The spectacular search of Donald Trump’s Florida home in August continues to make waves. Since this operation, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have reported an increase in threats and acts of violence against federal police officers.
“I have said many times that violence against law enforcement is never – never – acceptable, no matter what ideology drives it”said Tuesday, September 20, the influential Democratic Senator Dick Durbin who accuses the Republican camp of contributing to this unhealthy climate.
But here’s the reality: Last month, after the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s residence, federal police faced an avalanche of threats against its employees and buildings, and those threats encouraged by the former president and his allies.
The Senate voted ” unanimously “ a text condemning these threats, noting in passing remarks by some Republican members of Congress who called for “stop funding” the FBI or compared the search “to the actions of the Gestapo”the political police of Nazi Germany.
“Vicious Monsters”
On August 8, the FBI raided Donald Trump’s residence in Florida and seized boxes of confidential documents that the Republican had not returned after leaving the White House, despite multiple requests. Federal investigators suspect Donald Trump of having thus violated an American law on espionage which very strictly regulates the possession of confidential documents.
Donald Trump, who openly plans to run for president in 2024, has since stormed against a search he deems “illegal and unconstitutional”and repeats having been targeted for political reasons.
On August 11, a 42-year-old gunman attempted to break into an FBI facility in Cincinnati, Ohio after throwing a “call to arms” on Donald Trump’s social network, Truth Social. The man, killed by the police, felt it was necessary “respond with force” to the search at Donald Trump’s house and “Shoot FBI agents on sight”.
The text adopted by the Senate describes other attempts at intimidation, such as the threat to file a “dirty bomb”made from stolen radioactive materials, in front of the FBI headquarters or calls for the ” civil war “ and at the “armed revolt”.
He also highlights the “repeated attacks by the ex-president who, among other insults, called FBI officials ‘vicious monsters'”.
