The FBI raided the Portsmouth, Virginia, office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, a Democratic leader in the state behind its redistricting victory, on Wednesday, ostensibly over corruption allegations.
Lucas, an 82-year-old great-grandmother, has been a frequent critic of Republicans and President Trump, and is an ally to Virginia’s Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. Fox News covered the FBI raid live.
Why even do it if you’re not going to make a spectacle of it? The whole point is to advertise Democrats as criminal and perp-walk them around to courts that will probably throw these shoddy cases out in a few minutes.
Republicans will end the 2026 campaign chanting “Lock Them Up”. And maybe this time they’ll actually mean it.

Hot tip: They always meant it. And they never, ever cared about “the law”.
Trump spent every waking moment of 2016 saying “Lock Hillary Up” and not a single split-second from 2017 to 2021 attempting to do so.
After?
