Trump: "they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys."

No. They did not. They got a legitimate warrant and seized documents from Michael Cohen. Using the words, "broke in", is designed to trigger his supporters to think that what they did was illegal.

--On Edit--
Contrast that to his support of stop and frisk which is indeed a constitutional violation of search and seizure. His supporters love law enforcement when it's used against "those people" over there. Not me.

Cohen was the attorney for The Trump organization, as well as holding an executive position with the organization.

"This is against everything we stand for."

No, it's not. What we actually stand for as a nation is the rule of law, and the fact that no one is above that law - not even a treasonous fake pResident and his criminal cohorts.

If "they" had "broken in", that would be an easily provable crime.* Not that Trump's ignorant base would know the difference, or care.

*Edit: And without a search warrant, all records seized would be inadmissible. The FBI, unlike tronald dump and his rabid base of racist hillbillies, is not that stupid.
