Ferguson has said over and over he views conservatives to be evil and people who vote Republican to be less moral than those who vote democratic.

So it is a valid question to ask him

If you are fine with 10 year-old rape victims being forced to give birth, you are less moral.

Depending on what was seized and the Republican's insane reaction, it could help remind people that the GOP is insane. The Clown-In-Chief is doing this:

Well this is reminding people how much the GOP is a Trump cult.

Reminder that Trump has gone through multiple Democrat investigations and not ONCE been found guilty or even indicted.

Trump is invincible. Also, abolish the FBI.

Reminder that Hillary has gone through multiple Republican investigations and not ONCE been found guilty or even indicted.

OK, here is some real beef in my book rather than padding. Andy writes for a conservative albeit Trump skeptical rag, but he is a very smart lawyer with common sense who is most definitely not a hack, or to put it another way, his take and mine on matters largely coincide.

Yes, the pay wall shuts me out too, but I suspect his thesis, is that yeah, nobody would be such a drama queen over where a bunch of boring paper that nobody will ever read is stored, and so thus the game being hunted is much more significant. It seems to me the idea is to find out what Trump and the hard core kooks were talking about when, you know, like Steve Bannon.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/08/the-fbis-mar-a-lago-raid-its-about-the-capitol-riot-not-the-mishandling-of-classified-information/?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=article

That is a good point. If the documents seized were random things Trump took without much significance, you'd like he or his lawyers would have worked with the FBI to return them and not go the route of a raid. I don't think this is any type of partisan attack where Biden used the FBI to go after Trump. Perhaps there is more to this.

Yeah, there's no way this is a partisan attack. Biden is smarter than that, knowing that it *would* come out one way or another if he was somehow involved or pushed for this. He's been in the game long enough to know to stay out of the DOJ's business.

It wasn't politically motivated unless the DCCC was in charge today.

Where was all this outrage from the right when Hillary was being investigated by the REPUBLICAN led FBI in 2016??

The Public knew what she was being investigated for. If this turns out to be espionage I will take back what I said in this thread btw but we need to know the info

Trump could release the warrant.

I really love how the current "defense" being offered by Republicans isn't even that Trump is innocent. They're just straight up admitting that they think the President should be above the law.

If you had your way , many members of the Bush admin would have been arrested and even many members of other admin and our foreign policy would be crippled .

Should John Bolton be arrested for admitting he was part of plans of regime change operations in other nations

No, he shouldn't but that's different from having possession of plans about a future planned regime change in Iran or something. Also very few Democrats actually supporting sending the Bush family to jail outside of a few clueless terminally online leftists.

That is cause they knew though that if you did try to prosecute Bush on some technicalities it would open the door for every president to be prosecuted . BTW this does not mean Trump can’t be prosecuted under what I believe cause :

1. If this rises to the level of espionage than yes he should be prosecuted

2. He is also under investigation for trying to illegally overturn the election both Federally and in Georgia and I think this is something presidents obviously should be prosecuted for as well




He can't be prosecuted if they don't investigate him. The FBI is an independent agency run by a Republican.

This probably helps Trump politically in the short-term. Literally the majority of the GOP is coming to his aid as a result of this.

Obviously the cult is going to circle the wagons on this, no matter how inconsistent it's making them look, but can they really expect everyone else outside of their hive-mind to feel the same? I personally doubt it for a litany of reasons. And that's not even considering the threats of violence we'll probably see against FBI field offices all across the country. That'll certainly reflect well on Trump and the GOP.



*Slams head on desk*

Exactly like this!

It's only been two days since the FBI raid and I've already run out of GOP Hypocrisy BINGO cards to fill out.

Wait, I thought the judge was a conservative appointed by Trump? Which is it?

Reinhart is a magistrate judge, who get appointed by district judges.


Newsweek reports though:

Quote
Reinhart has also previously donated to both Democratic and Republican political campaigns. In 2008, he gave $1,000 to former President Barack Obama's campaign and a further $1,000 to the Obama Victory Fund.

In 2016, Reinhart donated $500 to the presidential campaign of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination that was eventually won by Trump.

It speaks of Maggie Haberman's want of her Trump-era relevance that she got a Trump post 0 minutes after it was posted.

I highly doubt this angle as I doubt the Saudis would even be willing to entertain such an offer this given if they did it would permanently destroy US Saudi Relations and I doubt the Saudis would be willing to risk this.
The same Saudi government that is *allegedly* linked to the 9/11 hijackers?

Disgusting but it’s also stunning  how they don’t understand Pinochet was literally the Chilean version of the “deep state” overthrowing a populist leader .



I mean these people are on a Trump forum.

Rep. Mike Turner offers up excuse #54… or #55?  I lost count some time ago.


Ed O’Keefe followed up on Turner’s comments by asking “what use could a former president have for classified or top secret information once he’s left office? Why bring it home with him to Florida?”

“Well, I don’t know. I mean, you have to ask him,” Turner answered. “But certainly, we all know that every former president has access to their documents. It’s how they write their memoirs."

Don't you Atomic Land by Obama, Missile Points by Bush, or My Nukes from Clinton? My Life In Nuclear And Other Secrets by Bush Sr?

More people have security clearance than you'd think. You could probably assemble a jury from that.

Not a jury of your peers though.

Boris Johnson, Al Capone, and Andrew Tate are unavailable.

According to George Galloway

https://twitter.com/georgegalloway/status/1560582293860691968

Incredible the fact many tankies like to make an alliance with Magas to undermine democracies.

The weird strain of leftism that views all intelligence agency operations as inherently illegitimate is so out of touch with reality that it's hard to even comprehend it. It's the same nonsense that leads Glenn Greenwald to end up supporting Bolsonaro.

When in doubt, blame the CIA!

They do know of them but only as of week ago or so.

It's even more funny and terrifying in that they are just blindly following whatever Herr Douchebag tells them to do.

Well I guess that settles the question of whether outsiders had access to these documents.



Trump's lawyers are so incompetent I now believe he keeps classified papers on his floor.

When this is the new talking point, it's pretty obvious where they think it's going.

“The Democrats may decide they prefer a wounded Trump with an indictment hanging over his head to an indicted defendant.” More projection from the Republicans, conflating enforcing the law with their own political goals.

DOJ should absolutely appeal after the nuclear docs revelation. That judge is making a mockery of this now.


While I do agree the DOJ should appeal, I don't see the connection you have drawn. Perhaps you could help the old man out.

The situation got worse. The nuclear secrets of another country, possibly a close ally, were confirmed to be in the possession of someone who peruses them with cheeto dust covered fingers and sells it to the Saudis.

Hey that is but 30 minutes away by Path and subway. Maybe I should show up as an "Atlas reporter). But alas in a couple of days it's  time to return to Hudson before the holdings are claimed by virtue of adverse possession. Otherwise, I might call the court to ask if therapy dogs are allowed in the courtroom. Otherwise, the balance of the pack would have to forage o  their own for pizza slices left on the sidewalk. Lots of pizza in this set of zip codes.

I mean it's not wrong. Plenty of people get most of their political news from Atlas.
