    The FBI generally doesn’t raid the homes of people who have done nothing wrong. You’ll have to forgive me for thinking it should still go to trial.

          Yeah that doesn’t mean they’re not fucking cops, and thinking “they don’t raid innocent peoples houses” is pretty fucked imo. Regardless of what’s going on with this lady.
