    Yeah I don't know about this whataboutObamism here... you're talking about a president getting documents to a Presidential Library vs another President hiding documents at his estate. The docs were subpoenaed in June. When the FBI gets a warrant, it's only because there is probably cause of a crime. A grand jury has to decide that - meaning a judge signed off on a warrant.

    This isn't political, it's part of a criminal investigation.

    Your trust in believing the Gov't is honest is gullibility at its finest... Recall just two years ago anyone making under 400k wouldn't lose a penny. That was a lie and anyone who knows math knew it.

    You?

    Trump could have complained, but he didn't have to do it privately if he wanted things kept out of the public.

    Trump did it. He had the option to release any documents about the operation and chose not to. Now they're going to be released anyway, unless Trump has something to hide and tries to block their release.

    I paid more in taxes but I also made 30% more year over year so I’m happy. No idea %wise.

    Luckily I’ve been able to give myself annual raises. You’ll get there too champ.

    You know things are off the rails when you learn that the former president, a private citizen, might have been keeping some of the most sensitive national security nuclear secrets at his unsecure country club and the usual suspects are flooding this thread to talk about the IRS.

    I don't have any theories and I don't know what or who tipped them off to search and seize. I have no idea what they were looking for or what they found. Neither do you. All I know is that if anyone is dumb enough or crooked enough to take something illegal from the White House it would be Trump.

    He's not above the law is my point. He was asked and warned, and given plenty of time to return anything. So....if they found nothing, then fine. If they did, then a lot of scrambling and deflection will be coming out of the mouths of his "Trump won the Election" blinded by greed propaganda spreading buddies.

    Hold up there rookie, you are the one running around saying they were looking for nuclear secrets! I'm the one saying that we need corroboration of anonymous sourced WaPo articles from known liars. If you have no idea what they were looking for, then you should be taking my stance on the topic!

    GOOD DAY

    Lots of the already did. I remember nurses in the ER talking about people dying on ventilators during the pandemic still saying Covid was a hoax. Sad.

    WOW. I believe we have found the source here. I love the internet. Years ago, the intel agencies would have gotten away with a preposterous tale like this nuclear code fantasy. Now their theories don't survive more than a couple hours of internet sleuthing. This is good for democracy, quite honestly. Restore power to the people and not the entrenched government agencies in DC.

    BS! I never said that rookie! I have no idea what they were looking for. You have me mistaken with someone else. I never even heard that until I read it on this forum from someone else. All I said was that if he had any Secret or Top Secret documents he's in serious trouble.

    See that thing underneath that says "Member?" If you contributed it would say otherwise. But you've been on here long enough to know that...

    I saw them on tv in tears of frustration being interviewed during the pandemic. They were pleading for people to take it seriously.

    Wow, the Trumpers must be quite worried about this situation. They’re all here and posting furiously.

    The sad part is they shouldn't be worried. If he's innocent, them fine, but if he's a lying crook they should be glad he was caught. It's about National Security if it involves classified documents. You know why I didn't vote for Hilary? I didn't trust her any more than Trump. That was a mistake though, because I learned what a raging sociopath he was too late. He is far more evil and self-obsessed with power than Hilary. I didn't make that mistake twice Thank God.
