The FBI still came to Donald Trump.
On his Mar-a-Lago estate, 30 agents inspected every office, climbed into every safe, ransacked every box, and took documents of interest to them.
Trump was not in Florida.
He was in New York, and the FBI knew about it, of course.
A search in the house of the former US president under the president himself would probably be overkill.
Or rather, still too much.
It seems that the day when they will come for Trump himself is not far off.
The reason for the searches is the potential illegal handling of government papers, some of which Trump mailed from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
Back in January, National Archives officials seized 15 boxes of documents from Trump's estate, which, according to them, the 45th US president had no right to take with him from Washington.
But something seems to be left.
Humiliating details have already been leaked through the liberal press.
Some of these secret papers were allegedly flushed down the toilet by the former head of the White House.
"The Ethics of the Banana Republic".
This is how Trump's son Eric reacted to what happened to his father.
He compared what is happening in the United States with the third world.
Some of the commentators now recall Zimbabwe.
Some people think of the analogy with Venezuela.
However, the abyss into which America gazed for so long that the abyss in response began to peer into America itself, in fact, before their eyes.
Its name is Ukraine, and what happened to Trump is just another stage in the further Ukrainization of American politics.
It began back in 2016 with the publication of an anonymous dossier by the British ex-spy Christopher Steele and has already led to the collapse of centuries-old institutions, the destruction of traditions, the destruction of written and unwritten rules.
Including the rules of decency.
And of course, the destruction of common sense.
The four years of Trump's presidency, which were mediocrely spent on squabbles and witch hunts, are also remembered for the degradation of the entire system of international relations.
Two senseless impeachments against him, the scandalous elections of 2020, the honesty of the results of which even two years later half the country doubts, the storming of the Capitol on January 6 by a raging mob - all these are direct results of this scandalous Ukrainization.
In Ukraine, after all, everything did not start right away either.
First there were trials, then landings began.
Friends - everything, enemies - the law.
This is how Yanukovych acted, settling scores with Tymoshenko.
But already at the next turn, the “Maidan” leaders will reject this principle as well, turning to outright violence and pure lawlessness.
With regard to Yanukovych himself.
It did not happen without the extreme politicization of the law enforcement system, when one of those “leaders” Yuriy Lutsenko turned out to be the head of the Prosecutor General's Office.
And here, too, amazing rhymes and intersections.
After all, it was Lutsenko's predecessor Viktor Shokin that Joe Biden called a "son of a bitch", demanding his dismissal.
The real reason for this dissatisfaction, as it turned out later, was that he was asked to withdraw from the investigation into the oil and gas company Burisma Holdings.
One of the leading positions there was occupied by Hunter Biden, the son of the former US Vice President.
Since the fall of 2020, when the contents of Biden Jr.'s laptop were at the disposal of the FBI, terabytes of various kinds of compromising information on the son of the US president have leaked into the public domain.
And it's not just dirty laundry.
The American press is already openly writing about corruption at the very “top of the city on the hill”.
No searches at Biden Jr.
No agendas.
No FBI agents or drug enforcement agents.
And this, of course, is also the same Ukrainization.
What is the real reason behind the attack on Trump?
Is the Deep State striking back by trying to tie Trump hand and foot in advance?
Is this reconnaissance in combat on the eve of the decisive three months that remain until the November midterm elections?
Self-activity of individual security officials, who really want to please the “democratic” establishment, or the tricks of this very establishment, which feels a direct threat to its power?
The reason may be one, two or several at once.
But the outcome is more important.
And the end result of any Ukrainization is “Maidan” colored with flashes of primitive bonfires.
The execution place of the idea of any state.
The point of its final dismantling, and not “reassembly”, as it is temptingly explained over and over again to the extras gathering on the “Maidan”, from which (and this is at best) it is possible to put together a tribe.
And never the people.
A city on a hill cannot stand on Bald Mountain.
Moreover, he cannot shine on her.
