    A couple of posts rom Ken WHite's (@popehat) feed:

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

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

      Tell me, Mr. Poophat, have you ever seen an ex-President's home raided?

            Y'all did notice Trump went up 4 points after his home was raided?

            Ask yourself, how do you get more Trump?

                  If he's actually done something that would justify the raid, then surely that's irrelevant?

                        Not after they were going on about doing it. If this is unprecedented, the reasons for it need to be clear. I just want to impose the same rigor on both parties.

                          I can readily imagine the scenario that this raid was a total screw-up, and the FBI have once again acted like imbeciles.

                          I can also imagine the opposite, that Trump's really fucked up and taken something he shouldn't have.

                          We don't have the information to know which case is reality at this point.

                            I think both are possible.

                            1. The FBI has fucked up by the numbers on most things Trump. If nothing else, they need to answer some serious questions about equal justice under the law and SWAT techniques on non-violent crimes.
                            2. I doubt Trump packed his own boxes. It's pretty normal for something classified to follow an ex-President home. I also can see Trump arguing about whether he had the right to take a document. In either case, nothing except a clear and present danger to the Republic warrants a FBI raid. Send three or four guys in a van with a warrant and knock on the damn door.

                              I think both is the most likely scenario.

                                The judge who signed the warrant is considering releasing the affidavit.

                                Bring it on. It's the only way to justify this to the voters, or to reveal malfeasance.

                                  Well, the judge has received a lot of heat for possible bias.

                                  I say release it.

                                      There will be no there there but for some technical illegalities that it was literally the judge’s job to not ignore. I’m sure there was a point for discretion about whether to pursue a search warrant, but that point was before the documentation landed on the judge’s desk. That point would have been where the bias came in, if any.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        Agreed, although I do respect operational or intelligence reasons to keep things secure until the investigation is either complete or at a stage where the revelation of details is appropriate.

                                        My prediction is there will be a very good reason why the FBI took this action, and there will also be a good portion of the country who won't care, even if there is a smoking gun. Biden won by 7 million votes and a Trump-defined landslide of electoral votes, but a good chunk of the country isn't swayed by those facts either.

                                          I know, but I keep hoping sanity will return to both sides, and particularly to the voters.

                                          We get the government we deserve.
