CNN's website seems to feel Trump is being victimized by the FBI

CNN seems to feel it was wrong to execute the warrant and that they should have just asked Trump/Cohen for the documents. That they should never have done a warrant. They feel he is a victim. Three words: fuck off CNN!

Trump is "upset" about Michael Cohen raid, source says
From CNN's Pamela Brown
President Trump is "upset" about the FBI raid because it happened to his personal attorney, according to a source close to the President.

The feeling from the President and those close to him is that federal officials should have asked for the documents first before executing a search warrant and they're indignant by the way it has been handled. The source said Michael Cohen has been cooperating with investigators all along.

Earlier tonight, Trump, speaking to reporters, slammed the FBI raid on Cohen's office and hotel room, calling it a "disgraceful situation" and "an attack on our country."

"I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys. Good man. And it's a disgraceful situation. It's a total witch hunt," Trump said.

Who gives a fuck what the turd feels??? His lawyer being under investigation is the story here. Did the media report as the main story how OJ felt about Ron and Nicole dying??? Unbelievable bias here!!

Of course he's upset. How is it wrong for CNN to report that, or what he said? It was an evident fact.

rather than thought; the more upset he gets the more likely he is to do something dumb.

it reads like pretty straight forward reporting. The article correctly reports that it was an indignant Trump, not CNN, who felt that "federal officials should have asked for the documents first before executing a search warrant".

Maybe you misread it?

Just reporting his feelings in a very sympathetic way. The entire live updates page looks like it was written by Trumps PR office: not to mention their headline that America was under attack on the main site. That's the biggest takeaway from this that CNN takes???
