With the release of the search warrant and not the affidavits for the warrant, the door to speculation has only widened.
U.S. House Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who seemingly hates former president Donald Trump, has jumped on with his own speculation, convicting Trump in his mind for his constituents and fans with lacking evidence.
Swalwell rushed to judgment, condemning the former president and warning “those on the Trump Train” not to “be in the wreckage” shared to Twitter:
“If you’ve been aboard the Trump Train the last 7 years, you’ve been given an unexpected stop. Time to get off. Wherever you think this is going, it’s not. Trump stole Top Secret documents. He’s put a target on the backs of cops. This is getting ugly. Don’t be in the wreckage.”

Earlier before the search warrant was released he admitted, “I don’t have the slightest clue what the FBI found at Trump’s home”. He then went on accusing, not the DOJ but Trump of hiding the warrant, “Why Trump is hiding the warrant from us.”
Swalwell then went on to attack anyone taking the defense of the former president even though all the reporting has been mere speculation. He was specifically targeting House Republicans as he shared a video from a press conference with his tweet. “But imagine seeing consistent reporting that Trump possessed nuclear secrets and seeing it as your job to defend Trump by attacking the FBI.”

Swalwell has for the entirety of Trump’s political career seemed to suffer what some call “Trump derangement syndrome”, despising the former president and clinging to every effort to discredit or ruin him.
Swalwell seems to enjoy creating banter with those on the “Trump Train” and it may be how he fundraises, using his online battling to show his supporters he detests Trump as much as they do.
The speculation from Swalwell is not based on completely unfounded data, but he is taking wording from the search warrant, running with it, and going to his happy place. A place where the former president is found guilty of some crime and could face jail time just from the sounds of his tweets.
The reports from many media outlets are that Trump may have been in violation of the Espionage Act, at least that was part of the reason for the raid on his Mar-A-Lago home.
While we wait for more concrete information the speculation will abound and it appears that many on the left will convict the former president before anything is really known.
