We knew this was going to happen. That doesn't make it acceptable. The correct response in this situation is not to say "well, they were mean to him, therefore he gets to hit them back". It's to notice that he committed crimes, too many to count, and came very close to actually facing the bare minimum of consequences for them - and now he's throwing a fit and turning himself into a dictator so that that can never happen again. There is no tit-for-tat, both-sides-do-it in this situation. It's a criminal continuing his criminal enterprise, but now even more blatantly.

> Russia Hoax

There was no Russia "hoax". There are a few basic facts that no serious person disagrees with:

1. Russia very clearly interfered in the 2016 presidential election, in a number of ways, including internet disinformation and an actual hacking campaign to steal and then selectively leak DNC internal documents.

2. Said interference was blatantly in favor of Trump.

3. At least some members of the Trump campaign were aware of and encouraged, if not actively participated in, those attacks. Several high-ranking campaign officials, including Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, and George Papadopoulos either pled guilty or were convicted at trial for related felonies.

4. According to Robert Mueller, a lifetime Republican and respected investigator, as detailed in the entirety of volume II of his report, Donald Trump personally obstructed justice - that is, perpetrated a cover-up - in an attempt to prevent American law enforcement from determining the truth or extent of Russia's involvement in his election victory.

Had Trump not been president, he would have been indicted at the time. Had Republicans in Congress not been either spineless or implicated in the same corruption, he would have been impeached and removed from office. Had he not spent four years stacking the justice system with unqualified political hacks, or had Merrick Garland had a proper grasp on the severity of the situation, he would have been indicted and convicted immediately upon leaving office.

You can find people on the left making statements that are not in evidence, like "Trump and Putin conspired together to..." or "Trump didn't really win in 2016 because Russia hacked the voting machines", etc., etc. Many of those things go too far. But the idea that there was Russian interference in the election, and that the Trump campaigns were not just beneficiaries but willing participants in it, is not in any way a "hoax". It's as close to a proven fact as it is possible to get.

> raided Trump’s properties

With a duly granted warrant, after a lengthy period of requesting that he return stolen national security documents peacefully.

> refused to release any details about his assassination attempts

I don't know what this is possibly referring to. The FBI gave statements when they learned things - see e.g. https://www.fbi.gov/news/speeches/fbi-pittsburgh-special-age.... There just wasn't that much to know.

> I just think it’s hilarious that no one thought of Trump won that he wouldn’t go after them.

Well yeah, but again, that's not because he's justified, it's because he's both a criminal and a petty, vindictive egomaniac. It's unprecedented for the FBI to spend so much time attacking a president, but that's because it's unprecedented for a president to spend his entire campaign and time in office doing nothing but constantly commit crimes.

If we lived in a society governed by functioning rule of law, there would be no way for Trump to "go after" FBI agents. The mere idea of firing someone for having investigated you fairly in the past should itself be disqualifying from any position of power. Of course, Trump is now going to instruct the FBI and the rest of the DOJ to actually go perform witch hunts, so the next Democratic administration (presuming there is such a thing) will have to fire his appointees and unwind all of those investigations... and the media will dutifully report on it as just a thing that happens now between political parties, and the neutrality of the justice department will be a thing of the past.
