^^^ It’s a little more complex than that … iirc, Re: classification

More so: Stinkin’ Executive Privilege. … Sandy Burglar anyone?

I guess we should be thankful that somebody at the DOJ showed some restraint, and Donald isn't being waterboarded at Guantanamo Bay.
Yet.

I wonder if those "classified documents" that were seized might contain damaging info on career swamp critters.

Which flag are we flying tomorrow gentlemen? A. Or B.

This is the kind of fuckery that starts serious problems. That might be exactly what the Dims want.

I wonder where, or if, you can buy 'em.

Persecuting former regimes for political reasons is the stuff of the 3rd world. That is what we are now.

I pay no attention to anything from the AP. They are virulently anti-Trump.

I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating, the FBI has become the gestapo for the Democratic Party.

Agree with the above, have seen it posted on Legal Insurrection that this is more of a provocation move than legal jeopardy for Trump.

Or to nudge him into pre-maturely declaring his run in 2024. (Before the mid-terms when they can run on opposing him vs. on their own record)

As has already been stated in thread "Content to wait it out and see how things develop"

I've been telling my people multiple times over the last couple years that the left is overplaying their hand massively. While this is par for the course, its also high risk on them and shows how they fear Trump in office again.

This reminds me of a night many years ago. I was watching the 6:30 news on a Saturday night, when they reported a small story about a break-in having occurred at the Democratic national headquarters . I remember thinking, "What? This is going to be huge!" I have that same feeling tonight. I think the Left has made a huge mis-calculation, which will have serious consequences for them, despite the expected collusion by the main stream media.

I'm curious as to whether what was in those 'unopened boxes', as the news called them tonight, will be what gets presented by CNN tomorrow. Imagine the outrage when we hear the feebs tell us he had the original of the Constitution, the Sermon on the Mount, and the only known copy of the selfie John Paul Jones took of himself boarding a Barbary pirate ship.

On a more rational note-I keep hearing people say that this and other agencies have terrific agents; its just at the top that it smells like sour owl shit. OK, Pop quiz: Can anybody spell Ruby Ridge, Waco, Elan Gonzales, Gov. Whitmer's non crisis, and of course their involvement in the revolution of 2021.

Bernard Kerik Says Democrats May Try to Orchestrate Trump’s ‘Assassination’ After FBI Raid
By Kipp JonesAug 8th, 2022, 9:59 pm



Former NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik said Monday he is worried Democrats might try to assassinate former President Donald Trump.

Trump’s home was raided by the FBI beginning Monday morning in connection with documents that were not turned over to the National Archives by the former president upon leaving office. According to the New York Times, 15 boxes containing classified documents were taken by FBI agents who raided Trump’s office and broke into his safe.


Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump told Fox News the former president was aware of the raid and why. She added that he took memorabilia from his time in office which he rightly owned. She said he had been negotiating the return of some of the material.

The Department of Justice has not commented publicly on the raid, but Kerik claimed on Newsmax TV he is afraid for Trump’s life.

Kerik joined The Balance with host Eric Bolling, where he said he feels Trump is in grave danger – not only from politically-motivated prosecution – but from the threat of death. He said:


If you remember back in 2016, right before he got elected, I was in Washington D.C. I was at a couple of different social events, and I hear people talking, they said the Democrats want this guy so bad that they wouldn’t put assassination behind it. And I’m gonna tell you something. they’ve tried impeachment, they’ve tried another impeachment, they’ve tried one investigation after another.

This is about one thing: this is about stopping him from running in 2024. And I’m gonna tell you something, I’m not into conspiracies, I’m not into anti-government rhetoric. This is the first time in my lifetime that I would say I am deathly afraid for Donald Trump. I would not put assassination behind these people.

Yessir. There isn’t anything to be gained by getting excited about this.

As you pointed earlier, it is sad. As embarrassing as is it to have a drooling puppet as POTUS, this sort of thing heaps on more embarrassment for our country.

It is my sincere hope that this will blow up in the GDC’s faces and help them further immolate themselves in November.

Trump mentions the safe in his statement. A safe I understand was empty. Who keeps an empty safe?

Did the FBI have a mole inside MAL? Did this informant know there was a safe?

Trump has been stringing this thing out since February. What if it’s all a plan to get the FBI to perform a raid? As I type it, it sounds crazy.

We’ll know more soon enough.

Would you ever have thought that this was going to happen in America even just a few years ago? What is being done is a continuation of the tearing apart of America; and this is what is going to happen in a slightly smaller scale to every American firearms owner once they pass that law. God Bless, and God Help America

That’ll never happen because the left has no respect for anything. I only hope the payback is swift and complete if he gets back in office. Delete FBI, ATF, come after Brandon et al swift and hard.

They respect power.
