On Wednesday morning the FBI raided the office of Virginia State Sen. L. Louise Lucas in what appeared to be a corruption investigation: 

The FBI searched the office of Democratic Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas on Wednesday morning, according to multiple media reports and news footage in front of her Portsmouth office.

The FBI confirmed it was “executing a court-authorized federal search warrant in Portsmouth,” but did not explicitly state a target of its probe or what it was investigating. The investigation is ongoing and there is no threat to public safety, the agency said.

The Associated Press and Fox News, citing anonymous individuals, both confirmed federal agents carried out the raid and Fox aired footage of federal agents at the office of the lawmaker, who is the state Senate’s president pro tem.

The Democrats are trying to make the raid all about retribution for Lucas' part in the Virginia redistricting effort, but her statement seems to be missing something about the actual allegations: 

What's NOT mentioned is the glaring part of that statement: 

Weird, right?

Also the media's trying to help the Democrats push the "this is because Lucas helped lead the recent Virginia redistricting efforts, but they're not going to be quick to point out another piece of information: 

We're going to be expected to forget about that detail.

Remember "no one is above the law"? The Democrats sure hope nobody does.

Lucas has been tripping over a lot of her previous posts lately.

OOF.
