    When served, the party is given a copy of the warrant with all relevant information including the judge’s signature, the scope, and the nature of the suspected crime.

    In 2016 the DNC elected Donald Trump because of the way it handled Bernie in favor of Hillary.

    In 2024 the DOJ elected Ron DeSantis in no small part because of the way it handled Donald Trump in 2022 in order to favor Hillary.

    Just ask Andrew Yang.

    It looks increasingly like the FBI raid was to find mishandled classified documents and not some other DOJ investigation which was my first thought. Mishandling documents doesn’t seem like raid material. It does however seem like excellent campaign material for Trump.

    @2,
    At this point, I’m pretty sure if you ask anyone who can credibly be described as “not a Republican”, they would tell you that in their opinion, based on all that we’ve witnessed for the last three years of impeachments and election conspiracies and armed MAGA rioters killing cops, that no Republican would ever even hint at holding Donald Trump criminally accountable to the law no matter what he was guilty of.

    And they’d follow up by telling you that any attempt by any Democrat to do the same would be met by the kind of sobbing and howling from Republicans we are witnessing today.

    So if you define that as “encouraging” and you object to it, you are declaring Trump to be above the law under all circumstances.

    You’re declaring that Trump is your monarch.

    The GOP will learn that abortion won’t be eliminated in the same way that Planned Parenthood will learn that abortion won’t be eliminated. Both side will learn some painful lessons in the process.

    Democrats, for instance, will learn that black and Hispanic voters don’t think about abortion rights the same way that far-left white libbies think about abortion rights. They’ll learn that in November.

    Raiding the home of a former president because he had scribbled on a dinner menu and took the menu with him is akin to strip-searching six occupants of a vehicle pulled over because the tail light flickered too much.

    #CrookedHillary’s homebrew server held thousands of classified documents, and some were at Top Secret level. Her home is shared with former president Clinton. She wasn’t held accountable for her classified document crimes until November of 2016.

    Trump said Monday that his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida was being “raided” by FBI agents in what he called an act of “prosecutorial misconduct.”

    “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” he said in a statement posted on his Truth Social network.

    One interesting overnight phenomenon, that really isn’t surprising, was how militant and violent the conversations on Parler, Truth, and cancervative corners of other larger social media platforms became. By early morning it was a general agreement that “this is war” and “the civil war is here”, etc.

    Maybe more interesting has been how the cancervative media companies respond to this, in part at least, by weaponizing it. Some of it is intended to produce political blow back. But some of it is really something else entirely.

    First, The New York Post reports the biographical details of the federal magistrate judge that Trump appointed in 2018. Now Sean Hannity has given out the judge’s home address and other identifying information during his radio show today. SDF has had to pull down all the judge’s bio information from the court website and the judge has been moved under protective detail.

    This is another kind of weaponization.

    https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/judge-who-approved-fbi-raid-on-mar-a-lago-once-linked-to-jeffrey-epstein/

    Which makes him as guilty of Epstein’s crimes as Ted Bundy’s lawyer was guilty of Bundy’s crimes.

    And the fact he donated a few bucks to Obama’s 2008 campaign doesn’t make he makes political decisions on the bench. That’s a Republican Supreme Court Justice thing above his pay grade.

    But don’t expect any Republican or rightwing media mouthpiece like the New York Post to have more than a kindergarten-level understanding of how the legal system work.

    He worked Palm Beach area as a AUSA, and his private practice was centered around Palm Beach. Although so far as anyone knows he was not personally acquainted with Donald Trump at the time of his appointment, he was very definitely known to a large number of Trump’s Palm Beach area supporters in the GOP, He worked alongside Associate Justice Drunken Teen GangBang in the Bush White House, and belonged to the Fed Soc like any good Republican seeking a lifetime appointment.

    We’ve gotta face it, the GOP isn’t a political party anymore, they’re a violent revolutionary movement plotting to overthrow our government and install a dictatorship. They’re America’s Bolsheviks, and Trump is their Lenin. If they succeed, a reign of terror will follow.

    61,
    Where did I say I didn’t think Kent could win?

    I just think it’s fairly obvious that between JHB and Kent, JHB is the stronger general election candidate and has a much better chance of winning in November.

    And perhaps more importantly, the nice, pretty car mechanic lady in grease spotted coveralls has been completely ignored by the Washington Democratic Party, the DCCC, Jay Inslee, and every other incumbent Democrat in the PNW. She entirely self-financed her campaign launch and put together a surprisingly efficient and effective team to finish in first place in a district that the GOP won by 13 points in 2020.

    Whichever dangerous Republican comes out ahead between JHB and Kent, Ms Perez deserves a lot more support having proved that she contends better than other, more established Democratic politicians. Winning is what matters. Not egos, or alliances. I think Perez has a much better chance of winning against Kent. But I think she has a very good chance either way, thanks to Republicans choosing to self-destruct at just the right time.

This is not our country.”

    “Our country should be terrified—I am terrified,” Habba exclaimed. She said the FBI went in when he wasn’t even there, and then told his attorneys to leave, that they couldn’t watch or be there. “That doesn’t sound good to me,” she declared.

    Habba said the agents came in wearing backpacks, and she was concerned that they could have planted things since they were trying to get the attorneys out of there. Habba said she believed this was all part of the effort to try to take Trump down, and that people were “working in tandem” with other efforts.

    This summer’s much-hyped congressional hearings on last year’s Capitol riot haven’t convinced Americans of former President Donald Trump’s culpability — with 40% indicating they would still back the 45th president if he ran again in 2024, according to a new poll.

    The Monmouth University survey released Tuesday also found that only 38% of Americans believe Trump was “directly responsible” for the violence on Jan. 6, 2021, compared to 42% who felt the same before the eight televised hearings held by the House select committee.
