Make an accusation with no basis, then deflect repeatedly. Read my post carefully, then respond appropriately if you want. Otherwise don't pollute the thread with your normal pendantry and claims of not really understanding the issues on which you comment. If you can do that I may respond again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're amplifying what McCarthy said which is tantamount to stating that as your own opinion. Otherwise what point were you making? We all know that McCarthy said it was political. Nowhere has he said he was just wanting to make sure the rules were followed (missing link form you) and he has said he will seek revenge if the GOP take the house in November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habanero Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 On 8/8/2022 at 7:10 PM, LarrySR said: Trump has already called on his base to “protest like they never seen before” if he is indicted. A sudden increase is security presence at the court houses in NY, GA or DC will indicate the arrest is imminent. Why don't you tell the truth? He has called on people to protest if the Feds to anything illegal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did he say "If"? Link please. Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested the Federal Bureau of Investigation may have "planted" evidence against him during a search at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday. In an angry rant planted on Truth Social, Trump cast aspersions at the FBI for executing a search warrant on his property. https://www.rawstory.com/fbi-trump/ Edited August 10, 2022 by ozimoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USA is looking more and more like a third world banana republic every day. Was ir really/actually 'state sponsored' or was it a result of someone (a clown) breaking a serious law and the appropriate authority doing their assigned job according to the law? Seems to me very clearly that it was the later. Edited August 10, 2022 by scorecard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will investigate the raid on Trump , to make sure it wasn't Political and everything was in order . Stands to reason doesn't it ?

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted August 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2022 Couple of choice statements made by Trump Aug. 18, 2016: In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law." Sept. 7, 2016: "One of the first things we must do is to enforce all classification rules and to enforce all laws relating to the handling of classified information." Came back to bite him Feb. 2022 Trump improperly took away classified material, National Archives says. Archives says it has alerted Department of Justice about former president’s removal of files from White House. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has direct access to the FBI itself, he's on the intelligence committee. We all know his opinion and so you repeated it for what reason? Echoing his words lets you off the hook for having to justify your claim. Start engaging in meaningful debate that's more ingenuous. It's like saying. Q said the democrats.. blah blah... pizzagate.

If it was true then why did young Eric tell the press they were still in negotiations at the current time. It doesn't take months to hand over requested records which he was legally compelled to do.

spidermike007 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) 22 hours ago, ozimoron said: The following morning, the billionaire Trump sent out emails asking for money. “I need every single red-blooded American Patriot to step up during this time,” read the email. “Please rush in a donation IMMEDIATELY to publicly stand with me against this NEVERENDING WITCH HUNT.” https://nordot.app/929783457074577408?c=592622757532812385 "Patriot funds for the master promoter". You don't know where they are going, or how the money is going to be used, but trust him. For a self proclaimed multi billionaire, he sure seems unable or reluctant to use his own funds for anything political. Does self entitled come to mind?

I doubt the DOJ will act before the midterms. I have learned though that if convicted he will probably just get home incarceration because of the need for secret service protection. So no more golf and no more rallies. The poor dear. You are likely correct. I doubt they would seek jail time for an ex prez. It would be precedent setting, and it would be absolutely lovely to see. But, I doubt it will happen. Unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
