And, I mean, to quote Yogi Berra, it\u2019s deja vu all over again.<\/p>\n<p>What they\u2019re doing with President Trump last night, it\u2019s a fishing expedition. They\u2019re afraid of him politically still. They\u2019re trying to change the agenda for the fall elections. This is a pretty good agenda-changer, getting them focused on Donald Trump. The president\u2019s not going to let that happen.<\/p>\n<p>But what Biden has done \u2014 I mean, Senator Rubio said a few minutes ago on your show he\u2019s worried that the next people in line are going to be the supporters of Trump. They\u2019re already being attacked, the parents at school board meetings, victims of crimes, Border Patrol.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, America is under \u2014 under attack. The Biden administration is sending a signal to all of those supporters in the red states that we\u2019re going after your president, and we will go after you too.<\/p>\n<p>And the 80,000 to 87,000 IRS agents that are going to be hired, they\u2019re not going after \u2014 going to be in the blue states. They\u2019re going to be in the red states. So, this pattern that we\u2019re seeing here is what I experienced.<\/p>\n<p>And, in my book, I talk about how, if they\u2019re going to do it to me, just watch out, because they could come after \u2014 come after anybody, and they\u2019re doing that now. And going after the president yesterday, it was a fishing expedition. They did that to me. When they raided my home, they didn\u2019t know what they wanted.<\/p>\n<p>They went in \u2014 just like I have heard tonight on an earlier broadcast, they went into my wife\u2019s wardrobes. They went into all of mine. They didn\u2019t know what they\u2019re looking for. And, in the end, it was supposedly Russian collusion and FARA. There was nothing about any of that.<\/p>\n<p>They were just trying to find things. And they still couldn\u2019t, by the way. They had to go and break somebody and to get him to, because he\u2019d committed crimes, to lie, so that they could get me, to try and get me to turn on Trump, which I wouldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday on FNC\u2019s \u201cHannity,\u201d former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort reacted to the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump\u2019s home in Mar-a-Lago.
