Trump’s Legal Team Set to Launch “Fourth Amendment-Based” Challenge to Mar-a-Lago Raid

Former President Trump is set to launch a “Fourth Amendment-based” challenge to the Mar-a-Lago raid, perhaps today. His legal counsel, former federal prosecutor James Trusty shared the news Friday. Yes, Trump has a Trusty lawyer.

The Fourth Amendment reads:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Put simply, a warrant that says “grab anything from every day of his presidency, and anything else you spot while rummaging through his wife’s clothes” ain’t that.

Trump will also request a special “Master” be appointed to sift the seized documents determining which the Feds can look at.

Among those documents is a stash related to Crossfire Hurricane that were ordered declassified in the days before Trump left office. According to the New York Times, the stash included additional texts between FBI counter-intelligence Trump hater (and Hillary protector) Peter Strzok and his then-lover FBI lawyer (and Obama White House liaison) Lisa Page.

Gee, why would the FBI want them back?

In an absolutely, positively unrelated topic, did you know an FBI agent pleaded guilty last week to destroying evidence that could have exonerated a Republican state legislator in Arkansas, whose now rotting in prison? Gateway Pundit has the details.

Meanwhile, a new poll shows Trump gained support among Republican voters in the aftermath of the raid. He’s jumped from 53% to 57% in a Politico/Morning Consult poll of preferred GOP candidates for 2024.

Biden Gets New Half-Million Fence Around Beach Pad

A half-a-million bucks of your tax money is going to put a new fence around Joe Biden’s Delaware beach pad. The most shocking thing? The fence is designed to keep Biden in. (Yes. That’s a joke.) If Secret Service thinks it’s necessary, fine. But the money may be better spent adding padding to nearby bike paths.

Sour Grapes Make for the Most Bitter Whine: Liz Cheney Blasts Republican Voters as “Sick”

Liz Cheney is handling her massive election loss like a champ. Oops. Typo. I meant “cramp.” Asked by ABC News about her 37 point loss, Cheney cried out against Republican voters. Astonished that so many “continue to believe the lie. They continue to believe what [Trump] is saying, and that is dangerous.” (TRANSLATION: Those Deplorables can’t think for themselves.)

Cheney wasn’t done. "I think it also tells you that large portions of our party, including the leadership of our party, is very sick.”

Wyoming voters kept saying, “You’re ignoring us and our concerns because of your obsession with Trump.” Her response: “I lost because the voters are mental.”

62% of College Students Would “Never” Room With a Trump Voter

62% of current college students who identify as “Democrat” say they would “never” room with a “Trump voter.” That according to an online NBC News poll of second-year students.

I wonder what percent of that 62% would describe themselves as tolerant?

A similar percentage of self-identified Republicans say they wouldn’t room with a Biden voter, because quote, “sleeping with rotting corpses would creep me out.” Okay. We made that up. Only about 28% of Republicans say they “probably” or “definitely” would refuse to have a Biden voter as a roommate.

As little interested as Democratic students are in having a Trump voter as a roommate, they are even less interested in having Joe Biden as a president.

73% say they don’t want Joe Biden to run again.
