, it must have been super-duper serious. We cats thank federal law enforcement for what appears to be the protection of our country's national security, and we PURR.
