"If you don't like the way the table is set, then overturn the table!" - the famous American political drama " House of Cards "
For the American political arena, Trump 's Haihu The fact that the manor was raided by the FBI means that the "Donkey and Elephant Controversy" has begun to heat up. Social divisions have intensified and political conflicts have escalated. The "city on a hill" that Americans pride themselves on may have become unstable and crumbling.
But the matter is not over yet. After a full week, more and more questions have flooded the minds of the American people. , The Republican Party and the Democratic Party have become more and more fierce in their fight.
first share the three issues that American society is most concerned about .
First, who is the "ghost" who betrayed Trump? Trump is searching hard.
4 days ago, Mulvaney, the former acting director of the White House Office of the United States, said that the reason why the FBI was able to launch a "targeted search" in Mar-a-Lago and successfully find several boxes of documents in the safe and storage room was because there were connections with Trump. People with extremely close relations with Prudential leaked information.
Because of this, Trump immediately searched for the informant "in the inner circle". His former lawyer Cohen revealed that Trump may suspect his wife Melania . But Trump's niece Mary said the informant may be Trump's son-in-law Kushner.
But no matter what kind of speculation it is, it will inevitably make people feel a little bit absurd. Could it be that the root cause of this drama that is disrupting the US political situation is just Trump's "family affairs"?
The one on the left is Melania, and the one on the right is Kushner
Second, the US media broke new information. Trump's lawyer has signed a statement, which may become Trump's incriminating evidence.
On the 13th local time, the US " New York Times " suddenly quoted four people familiar with the matter as saying that more than one Trump lawyer had signed a written joint statement in June, claiming that Trump was in Mar-a-Lago and the club. All material within the that was marked classified has been returned to the U.S. Government .
It is not difficult to guess that this statement, which has never been reported before, is probably the information revealed by the informant. But this is not the point. The key lies in the authenticity of this statement, which is related to whether the Trump team concealed anything when it was previously investigated.
More importantly, this statement may substantiate the US Department of Justice's accusation against Trump: is suspected of violating and obstructing official duties, and can be sentenced to up to 20 years.
Third, we have to return to the most essential question: Are the 11 boxes of documents seized by the FBI confidential?
Just yesterday, Trump "called out" to the US Department of Justice on social networking sites, asking it to return these documents protected by "attorney-client privilege" and "executive privilege". And this is actually Trump’s second rhetoric.
Previously, the Trump team said: These documents had been declassified before Trump stepped down as President of the United States. There is no such thing as "top secret" or "top secret".
In response, Trump's representative John Solomon publicly read a statement from the former president's office: According to Trump's "standing order," when he left the White House with documents the documents were immediately considered is the decrypted file.
However, this statement has also not been confirmed.
Only by answering all the above questions can we judge whether this "former president's home search case" is a farce or a scandal . However, all the statements of the US Department of Justice and the Trump team are lack of sufficient transparency . Only then can This has led to divergent opinions in American society.
This is not a big deal. After all, American public opinion has always been at odds with each other, and many people are not surprised. In contrast, the turmoil and chaos caused by this case in the American political arena deserve more attention.
Larry Hogan
is mainly reflected in three aspects.
First, the Republican Party is not a "monolithic body." Some people support Trump, while others speak out "fairly" against him, such as the so-called moderate member of the Republican Party and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.
According to him, investigators should provide more details, but he also appreciated the U.S. Department of Justice for convincingly demonstrating the importance of searching Mar-a-Lago and encouraged relevant parties to continue to address issues of concern.
In addition, due to the fierce rhetoric of some Republicans who support Trump, such as comparing the FBI to the secret police " Gestapo " during the Nazi Germany period and asking Congress to defund the FBI, was criticized by Hogan as "ordering." Outrageous remarks."
In short, although the "donkey-elephant dispute" is getting more intense, there seems to be a risk of "internal strife" within the Republican Party, and this bomb may explode at any time.
Second, there are more and more threats against the FBI, and all kinds of threatening letters are emerging in endlessly. Previously, a Trump supporter even broke into the FBI headquarters building in Ohio with a gun and was shot dead after a six-hour confrontation with the police.
FBI Director
And now, the FBI headquarters has received a " dirty bomb " threat. According to a joint announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Security and the FBI on the 14th, someone attempted to detonate a radioactive bomb a "dirty bomb" at the FBI headquarters, thereby causing nuclear radioactive fallout contamination.
Many people are frightened by this. A turmoil that far exceeds last year's "Capitol Hill riots" may be brewing.
Third, the Biden administration’s response is incredible. White House spokesman Pierre once again emphasized on the 14th that the White House had no knowledge of the FBI’s search of Trump’s private residence.
Prior to this, the White House only distanced itself from the incident on the first day after the incident, and refused to comment thereafter. But now, the White House once again expressed ignorance, indicating that the Biden administration does not want to be associated with the actions of the US Department of Justice and FBI.
After all, it is easy for people to misunderstand that the executive branch is colluding with the judicial branch to frame Trump. This also shows from the side that Trump’s offensive is very successful, and Biden is already feeling a lot of pressure.
But the matter has come to this, and it is impossible for any party to voluntarily admit defeat. Taking a step back in the political arena may lead to a fall into the abyss. There is only one rule in Washington, "Be the hunter or be the prey" .
Ever since, all parties have taken action one after another!
, Trump's personal lawyer and former New York City Mayor Giuliani "made harsh words": If Trump is elected president in 2024, the first thing he will do is to search Biden's every A residence.
This is a threat, but it is also a reminder, because Trump is the first former president in the history of the United States to have his private house searched . This "political behavior" breaks the precedent in American politics , so the relevant parties must stop immediately, Otherwise, every former president of the United States will never live a stable life.
Although the White House has repeatedly claimed that it has no knowledge, the Trump team is keeping a close eye on Biden. In the final analysis, it is to pressure the Democratic Party.
, The White House spokesperson once again stated his position on the 14th, claiming that Although Biden's recent support rate has hit a record low, he still intends to run for a second presidential term in 2024..
It seems that Biden has made it clear that he wants to "fight" with Trump. At this time, he once again emphasized his determination to be re-elected in order to combat Trump's arrogance and show that the government is confident in easing the economy through the inflation reduction bill. Dilemma.
In short, in order to stabilize the election situation in the November mid-term election, Biden is also ready to fight!
3, critical moment, New York Manhattan Judge Melkan said that he will interrogate Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, during the U.S. midterm elections in November this year. The latter was charged with tax fraud. Arrested in July 2021.
There is no doubt that this interrogation is "Xiang Zhuang dancing with swords" , trying to implicate Trump himself and thus influence the mid-term elections. It has to be said that in order to prevent control of one or both houses of Congress from falling into the hands of the Republicans, the Democratic Party has come up with various tricks.
As for who will win, let’s wait and see.
