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

Nobody is above the law!"

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.

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

[Mik]

Not after they were going on about doing it. If this is unprecedented, the reasons for it need to be clear. I just want to impose the same rigor on both parties.

[Doctor Phibes]

I can readily imagine the scenario that this raid was a total screw-up, and the FBI have once again acted like imbeciles.

I can also imagine the opposite, that Trump's really fucked up and taken something he shouldn't have.

We don't have the information to know which case is reality at this point.

I think both are possible.

1. The FBI has fucked up by the numbers on most things Trump. If nothing else, they need to answer some serious questions about equal justice under the law and SWAT techniques on non-violent crimes.
2. I doubt Trump packed his own boxes. It's pretty normal for something classified to follow an ex-President home. I also can see Trump arguing about whether he had the right to take a document. In either case, nothing except a clear and present danger to the Republic warrants a FBI raid. Send three or four guys in a van with a warrant and knock on the damn door.

[Mik]

I think both is the most likely scenario.

The judge who signed the warrant is considering releasing the affidavit.

Bring it on. It's the only way to justify this to the voters, or to reveal malfeasance.
