A legal search warrant allowed FBI agents to search ex-President Donald Trump’s home at Mar-A-Lago.

We now next to nothing about why this was done. We do know there was convincing evidence of a crime or items related to a crime for a warrant to be issued. The FBI or Justice Department has not commented on what that crime they are investigating with this warrant or what they expect to find.

Yet despite the clear legality of this search many Republican politicians insisted this was an abuse of power similar to that of the Nazis or other dictatorial governments.

Here is a bit of advice often attributed to Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain. Of course, it is not about the current situation but it does seem appropriate.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
