Will the Justice department have to prove Mens Rea to put Trump behind bars for taking Presidential documents home when he left office? As I recall the FBI gave Hillary a pass for sending confidential documents back and forth from her home server on a somewhat similar excuse . Or is the fact that she is a democratic and he is a republican sufficient grounds to distinguish the cases in our brave new world?; 8/8/22, 7:39 PM

Dear God, I've seen three year olds do better putting their jackets on.

The man is clearly disoriented and not in control of his faculties.

When will this farce end.; 8/8/22, 8:12 PM

Her singing prowess was probably underrated, for somebody who sold over 100 million records.; 8/8/22, 8:14 PM

I had a TS/SCI clearance in the military. As President, Trump had the authority to declassify documents. That goes to intent, does it not?; 8/8/22, 8:47 PM

Narr said...: I was going to comment about the Trump raid without reading the 52 comments on that thread but thought I should go see what has already been laid down.

It does seem clear enough that the D's (temporary Tops of the DC BDSM cult) are growing desperate enough to attempt to snuff the guy out by any means necessary.; 8/8/22, 9:16 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Inflation Reduction Act gives IRS $80 billion, an increase of the agency’s budget by more than 600 percent.

It’s more like the inflation increase act.; 8/8/22, 9:31 PM
Narr said...: I hear from my reliable sources that as soon as the FBI opened Box 6 Folder 66 they found detailed notes and sketches in Trump's hands--

"Insurrecting the Capital" (get map/brochre from SS)
"Covevfe for P. B."
"Driving the Beast for Beginners" (get from SS)
"Pence, You're Fired!"
"Weekly Report for Vlad"

The tip of the iceberg.; 8/8/22, 9:45 PM

Kathy Hochul, Democrats demand ‘inmates’ must now be called ‘incarcerated person’

'While even some Democrats are calling for immediate legislative action to address rising crime, Gov. Kathy Hochul acted Monday to help the people getting arrested feel better about themselves.

Hochul signed into law a bill passed by the Democrat-controlled Albany legislature that replaces the word “inmate” with “incarcerated person” in state law...'

'...“Welcome to Democrat-controlled New York … Where the “incarcerated individuals” are running the asylum,” Michael Fraser, a spokesman for Assembly Minority Leader William Barclay said in a tweet.'

Maynard said...: The Biden Gestapo is going way over the top to treat the opposition (Trump, Roger Stone, J6 defendants and others) like common criminals because they want people to think of them as common criminals. This is not for the benefit for idiots and true believers like Fredo, Inga, gadfly and the usual suspects. It is for the poorly informed moderate suburban White women.

Be careful folks. If you don't stay in step, you will be next.; 8/8/22, 10:31 PM

Jaq said...: That "If this guy gets elected we'll all hang from nooses." quote from Hilary Clinton is looking more likely to be authentic every day.; 8/9/22, 5:50 AM
Jaq said...: Trump is guilty of governing while Republican. You don't flush docs down the toilet! You use burn bags! BTW, there are some handwriting issues with the flushgate docs. Apparently when making documents to flush, Trump used a different handwriting style.

https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2016/0705/Did-Hillary-Clinton-violate-protocol-by-using-burn-bags

BTW, she didn't just "violate protocol.' she violated black letter law in destroying records of meetings, as SoS, with foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation with business before the State Department.; 8/9/22, 6:33 AM
Lucien said...: The date of the raid proves the FBI are nazis. August 8 = 8/8 = HH = Heil Hitler. (As we all know from reading about violent extremist groups.); 8/9/22, 6:39 AM
hawkeyedjb said...: August 9, Nagasaki Day. After 6 years of world war and 60 million dead, President Truman finally brings an end to the horrors that have consumed humanity. My father was in the western Pacific, preparing for the invasion of Japan and awaiting his fate. It was his 25th birthday.; 8/9/22, 7:04 AM
