without an ENORMOUS amount of "Probable Cause"...if you think FOXNews abandoning DJT was news...wait until this indictment comes down...(and the next one...the one after that...ad infinitum...).
What was Trump doing with 15 boxes of documents...some of which had secrecy levels so high they can't even be acknowledged as existing?...for four years he couldn't muster the attention span for a 2 page brief...WHO WAS reading those documents?
Try to muster some attention yourself on the extremely serious issue at hand.
Even if this was based on a hyper technical violation of some obscure Presidential Records Act that has never been enforced there will be no consequences... for ANYONE.
It's pre midterm kabuki time.
documents?...what possible benign reason would he have for taking them...and then refusing to return them?
Real question: why is DNC first party to do this, and why did GOP let the Dems get away with it before?
GOP is not deranged like the Left, which will sacrifice all precedent for short term political gain. But maybe they will be now. The moment there is a GOP president, dems should be concerned about exploratory home raids.
'benign' reason could there be?...especially when it's been repeatedly noted that he refused to read even very short briefing papers?...those documents are not his, and with the stamp of "Top Secret" on them, he should know not to remove them...yet even when asked to return them...he refused....who does that?...and why? I'm sure that someone along the line told him it was illegal.
btw, you have some military background, right?...what would happen to you if you did the same thing?...especially with "Top Secret" material...what has happened to servicemen who did this? We're talking "National Security" here, Ned...no joke....
As for "Left" and "Right", I'm constantly amazed that folks like you still support someone who was impeached twice...has no morality...incited a coup that even Rupert Murdock drew the line on (see Washington Examiner and Wall Street Journal Editorials) and now this...have you no standards at all...is this the best you can offer the USA?...as bad as Trump is, he at least can claim is malignant narcissism as an excuse...what's yours for supporting him?
Not sure what your game is, but it sure isn't making America better.

refusing to return them?...they're definitely not his to keep.
Only, what the left calls "discretion" is really a redefinition of the word. When discretion is only given to one political party, it is actually abuse of power, not discretion. they are really good at redefining words to suit their political needs.

boxes of information went missing and found to be at Mar-A-Lago. Pretty much roundly laughed at then.
I maintain he wanted to sell that info to the highest bidder. Or it was sold. Who has seen these files already?
My initial thoughts were - He is all about the money and info for power. The Great grifter.
Like his pal who owned The National Enquirer and had the goods on celebs and power brokers in his office safe, DJT saw that and wanted his own cache of info. As well as knowing Putin has the Tea on Donald.
I maintain, Putin is his connection.
Trump has made his "Deal"...or fulfilled his obligation to Vlad. The damages to this country are likely to be severe...over and above what he has already unleashed politically.

Electrified by lawlessness and treason = a clear and present danger.

Because it looks like Trump did.
You’re posting a lot tonight…it’s probably how the Branch Dividians felt when they found out Koresh was not totally on the up-and-up.
By the way…if Trump is guilty, he can’t hold office again.

I'm guessing you misunderstood my point.
you have a misdirection.
They will do to Trump family what they would never do to Biden family.
Maybe you did did get my point, but you are just trying to misdirect by bringing up an unrelated issue (abortion). Nice try, but it didn't work. There is no way to tie abortion into this other than as a distraction. Funny (and predictable) that you accuse me of doing precisely what you just did.
They just negotiate a resolution.
Granted, the NYT was trying to cover for Hillary with that price. Winston Smith is probably re-writing the article as we speak.
Do you really suppor FBI raids on past presidents for alleged records act violations? What if no charges are filed? Still ok? what if the past president is a Democrat? Still ok?
You can bitch, but it was lawful.
But your side's actions are breaking the system.
may have hidden from the prior warrant regarding the federal records that were previously sought. If he knowingly withheld records then they can raise that to a felony.
If they do not find something the mid-terms are in the bag and he will be a shoe-in for 2024.
Garland should have appointed a special counsel as he is taking an awful chance going down this road. Fifty bigwigs dismissed the laptop so if Garland is acting on pure political callousness payback for not making it to SCOTUS, he had better have something to nail down, otherwise he has aroused a real rebellion for 2024.
Lets hear what the FBI has to say later today.
Edit:
The pressure is on the Dems/FBI to justify this. If they don't, it will be a problem. I'm willing to wait and see what they have to say. Everything posted here is a fast take, and what the Democrat Bureau of Investigation says will either confirm or deny each sides fears/hopes.
Meh. Another hospital shi......err, nothing burger.
This is an argument against Trump running with even less starch. Yet, here they are, expecting to implement Liberalism Rule #2: The rules apply to thee and not me.
You see the writing on the wall from the polls, and you want to try to get Trump out on a technicality for which he was negotiating in the usual way. You did this to others in the past. It is going to backfire on you tremendously, but even if it didn't you would then have to deal with a more formidable Ron DeSantis (which convinces me that you will try to remove him is a similar fashion as well).
I purposely use the term "you", because you are a full backer of this even though 5 hours ago, you were vacillating because you knew that it was a dangerous step that you were taking - you knew it went too far. But when given what to think, you abandoned your own thoughts, and jumped right on the wagon. You are a zealot. A cultist. And being a liberal, you call others what you are. You spoke of the opposition party leader being "an existential threat to democracy" This was also another instance Liberalism Rule #1.

Apparently the left feels they can't beat him on the issues.
