Trump is setting a trap for Democrats, and they’re walking right into it.
The DOJ likely already had all the evidence needed to indict Ilhan Omar (otherwise, a federal judge wouldn’t have authorized a search warrant this close to an election). If I had to guess, the indictments were ready to file weeks ago.
The raid today was bait to get Democratic candidates on the record supporting Omar. “I stand with Ilhan,” “Ilhan is the best of America,” etc.
When the DOJ unveils the indictments in two weeks, every Democrat publicly supporting her today has egg on their face. The trap is sprung right before Americans head to the voting booth.
This isn’t even 3D chess. It’s checkers-level political strategy, and the Democrats are still marching straight into it. They really are completely oblivious.

BTW, there’s no way this is about Ilhan’s dad’s visa application from 30+ years ago. HSI doesn’t play like that.
This is about one thing: Money.
Lot of Americans are going to quickly learn what a “hawala” is.
