Thank you for appointing Chris Wray! ????

Where is it written that they only found empty folders?

Why do you think she married Trump? She's just more expensive.....

Sarcasm, surely. Good taste, surely not!

Trump lashed out at Bill Barr after the former attorney general said the DOJ was justified in raiding Mar-a-Lago ???? https://news.yahoo.com/trump-lashed-bill-barr-former-060332842.html

Thanks for your humorous post! This thread would be more boring without you.

The judge decided to release the list of document seized. We'll know why Trump ultimately did not want to have it published! ???? https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/02/politics/mar-a-lago-seized-documents-inventory/index.html Edit. Ooops! Too late! ????

Maybe more to be found! Michael Cohen believes Trump is likely keeping copies of top-secret documents at his children's homes, Bedminster, and Trump Tower I also noticed this: "He later weighed in on how Trump was likely nervous about a potential mole at Mar-a-Lago and said he would not be surprised if one of Trump's children or his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was an FBI informant." ???????????????? https://news.yahoo.com/michael-cohen-believes-trump-likely-043613110.html

More than ever! ???? "Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Donald B. Ayer, Gregory A. Brower, John J. Farmer Jr., Stuart M. Gerson, Peter D. Keisler, William F. Weld – who all served in Republican administrations – called Trump’s request a "waste of time." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-fbi-raid-ex-nj-gov-whitman-other-former-prosecutors-call-request-special-master-waste-time

How I like conservative media sometimes! "Still, those on the Right who say it's "only documents" show a juvenile understanding of the national security world. "Only documents?" Well, the Soviet Union ran spies in our midst and obtained "only" documents that allowed them to build an atomic bomb. The "only documents" crowd should probably take a knee now; theirs is a ridiculous retort. In the intelligence business, obtaining documents from an adversary is actually the apex of a collection operation." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/courage-strength-optimism/mar-a-lago-and-why-intelligence-agents-matter-to-america

I have read the motion (well, the most important parts). It shows that, despite allegations from MAGA folks, everything has been cross-checked by expert lawyers and the procedure must be flawless.

Very convenient for him as he just shared what others are claiming. Same tactic as "I've been told....", "people say..."

Full text available here. A bit technical, but quite interesting reading https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/30/politics/read-doj-response-trump-special-master/index.html

Compared to his apartment, I find the carpet quite tasteful! ????

The fatal blow! ????

Isn't it the judge's job to assess whether there is sufficient probable cause? Are you also claiming the judge did not do his job properly?

Trump going bankrupt and lying, as usual. ????

It looks li,e Trump is now completely losing his mind! "This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country. REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!” ???????????????? https://news.yahoo.com/2022-trump-demanding-immediate-redo-164947937.html

On top of what other members have posted, due to size effect, the relevant level of comparison should be the EU. https://sciencebusiness.net/news/eu-surpasses-us-innovation-league-table-uk-loses-leader-status-europe

What "taxed to the max"? Taxes are rather low in the U.S. "Total US tax revenue equaled 24 percent of gross domestic product, well below the 34 percent weighted average for other OECD countries." https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxes-compare-internationally#:~:text=Budget and Economy-,How do US taxes compare internationally%3F,average for other OECD countries.

“I’ve never been more worried about the law and politics as I am right now,” he added. Graham doesn't seem to have the same concern when it's about Jan. 6 and Trump's attempt at stealing elections. ????

False equivalence as usual... You mean the Comey who is partly responsible for Clinton's loss? Have you read the article about him? I think not, otherwise you wouldn't have linked it.

This is not comparable. There's a difference between interpreting the law in a more or less different way based on political orientation, and accepting ridiculous and unsubstantiated claims such as in Trump's Big Lie campaign.

Right, it's terrible: the people who just parrot what they read in right-wing social media posts and memes, Trump's lies, Fox News, Breitbart, etc... without ever checking facts.

Middle income households will benefit the most. (See above)
