Judge orders DOJ to unseal Trump Raid Warrant by Mon. Looks like a long & creative weekend at the WH
Same judge (undoubtedly not wanting to be a shield in the crossfire for the DOJ).
They will have to play their cards, and with it public, they will need to show evidence and justification. This won't be the cake walk that it was for the Steele Dossier warrant lies. Initially, the DOJ will list their biggest suspicions and the libs here will act like they are facts. But then, the case will have to be made to justify the raid based on their evidence - that will be interesting...and on the record.

Check out the new I.R.S. job requirements.
Sure, folks, they're only adding number crunchers to go after billionaires.

Flat tax w/ no deductions/credits, and we can eliminate most IRS agents, CPAs, & tax attorneys.
Then, those people would have to get jobs that actually contribute to the GDP.
And no tax returns ever year. How awesome would that be.
And the rich would have to pay the flat tax, instead of paying people to get them out of paying any taxes.
Does the IRS have an enforcement division or whatever you want to call it?
Wasn’t there a movie recently with the same for the postal service? With that piece of ass Kristen Bell maybe?
They sure do now.
I'm going to have to Google what film you're referring to.
Both the USPS and IRS both have criminal investigators that carry.
According to the google, of course.
Good grief people get up in arms about a lot of shit these days.
Which of those agencies is expanding exponentially.
I'll note that the I.R S. also took that page down after enough people noticed and shared it.
Hasn’t the IRS lost something like 50,000 employees over the past few years to attrition?
Perhaps that has something to do with it.
Isn’t it exhausting looking for and/or seeing shadows everywhere?
And yes, that question should be posed to both sides of the political aisle.
87k new I.R.S. enforcers.
I don't call that looking for shadows.
For new IRS employees, yes.
I’m sure some will likely be investigators, if the google is right and they exist.
I’m sure more will get the backlog of returns completed more on time.
And, notice, that Yellen told the IRS not to go after anyone making less than 400K…though I’m sure people will just say that’s for show.
Everyone is way to freaking hopped up on stupid shot. Try some psychedelics. Micro dosing is awesome.
Perhaps that's where we differ.
I can't fathom how anyone would believe they're only going after $400k+ earners. These people have earned zero trust.
Maybe. More likely the constant rage will be redirected within a week.
Wasn’t all student loan debt supposed to be forgiven by now? Or the court packed? Or all steaks replaced with fake meat or something?
Don’t cheat on your taxes and I doubt anyone has anything to worry about.
Request to be audited, it will be fine.

Heh. That's not how it works.
They find you owe no matter what. You know they are wrong, so you fight for a while. You realize it is going to cost you more than the amount they say you owe to continue fighting to the end, and their resources are inexhaustible. So, you agree to pay. Then they know they had you, and they discount there asking price to their originally goal amount (because their ask was high to begin with...this was a negotiation, and they asked for more than they thought they were entitled to), and dismiss the case. Then they move on to the next guy.
Then again, maybe they have a different process for Democrat donors. Hmmm. Yeah, you will probably have a much better experience.
It will work same as w/ medical billing fraud auditors-paid by amount of"fraud"they find,& fired
if they don't hit their quota.
You’re on to them now!
They are going to completely change how they pay people to fit your conspiracy theory.
Goodnight.
Though they could use same model, they'll simply make continued employment by any model contingent

While no one enjoys paying taxes, even oil companies need their subsidies funded and the IRS has
been getting 'defunded' for years now...mostly at the behest of the GOP that gets very annoyed when their "tax exempt" dark money pipelines get investigated and interrupted.

Now they're hiring brown shirts.
Hardly surprising you sing along.
Indeed. Time to defund the FBI. Then just slowly, very slowly, build up the US Marshalls.
(no message)
All of the taxes the new IRS hires will go after have already been approved by Congress...and as the
article I appended shows, there will be a definite focus on corps and the wealthiest Americans...'cause that's where the 'bang for the buck' is...but there are also other targets, which the GOP would like the IRS to leave alone...those "tax exempt" organizations that allow unnamed donors to pour millions of dollars into for political campaigns...not sure what color shirts they're wearing but they just might have to appreciate "Orange" as in 'jump suit' before too long.
That's not where the bang for the buck is, clown.
The wealthy have tax lawyers who will drag this shit out interminably.
The bang for the buck will be jacking up the auto mechanic making $60k for the $875 in a 1099-misc that he didn't file from selling dear departed mom's Hummel collection on Ebay. A single threatening letter gets that cash plus penalties.
Fool.
I didn't read your stupid article.
And I have no interest in your mental gymnastics defending the addition of armed tax enforcers.
And they're not going after the 1%. No need to spin such nonsense.
LOL...is that your version of "Plausible Denial"...man up...read something that challenges your
pre-conceived notions...the article I posted shows that in 2011, the IRS audit rate for the Top 1%ers was 8%, but due to 'defunding' that rate dropped to slightly more than 2%...don't tell me that there's no connection...yes, indeed the IRS will be getting more 'bang for their buck' with the new hires...
Nice try...but next time do some homework (i.e. reading) first so you don't look so foolish.
Let’s see if he releases the affidavit on which the warrant was based.
THAT is the key document in this drama,
What conditions are required for that to happen?...does Trump have to be charged with a crime first?
(no message)
I don't practice in ths area... and I'm disinclined to do the research,
I suspect it will remain sealed unless Trump is actually indicted for something.
Then he might have access to dertermne if the evidence against him was illegally obtained.
The search warrant affidavit is the “meat” of a search warrant.
It is the narrative of the “ask” — the justification as to why law enforcement believes that fruits of a specified crime will be found in a particular place. There must be probable cause — that is a “fair probability” why law enforcement believes fruits of a crime will be discovered in the place to be searched. Probable cause requires some level of corroboration to match what the informants provide.
The search warrant is the cover sheet, — what the judge signs to authorize the search and articulate the scope of the search.
But, regarding sealing and unsealing a search warrant, the search warrant and the affidavit go hand in hand.
The federal magistrate directed DOJ to reply to media motion to unseal warrant.
The Court did not order DOJ to unseal the warrant. Rather, he’s asking DOJ to provide the Court with the legal authority why media outlets ought not have access to an ongoing investigation.
If the point of the search (or seizure) warrant was to recover stolen highly classified national security material, then my guess is that DOJ will oppose sharing highly classified information with the public.
Assuming the media outlet’s motion is denied, then your ilk will kick ‘n scream about a conspiracy to plant evidence to taint your boy.
Someday, your Crazy Train ride will end.
You seem strangely personally invested and affected by this Trump warrant thing.
I wonder why. It’s odd.
And considering the FBI knows that President Trump can release the warrant at any time, this should be pretty straightforward. The affidavit would be different.
Can you imagine Lancey saying, "this Obama warrant thing."
Imagine being stupid enough to support a Banana Republic.
Not today, Satan!

