Former president Donald Trump is using the FBI’s Monday “raid” on his home at Mar-a-Lago to solicit donations from his supporters. In a fundraising email, Trump implored his supporters to donate: “I will continue to fight for the Great American People. I need every single red-blooded American Patriot to step up during this time.” Trump ended the email by urging his supporters to “Please rush in a donation IMMEDIATELY to publicly stand with me against this NEVERENDING WITCH HUNT.” Trump is also sending texts asking supporters to donate.
Meanwhile, failed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used the unprecedented search as a fundraising opportunity for Onward Together, Clinton’s political action organization launched in 2017. As if pouring salt on Republicans’ wounds, Hillary jumped on social media and started hawking her products that brag about beating the rap on the FBI’s investigation into her email scandal. Hillary is promoting hats and shirts on her website that feature the caption, “But Her Emails.” The hats and shirts each go for $30. Hillary tweeted, “Every ‘But her emails’ hat or shirt sold helps @onwardtogether partners defend democracy, build a progressive bench, and fight for our values. Just saying!” According to Hillary, the hats sold out after her tweet but are now in stock again.
Comedian Tim Young responded to Hillary with this tweet:
Hillary is out here bragging that she nor Epstein client Bill will ever be raided by the FBI… because it's clearly a two tiered justice system.

The fact that Hillary is fundraising off of the “raid” on Mar-a-Lago when she’s also been the target of an FBI investigation is somewhat ironic — but Hillary has never been a woman with much self-awareness. She’s the same woman who used BleachBit (computer software used to destroy files permanently) to erase 33,000 emails that she kept on her private email server so that they would not get into the hands of the FBI. Clinton also had her staffers destroy her phones using hammers. However, as Young pointed out, Hillary won’t have to worry about a raid from the FBI. With the hyper-political Attorney General Merrick Garland at the helm of the DOJ, Hillary appears safe. And besides, where is the evidence?
