    This is an Amber Turd and Johnny Depp situation. Both are shitstains, it’s just one is slightly worse.

    I see people using this all over the place

    How the fuck is it a bad precedent to investigate and act on crime at the top of level of government?

    That's exactly the type of thing that should be investigated and acted on. If the president can do whatever the fuck he wants and not be investigated for it, then what are we even doing here?

    All these Trump bootlickers used to love it when corrupt top government officials went down, now that it's happening to Trump it sets a bad precedent? Pathetic

    Remember when Dayton said that he didn’t think that Trump should be impeached because it would lead to Republicans impeaching the next Democratic President? I remember.

    No you just keep asserting that I support Trump. I keep telling you I don't.

    And yet you bend over backwards to defend him, and to give him the benefit of the doubt, and to repost statements from his supporters without further comment. I don't see you doing that with other politicians you claim to not support, at least not when they're lefties. :async:

    Have you?

    You're the one who made the assertion that this is clearly a political act.

    You're the one who asserted that every former president goes through the same situation.

    The burden of proof for those claims is on you.

    Yet once again we have another thread where you confuse your initial gut feeling with fact. Your first thought was that this feels like a political act, so it must be.

    The timing is highly suspect, but we'll see. I have a feeling that if it does turn out to be a nothing burger you and the rest of WF won't admit you were wrong.

    How so? They could have timed it much closer to the midterm elections or Trump announcing his 2024 candidacy if the plan was to undermine Trump or the Republicans politically. :chris:

    Trump was about to announce his 2024 candidacy. At least those were the rumors right before this happened.

    Everything I'd heard suggested was that Trump was avoiding announcing anything until after the midterm elections were over, so that if the Republicans didn't do as well as expected it couldn't be blamed on him, and also in the hopes that he'd be under less scrutiny if they did take back that house and/or senate.

    How does it sound that way? Could I also possess classified information in my house?

    There were also rumors that he’d announce that he was running on July 4th of this year, so why not do the raid then?

    But you still assume it was political in nature.

    I don't assume it, it is a hunch.

    If the NYT report is accurate it's because they didn't rush into this, trying to avoid it through steps like giving him five months to return documents.
