You know how mobsters talk about the FBI in movies and TV shows? How it’s always, “They’re persecuting us” and “It’s all a conspiracy” and just so indignant? Meanwhile as the audience, we are just watching them straight-up commit every crime they’re accused of and more? Don’t know why we thought of that just now… Anyway, onto Donald Trump‘s response to the raid on Mar-A-Lago!
As you no doubt have heard by now, Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida resort was raided on Monday by the feds, reportedly in search of documents the ex-POTUS had illegally removed from the White House. The National Archives and Records Administration had been trying to get certain classified documents back for months, apparently pretty serious stuff containing “national defense information”.

This week, former U.S. senator and “SNL” vet Al Franken is guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and since his whole thing is the intersection of comedy and politics, you can guess his monologue on Tuesday’s show was mainly about politics.In particular, he had some pretty good zings about the investigation of Donald Trump concerning the disgraced former president’s potential violations of federal laws concerning top secret information.
