Hmm ... haven't heard anything about the Mar-A-Lago raid being related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Just a random comment about how the FBI conducts investigations. The Epstein computer sat on his desk for days after the warrant was executed. When the FBI returned, the computer was gone.

Wonder how that happened.

If they don't find anything credible... We could be in for a ton of shit.

They could find Jimmy Hoffa and we’d still be in for a bunch of shit. It’s a given

Statement of DJT: "These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States."

Feeling cornered, Donald?

But wait, there's moar!

"I stood up to America’s bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it."

What does this even mean???

Can there be any doubt that he's gone round the bend for real?

Well, I reckon we ain't too far off from shootin' people.

If Mr. Biden wants to start a war, I guess it's between America vs. China, or America vs. American citizens. Seeing as how China has already bought him, that leaves only American citizens.

The FBI director is a Trump appointee.

True. But the Attorney General to whom he reports is not.

[jon-nyc]

This didn’t happen without Wray’s approval.

[Catseye3]

Does it matter? If this story is true, can you feature this happening to him at the height of his power?

I think he's diminished, and I think the frantic note of his Message above shows that he knows it, at some level.

True again.

That sound you hear was a wink.

Not saying there’s no there there, but if its about classified records, well, wink again.

[jon-nyc]

It wouldn’t be about the mere existence of classified records at ML. They wouldn’t do this unless they were looking for something specific and had a very good idea it was there.

Dont they (law enforcement) have to give the judge a pretty good idea of what they are looking for and what they think will be there?

[jon-nyc]

Sure but this would have much much more scrutiny than the average investigation. The bar would be much higher.

Lock ‘em up.

Is it too late to copyright the phrase “Orange is the new orange”

[jon-nyc]

It’s interesting that this didn’t leak, even after the fact. Trump essentially broke the story himself.

[Catseye3]

@jon-nyc That was my very first thought also: Wow, they were reeeaaally close-mouthed on this. Might be a Washington DC first. Kind of lends weight to your observation that there must be some heavy stuff to find -- as well as somebody's determination to do so.

[Jolly]

This decision was made in Garland's conference room. It's politics, worthy of a banana republic.

The Justice Department is corrupt and we are lurching into a post-Constitutional country. It is very evident that blind justice does not exist, that who is harassed and investigated depends on political affiliation.

I don't care what you think of Trump, this is chilling. Remember, the worm always turns...And paybacks are hell. That's not a good way to run a country.

[jon-nyc]

@Jolly Seems like we need more information before we can decide if this is worthy of the “banana republic” appellation.

@jon-nyc said in Mar-a-Lago raided:

Are you trying to apply this to Hillary, with her destroying classified documents or the Clintons sending Berger into the National Archives to stuff documents into his underwear?

[jon-nyc]

I’d be happy to apply it to both of our candidates from 2016.
