Mostly in the RW, they keep referring to the Cohen search as a "raid..."

[Archae]

"The FBI raided Cohen's office and residence..."

Makes it sound like they busted down the door with guns drawn, like videos in the news of SWAT raids.

In reality, they knock, politely enter, and are really nice to Cohen.

The RW wants to continue the "drug raid-like" imagery to deflect from the facts.

1. They are also consistently broadcasting this is only about the Stormy Affair.

Nothing more to see here... Move along.

2. Had this happened to Hillary Clinton in the same way, the RW would be celebrating. n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Exactly. Without a doubt

They'd be citing this as absolute "evidence" of her criminality too. Even if it was just an associate/confidant like, say, Huma Abedein. In fact, of course, the RW was certainly convinced that the late-Election FBI examination of Weiner's laptop that there was something ugly just waiting to be found.

7. they would probably be complaining

that the FBI didn't shoot first and ask questions later

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Yup

Democrats and African-Americans don't get/deserve due process according to RW.

3. i don't think they benefit from calling it a "raid". makes them look like the crooks they are.

[Kaleva]

10. I agree.

[Turbineguy]

6. Overheard at lunch yesterday from a conservative colleague:

"...I guess Republicans aren't allowed to have lawyers now..."


I laughed my ass off all through Taco Tuesday. I'm not sure he ever understood how stupid that statement was.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Don't think about that statement for more than a second

or blood will start shooting out your nose.

[rurallib]

12. could be lawyers fear working for Republicans these days

look at Donnie ..........

[Snotcicles]

11. The more corrupt you are the more raidy a search feels. nt
