FBI raids office and adjacent cannabis shop of Virginia Sen. L. Louise Lucas

USArmyvet100

When all this shit is over, we need to hunt down every one of these scumbags that have followed these illegal orders, violated their oaths to the Constitution, and are trying to destroy our democracy and country. Hunt them down like the Nazis they are.

Woke Navy Vet36

Weird that Fox News was there, ready and waiting to report. Total coincidence, I'm sure.

Chimamma6935

But Fox news obviously DID know.

Its Getting Clear22

Shows their desperation. Weaponizing the DOJ. Trump is a mobster crime boss and Todd is his Tom Hagen.

Amy🥀21

I feel like they’re seizing on every ba time in the last century. A little gilded age, a little Jim Crow, a little fascism , a little McCarthyism, all topped with a bit of recession rapidity approaching Depression

Maskup18

KKKash is pissed and using our military for revenge & intimidation. If he could send them in shooting he would. All because he's a vindictive alcoholic with too much power.

joe4zu.bsky.social18

Additionally, Ms. Lucas is a black woman. No surprise this is the person POS Trump chose to harass.

Ruby Raven16

Petty, vengeful, corrupt little man, & the sad minions who do his bidding.

Gayle Dourn Plantz16

Fox News was notified ahead of time...

raventerp1.bsky.social15

Where is the search warrant?

Tasha Williams11

the way this regime has persecuted Black public officials, esp. Black female public officials, can already fill a book.

Informed19

Funny how FoxNews was there filming all this. Patel has propoganda services on speed dial. Clearly performative art for MAGA mouth breathers and Trump.

Kitt B Wild…9

This is truly disgusting and it’s all because Senator Lucas had the Black audacity to stand up and fight fire with fire. And then to try and embarrass her by having the stooges at Fox there when it happened. Karma is real tho and what they’re doing to folks will be revisited upon them 10fold.

Liberty & Freedom8

Another DISTRACTION from the news about Lutnick’s poor performance during the House Democrats Hearing today! These UNPRECEDENTED DISTRACTIONS are becoming a PATTERN that we can now predict will happen every time Trump needs to distract us from all the news about the Epstein Files.

Keith Chaffin7

Name the judge who signed the warrant.

PSA: ANY GOVERNMENT OFFICE WHICH IS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION OF TRUMP'S CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION PLEASE COVER YOUR ASSES BY DIVERTING YOUR FILES AND INFORMATION TO A SAFE AND SECURE LOCATION AWAY FROM THE PRYING EYES OF TRUMP'S CORRUPTED FBI, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY WHO CARRY'S HIS SHIT WATER! BE WARNED!!!!

Fox News is all over it when they think they have a gotcha story. Never see any of trump’s senile, embarrassing bullshit.

Trump was mentored well by Roy Cohn … Senator Joe McCarthy’s right hand man. This level of aggressive retaliation and intimidation are totally “on brand” .

FBI and SWAT? What fucking bullshit. Optics. This is what he’s done to his kids and the children he raped. He used force and intimidation. Fucking asshole.

The Brown Shirts are now a part of our government.

Catherine3

I'm concerned about members of the Republican Political Party becoming cornered rats. The political terrorism in the U.S. over the last 15 months is shocking. Killing U.S. citizens on the street, children in school, has become normalized. Terrorizing politicians with SWAT teams. Very dangerous.

scarletbegonia3

I hate them so much.

MTfromCC3

Worse than McCarthy. The is the President weaponizing DOJ.

Granny Zee3

This is worse than the McCarthy Era.

weedshouldbelegal.bsky.social3

All Americans should be furious with Trump and Republicans for taking a shit on our democracy. They really don’t care what the vast majority of Americans need or want. They remind me of rapists. They force themselves on a nation that said NO. There should be a heavy price to pay for such betrayal.

corruption47.bsky.social3

And somehow Fox News knew to be there?

Jeri Westerson3

And Fox News was forewarned that they would be there. That in itself is illegal too

Geoffrey L2

And why was Faux News’ overseas reporter there…just happened to be in this little hamlet in Virginia? On vacation?

Mike Sr.2

McCarthy? This is a night of the long knives kind of thing.

Majhium2

Trump's only answer to truth, justice, honesty and the American way is with illegal, unlawful, violence to truly elected real Americans. The soon sHitler Trump descends into his ballroom bunker the better. Let his end be as his idol Adolf Hitler with an ignominious self inflicted death.

Richard W. Norton2

Where is the FBI's self-respect to be used as thugs this way? Sad.

