The stuff Trump has petitioned the court for a ‘Special Master’ over. But let’s not pretend you are going to accept evidence.

I commented in another thread that as this investigation progresses, Trump’s supporters will cry foul, reject reality and claim a ‘set up’ at every strep along the way. The very people who objected to that prediction are doing precisely what I said they would do. Trump was right about one thing and one thing only. "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

Was Powell talking about Iran?

But you don’t link to any of these other studies.

Nobody is dawdling now. And look who’s getting mighty upset about the progress being made.

The FBI are investigating a serious crime, the theft of documents containing national security secrets. Trump’s lawyers made statements that all documents had been returned - this we now know was a lie. If Trump’s lawyers wish to claim they made their declaration on the base I’d of what a third party advised them, then they are not guilty of the crime of giving false statement, they are however witnesses to the crime of concealment (listed in the search warrant). As witnesses to a crime they may now be required to give testimony on who advised them all documents have been returned. They can of course refuse to give testimony at risk of being charged with obstruction of Justice. They can’t claim ‘attorney client privilege’ because the ‘Crime Fraud Exception’ applies. So they are in a trap of their own making. Had they recognized the serious of the matter, and the duplicity of their client, they would have checked themselves before submitting their statement. Obviously they did not, so now they need to point the finger at the person who was attempting concealment - who might that be? Their first mistake of course was going to work for Trump, all this trouble he’s brought upon them, and he probably won’t pay their invoices.

The job of the special master is to review documents seized in the ‘lawful search’ (not a raid) and advise if any the documents are subject to ‘privilege’. The special master does not get to examine the rational for the search (that was examined and approved by the judge who authorized the search warrant. The special master does not get to examine how the lawful search was conducted, that’s the job of the courts if Trump has evidence of illegal or non constitutional behavior by the lawfully authorized search team. The DoJ and US National Security agencies have a very clear reason to avoid any delay to this critically important investigation. I look forward to the appeal court ruling, all indications are they want to get this settled ASAP.

Apparently you think it’s not necessary to inform the sitting President that the home of his predecessor is about to be searched for stolen documents relating to national security. Perhaps you believe the, now private citizen, who has not accepted the results of the election that removed him from office, wouldn’t immediately respond to the lawful search by engaging in fermenting anger and discord amongst his millions of supporters. Perhaps you believe the risks relating to a former President, who together with many of his followers, does not accept the results of the election that removed him engaging in fermenting anger and discord is of no concern at all to the sitting President. Of course the DOJ ‘informed’ President Biden of the investigation and search. There are obvious reasons why it’s a good idea to keep the President informed of lawful actions by the DoJ might give rise to dangerous political stunts by the subject of their investigations and his millions of supporters. Not least of all his past behavior and the past response of many of his supporters. The politicization of this lawful search is all coming from Trump. Trump’s message to Garland which paraphrased read ‘nice country you’ve got there, shame if something happened to it’, is precisely why it is important for the DoJ to keep the sitting President informed of its moves against Trump.

The DOJ have lodged an appeal to overturn the Judge’s ruling with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeal. The court has accepted the petition and has given Trump until Tuesday to respond.

It doesn’t look like the problem is the EU: https://www.ft.com/content/57c66a89-b046-4c3e-a8aa-d9099bd4da20

Leaving ‘Big Tech’ to police itself hasn’t worked out too well has it. Hostile governments hacking and trawling user data, then responding social media to run misinformation campaigns. Extremists using the internet to radicalize people. And big tech itself, running algorithms that target users with online feed that creates information bubbles in which users receive single sided views of issues they react to. It’s well past time for Big Tech to be made responsible for the content they distribute.

I don’t think any rational person hearing the woman’s account of her rapes and abuse, considers her to be making false allegations. Certainly the judge did not.

The disgrace here is Iowa law which mandates financial restitution. The judge himself ruled favorably for the accused where he has the leeway to do so, reducing the custodial sentence by time already held in juvenile detention and commuting the remain to probation with the possibility of the criminal record being wiped clean. Thousands of people have recognized the injustice this young woman has suffered, her legal fees and the restitution she must now pay have been met by generous donations to the ‘go-fund-me’ appeal set up by her old math teacher to help her. What needs to change is Iowa’s draconian laws.

Since when did the rightful owners have to pay thieves to have their stolen goods returned?

‘Convicted of no crime’ is a pretty low bar to set. What crime did the protester commit?

One black person?

So were the tons of drugs being brought into the US by immigrants looking for asylum/work or were they transported by drug mules? Me thinks you are conflating drug smuggling with immigrants. Just as you are implying immigrants are a crime threat because 60 out of 1,600,000 are murderers and 500 out of 1,600,000 are rapists. Oh I get it. Gross negative generalizations of a whole mass of people based on the actions of a tiny minority. Right up your street.

I suspect they might help the immigrants out by paying them to do jobs. Jobs need doing, immigrants are looking for work. Win win. Just like it always was.

I have no idea. I’m not even sure why are you asking me. You seem to be in on the ‘know’ given your certainty as to why Prince Andrew was stripped of his military and Royal titles. Perhaps you found out the by asking random people online.

Why does anyone need to provide a home to someone who’s come to America to work?

Sorry Even’ I don’t always give your posts the attention you perhaps believe they deserve. Now did the ‘apprehensions’ include ‘circular migrations’ and what constitutes an ‘apprehension’?.

“I am wondering if you yourself Larry have ever been the victim of misinformation? ” He says, immediately after linking to to FOX ‘News’.

Park it elsewhere. You are well out of order. Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral is not an occasion for you to promote division and hatred.

I don’t spend my time trying to turn. Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral into an opportunity to display bigotry.
