Reporting that it’s presidential records act stuff.
I wonder what interesting things were in that safe? Not even thinking of the federal records. Those the idiot is already known to be guilty of destroying records, stealing records and making up records (weather map fraud). Yup, this should be some interesting stuff.
Stuffing documents in his toilet alone violates this law, which bars future office:
“Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing… shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States”
Russia, if you’re listening, i need you to reach down into that toilet…

Wait, I know this. Chris Ray, nominated by Dumbass. Right?
Yikes, a former CIA dude just said on TV his worry is Trump took records about our covert agents that would be valuable to enemies.
DOJ also got secret records of Mar-a-Lago members. Long been suspected many are Russians. Nice way to share our secrets with them for a price.
Someone tipped Trump off, as he was in New York and not in his beautiful home in Florida. We just don’t know what DOJ will proceed towards. This will possibly be just a fine and go about your business, Trump, as Trump will certainly say this was the mistake of an underling or a moving company, hell, who knows?
Ayman al-Zawahiri planned 9-11, but did not fly the planes, and for this he was droned to death. Trump most definitely orchestrated a plan to destroy the US Government by overthrowing the vote of the citizens of the USA, and is a proven seditionist, at least to my point of view. One terrorist of 1-6-21 got 9 years for following Trump’s clarion call…Trump, well, no reasonable person can expect the gallows like was there for Mike Pence, but what we need to save the nation is to see this criminal former President confined to Guantanamo for 10 years. No possibility of parole. And to make the bastard suffer…no Diet Coke.
Craig – we already know he gave them at least one Israeli the first week in office, actually did the deed in the Oval Office. How many others did he and his cult give to the russians?
After years of defending the continued militarization of law enforcement agencies across the United States, Republican lawmakers appeared to have a change of heart Monday after learning the FBI executed a search at the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump. Faced with the possibility that the “good guys” might not be on their side after all, prominent members of party that made backing the blue a central tenet of its political platform in recent years began spouting rhetoric that suspiciously mirrored the talking points of Conservatives’ most feared bogeyman: antifa.
The GOP majority must defund all forms of tyranny throughout Biden’s government,” prominent right-wing figurehead Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) wrote on Twitter, tagging the official FBI account. She later added: “Weaponizing the FBI to raid President Trump’s home makes Watergate look like nothing.” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), meanwhile, embraced the GOP’s favored doomsday approach. “We must destroy the FBI,” he tweeted. “We must save America.”
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s estate in Palm Beach on Monday, reportedly in search of any leftover classified documents he may have taken from the White House. The search began in the morning, but didn’t make the news until later, when the former president announced the “prosecutorial misconduct” just in time for Fox News’ primetime propaganda lineup to have a collective conniption over the Justice Department spending the day at Mar-a-Lago.
Jesse Watters set the tone early, ranting about how the Justice Department is giving Democrats a pass while going after poor, innocent Trump. Dana Loesch, the former National Rifle Association spokesperson, agreed. “There’s more evidence to implicate the Bidens than there is for the Trumps,” she claimed. “Everything they’ve accused the former first family of, it seems like it’s the Bidens that have done it.” (Loesch did not point to anything indicating Biden absconded from the White House with classified documents.)
[…]
The Trumps likening classified documents to press clippings may have been amusing, but others suggested a more terrifying response. Russ Voght of the Center for Renewing America told Laura Ingraham that Republicans need to “dismantle the FBI into a thousand bits” and “prepare for a church style commission next year if given a Republican majority.”
“When we get power back, it’s time to hold everyone accountable,” Ingraham added. “The military leadership, the civilian leadership, the civil service, those in Congress who have abused their power — all of them have to be held accountable.”
[…]
“Make no mistake,” Hannity warned, “if you are associated with Donald Trump in any way, you better cross all your I’s and dot all your T’s, because they’re coming for you with the full force of the federal government.”
hope they checked all the johns (toilets as well as the other kind ever-present at mal an ego)

And yes, Laura Ingraham, those in Congress who have abused their power must be held accountable … that’s why they asked tRUMPsy for pardons.
The search warrant: Did Mark Meadows Marc on him?
How predictable was the RW meltdown over the search? (Hint – very).
They even went into his safe!
Sorry to hear about Olivia Newton John.
My beautiful safe. It was a siege. So nasty. Nothing like this has ever been done to a U.S. President before. To be fair, I did attempt a coup, but so unfair to my followers. We love you, followers. And, to my safe. We love you, safe.
I want to know who turned on him and if they found anything. Is hiding anything in NY or at his golf course in NJ?
He’s like, “…just tell me they didn’t go into the safe”
”So, um, that was actually the first place they looked, Boss”
i don’t have any hard data, but i would surmise the least-common content of a safe is evidence of right-doing