Jon chase2

I bet it’s not hard to guess.

Merrick Garland is looking into it and is considering the possibility of starting legal action but ooops he's not AG anymore. Biggest Joe Biden appointment was this guy and the world is paying the price. Is it even remotely possible D pols have learnt the cost of timidity?

Gestapo tactics. The US is a dying country with no leadership and a bleak future! Going after their political enemies and calling it law enforcement. Cops are just pawns ♟️ sheep as it were to their masters. It’s not about right or wrong it’s about control and destruction of a once great nation.

patel and the current fbi thugs can go straight to HELL.

adanelife.bsky.social2

Wonder how much a judge was paid/bribed to sign off on a warrant?

Thugs from the Department of Injustice terrorize the opposition. This is what happens when empires fall. They rot from within.

Was it a vendetta move by trump and his cronies?

Drumming up fake charges and planting something other than jack’s magic beans.

So we all need to fight for freedom of the press, and freedom of speech.

MAGA has the memory of squirrels. Forget infrastructure week, a healthcare plan, tariffs are paid by the foreign country, or no new wars. They don’t even remember the “fraud” in Minnesota, but they do remember they hate Tim Walz. Fascist playbook 101.

mentalstate.bsky.social2

Just Renee, this is the objective. They know they will lose. But Faux, Snoozemax and their paid influencer network will run this story forever to paint her as corrupt.

Mvskoke_Neb2

And Fox News was there at the beginning. Go figure.

Lars Andersen2

The day after the DOJ decided to not only drop the case against a Trump-toadie, but return or destroy all evidence without review.

UWOPS2

What possible excuse, other than harassment and intimidation, could there be for using SWAT and having guns drawn?

bluefinsswimming.bsky.social2

Support her to keep fighting. The FBI are now acting like thugs and the behest of the immoral Republicans.

Velvet Vixen ♡2

This is a deeply concerning development. Weaponizing government power like this feels like a step backward for our democracy. 😟

Valerie Jablow2

Did you see this, too? www.science.org/content/arti...

GrisGris2

The goal is to silence her through fear and intimidation all while using federal law enforcement agencies. That should be illegal!

stopjd.bsky.social2

And Faux News was right there.

Static in the Sky2

This is so out of control. We need Trump out of office. Then, start our way down the list kicking the rest of the vermin out. Please spread this image far and wide. Ask others to do the same.

jse034.bsky.social2

Did they have a warrant? What exactly were they looking for? What was the reason for this warrant Where are those top secret documents that Trump stole and stored at Mar A Lago. Why did he have them? When are the results of that going to be released? Is Aileen Cannon still hiding them for Trump?

Fighting to the end10

You don’t mess with Senator Lucas. She will take down Trump

Good thing Fox News was there, when SWAT showed up.

Shame on the Dems for allowing the republicans accuse them of doing all this shit, failing to prosecute these seditious traitors, and allowing the republicans to do all this shit.

Dana Moore5

They will live to regret their move.

RadarNick3

Strange how every one of these charges are Democratically aligned. Even stranger how every one of these cases are quickly dropped. They may not call Iran a war, but what this Administration is doing to democracy in America certainly is! The reckoning is coming!

Mark Streich 3

She’s quite capable of punching back, and they will regret this.

l7mn.bsky.social3

I just post this because corruption is rampant and should be our priority. Things like this cannot keep happening.

patriciaadvocate.bsky.social3

We gotta listen to Black women. The warnings are real. Bad policies by Republicans hurt progress. We want fair maps for strong representation 🇺🇸 The corruption in this WH is outrageous. I’m waiting for more voters to react and demand better for all of us.

The Gestapo is busy. It will only get worse as we get closer to Midterms.

They are going to do everything and anything to rig this election.

🪷MsGrumpyBunny🪷13

And Fox was onsite to film it, not a coincidence. We are drowning in the corruption of this man and his ilk.

MadGreek 🧿11

So this is how Trump wants to play this. Use the DOJ to raid anyone that stands in his way. Go after only Democrats, who oppose Republicans. This is what dictators do. The power of intimidation. But this just galvanizes our base. To fight harder. You started this fight, we'll end you.

fitzified74💙✌️☘️🏴‍☠️🕊🐶🤟☕️☕️8

FAUX was invited to the raids. The Gestapo is in high gear to steal the midterms. I sense a coup in the near future.

mimimoore1285.bsky.social5

Kash Patel made a big mistake when he went after Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas. He tried to score point with Trump, but he'll FAFO. Roland Martin once said no one hates Republicans more than Black women.

