(NewsWars) Former Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and failed 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Andrew Yang both issued statements Tuesday warning Democrats of the fallout of the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort Monday night.
Cuomo wrote, “DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.”
The disgraced NY governor added, “DOJ must disclose the bona fide nature of the August 8 action or else the republicans will use it to Discredit the Jan 6 investigation, which would be a terrible disservice to the good work of the house committee in exposing The Trump administration violations.”

Essentially, Cuomo is worried the sliver of alleged “credibility” the January 6th Committee might still have will be totally destroyed by the blatant politicization of the federal government.
Yang, noting first that he’s no fan of Trump, told his followers the raid “strengthens” Trump’s claim that he’s being unjustly persecuted.
I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.

Yang went on to say the raid “was authorized by a local judge and a particular FBI office without buy-in or notification of higher levels of government.”
It seems like this was authorized by a local judge and a particular FBI office without buy-in or notification of higher levels of government. But literally no one will believe that or make a distinction. It’s probably bureaucratic but it seems political.

Yang also quoted a legal expert who said Trump will be re-elected in 2024 “hands down” if the raid was over classified documents, adding, “It will prove to be the greatest law enforcement mistake in history.”
“If they raided his home just to find classified documents he took from The White House,” one legal expert noted, “he will be re-elected president in 2024, hands down. It will prove to be the greatest law enforcement mistake in history.” https://t.co/xMznFPn0UG
