Tuned into Fox. They're basically going with he thought he declassified the stuff and if it was such a big deal it would have been retrieved a lot sooner.

Of all the crazy and awful things Trump has done, I think this is the first one that has left me truly flabbergasted.

I anticipate the response from Team Trump will be something to the effect of either "it's a stretch to apply that statute to this case" or "when's the last time anybody's been prosecuted under this code?"

Bretibart and WSJ got the warrent at the same time.



Which suggests they were leaked by Trump insiders.  Why...?

I would assume that Trump world gave the warrant and inventory return document to the WSJ (which had just published a Trump friendly editorial on this issue), and Bretibart as press friendlies, to give them a head start over those evil twins, the NYT and WAPO. Breitbart does not know that the 14 days to execute a warrant is standard, and tries to ascribe sinister motives to that, and also that Garland's waiting three days to execute (as if Trump world was aware that the judge had signed the warrant), impeaches the notion that the documents were sensitive, rather than making sure that all the ducks were in a row and properly coreographed, before the swoop down. Bretibart when it comes to hiring attack dogs, does not hire the best. Instead of  pit bulls, it hires cocker spaniels that get lost on the way to their food bowls. Sad.

The whiplash from “how dare the FBI raid Mar-a-Lago” to “how dare the FBI not have raided Mar-a-Lago sooner” is Veep-esque.

Including, inter alia, e.g., documents that list all of the CIA moles in the Kremlin? If there really are hyper sensitive documents like that, Trump claiming that he declassified them all, so that he can tweet them out at his leisure, is not going to be credible, or be very flattering to him, or something.

So…maybe this won’t help the GOP in the midterms like I thought it would?

"Party leader under investigation for violating the espionage act" is perhaps not the headline you'd want if you work for the NRSC.

You can start the countdown until someone is arguing in favour of repealing the "antiquated" Espionage Act.

Politico reads almost as if it were the NYT on this one.

I could care less.
Just as long as they keep it away from DC (Capitol, White House, etc).

Gotta say folks, I am starting to think this one may have just been a bad egg from the jump. Starting to think maybe not the best choice for leader of the free world. Starting to think orange man bad, even.

That's fine. Let them ransack Mar-a-Largo. Doesn't bother me at all.

He hasn't been charged yet, if D's hold Congress in November expect Trump to be Prosecuted even if the Ds hold the Senate that's why Ds are rallying around Ryan, Beasley and Dings so D's can hold the Senate and have as many seats as possible the D's want the H too but it can be won back if we have 51/56 D Senators
