A Tucker Carlson moment….

Trump says they took his three passports. One was expired. How is it that he has two currently valid passports? Is one not American? Or is he issued a Green passport? If so why would he still have a regular passport?

Just asking.

Because he’s a wonderful bunch of guys?

Or maybe one for each of the people he loves the most

• me, myself, and I?

h/t to Quirt for a fairly well-balanced review of the legalities of the seizure of records. There's something for everyone in here.

@Copper

Thanks. That clears that question.

Very well presented. Thanks, it addresses a lot of questions.

All I can say is that it is murky pond into which this affair is leading.

Very clarifying by a writer concerned with evenhandedness in a matter that started out complex and is growing daily more so. Thanks to QT and Kluurs.

Theme sentence, IMO: "There obviously must be a point where information is so sensitive, and Trump’s disregard for law so extreme, to justify legal process against Trump, even in the current milieu."

[Jolly]

That would have to be an awfully extreme point.

To raid an ex-President's home is beyond the pale, especially the way it was done. If Justice doesn't come up with something big, I mean YUGE, Garland has to go. Wray has to go. And a Special Prosecutor needs to shake the bushes for Whitehouse involvement.

"As President, I will enforce all laws relating to classified information......

Nobody is above the law!"

Who said that? President (then candidate) Trump
LOL

Lacking specificity?

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

We are in different waters.

A river in Egypt, possibly?

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

Ask yourself, how do you get more Trump?

Which is what I said on day one. Dr. Frankenstein is reviving his monster.

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

I know, this concept is clearly unthinkable for some here, but....

I have no problem believing that. But I do wonder why they are refusing to release the affidavit.

If nothing comes of this, and it is looking like it will not thus far, they just gave him a big leg up on the nomination.
