A White House where anyone could look through a box of KFC menus........

Hey, come on now. Fast food restaurants having "secret menus" is quite the thing, right now!

 

Where else would you keep your KFC "secret menus"......... but in a box with other secret and classified documents, hmmm?

 

**wink*wink**

[Chomper Higgot]

Oops too late Donny, the DOJ (and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence!) have already, secured, sorted, catalogued the documents.

 

But here’s the kicker, confirming my earlier comments:

 

“ODNI is also leading an intelligence community assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of these materials,” the filing continued.”

 

This isn’t simply an investigation into theft, it’s an investigation into threats to National Security. Thank you Donny, you’re a true patriot.

 

Hats off to the DOJ, FBI and ODNI for getting all their ducks in a row.

New: DOJ says it wants to file a response to Trump’s special master request that could extend to up to 40 pages so that it can “adequately address the legal and factual issues” raised in Trump’s suit

You think with an apparent abundance of evidence against Trump. the FBI filter team is going to jeopardize their investigation by passing along privileged information to investigors? Ya got some proof of that?

We know that Trump's team practiced stalling tactics because his legal motions that would have delayed investigations even more almost invariably were dismissed out of hand. Whereas the Justice Dept wants to file a brief that would pulverize the bizarre inclination of the judge to impose a Special Master.

A legal right to repond to Trumps delaying tactic

[Chomper Higgot]

Trump’s ploy has just back fired in spectacular fashion.

 

The Judge has permitted the DOJ to file a 40 page response with the court.

 

The DOJ now has the chance to set out the scope and depth of Trump’s criminality.

 

This will get published.

 

Trump was playing tic-tac-toe while Garland was playing three dimensional chess.

 

Trump is on indictment watch.

Trump library! ????

I smell another hilarious grift. The only library in history with no books, just ketchup-stained McDonald's wrappers.

 

 I have a junk email account for republican fund raising emails. Every year, I toss some Bible thumping dimwit $5 to keep them on the hook since they all use the same troll-clogged mail lists.

 

Future email from Don Jr:

 

"We need a bazillion dollar library to cause more liberal tears and put the Kenyan's presidential library to shame".

Trump’s meltdown, which includes dozens of posts and reposts per hour, comes amid his baseless demand on Monday to either be named president again or have the nation hold a new election “immediately.”

“Trump is spending his morning on Truth Social directly posting 4chan and Q messages, a day after calling to be reinstated as president.

 

For good measure, he’s also promoting a nonsense idea that the FBI and antifa, not his supporters, stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6

I was tempted to call this an act of desperation, but then I remembered that Trump's base believes anything he posts.

It seems that DT is trying to incite another "storm" immediately.  He's desperate.  This coming weekend is a 3 day holiday in US, I think he wants his faithful to spend it picking up where 1/6 left off.  If there is such activity can we soon be seeing Federal agents arresting him (and maybe Lindsey too) for inciting it?

 

With 10 weeks until midterms, election deniers are hampering some election preparations

This one reeks of Bannon.

calling to be reinstated as president

In late December 2020 when all those nuts (Sydney Powell, Pillow Guy, et al) started showing up at the WH (we now know the exact date via 1/6 Committee testimony) I had the impression DT was dangling a prize for whoever managed to keep him in power (whether or not he would actually pay off is another matter entirely).  I think it was supposed to be "The Apprentice:  Oval Office Edition" but it became The Thick of it meets The Magic Christian.
 I think he's doing it again with this "reinstatement" idea. 

There are no privileges for an former president or former gov't employee.  An argument that arresting him would make the country look bad is gone, he already took it there.

Jail to the chief!

 

Oh, and could it be possible some of these classified documents are sitting in his foreign properties, like the one in Scotland?

This is not the strategy of someone wanting to run for office again. More like someone who fears his days are numbered and is all out for vengeance, directing his cult via Truth Social and letting them know who to target next. A very dangerous threat to the US's stability.

The best outcome is probably that Trump blows everything up and then implodes. I'm hoping that's what he does and so far he's following the script.

From the article....

 

[Trump even posted a meme with his photo pointing to gas at a price of $1.22, implying it had been that low when he was president. The last time it was in that range was 2002, twenty years ago.]

 

The guy lies like he breathes.  So let's be frank, anyone who believes Trump's words (read his supporters) are certifiable idiots who shouldn't be allowed to vote.

That was 1 of 60 grievance filled, insane, faked qoutes and victimhood posts on Truth Social in the last 24 hours. Really a sad reflection of a man in deep deep trouble messing up his brain. He keep doing that to the diriment of the GOP mid-term chances.

Trump team likely sought to conceal classified docs at Mar-a-Lago, DOJ tells judge

The 36-page filing was the department’s most detailed account yet of its evidence of obstruction of justice, raising concerns that Trump and his attorneys sought to mislead investigators about the sincerity and thoroughness of their effort to identify and return highly sensitive records to the government.

“The government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation,” Justice Department counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt wrote.

“That the FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the ‘diligent search’ that the former President’s counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter,” he added.

It seems clear that Trump's attorneys lied. Seems unlikely that they would do that in any way other than at Trump's behest.

No, Graham is supporting Trump in the hope that if Trump stumbles he gets to be chief whack job instead of DeSantis.
