Trump Knows He Got Caught and is RAGING: Just Released Statement Suggesting FBI ‘Planted Evidence’

Evidently, Trump doesn’t know how searches work.

First of all, Trump was upset that they arrived unannounced, as he said on the day of the raid. There is not much point in obtaining a search warrant and coming to the location if you schedule an appointment a week in advance. In any application for a warrant, the police must describe why they believe that there is a threat to the evidence (disappearing, destruction, moved, etc). Second, you are not allowed to walk through the property with them. No one is allowed on the property because the police do not want anything disturbed, picked up, or planted by the person there.

Now Trump is suggesting that the FBI wanted “to be left alone” and could be “planting” evidence. The emphasis on the FBI “being alone” alongside floating that the FBI could be planting evidence screams that he knows the FBI found highly incriminating things. From his Truth Social account:

The FBI and others from the Federal Government would not let anyone, including my lawyers, be anywhere near the areas that were rummaged and otherwise looked at during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Everyone was asked to leave the premises. They wanted to be left alone, without any witnesses to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not, “planting.” Why did they STRONGLY insist on having nobody watching them, everybody out? Obama and Clinton were never “raided,” despite big disputes!

What crimes did Obama commit? And, the crime that Clinton committed was on tape. There is no reason to “search” anything. This is so pathetic.

As if that were not bad enough, Trump tried to raise tensions that much more, possibly using code (again) to call his troops to action:

Dark and dangerous times for America!

Yes, they are. Trump is making it worse.
