The search warrant to raid Mar a Largo was signed off on by a Federal Judge. So now you need to demonstrate a corrupt FBI, a corrupt Federal Judge and a corrupt conspiracy between them. Let’s take the easy route. The search warrant was lawfully granted and lawfully executed in pursuit of evidence of crimes.

Trumps hand picked AG Barr imprisoning Michael Cohen in violation of his First Amendment rights for writing a book is an example of corrupt politically motivated Justice.

It’s always a good idea to put things in context of the past. Cast your mind back: ”Making Liberals cry”.

All this constant bleating just because a guy with a life long history of grifting and law breaking gets his home raided under the authority of a lawfully enacted search warrant. Goodness only knows what nonsense we’ll have to put up with if he’s ever arrested, tried and jailed. As it is, one of his supporters has already learned attacking an FBI office is not a good idea: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/11/fbi-armed-man-gunfire-standoff-ohio

What’s not to hate?

Speculation you say.

The FBI were looking for classified documents relating to Nuclear Weapons. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/12/fbi-search-trump-mar-a-lago-home-classified-nuclear-weapons-documents-report

If Trump announces a run for office his grifting (sorry fund raising) will be subject to scrutiny under election law. My pint is he’s got enough legal problems to want to invite that into his life.

Trump citing the 5th hands the NY AG the ammunition to dismantle Trump’s business interests in and connected through NY. Trump has chosen that over criminal prosecution. But that’s no guarantee that criminal prosecution will not follow.

Certainly not the first time, Truss is an example. Like the man she hopes to replace she’ll do whatever is in her own best interest regardless of the consequences on others. The Tory choice is stark. Old school Tory liberalism or the extreme rightwing of the ERG.

The FBI are clearly on the move. in the immediate aftermath of the raid on Mar-a-largo Scott Perry had his phone seized, the FBI are now drawing in the net around him. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/08/fbi-delivers-subpoenas-to-several-pa-republican-lawmakers-sources-say.html

I watched Sunak’s interview last night, he made a lot of sense and was directly addressing the problems people face with practical solutions. He also, once again, exposed Truss’ plans for what they are, a tax give away to Corporations and the already wealthy with nothing but hopes of jam tomorrow for the people struggling to pay bills and feed themselves. He would be a difficult leader to beat in an election. Not so Truss. Addressing your remarks about his future, he comes across very much as ‘old school Tory’ leaning more towards a Liberal than towards the swivel eyed loons of the ERG.

What bit about Trump continuing to claim the election was stolen from him did you not understand? What but about the attack on the Capitol to stop the certification of the election evaded you? Trump has no intention of fading away. He’s never once in his life been held to account. That’s about to change.

AG Garland has a history of quietly running leak proof investigations that methodically build into successful prosecutions. Both sides of the media have for their own reasons portrayed the DoJ silence to be evidence that Trump had got away with it all. The existence of crImes like the existence of Grand Juries was hiding in plain sight. Trump’s removal of classified documents was already reported, as was his habit of destroying documents. Arrests and searchers were being made. The Justice machine is turning, searches, arrests and indictments are underway. I know why the rightwing wish to deny these facts, I have absolutely no idea why so many on the left freely join them in doing so. Justice is coming.

Agreed. The woman in question and FB are subject to the law. Online comments are subject to the law. Courts have authority to compel online businesses to reveal data pertinent to criminal investigations. None of this should surprise anyone.

Trump is right about one thing, no former President has ever been treated like this before. The FBI are very clearly treating him like a common criminal.

A lot of what you say is confusing.

Of course there is no confusion over any of that. It’s aligned with the corrections I and others made to your earlier ill informed nonsense. I just don’t understand your difficulty admitting you were wrong.

The FBI do not ‘need to obtain permission [from the AG] before conducting raids’. Once again you let loose the fact of your lack of understanding what it is you are talking about. I suggest you stop digging.

Still walking back your initial ill informed post. Though it’s not all bad news, you’ve demonstrated you can be corrected even if you struggle when it comes to admitting you were wrong.

I’m good with raid. FBI raid in pursuance with a lawfully issued search warrant.

Don’t waste your time. He’s never going to believe anything that the FBI turn up, not evidence, not indictments, not guilty verdicts. He’s an example of Trump’s 5th Avenue witnesses.

Trump supporter histrionics gets picked up by internet analytics.

Nobody who is not a Trump supporter is upset by this, and as I say many of those who are upset by it don’t have a vote anyway.

Arguably overt interference in a criminal investigation.
