Episode notes
FBI Raid and Trust
- The FBI raid on Trump's home requires significant institutional trust, yet the FBI's trust is low.
- This action seems pretextual, especially given the lack of a clear, serious crime.
Declassification Power
- Trump's authority to declassify documents complicates the issue of classified materials.
- Previous cases of mishandling classified information involved individuals who lacked this power.
Past FBI Investigations
- The FBI's history of investigating Trump, including the Steele dossier incident, further erodes public trust.
- This fuels skepticism about their motives in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
