Mar-a-Lago raided

We used to say “it’s always the coverup”.
But when you’re sufficiently incompetent it’s both the crime and the attempted coverup.

Yup.
If he had been smarter he would have used hammers, or Bleachbit, or even a cloth.

That phrase pretty much sums up the last 7 years.

Former President Donald Trump has voluntarily dismissed the $500 million federal lawsuit he brought against his former attorney Michael Cohen, according to court records.
The notice, filed Thursday, states that the lawsuit will be thrown out "without prejudice," a distinction that provides Trump the option to refile it later.
Days after his first criminal indictment came down in April, Trump sued Cohen — the key witness in his New York hush-money case and ongoing fraud trial — for a half billion dollars in the Southern District of Florida. He had been scheduled for a deposition by Cohen's lawyer, which he had pushed back twice, on Monday.
The deposition was first scheduled for Sept. 6, but Trump postponed it. After a judge rescheduled it for Oct. 3, Trump pushed back the date again on the grounds that he had to attend court for his civil fraud case in New York.
U.S. District Court Judge Edwin Torres then rescheduled the deposition for a second time for Oct. 9, which is now void.
Cohen's attorney E. Danya Perry said in a statement to The Messenger that Trump dropped the case to avoid facing her questioning. -

I assume that's boilerplate. I'm not clear how it changes an FBI officer's decisions, to have been told they are "authorized to use deadly force when necessary". I mean any LEO is authorized to use deadly force when necessary. Otherwise, they wouldn't give them guns.

As I said. The right wing media is running with this nothing burger. I got an email about it from some list I never intentionally subscribed to.

It's not a nothing burger.
It's a former fucking President of the United States. Period.
I'd like to know...Was deadly force authorized when Biden's home was searched?

According to Shipley, former fed prosecutor, now defending ~50 Jan 6 defendants, it's SOP.

Good question. I don't even know if there was a warrant.

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

Reminds me of this piece I came across recently.

Recent Unsealed judge document about the raid:
“Two months after the former president yielded 38 unique classified documents to the government on June 3, 2022, the government discovered over 100 additional classified documents stored in Mar-a-Lago during execution of the August 8, 2022 search warrant that the former president had failed to deliver,” the opinion stated.
“The documents were classified to levels as high as TOP SECRET, with some documents bearing additional sensitive compartment indications; undoubtedly, these documents contained national defense information.”
“More classified-marked documents still were uncovered in November 2022 in a leased storage unit, in December 2022 in the Office at Mar-a-Lago, and apparently sometime thereafter in the former president’s own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago.”
