    Wow! He said not to tell anyone so you all have to promise not to say anything. But…he said there is compelling evidence that Trump is connected to Dewey’s Facebook post.

      Well of course it has to do with classified documents, this was never going to be a drug bust.

      Agreed. But "classified" has a wide definition. Are we talking "national security" classified or "evidence of a crime" classified?

      To be clear, the distinction I’ve made above about overreach is whether they conducted the raid simply because there are classified documents there, or if they believe specific documents will implicate someone in specific federal crimes.

      The Dersh disagrees (if you watch the video). His point is that a warrant for a raid should only be issued if a subpoena will not suffice or if there's fear of the evidence being destroyed. I'm not sure if that's the case, or, for that matter, if a subpoena was ever issued.

        His point is that the process was not followed. There should have been subpoenas issued (and perhaps they were, I don't know) before staging a raid. Perhaps that's what your meaning of overreach is.

              Given the precedent, the predictable response of the target, and the potential for outrage if things go the way of Geraldo's safe, I have to imagine a high degree of confidence that what they sought would actually be there. I'm sure the judge involved will be doxed

                From USA Today:

                Top takeaways from the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago:

                The raid marks an escalation in law enforcement scrutiny of the former president.
                Legal analysts say this would have been approved at the highest levels of law enforcement.
                Under the law, any search would need to be authorized by a federal judge after finding probable cause that a crime had been committed and that evidence of the crime exists in the location to be searched.

                  Now, what happens if there is no "there", there?

                  Or if the violation is so trivial when compared to past violations it appears as purely politically driven?

                    Interesting. I mean, I think it was known, or at least supposed, that President Trump left the White House with material he was not supposed to. It should have been easy enough to say to him, "hey, not sure if you were aware, but some of the material you took has to stay in the Archives. We will send a truck down to pick them up. Appreciate your cooperation."

                    So, Präsident Trump had to know there were questions about what he took. Why would he not give them back? Is it something that puts him in a bad view? If so, i would have think he would have just destroyed it. 🤷

                      I redd in another source that the Archives in fact did request at length for Trump to return the items after he left office, and finally reported his non-response to Justice.

                      As for why he didn't give them back, the answer to that is, because he's Trump and he didn't want to and if he doesn't want to do something he doesn't do it. Because he's Trump.

                      If it's proven that he did destroy documents rightfully belonging to the Archive, then he's in the soup. Like he is for so many other things.

                            Sounds like a glorified library book return penalty. Just kidding, it’s not glorified.

                              I don't understand how anybody can determine whether this was warranted or not at this point.

                              If he does go to court, jury selection will be freaking hilarious - they'll have to ask non-Americans to take it on.

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      That would make sense. But if it’s true, there is no evidentiary smoking gun that instigated the warrant and we’re back to overreach and a roll of the dice that nobody will care, because Trump masterminded a coup.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        If he does go to court, jury selection will be freaking hilarious - they'll have to ask non-Americans to take it on.

                                          Sure would be nice if we could just trust our Law Enforcement to not be highly politicized and to not be punishing their political enemies, but we've seen so much from the FBI and Justice Department over the past 6 years that you just can't trust their motives or message.

                                          If the FBI hadn't had senior operatives that actively tried to undermine and entrap Candidate, President-Elect, and President Trump then we might be able to trust them.

                                          If the FBI hadn't run an absurd entrapment scheme revolved around kidnapping Governor Whitmer, maybe we could trust them.

                                          If the FBI hadn't tried to stage ridiculous fake rallies with fictitious right-wingers following January 6th, maybe we could trust them.

                                          If the Justice Department had treated various Republican Officials with the same respect in their arrests as they have Democrat Officials, maybe we could trust them. But they haven't.

                                          On the other hand, we have Donald Effin Trump. FFS...

                                          Is it too early in the day to start drinking?
