The raiding of an ex-president's home and personal office by the FBI, three months before an election, is a deeply shocking and jarring event - even by the standards of 2022.

When the news broke Monday evening, there was jubilation on the left and fury on the right.

Even 'Never-Trumpers' and voters who've cooled on Trump as a political figure were voicing their intense anger.

Political journalists and the White House were caught off guard by the news and there is a mad scramble to determine what this historic event means - both legally and politically – for Trump, the upcoming midterm election and the presidential election going into 2024.

I am not a lawyer. But I am a political analyst. And there are three things I know to be true:

Firstly, the American public has a historically low-level of trust in our institutions and the people who run them.

Call it the Deep State, the Swamp or whatever you please.

Disgust with the bloated, self-interested federal bureaucracy is a major reason why Trump was elected in the first place and why people want him to run for president again.

There is an overwhelming sentiment that the people in these institutions are corrupt, politically biased against conservatives and misuse their power for their own political purposes.

The ex-president of the United State is either about to be charged with a dramatic and possibly heinous crime by the FBI, or his supporters and Republicans alike are going to become so angry that the political ramifications will be felt like an atomic bomb in midterms and beyond (Above) Supporters of former President Donald Trump rally near his home at Mar-A-Lago on August 8, 2022

There is an understanding and belief among even the most moderate of Republicans that power has been abused for political gain and ultimately, if you are a conservative, they are out to get you and everything you believe in.

Secondly, we've been given valid reasons over the past five years to believe the FBI has politically motivated figures running it, and that the agency makes biased judgment calls.

If you don't believe me, feel free to watch FBI Director James Comey's news conference on the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server scandal just a few months before the 2016 presidential election.

Comey gave everyone the impression that Hillary Clinton was about to be charged with a crime.

He kept us on the edge of our seats – detailing the evidence of violations of the rules for handling classified information – only to say that no charges were appropriate.

Comey demolished long-standing Department of Justice rules that bar officials from going public with an investigation if they are not pursuing charges.

But King Comey – decided to do it his way.

And lastly, time and again I have been teased and titillated and made to believe Trump and his family have committed some form of illegal activity and would be prosecuted to the
