    Do White House officials normally have information about the FBI's search warrants? Maybe they do in high-profile cases like this, but really, I'd rather the FBI didn't give the administration any information.

    If that’s the case then the ex-president would appear to be fucked. :)
    And the search warrant would indicate what they went there to look for regardless of its classified status.

    Tell me @shootER what do you think is “dumb” about Trump not being able to tell us what the warrant says if there’s classified material in the warrant? Do you think Trump is above the law as long as it hurts Republicans?

    The FBI can and should release as much information as possible.

    If the warrant was anything other than embarrassing to Fearless Leader he would have released it already. My guess is that the document itself is extremely embarrassing because of what they are looking for. Say, how about a list of the nuclear launch code protocols? Maybe a list of intelligence assets in Russia or North Korea...:chris:

    I do notice that so far the only person defending orange cheeto is a person who claims he hates him, faux news, and republicans. Why is @Federal Farmer pretending this is all some conspiracy to harm a man he supposedly thinks is a criminal who tried to overthrow the country?

    Could it be that everything FF claims about disliking and distrusting Trump is wrong and a lie and he really is part of cult 45?

    Anyway, I am not too confiudent in this whole search thing. If they only searched Mar-a-lago it is probably an investigation only into the documents he took, and though it would be great for them to convict on any crime, that would be just the smallest thing. Maybe it is to secure sensitive blackmail info that he stole before they charge him, but it does not seem to have to do with jan 6th.

    Oh, and let us remember that let us say he is convicted of a federal crime he will be pardoned by desantis, abbot, cruz, or himself when joe loses in 24. Even Joe might pardon him in a gift to his BFF Mitch. The whole point of NY charging him, or another state, was that the DC fools could not pardon him. I am not saying do not do it, but this might not change the fact they will never let a US president see the inside of a jail cell.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    Trump isn't above the law (or shouldn't be).

    Have you ever seen a search warrant? I have and they don't always go into specifics, which I suspect would be the case if they were looking for classified material. It would say something like they were looking for documents that the resident/suspect/whoever wasn't authorized to have.

    Don't warrants have to be specific about what they are looking for and where they are looking? In other words, they're not supposed to be able to ransack the place.

    It's this bit of mental gymnastics conservatives do where they always have to tack on "....but I hate liberals more!!".

    I hate pedophiles more than burglars, doesn't mean I'll tongue kiss a goddamned burglar through their ski-mask.

    The Justice Department must immediately explain the reason for its raid and it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives, or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation and legitimacy of January 6 investigations."

    His political career as a Democrat is dead, his only hope of remaining in the public eye is to appeal to Republicans.

    Seems like the quote you shared just a couple of posts ago does, or is it standard practice that the reasons for raids are immediately publicly explained?

    Seriously, could the lying ass cunt known as the boy just go rittenhouse at the white house for our entertainment purposes and give his lies here a fucking rest? He is going to go all civil war, but never actually does it.

    If the authorities are around here he is lonely and needs some friends so send him to hang with his jan 6th buddies in prison. At least if he is going to whine about the FBI giving a shit about him it would be nice if we saw him doing a perp walk and being persecuted.

    There is a whole country full of white wing whiny ass fucks hoping other people would go do civil war for them. At least a couple of them did something on jan 6th. I watched all the fucking pussies in west palm standing outside of mar-a-lago yesterday and no one was shot like an unarmed black man breathing air.

    Could the police at least bust that rotten mango of a head on dan boingo boingo? I want to see some oppression. I want to see the white wing treated like black people.

    Nobody here is disputing that. Granted the only right wingers here are myself, Lanz and UA, but I digress.
