Yesterday some unsealed court filings in the Trump classified document case contained some curious details, one of which was what the FBI was authorized to use during the Mar-a-Lago raid. This authorization makes it sound like the feds were going after violent gangsters instead of into a former president's office to retrieve some papers (while going through other things unrelated to any documents as well):

"Standard protocol" was followed?

Julie Kelly is among the many who aren't buying that spin:

Mollie Hemingway and others also aren't buying the "standard operating procedure" claim from the FBI:

If it ever IS normal the country has strayed dangerously into banana republic territory.
