"Nice Department of Justice you got there -- be a shame if something happened to it."From Raw Story:
https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-classified-documents-2657940945/
Shortly before Attorney General Merrick Garland publicly commented on the FBI search at Mar-A-Lago, "a person close" to Donald Trump reportedly reached out to the Department of Justice to deliver a message from the former president.
The New York Times reported that associate wanted Garland to know the search had enraged the former president's supporters, and Trump wanted to know how he could "reduce the heat," but MSNBC columnist Steve Benen said the meaning behind that offer was coming into focus.
"The message wasnt an explicit threat, per se, though Trump wanted the attorney general to know that, as far as the former president was concerned, the nation was outraged by the execution of a court-approved search warrant," Benen wrote. "Trump was apparently concerned about the consequences of the 'heat' and 'pressure.'"

the nation WAS NOT pissed off about the search, the MAGAt's are, and they don't account for the nation, polls have shown that the American public is in favor of the investigation into his crimes.
I've noticed that the closer the DoJ gets to Benedict, the more shrill and desperate he becomes, and after his latest rant on "truth social", he's really kicked into high gear in his desperation.
