I have a sense this may motivate the Republicans.

Maybe but he's not on the ballot, at least not this Fall.

For the first time, I believe we will see large-scale political violence in this country in my lifetime.

Complete and total nothing burger. Of all the problems with Trump and his presidency, the fact that he put classified documents in his pocket is supposed to matter? A better question is why the government is so desperate to hide so much from people of the United States- and why the populace is fine with it.

OH YEAH!

LOCK.

UP!!!

This probably wouldn’t apply to the presidency since the qualification and disqualification rules are in the constitution and a law does not supersede that . Now a conviction for attempted insurrection could as their is a provision in the constitution that says those people are disqualified

I'm sure it doesn't bar him from serving if 270 electors vote for him, but maybe it bars him from filing to run and getting on ballots.

And? Who gives a damn what Republicans think.

The Cons can try and pull their bull••••, but they will fail against the US army and 55% of the population whose livelihoods they threaten.

Is it cause you want to shame blue avatars

So you view us as the villains

Do you understand the concept of sarcasm? Humor? Comedy?

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.

I don’t know why but I feel this will hurt Biden and the democrats in the midterm. People will blame them as a “political witch hunt” and use it to further the nonsense bothsidisms.

Or maybe I’ve just been around my dad for too long

More than half of voters think Trump should face indictment over Jan. 6: poll

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Not buying it until Trump actually gets charged because we have heard about this many times before but he already has interfered in the Election anyways he told Red leaning states to pass Voting Suppression laws, so if we lose in November it's partly the DOJ fault, until he is charged this is just noise

... Yes, of course.

Have you paid attention to literally anything I've ever said?

If there is one thing the far right absolutely will not stand for, it is apparently any form of accountability for their cult leader.

Republicans vow retaliation against Garland for following the rule of law.

He doesn't know what they've found. He doesn't know what charges, if any, the FBI will bring.

All he knows is that someone dared to go after the God King, and they'll pay for it.

The Republican Party is pathetic.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Well.  I went out for my evening walk and came home to find this.  What a development!

A request: please be civil to each other in your comments.  This is momentous enough that there's plenty to discuss without sniping.

OK, having caught up on the news, this is the most interesting point I've seen:

https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/1556796851831054336

A long time ago I worked in the defense contracting business, before I escaped into the real world.  I worked on a number of classified projects, and at one point was the contract security officer for the small company I then worked for.   So I know a little bit about this, although to be perfectly clear my knowledge is a few decades old, and far from the top levels of security.  It's quite possible that things have changed over the years, but back then I would agree that most incidents of mishandling classified material (deliberate or accidental) were not prosecuted. 

Such incidents would probably cause a person to lose a security clearance, and there might be additional disciplinary action at the personal level (getting suspended or fired) and/or company level (financial or other contractual penalities).  But the only situations likely to lead to a criminal prosecution either involved deliberate disclosure to a third party or contained evidence of some other crime (e.g. contract fraud).

Well they're not denying a raid took place which they almost certainly would have by now if it didn't happen.

I also just saw CNN apparently has stopped reporting it as "Trump says," so deleted my comment. Would still like some official confirmation, though!

[Crumpets]

Yeah, watch it turn out this article actually got it right way back when:
