News Trump: Mar-a-Lago just raided by FBI

[Fanatical Meat]

DOJ called their bluff. Wonder how Trump's lawyers can argue to keep it sealed?

All the Pubs that were quick to defend Orange Julius Caeser could have mass egg on their faces That includes Ron DeShitface

Here’s how Machiavellian the move is, the Judge likely to approve or deny unsealing the warrant is the Judge who has been receiving threats from MAGA.
However I suspect it will remain sealed.
Appears the former President is really concerned Jared and possible Ivanka have flipped.

Not sure if the confusion over declassification of nuclear documents was straightened out but The President can't declassify them on his own. They are a special case of classification.

It's also not traditionally done retroactively, after you've been caught storing them illegally.

That seems foreboding.

 

[eelw]

Hmm the rats actually do have a point they won’t cross? But here’s hoping these nuclear documents isn’t just something giving only benign info like total number of weapons without location. Anything else has to be considered treason.

Imagine what the DOJ has on those 2, lol.

"Well, guess all our deeds are about to be rather public"

Well, $2 billion from the Sauds over 4 years and with no delay between exchanges, personally to the Kushner family without any real public information as to what was exchanged....there's basically 1 or 2 possible options.

Something on the news and his old lawyer more or less confirmed they would likely be of concern.
First they’ve been trying to detangle their brand from Trump
Second Jared is terrified of going to jail because of his family history
Third particularly Jared kept a low profile post election loss

Republicans are being remarkably silent right now.

Apparently Trump’s people told Republicans to back off attacks on law enforcement because they aren’t sure what other incriminating things may come out.

Judge Jeannine or whatever her name is started drinking early today

the date on this is hilariously scary

They’ve done that before. I remember an Onion article right after George W was elected where they had him say he was going to get us into at least 1 maybe two Gulf War sized conflicts and also crash the economy. It was basically a prophecy.

edit found it.

Can't wait to see what's DOJ next move(s), now that we have hard facts on Trump's illegal action(s) and it is treason territory if they can prove there was/planning knowledge transfer.

This and the 1/6? There isn't enough internet popcorn for this.

This is like a high stakes poker game. If the FBI didn't find what they were after this was one of the most wondrous things could have landed in the lap of Trump and the Republicans ... almost too perfect like a set up.

Wtf ... NUCLEAR ???

Analysis: Report that FBI sought nuclear documents sharpens Trump showdown with Justice Department

A report that FBI agents searched for classified documents related to nuclear weapons at Donald Trump's Florida resort could explain the urgency of the unprecedented operation at the home of an ex-President and takes his showdown with the Justice Department to a grave new level.

www.cnn.com

I mean yea ... that's probably worth a few rubles....​

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I’m no legal scholar.
Does releasing the warrant even need to be more complicated than:
The FBI wants them unsealed, the former President agrees in text (obviously the post would need to be verified as in the former President says it on camera or something similar)

Could the judge say okay everyone agrees fuck it documents are released as of now?

Donald Trump fires back at AG Merrick Garland over FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid: 'Release the documents now!'

Former President Donald Trump has approved of the Justice Department's release of a search warrant and a property receipt used during their raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Yeah. The FBI have better found them or we're going to have total R control across the board by 2024. On the other hand, if the FBI did find actionable nuclear documentation then nobody will really have to worry about Trump again.

I sincerely doubt that, this is mostly asymmetric risk for Trump. If they do have something serious to convict him on it's bye bye for him. If it turns out to be piddly shit that's bad news for the FBI but nobody is going to give a shit by 2024.

Trump may have said "release them" in public, but his lawyers have not officially responded to the Judge in the courtroom.

(I think he was doubling down on the sarcasm)

*WHOOSH SQUARED*

I think you underestimate Republican messaging where they repeatedly whack the same thing over and over and over ... and over and over and over again some more. But OK. lol

I remember people saying the same thing about the Mueller report and I think we would all agree that had essentially zero impact on the 2020 election.

Again I’m no legal expert but cnn has something about Trump lawyers have until 3PM today to respond.

Yes, and he will almost certainly delay as long as possible. Much fewer people reading news on Friday afternoon/evening than Friday morning.
