Mar-a-Lago raided

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

Fighting the release of the affidavit:

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?

Open another McDonalds near Mar a Lago?

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.

Well, the Popehat guy, who's an attorney, says it never happens. Doesn't that answer the question?
