Today in Virginia, the FBI, with a warrant from a federal judge, raided the office (and other places) connected to State Senator L. Louise Lucas. The government says the raid took place as part of a corruption probe.
The Democrats and their supporters are very disturbed at more corruption allegations against one of their own.

They're blaming Fox News and trying to say that the raid was because of Lucas' efforts during the Democrats' redistricting push to give Republicans zero representation in the state:

Trump's FBI just raided the office state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, the president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate and one of the most powerful Democrats in the state.
Lucas played a key role in the congressional redistricting fight that Democrats won.
Let’s not ignore the timing here.

Here’s another fact for “FactPost”: This investigation started under the Biden administration https://t.co/EJq2qiBoEV

We're going to go ahead and predict that many, many "journalists" will decide to leave that part out if their "reporting" for some reason.
Those pesky little details always interfering with the left's lies and gaslighting

Watching the Dems and their media enablers try to distract from -- or flat-out defend -- allegations of corruption is quite telling.
