YOUR OPINION: Misuse of political power

Mike Barnhill, Ashland

Dear Editor,

The effect of the FBI raid on Donald Trump's estate Mar-a-Lago is going to make him a martyr, says a former Justice Department official, requesting anonymity to talk more freely. "It's going to elevate Trump and push people toward him."

My personal view is he's correct in his assumption, but only to the effect that the voters favoring Trump will continue to vote for him, regardless of facts presented. However, those that view all the facts regarding the Jan. 6 committee's investigation must certainly agree that it's just another recently discovered Trump misuse of political power.

Agree or not?
