Donald Trump hints at legal action over Mar-a-Lago raid. Lawyers are already finding fault with his

Fourth Amendment defense.

Former President Donald Trump hinted at legal action concerning the Mar-a-Lago raid, but lawyers say his Fourth Amendment defense will likely fail.

In a post on Truth Social, on Friday night, Trump said that a "major motion" related to the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, will soon be filed.

Though the "major motion" is yet to be filed, lawyers are already saying his Fourth Amendment defense would likely fail.

And University of Texas Law professor Steve Vladeck wrote: "Wait until he finds out that SCOTUS has made it virtually impossible to sue federal law enforcement officers for even egregious violations of the Fourth Amendment."

His loyal worshipers will send the supposed 'billionaire' their very last dimes to "hold the FBI accountable for this outrage". Then they will complain they don't have any money because of Biden.

Lying traitor to his country steals Top Secret documents, then wails because he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

You deserve everything that's coming to you, Shit-For-Brains!

Then screams when the FBI starts to investigate and determine the damage done to the US.

Trump should face the harshest of punishments for his high crimes.

To his fans, that's as good as if he had filed something and won. In fact, that's the story they'll soon be telling themselves.

You mean TFG has no clue what he’s talking about and is just coming across like a fool again?

I got to say, I’m shocked.
