Trick or treat!

 Halloween came early to Mar a Lago, with FBI agents costumed as FBI agents ringing the bell and demanding the treats described in their search warrant.  Specifically, they are said to be after classified documents the laird stuffed in his pants as he tottered toward the exit January 20, 2021, on his amusing little shoe-lifted feet.  And as Trump has already whined, they broke into his safe.  Or as he put it, "my beautiful home...is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents...an attack by Radical Left Democrats who don't want me to run for President in 2024."  Actually it's the Republicans who don't want him to run, but why worry about facts at this point?  Maybe they chose today because they don't want any more documents to wind up in the Palm Beach sewer system.  Maybe they knew defenders like Alex Jones were otherwise occupied.  Maybe Merrick Garland just put the last piece of evidence in place.

Unlike Willie Stark, Trump doesn't have to growl, "Turn the yokels out."  They turn themselves out.  Paul Gosar, DDS, demands, "We must destroy the FBI.  We must save America."  Kevin McCarthy rants about "87,000 new IRS agents to audit American families and spy on their bank accounts" and ends with a hilarious threat to Merrick Garland:  "Preserve your documents and clear your calendar."  Uh, Kevs, Garland is not flushing papers down his toilet.  Empty Greene also wants to "Defund the FBI" and "Save America STOP COMMUNISM!" which is her default tweet.  Marco Rubio, fresh from an especially deranged attack on "Soros-backed prosecutors," is incensed that "The FBI isn't doing anything about groups vandalizing Catholic churches, firebombing pro-life [sic] groups or threatening Supreme Court justices," an apparent reference to that time Boofer Kavanaugh had to skip dessert.  Have you heard of vandalized churches?  I haven't.  Even the Klan has moved on.  

Some rank-and-file yokels also answered the call.  I'm not turning on Fox -- I assume Baby Tuckoo's voice is so shrill with outrage that dogs are hiding under beds.  It will keep.

By the way, in one of the other pending investigations, Cushman & Wakefield decided to avoid those contempt fines and has handed over 36,000 Trump-related documents to the New York attorney general.   Synchronicity, man.

Chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad.  Sleep well.
