That's one of the drawbacks of our system: The vote of a dumbass is as valuable as one of ours.

Appears there was a confidential informant at mar a lago that told the fbi exactly what docs were there and where. They targeted a personal safe in a bedroom, an office, and a storage room.

And as governator pointed out Trump betrayed himself by signing the Law that puts him in prison or at least from my understanding will bar him from any elected office.

Also this
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2071
18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
Quote:
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.

FBI warrant for search of Trump home may involve suspected violations of Espionage Act, former chief of DOJ national security says

LINK

Interesting read. What stood out to me was the mention of public records.

Quote:
McCord said that the Espionage Act is one of two federal crimes that prosecutors may be focusing on in their warrant to search Trump’s home. The other, she said, is another federal statute that targets anyone who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies or destroys public records.”

It mentioned Melania. Has anyone heard from her of late? She and Barron have dropped off the radar.

A lot of talking heads are talking about how the “raid” is “backfiring” by being a loud affair that is making Trump stronger within the party, but that in and of itself may be a political win. Trump, especially wounded with independents, is a much better 24 opponent than DeSantis. Biden won precisely because right of center leaning independents and republicans were tired of Trump.

I do not envy the FBI at all... Can you imagine.. They are like.. "Holy (bleep) Batman.. Look at these phones... We have 100 hundred cases here to deal with"

Was reading that the 15? boxes they told him to give back was 15 boxes of (bleep) her personally printed out and took home

I am guessing this is way more serious than voter scandals etc.. National Security

When people were talking about the type of secret data he could be selling it reminded me of one of the top generals who was talking with Melania and she was asking a lot about locations of US Nuclear Missiles.. he remarked on how knowledgeable she seemed to be.. I'll find it

Why is she asking for this info or conversing on it..

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/7/22/1963019/-WaPo-Joint-Chiefs-vice-chair-spoke-with-Melania-Trump-about-where-U-S-ICBMs-are-deployed-Why
Quote:
According to The Washington Post reporting, U.S. Air Force Gen. John E. Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the military’s second-highest-ranking officer allegedly was quizzed by Melania Trump about the location of the United States’ ICBMs.

“I also spent a lot of time talking to Melania Trump about the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields. She was more inquisitive and smarter than the president.”



The linked story Daily Kos produced theirs with is way long.. and it seems this general quoted above.. had a woman accusing him of sexual assault and Trump picked him.. *"I'll protect you if you help me" type of thing<<?

Quote:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/retired-col-kathy-spletstoser-wasnt-able-to-stop-joint-chiefs-vice-chairman-gen-john-hyten-from-being-confirmed-but-shes-not-done-with-him/2020/07/21/47855cfa-a1c1-11ea-9590-1858a893bd59_story.html
“The president is an idiot,” Spletstoser says Hyten told her and other staffers, according to notes she says she took during a briefing on the meal and later provided to investigators. “He is just a businessman without the basic understanding of national security. Everything is a business transaction for him and making money is winning to him and the only thing that matters.”

Hyten went on to say, according to Spletstoser’s notes, that “the president wanted to sell nuclear-powered submarines to the South Koreans, and I had to talk him out of it, explaining why this was a bad idea. Everything is about a business deal — that is how the president views things, through that lens.

“I also spent a lot of time talking to Melania Trump about the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields. She was more inquisitive and smarter than the president.”

Love this clip of Beto O'Rourke calling out someone who laughed at him during a town hall when he talked about how insanely lenient our gun laws are re: the Uvalde school shooting.
