Could be, but Trump does not read. Probably a DVD.

Ice T is now a sergeant.
Well thereās my Dad, if heās being honest. And he talked a lot of shit on Trump over the last six years, soā¦
Itās the bootlickers who think the president should get to do what he wants without any harassment, and in four years you decide if he gets four more and if not then heās done but no criminal accountability. And if he tries to steal it, well, no big deal as long as he fails.
Right, all while pulling the lever for the party that wants to keep America white and get her out of here. Like itās not hypothetical anymore, nor is it easy to pretend it is. His actions have consequences.
Yeah Iām going to take some time. Thanks.

Right but since sheās currently going through the immigration system, it matters a great deal whoās running it, and that will be made clear. People he would vote for running that system and being cogs in that system have already caused her immense time, stress, money, and tears. So far if thereās a judgement call to be made, they will fuck you. If thereās a chance to force you to come out of pocket for more money notarizing some stupid document they can āloseā well oops itās gone. Iāve seen the effects of that on her, so this is a very big deal to me on a personal level.
Iām more of a wait and see kind of guy, but my suspicion is that the documents will be something that Republicans will spin as a nothing burger and Democrats will spin as a legitimate national security threat.
Iām not sure if the House and Senate intelligence committees will be briefed on this before the August recess is over, but I assume they will be, since signs suggest this is related to counterintelligence.
Does Garland think this is something worth addressing in a press conference?

This is my thing. Trump would never keep any documents that incriminate him alone. He would destroy them without a second thought.
Yeah Republicans are going to abolish the FBI and replace it with a fundamentally political ālaw enforcementā agency

Yeah this is what I was trying to get at. Even for lol Dems this has to bring some hope because if they dont indict now 1) big win for Trump '24 and 2) these guys are all going to the camps or, best case, are going to be harassed by the Trump/Desantis installed FBI/IRS in 2025 after literally everyone employed there now is fired and replaced with MAGA loyalists.
So Im hopeful BUT if they dont indict now, big win for Republicans.
They truly donāt get that. At all. Theyāre true believers in these institutions against all available evidence.
Meh. Johnny āDockā Dougherty of the IBEW got his house raided so many times he made a show of bringing coffee and donuts for his āguestsā. Only the last time they got someone to flip on him and he was tried and convicted. And he did tons of community service stuff out of the goodness of his heart/pre-pay off any jury pool.
Well known to have heavy influence in local NJ and Philly politics (his brother is in the state Supreme Court even).
Youāre making my point.
The premise is that republicans are going to freak out and overreact to any search of Trump. So, theyāre not going to search him for nothing.
Iām old enough to remember when the problem was that Garland was too afraid to do anything to Trump. Now I guess itās that Garland is too (somethingāunclear what?) to indict Trump despite authorizing a search of Trumpās home.
The cynicism on this stuff has been largely warranted to this pointāmy point, though, is that obtaining a warrant to search his home marks a turning point. It is obviously different than searching the random losers Trump surrounds himself with.
We know that they got a warrant to go into his house. We know that uber weak-tight Garland approved it. We know Trumpworld isnāt blasting the actual contents of the warrant all over media.
I donāt know, maybe nothing will happen, but I just donāt see how you can look at what we know now, less than 24 hours in, and start spiking the ball on ānothing matters ol Donny Trump wriggles away againā etc etc.

I think they indict him and like six years later the SCOTUS rules 6-3 that Trump is immune from all prosecution. Heās probably dead by the time the legality of prosecuting a former president gets resolved.

If he was dead they wonāt even rule. SCOTUS in particular doesnāt deal with mute (moot?) cases.
