How do law enforcement decide whether to stand outside your locked bedroom asking you politely if you’ll please provide the key because their warrant is about to expire vs. pulling two sides of your house off with a tank? There’s literally no meaningful different between the people who get one and the people who get the other, unless for some bizarre reason the FBI are employing some kind of algorithm that combines financial parameters and melanin concentration? But why would they even bother? The science required to develop such an algorithm without inadvertently making it unfair to protected classes of citizens would surely outweigh any value they derived from using it. They’re hardly going to risk being caught out propagating racial injustice, they’d lose their careers.

They’re hardly going to risk being caught out propagating racial injustice, they’d lose their careers. There's no computer program or complicated decision tree that they consult. It's all done in their lizard subconscious, where they just know whether they can gently caress you up without consequence or not. Rich and powerful people, especially white ones, are treated different automatically. It's the same unwritten rules that determine if the cops are going to treat you like a criminal or a citizen from the second they begin any interaction. Plus the FBI is the agency most stuffed with Trump worshipping shitheads among the Feds. Maybe Border Patrol gives them a run for their money.

They’re hardly going to risk being caught out propagating racial injustice, they’d lose their careers. Probably the fact that the FBI had already found a bunch of classified documents and a fuckton of unclassified documents, and figured they had plenty of evidence for the prosecutor already? Or maybe the fact that Mar-a-Lago staff were (as far as the FBI knew) completely cooperative with the FBI's search warrant and made no noticeable attempt to obstruct them? (they weren't lying about not having the key) Or maybe the fact that Mar-a-Lago even had staff (and guests), and wasn't solely inhabited by the person they were investigating and his immediate family? Or maybe the fact that Mar a Lago is loving huge, with over a hundred rooms covering more than 62,000 square feet (about an acre and a half)? Or maybe the fact that the room in question had had its key managed by the Secret Service until a couple of months before the FBI raid? Or maybe the fact that the FBI isn't a SWAT team and doesn't typically roll in with overwhelming firepower when doing nonviolent searches? Rolling in with heavy firepower is typically the province of their Hostage Rescue Team, which (as the name implies) doesn't typically get mobilized to search the home of a cooperative target for evidence of white-collar crime. Violent drug busts are typically done by local police. There's actually a fuckton of differences between the two situations.

And yet having clear evidence of hundreds of counts of potentially the worst espionage and treason case ever seen they left a locked door unopened that was adjacent to the seized materials. I get what you are saying but that's not actually a, 'Trivial and totally understandable oversight totally within the norms of the situation'.

Well, he threw papers at the opposing attorney, stormed out. Told her he asked the staff to make her really bad sandwiches, then called her a c*nt on his way out. Then the lawsuit was dismissed. Can't blame a stupid tactic if it works.

The lawsuit getting dismissed didn't have anything to do with his behavior at the deposition, or even the merits of the case. The judge just thought it was better suited for state court, not federal court. Being a huge pissbaby during a deposition isn't something he should get sanctioned for or punished for, it's just mildly embarrassing and humiliating.

The Archive.ph links often fail on me. I'm not sure why. Anyway, I found something from a much less prestigious source: https://www.thedailybeast.com/fani-willis-finally-admits-personal-relationship-with-trump-special-prosecutor-nathan-wade?ref=home?ref=home quote:The motion also states that Wade and Willis did not have a personal relationship in Nov. 2021, when he was hired to oversee and investigate claims that Trump and his allies sought to interfere with the 2020 Georgia election. But, in Wade’s affidavit submitted in the filing, the special prosecutor admits, “attorney Willis and I developed a personal relationship in addition to our professional association and friendship.” What a mess. EDIT: Thanks to you guys for trying, but I tried clicking on those Archive.ph links and I get an error screen saying "archive.ph unexpectedly closed the connection." Is this browser dependent?

Willis (D) admitted she had a personal relationship with an outside prosecutor she appointed to manage the election interference case against former president Donald Trump and his allies but denied claims that the relationship had tainted the proceedings. In any case, the actually important question was never whether Willis was in a relationship with Wade, it was whether she was engaging in improper financial conduct to ensure that Wade could "[profit] significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers". And there has yet to be any evidence of that.

And there has yet to be any evidence of that. I was always taught to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, which seems like it would be a good guideline to follow if the stakes are as high as people say they are. Seems like an entirely self-inflicted wound by people who couldn’t figure out how to date someone that wouldn’t potentially destroy the biggest case of their careers, but I dunno, maybe it wasn’t a priority.
