According to Donald Trump, the FBI searched his home because they thought he had Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Hillary Clinton isn’t under criminal investigation, so the FBI would have no reason to look for her emails.

Trump has been running the same playbook for the past seven years. He only has one or two moves. Discrediting the Justice Department has failed, so he has moved on to trying to blame Hillary Clinton for his removal of classified documents that found their way to his private residence.

In the same interview, Trump claimed that he could declassify documents by thinking about them. 

The Republican Party is set to hand its presidential nomination to this shell of a functional human being in less than two years.
