The existence of Trump followers outside of the US is not new, it’s a thing. He’s had a strong following amongst the extreme rightwing across the UK.

Do you think they raided his home without a warrant which identified what they were looking for? You really have no idea how serving a warrant works now do you? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted August 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 13 minutes ago, JonnyF said: Please tell us all exactly what reason they have to believe that raiding his home will uncover evidence of this 'crime'. Facts only please. You make a very valid point. The FBI’s no-knock raid was made under authority of a judge signing the search warrant. To obtain a search warrant the FBI had to present evidence to the judge that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the judge that there is evidence of a crime at the property. To obtain a no-knock warrant the FBI need to make the case, to the judge’s satisfaction, that the subject(s) of the search might destroy or remove evidence. So to answer your question, the FBI have convinced a judge that evidence of a crime exists at the property and that there is reason to believe the subject(s) of the search might destroy or remove that evidence. Look on the bright side Johnny, it might not be Trump they’re after, it could be the cook or the gardener. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It terrifies me that there are enough "independent thinkers" (being extremely polite here) out there so that there can even be talk of a rerun for the worst president ever, a person so spectacularly unfit to lead that even if he led a gaggle of geese across the road you'd expect a disaster to happen.

The silence from the FBI and the MSM is becoming deafening.... You want results in hours? It will probably take days just to catalogue all that was taken. Then there will be the tasks of evaluating the documents, seeing of they have everything the National Archives listed as missing, determining what laws were broken, etc. This is an investigation that will take a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's veering a bit off topic now though, this thread is about the USA rapidly descending into the murky realms of politicized law enforcement, more akin to third world banana republics. A sad day. Let’s go back to your usual insistence on evidence.

Destroying that library book would be a crime, no? It seems that the GOP don't want to be healed. Should that crime not be charged? One law for some and another for everyone else? Unlike trump, Biden has explicitly and publicly refused to lobby his AG or the DOJ. Edited August 9, 2022 by ozimoron 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve seen Trump’s MAGA Mayhem, those who foolishly followed his last call to fight are suffering the consequences. And a new elected administration has control of law enforcement and the national guard. Nobody is going to standby and let extremists mayhem. Oh, and facts matter.

Add in the fact that after cataloguing the items taken and the locations taken from, the entire catalogue writeup of items will be taken back to the Federal Judge who signed the warrant and a return of warrant service will be completed being entered back into the system as completed. The whole shebang being then placed into evidence after the investigators go through it all line by line piece by piece and make photos and copies which will then be given an evidence number. I remember doing such a raid on a trucking company, it took me and two other investigators a week to catalogue all of the items taken...........not a task that can be completed in a few hours.

Popular Post John Drake Posted August 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) The interesting thing politically is that this cancels out the supreme court abortion ruling as far as energizing voter bases. The abortion ruling was set to bring Democrats out of the woodwork, although the Kansas vote may have mollified some. Now, with the Mar a Lago raid, I would imagine Trump supporters would crawl over broken glass to get to the polls. I'm really interested to see which of these two motivations wins out.

Popular Post heybruce Posted August 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 To those insisting this investigation is political: Everyone involved in the investigation is well aware of the fact that the Republicans will probably control one or both houses of Congress after the election. When that happens this will become the most investigated investigation in history. For that reason the people in charge will have ensured that every applicable law has been and will be followed. This will prove to be the most bullet-proof investigation in history. Of course this won't stop Trump and his hanger-ons from claiming deep-state cover-up. I'm sure we will hear that very soon, maybe even tomorrow. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
