    For my birthday, we get an FBI manhunt in the area! The interstate is shut down just a bit north of here. Apparently, a guy with a gun threatened the FBI office about 5 miles from me.

    You wouldn't think he'd get out of there alive. I wonder if it has anything to do with the search.

      Wouldn't be too surprising...

          That'll show those evil corrupt bastards!

          I wonder what he thought he was communicating by waving a gun at the FBI. Oh well, he'll have 50 years in stir to contemplate that.

                    Place your bets... my bet is that the classified secret documents are too classified to talk about, but they have been retrieved. Charges against Donald Trump, if any, are under discussion and not yet finalized.

                        Behind a paywall, but NYT says that Trump was subpoenaed before the raid search.

                          40 minutes late and crickets. That does not look good on DOJ.

                            They are trying to unseal the search warrant. That's good. Nothing else of substance. Standard righteous boilerplate at the end about how the Justice Dept is above reproach and how dare anybody question those self -sacrificing angels of propriety.

                              That was implied by Garland, when he said that before a search warrant is pursued, less intrusive avenues are exhausted.

                                    Principled leaders never apologize for or acknowledge unprincipled behavior within their organization. These are advanced theories of principled behavior that are probably beyond most, but you'll just have to trust those who are expert in principle to define the way in which principled people act.

                                        He made it clear that he wouldn't have said anything if left to his druthers. He wants his court filings to speak for the department. He was behind a microphone under protest and as a principled person, who needed to make public his defense of his unfairly maligned department. I don't think anybody expected him to say anything of substance, and he made clear that his intent is to never say anything of substance going forward, beyond public court filings.

                                          All of this that he purports to release to the public - and I won't hold my breath - should have been ready to go the day they did this raid. The backlash was completely predictable and unnecessary. Why...it's almost like they WANT us up in arms and at each other's throats.