Strangely, some people think this unprecedented action is cause for concern and want explanations.
A raid rather than a subpoena for the specific documents in question? Obviously there are two points of view on whether the documents were properly taken by Trump. Why not prove they shouldn’t have been in court? Was it necessary to have agents with those dreaded AR-15 look-alikes loitering around? Isn’t it strange that 80% of the media considers this raid proof of guilt? Etc etc etc
Not sure why the FBI is drawing long guns at a residence protected by the Secret Service. Expecting
...a shootout with the SS?
Or it was made up.
Either one.
Google the pictures, chief. They are everywhere.

There's no question about whether or not the documents taken were improperly taken. Not only that,
Trump signed a bill that increases the punishment for doing so back in 2018.
"Tucked into a bill Trump signed into law in January 2018 was a provision increasing the punishment for knowingly removing classified materials with the intent to retain them at an “unauthorized location.”
"...a person convicted of violating this law can face up to five years in prison ― making it a felony-level offense to mishandle classified documents under 18 U.S.C. 1924."
Yes, it was necessary for the FBI to do their jobs following protocol. The only reason we know the warrant was served was because Trump told us it happened.
Otherwise, we might not have known about it for some time.
No it isn't strange - He has straddled breaking the law all his life and has been found guilty of fraud several times. Once with charities, once with his Trump University ...
He has cheated on his taxes, withheld payment to contractors, has attempted a coup of the government, tried to change vote counts in Georgia, falsely presented
electoral ballots to change the outcome of the last election...
He's lied to Americans for the last 6 years - Let's see, hmmmmmm! He was asked to return the 15 boxes of material to their proper place, didn't send back all the classified material having instead
placed documents in his safe....
Let's try and figure this out - why would (by your figures) 80% of the media side with the guilty side? Gee, I cannot imagine why. Maybe you can help out...
Dim has absolutely no idea what is going on, but he is damn certain about it.
As per usual.
Correct my post if you’re so confident, Piggles.
Make a claim and back it up.
But as usual, you cannot. You are wrong, again. It’s a good day for you. Batting 1.000
Your claims are laughable, Dim
Because you have absolutely no idea what is going on.
Here's my claim: Everything you wrote above is wrong. You can rebut with authoritative links at some time in the future when we will perhaps know what the fuck is going on. That probably won't be until Jim Jordan leads the inquiry in early 2023. Enjoy!
Well of course I'm wrong - Trump didn't have to pay $millions for his fraudulent university. He
wasn't ordered to pay a fine for his fraudulent charities and ordered (as well as his family) from creating anymore charities. He hasn't lied on his taxes
vis a vis showing properties worth X then claiming in bank statements they are worth XY and he isn't being questioned in those cases in NY State. He
didn't ask Georgia voting official to find him 11K + votes. He didn't present Pence with phony electoral counts. He didn't withhold payments to
contractors in NYC for work on his companies properties. All this is made up.
He wasn't impeached twice. He didn't conspire to overturn the 2020 elections. He didn't foment violence at the Capitol Building on 1/6.
None of it happened. It's all a hoax.
As for Mar a Lago - why would anyone think he has in his possession sensitive and classified documents that are not for him to take?
It's all partisan crap imagined by the D's.
Maybe everyone should just chill and let it play out.
Agreed it’s unprecedented. As is Trump and his actions to date, including ignoring subpoenas.
Do FBI agents carry AR-15s? That would also be odd. But…you probably made that up.
And now you care about what the media says? Why now?
And none of that changes the fact that Baron has posted about this 457 (approximate) times in the past day.
Holy shit, I’m going to need therapy. I gave Jim this same “wait and see” speech
Yesterday. Of course he accused me of defending Trump. But the fact that we agree troubles me.
Cool. Did you post the same to Baron, Cole, etc.?
