    it is so kind of you to obsess over the well-being of federal agents. A bunch of your fellow trumpers would rather defund or shoot them

    Everything you've said about Russian hoax has been wrong. IT has been proven wrong. Parts of the Steele Dossier have been verified true. Trump's campaign manager openly admitted given confidential information to a Russian intelligence officer. There have been numerous indictments related to the collusion charge. Any claim that it was a total hoax is wrong.

    The office out of Washington isn't the same people it was before.

    The FBI/DOJ was shown to have given Trump PREFERENTIAL treatment paying him a personal visit to request the information back. He didn't comply with anything that was asked of him. He hasn't every even denied having the documents they were looking for.

    The FBI approached the judge and told him what they believed Trump had, and where he had it. They showed the probably cause about why they believed it was there.

    The judge issued the warrant based on it.

    The FBI executed the warrant.

    The FBI found exactly what they told the judge they believed Trump had. Their sources and probable cause proved to be accurate. We know because of the inventory related to the warrant of what they found.

    Again, Trump never denied having it. He still hasn't to this day.

    The FBI/DOJ didn't publicize this. They didn't leak the execution of the warrant. It was Donald Trump himself that broadcast that the FBI was raiding Mar-a-Lago.

    Please show me any evidence where in the process they acted with any bias toward Trump. Provide evidence. So far all you've done is post some guess that it was damaging information against the FBI that they were trying to get back. Of course, if that's what Trump had, he could have at any time exposed that, and he still could. But he hasn't and he won't because that isn't what was there. Even if it was what was there, Trump isn't allowed to hold it. It doesn't belong to him.

    If you have evidence the FBI/DOJ has acted wrongly in this, by all means, link it, show it, provide it, any way you know how. Nobody has provided any.

    Yet, they still try and hold this execution of legal warrant as proof the FBI/DOJ is out to get Trump. It makes no sense.

    I don't expect you to let facts get in the way of your fantasies and victim p*rn imagination, but just take a look at the known facts we have regarding this.

    So, ignoring the trolls for a second and having the adults in the room speak please.


    It looks like 45 had ~300 classified docs in an unlocked patio of sorts, people at intervals adding and swapping out boxes, and video surveillance of the above. NYtimes Scuttlebutt, not fact at this point, and using the heuristic of everything you first hear about 45 is actually worse than it looks at first... How are we feeling? Speculation on what actually went down? Eg. F-22 schematics for sale? Submarine deployment & activities? Actual spy names and locations? Sergey Lavrov love sonnet transcripts? Nuclear secrets might be the biggest *gasp* word the media can think of, but things can be far worse than that. The only scenario I can come up with that isn't a complete sellout of the country is all the documents pertain to him, and as a narcissist that redefines the word I could see him just clumsily trying to cover his petty, used car salesmen tracks.

    [Axios] Poll: 57% of voters think investigations into Trump should continue

    Some 57% of American voters believe the various investigations into former President Trump should continue, a new NBC News poll conducted in the wake of the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago indicates.

    Why it matters: The poll's results contradict remarks by Trump himself, who has sought to paint Americans as "so angry" about the FBI's search of his home.

    The big picture: Fifty-seven percent of voters agreed with the statement that the probes should continue because "he needs to be held accountable just like anyone else."

    • 40% of respondents agreed with the statement that the investigations should stop "because they are politically motivated" and "divide the country."
    • 92% of Democratic voters, 61% of independents and 21% of Republican voters believed the investigations should continue, per NBC News.
    • 50% of voters surveyed said Trump is solely or mainly responsible for the events of Jan. 6, a five-point increase since the same poll was conducted in May.

    LOL I was impressed by how many inaccuracies, half truths and lies he could fit into his “statement”.

    I don’t know, he will likely get away with this like he has other things over the years. He has control of half the government and 30-40% of the American people. So I like his chances.

    Still, everyone with any objectivity can have a good chuckle reading his “statement.”

    Mr alternative facts over here apparently doesn’t model his identity around Trump. Lying is a sin my dude. And lying about lying is compounding the issue.

    I’m not surprised by this. Trump is a polarizing figure but he’s never had the support of a majority of Americans. He lost the popular vote if both elections by millions and I don’t think he ever crossed 50% approval ratings.

    Trump and his supporters make a lot of noise and the nature of the US political system gives a well organized and motivated political minority more power. That doesn’t mean that he actually has had the support of a majority.

    Mr. Trump went through the boxes himself

    MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell reports on the breaking news from The New York Times that former President Donald Trump had over 300 documents at Mar-a-Lago and that he personally went through the boxes himself in 2021.

    As a reminder ... the former Toddler in Chief went through all of the boxes in 2021 and stated clearly in 2022 that the classified documents were his and he was not giving them back. His legal defense may have to center on the fact he is not a smart person, has poor attention and reading skills, is generally incompetent, has a deteriorating set of mental faculties and has a super sized sense of entitlement.

    I'm going to assume he hasn't actually done anything malicious to the country until there is some evidence otherwise. It's bad enough that he took and kept government documents even if there was no point to it, so why punch it up. If everyone is crying that he sold the nuclear launch codes to the Russians and then it turns out to be wrong, Trumpers will take that opportunity to say it's all a bs witch hunt. But, it's not bs that he took government documents and that he mishandled classified documents. You can always add charges later if there is more you can prove.

    its pretty sad that only 57% of americans want to see the right thing done. what trump did was indefensible, but you have one or two "very fine people" on here twisting themselves into pretzels trying to excuse the fact that trump took classified documents back to his home and making up fantasy scenarios and baseless theories on what really happened.

    that 40% has been trumps base since he became president. he hasnt lost them at all. that speaks volumes for how brainwashed, stupid, immoral and/or anti-american 40% of the country is.

    there is literally nothing trump could do to lose his base. they are a cult.. he was right when he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and he wouldnt lose any support. two morons committed suicide by cop in the wake of the FBI raid. similar to ashley babbit, who is dead because she believed his lies. its pretty incredible to see.

    lol. roxran talking "career suicide" while trumpers are committing actual suicide simply because the FBI (rightfully) raided his house to take back classified materials that he should absolutely not have and lied about not having.

    I'd say 57% is a pretty good number for something about which we have almost no insight. If details come out (big "if" because nuclear secrets are the highest-stakes thing we have) and evidence is put forward that Trump was doing something nefarious with these documents... I dunno man. The cult will never abandon him, but I don't think that 43% of the country are hardcore cultists. There are a lot of people who vote Republican no matter what and they need a come-to-Jesus moment before an open 2024 primary.