Sherry3

And most offensive to the Trump rethuglican administration She is a woman She is smart She is not-white Stupid FBI has messed with the wrong person Virginia supports Senator L. Louise Lucas

Quercus483

I wonder, if Trump’s targets, could sue him personally, revenge of personal enemies is not official duty.

MH3

I've met and admire this formidable lady. Hope she has a lawyer advising Patel and his goons to preserve documents out of the gate. At some point this vindictiveness should cost these abusers of power.

Manzanarez Robin (Twain)3

No such thing as reverse racism+these women Trump attacks are success stories despite US history of rampant racism+sexism. Trump as usual is on warpath against his naysayers+co-opting US Govt to do it. DJT racist+misogynist ideals make him zero in on his most feared nemesis-a powerful Black woman.

Valerie Stewart2

They are distracting us so we are outraged about a ballroom, a renaming of an airport and Melania’s dark past. Meanwhile they are doing things to steal and disrupt the next election. Taking names of voters, election volunteers and threatening Democrats. Outrageous. Do not lose focus.

Kat💙2

It shows their fear. Snowflakes. ❄️

Kash's klan of kowards. They're not subtle or slick.

Curtis2

Doubt she was caught by surprise, probably thinking “bring it and don’t bring it weak…” the whole time.

Rick H5

I'm sure that it has nothing to do with her push to redraw congressional districts that would favor Democrats. That would be selective prosecution by Trump's DOJ and illegal. Interesting that the local police said they knew nothing about the raid.

namehereguy.bsky.social4

Honestly I'm at the point I am with Russia bringing corruption charges; the charges may possibly be true but that has no relation to why they're being brought.

Michael Planey3

There is absolutely no reason that any Trump administration position should be given the benefit of the doubt on anything. Unnamed sources have undermined the credibility of the mainstream media for so long now that they have essentially turned themselves into gossip columns.

Bobert21

It’s clear we don’t live in a democracy anymore. Quite frightening.

ceroespada.bsky.social20

They can kick the ball occasionally but they can't even seem to get a first down most to all of the time. I don't think this will be any different

Grungehamster12

There is a non-zero chance that there is merit to the search (would not be the first time someone who is openly critical of those in power turned out to have personal ethics issues) but the fact pattern of charging so many critics and the FBI not even offering a justification isn't a great look.

BillThePony6

And they're announcing it with trumpets and banners as well Demonstrating how little fear they feel

Follow the Minnesota 1st5

I would agree that it's scary but it's really only a sign that they WANT to be in that territory. I agree with others that it looks much more weak than strong.

🇵🇸🇱🇧🇨🇺Chud Destroyer4

Her Wikipedia article mentions some prior questions on the legality of some of the products her cannabis store sold but that’s about it. Any investigation not focused only on that as a start is a sham (like this one)

Amateur Renaissance Man ((25/47)*161.68)4

... don't forget the judge who signed the search warrant.

Allen Kibler4

How can any American have faith in the justice system of this country at this point? It’s obviously corrupt, broken and advantageous to the wealthy. It’s weaponized against the poor, minorities and now political opponents. We should have a moratorium on all prosecutions until order can be restored

gypsysoulhippie.bsky.social2

Still more shocked and disappointed that the Republicans are silent

Why is it always Bob?2

In a not at all shocking display of hypocrisy, the raid was claimed to be part of a “corruption investigation.” Funny how the FBI & DHS are never interested in the massive, in plain sight, never-ending corruption committed by their boss and all of his minions in everything they say & do.

Fan of Sandwich Guy3

Weaponization of a once legitimate justice department. Shameful, blatantly crooked administration.

1 team 24 cups3

He’s one of Rupert Murdoch’s bravest soldiers. Nobody on Fox News’ payroll outside of their prime time lineup did more to whip up anti-immigrant hysteria than Bill Melugin.

Dems get voter approval for redistricting: officials are targeted and harassed. Repubs redistrict despite voter protests: officials are praised and rewarded. What will it take to rid ourselves of these cretins?

China fast tracked voting machine trademarks to Ivanka’s business in 2018. A mega MAGA donor and election denier bought the Dominion Voting Machine company (& rebranded it as Liberty Vote). Last election a small handful of voting machines in swing states had hard drives replaced for ‘faults’. Rigged

I have no insider knowledge, but would still be willing to bet that the DOJ is the one committing a crime in this case…

I’m still waiting to see if my senators and representative to call this out. What’s sickening for me is I don’t really expect any of them to. Racism and misogyny is a problem among the VA Dems, too.
