Mar-a-Lago raided
-
Yet every criminal defense lawyer knows that search warrants are issued routinely and less critically than candy is distributed on Halloween; judges rarely exercise real discretion or real supervision.
Ken White disagrees, saying that a federal judge signing off on a warrant is nothing like that of a local/state judge.
I posted popehat's thread above.

"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.

Yes and for the same reason. Dumb at least.
DON’T let them eat cake.

If you're going to make that kind of statement, you better have iron-clad evidence.
Unless, of course, you're speaking to the public and not the court.

It's worth noting that Trump doesn't exactly have a stellar record in his choice of attorneys.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

There are so many responses queued up...
A simple LOL will have to suffice.

@Horace - One guy at the DOJ did and got a felony conviction for his efforts.

The FBI has been shown to have faked evidence in the past, in its pursuit of Trump. Not that I think it's plausible that they'll do it with this sort of spotlight on the situation, but let's be fair to those who don't trust this process.
That is a charitable argument. I’m curious if you would apply the analogous version of it to the jury in the OJ case too.

You quoted me saying I don't think it's plausible that they'll plant evidence in this situation. I am trying to humanize those who might have suspicions in that direction, perhaps unsuccessfully. I'm trying to encourage us all to have more compassion for others. It's important to me, one of my primary principles. Caring for others.
Education is extremely important.

Fair enough. And it’s a charitable view. An analogous argument can be and was used in defense of the OJ jury. I was curious if you’ve applied it to them.

The thing to remember when listening to her is that she knows exactly what the FBI was looking for and why, and presumably what they found, at least of her client’s team is being honest with her.
So the fact that she’s casting aspersions is not a good sign for team Trump. She’s pretending to speak in hypothetical terms, but she almost certainly knows what they found.
Popcorn, please.

What, that people have emotions around bad cop behavior? As an inhabitant of reality, I acknowledge that in all situations.

The Dersh speaks:
I don’t know why people listen to Dersch or Tribe on the left. They’re simply old guys who harvested their former reputation in service of partisan ends. They are literally paid partisan shills.

Also their messaging pretty much guarantees this isn’t merely about classified docs. After all, they have a defense for that - the president is the ultimate authority on classification and can declassify anything at will.
The “they planted evidence” messaging that they are rolling out means this is about very specific crimes.
