@Catseye3 Hard to even speculate without knowing the contents of the docs.

@jon-nyc

I bet somebody somewhere knows.

[jon-nyc]

A bunch of FBI agents do.

[Copper]

If they don't, they'll just make it up.

I had dinner last night with a friend who is…well connected at DOJ. Like really well connected. First thing he said was joking-serious…don’t ask him about what he knows about mar-a-lago.

You shouldn't ask me what I know, either.

Or forge it.

You know you’re in a cult when you think the idea that the leader is innocent is not falsifiable, even when the crime is entirely in character.

[Jolly]

You know you're in a cult, when you don't care that your nation's justice system has been perverted.

[jon-nyc]

@Jolly

I’m perverted, and I never see the justice system at the meetings.

It’s now in Jedi mind trick territory!

…
Speaking on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Trump declined to point to specific evidence of that declassification. But, in a pre-recorded interview, he told host Sean Hannity that evidence was not needed.

"There doesn't have to be a process, as I understand it," Trump said. "You're the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it."

He’s such a whiney shitbag.

[Catseye3]

And so presidential.

Translation: I can’t defend him either, so I’ll make it look like you’re the one with the problem for even noticing

[Jolly]

Nah, it's a fishing expidition. Always has been.

Did Trump do something wrong? Probably. But no more than his predecessors or even some in positions not as high in the government.

It's never been about Justice or what is right. It's about negating the threat and derailing the Disruptor.

Didn't Trump pass stricter laws to stamp this sort of thing out - or was that just for the little people?

[Jolly]

I stand by my statement above. I find it to be an unassailable point by even cursory observation.

Anything else is just knitting lace around the issue.

Probably not as he wouldn’t have been thinking of little people at the moment.
