    Well if the can just lock up every corrupt scumbag around him I'd be happy. As a lawyer you know he isn't going anywhere except the Bedminster golf course family gravesite...eventually.

    Yes. Definitely need to lock up those around him who committed crimes. The more of them they start getting the more likely they will give additional testimony and evidence against Trump.

    Plus we'll see what the raids are turning up.

    Why the **** would you keep classified material at the crib?

    You just know he was selling **** to the highest bidder and had blackmail stuff as well.

    as reported by Politico

    Trump is under investigation by the Justice Department for removing presidential records from the White House and storing them at Mar-a-Lago for up to a year, a potentially serious violation of the law if the records were classified.

    A Federal Judge had authorized the search warrant;Two sources familiar with the search said it was related to allegations that Trump allies improperly removed boxes of presidential records from the White House after leaving office
    — including some that may have included classified information.

    as reported by USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/08/08/trump-fbi-maralago-raid/10272048002/

    As unprecedented as such action is on a former president home is, Bradley P. Moss, a national security lawyer, said Trump’s handling of documents justified the search.

    “No one, not even Donald Trump, is above the law,” he says. “Properly marked classified documents were taken to Mr. Trump’s personal residence after he left office and were stored in an unsecured manner for months.
    That is a clear violation of the law.”​

    They know that but can't admit it because then they can't claim deep state weaponizing the FBI

    LOL No. it’s not political theatre. All this does is fire up Trumpers. Also the best bet the Democrats have for keeping the White House in 2024 is for Trump to be the Republican nominee … because everyone knows he is a scumbag and some will stay home rather than vote for him.

    The real news here is that if Trump removed classified materials that is a federal crime.

    Being convicted of a federal crime disqualifies you from holding future office.

    Sometimes it's hard to fathom how stupid these people are, but much like thier ethics, there appears to be no bottom.

    I don't believe many people at all believe it is a good thing.

    This isn't political theater.

    As mentioned earlier, it is the result of a legally obtained warrant. The warrant came from an independent judge who was shown probable cause that evidence of crimes would be present.

    In addition photographic evidence that Trump had lied and flushed documents down the toilet. There are literally pictures of the documents in the commode.

    Nobody believes this is good.

    I think most people are super sad that this was necessary.

    But it was

    I agree. At this rate the republicans incompetence could lead to the dems not needing to run a candidate other than Biden.

    I would normally think that the vegas odds on trump actually getting convicted is low. But I also think the DOJ probably wouldn’t do this unless there is intent to indict.

    If we assume there are classified documents in the 15 boxes seized by the FBI, you have a crime. There is no intent requirement. It is not a defense to say, dude, I didn’t MEAN to have classified documents, it was an accident. I think it is a fairly simple path to prosecution.

    Now, I like your idea of him kicking the bucket better. But at this point, it is time to go after trump and let him and all his sickophants know that nobody is above the law.

    Salvy has no honor or integrity. He is 100% a hypocrit. Beta males love Trump because they have no power themselves and crave it......so much....BETA MALES....weak.

    This is not political theater, the DOJ under Biden is doing the job it is supposed to and is INDEPENDENT of the Executive branch. Unlike Trump who tried to weaponize it. Biden has let Garland do the job he was appointed to do.....and is letting the evidence lead him.

    Why are you guys so worried about Trump? I mean you could have done the right thing and Impeached him for breaking the law in office.....but nope, you make excuse after excuse and claim victimization - which is a joke, this is 100% on a crook getting caught....

    Bunch of idiots in here rooting for Al Capone over the good old USA - this is MAGA baby, making America Great Again !
