Did we ever learn what was in all those boxes that Archives seized from Mar-a-Lago?

TulliusCicero posted:Based on the new fundraising fraud poo poo that came out going to guess it was related to that I used to believe this, too, before "the cruelty is the point". The folks that are this far down the rabbit hole with Trump just want to be a part of something. It will be effortless for them to come up with some justification for why they aren't a bunch of marks who got scammed. Case in point: QAnon is still going strong. Rigel posted:Legal experts I'm reading are basically saying that the January 6th committee has done all the DOJ's hard work. All they have to do now, if Garland wanted to, is just take their work and use it, and likely only a rogue jury could save Trump. feels like a Reverse Mueller: air all the dirty laundry in public first. negativeneil fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jun 13, 2022 |

Yeah but now we have to rely on Democrats having backbone. I don't see it.

I've watched clips. The frankness of the language is very refreshing and I want to hope. But the J6 panel speaking frankly costs them nothing. The DoJ has to actually prosecute this. I don't think they have the stomach for it.

Still pretty funny to hear how many people all over the government have an "Acting" title because so many government officials had jumped ship from this shitshow administration by the end.

At this point, I think the only  Biden's got is to announce criminal indictments against Trump and everyone involved and explain to the nation that he will not be pursuing a second term because he doesn't want there to be a perception that he's trying to knock out his likely opponent in the general.

DeathSandwich posted:You'd probably have to log both files and people in and out of a SCIF and if you're intention with classified documents is to crime with them, you probably want to avoid it. Ringo Star Get posted:Let's say Trump kept records to sell or "show off" to certain visitors - the DOJ and FBI would have proof of that and probably why the executed the warrant without any sort of leak or warning? My guess: the Feds bugged MAL when National Archives showed up a few months back to collect the docs. They telegraph to Trump pretty heavily what they want and what they know. Prior to this, they would have gained authorization from a Judge claiming that Trump taking boxes of classified docs justified surveilling the former President over concerns that he intended to misuse them. When NA collects everything, they inventory it and determine that a portion of what they asked for is missing, so now they know exactly what they're looking for. Maybe they even re-approach to say that it looks like some items are missing and he demures because he thinks everyone is stupider than he is. So, they wait until the surveillance shows he lied and where the docs are being held and now they have all the evidence they need to get a warrant application approved to raid MAL. It's either that or a close ally of Trump's ratted him out. Just seems odd that they knew what they were looking for and suddenly knew exactly where it was. negativeneil fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Aug 9, 2022 |

Hahaha what if Trump keeps the pardons in his safe as leverage over his minions? "You're free to come by MAL any time you want to check to make sure you're still in my good graces"

Am I reading correctly that in their own private emails they're describing the likelihood that Justice Thomas will help them as "1 percent"? Not really a smoking gun...

mobby_6kl posted:The smoking gun is that they knew the fraud claims were fraudulent when Trump made them. Thomas stuff is just a bonus Ahh ok that makes sense. Is their knowing the claims were bs something that's implicit in the "1 percent" statement or is there a more explicit admission? Because I could see them easily explaining the 1% as "we just assumed SCOTUS would be too scared to join us in our patriotic endeavors" or some poo poo.

I always figured "like a dog" was Trump's cutesy, palatable way of getting to say "like a bitch" in public.

As we've been over many times before, the court system is hitting him with kid gloves out of an abundance of caution so if they ever do hit him with something harder, no one can say they threw the book at him as a personal vendetta thing. But he will say it anyway, and millions of his dumbass followers will believe it. Yet they continue to give him every possible courtesy.

A strategy that most convicted fraudsters trot out at some point in their trial, I'm sure. I'm surprised the State hasn't explained by way of evidence that banks that loaned to him under false pretenses didn't have capital to subsequently lend out to other businesses who were operating in good faith. Hard to prove maybe, but easy to understand for the jury (that's the voters here)

Worth noting that if past is prologue, the mere consideration by those on the left of taking this type of action against Trump means that the GOP will actually do it in the next cycle. Slippery slope arguments don't make a lot of sense in the current climate. The GOP is greased at all times.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:Aren't most of the suites to get Trump off the ballot being brought to court by Republicans? This could be an effort carried out entirely by other Republicans and the Democrats will still be credited. The public will conflate this with the trials Trump is currently embroiled in, and they already largely frame those as partisan efforts to unfairly punish him for loving America too much.
