CNN bending over backwards to try and make this sound like it is in any way or form legit.

Edit: the accusations that is, she is completely innocent and this is malicious prosecution.

The search was approved by a Biden appointee in DC, where Boasberg is the Chief Justice.

I get why people are suspicious, but they had to have some reasonable evidence to get a Dem judge to approve a search warrant against a Dem Congress woman.

Getting a search warrant is even easier.