in other news, new way to campaign bipartisan style
Two House Democrats are urging Wyoming Democrats to switch parties in the state’s upcoming primary to boost the chances of Rep. Liz Cheney (R), one of former President Trump’s primary targets this cycle.
“You might be a little surprised that I’d be supporting Liz Cheney in her bid to continue representing Wyoming in the U.S. House, but principle must always come before politics, and nobody has shown more honor, integrity and courage than she,” said Rep. Dean Phillips in a new ad.
“Liz Cheney and I don’t agree on everything,” said Rep. Tom Malinowski in his ad. “But we’re on the same side today fighting for a country where we settle our differences by voting, not violence.”
The ads are running on at least Facebook, and the platform indicated that they are being paid for by Wyomingites Defending Freedom and Democracy, an organization that has documented $475,000 in contributions to the Federal Elections Commission as it seeks to boost Cheney’s campaign.
[…]
Malinowski and Phillips are the latest figures to suggest Democrats in the state vote in the Republican primary to push Cheney over the finish line, as the scant polling in the race shows Hageman well ahead.
“Patriots will put it all on the line to protect our country, and Liz Cheney has done that,” Phillips said. “It’s far more important than any policy differences that we might have, so I ask you to please consider temporarily switching parties and voting for Liz Cheney on or by August 16th.”
Both congressmen directly mentioned Trump by name in their ads, with Malinowski calling him an “extremist.”
“She had the courage to put country over party for all of us,” Malinowski said of Cheney in the ad. “Wyoming Democrats can put country over party, too, by registering to vote for her in the Republican primary. I hope you do.”
If he’s going to Dubai he better get a move on…..Or wait—-he can go to Brazil among the Confederate ex-patriots and have a huge beautiful government in Exile.
Anybody here ever had excess fluid on the back of their eyeballs?
Many reports right wing extremists online calling for civil war with code phrases like “cross the Rubicon” and “strap on your breastplate”, suggesting assassinations. We learned Jan. 6 this should be taken seriously.
Ok so in some instances i’m an optimist but i think several govt agencies are ready and waiting for their civil war bullshit.
They’re serious but they gonna fold like a cardboard suitcase.
Do they really think the federal government is just kinda standing around like with a “kick me” sign on its back?
They been bluffing this “take up arms against an oppressive government ” for decades. Uncle Sam is about to Call. Show your cards, gentlemen.
Craig is correct. The chatter should be taken seriously. The anti-democracy followers of Orange Adolf learned nothing from the punishment of J6 terrorists. Group psychology can be a scary thing. Their reality is skewed and, if they act, everyone is screwed.
Agreed. JarJar isn’t probably clean, either. Roll ‘em all up and they’ll flee the country, if they can.
Orange Adolf would still be a mouthpiece from afar, inciting domestic terrorists.
Sandy Hook families’ lawyer confirms that a naked photo of Alex Jones’s wife was on his phone, but adds that Alex sent that naked photo of his wife to Roger Stone.
I’m of the mind that indicting Trump will be bad for this country… but not holding him accountable will be even worse.
No one took the guy seriously… including myself… as a real candidate back in 2015 when he announced. Methinks that especially the media and the gop should have known better. Now we’re all gonna have to pay the piper. It sucks… but it needs to happen.
I know many here will enjoy this one…

” Faster and Faster ”
Olive oil up 25% …… Heat and drought.
This July was the 3rd hottest world wide
It rained 1.75 ” in Denver Sunday . in 20 mins.
The country’s weather agency maintained a heavy rain warning for the Seoul metropolitan area and nearby regions on Tuesday and said the precipitation may reach 5 to 10 centimeters an hour (2 to 4 inches) in some areas. It said around 10 to 35 centimeters (4 to 14 inches) of more rain was expected across the capital region through Thursday.
More than 43 centimeters (17 inches) of rain were measured in Seoul’s hardest-hit Dongjak district from Monday to noon Tuesday. The per-hour precipitation in that area exceeded 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) at one point Monday night, which was the highest hourly downpour measured in Seoul since 1942.
The Republican Accountability PAC is using domestic violence allegations in a new $1 million ad campaign targeting Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, the ex-NFL player backed in the Georgia race by former President Donald Trump.
The ad called “The Real Herschel Walker,” released Monday, includes footage of Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman, describing how Walker allegedly threatened to kill her.
“His eyes would become very evil,” she says. “The guns and knives. I got into a few choking things with him.
“The first time he held the gun to my head, he held the gun to my temple and said he was gonna blow my brains out,” she said.
The ad will air on MSNBC, FOX, and CNN in the Atlanta market and all major broadcast stations across the state this week, the group says. It is part of the PAC’s $10 million initiative to “defeat anti-democracy Republicans” in key battleground states, which they say is currently underway to defeat GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania.

“This 2003 Texas law could shield Alex Jones from paying the vast majority of the $50 million defamation case judgment”
“That means Jones’ punitive damages, which amounted to $45.2 million, could be limited to $750,000 if courts decide that the cap does apply. Add that to the $4.1 million, and the parents could wind up collecting just $4.85 million in total — less than 10% of what the jury awarded them last week.”
“Texas juries are not allowed to be told about the cap on punitive damages, so jurors may hand down a verdict much higher than the cap, not knowing the plaintiff may never see that total amount.”
“Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday he has agreed to debate Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke on Sept. 30 in the Rio Grande Valley.”
“We looked forward to attending a forum hosted by Nexstar Media Group in the Rio Grande Valley at a mutually agreed upon date and time, but one debate in one community for the entire state of Texas is not nearly enough,” O’Rourke spokesperson Chris Evans said in a statement.
“The O’Rourke campaign said it additionally wants Abbott to “participate in three town hall-style debates in every region of the state during weeknights this fall where they can take questions directly from their fellow Texans.”
