According to reporting, this raid was ostensibly not tied to any of the pre-existing criminal investigations though - onstensibly, it was conducted to retrieve classified documents, which is ofc bullshit.





The government communication in the documents which the FBI ostensibly tried to retrieve should still fall under executive privilege.



McDonalds is okay... but eating his steaks "well done", that's the true crime!


got a new favourite word? anyway, meanwhile in reality:

of course i would always expect someone like you to just uncritically follow the hypocritical pearl clutching of right wing outrage media, but that's just make believe...

I wouldn't call what they did "storming." They informed Secret Service, DeSantis, etc. well before arriving and only sent in 30 agents for a MASSIVE property. In the podcast I referenced, they actually made the argument that the DOJ should NOT comment because it would be a violation of procedure. The procedure exists for a reason. Given the amount of people who would have to be involved, I can't imagine that this was taken lightly. What makes you think that this is "selective enforcement?" Wouldn't it be selective enforcement to allow Trump to break the law?


It would only be selective enforcement if other politicians had been similarly prosecuted for taking classified or declassified documents home. Was Hillary ever "held accountable" for hosting material which belonged to the govenrment and was criticial to national security on her private property, or for physically destroying it once she was under investigation?

Imho, the outrage is not at Trump being held accountable per se, the outrage is at Trump being held accountable for actions which seem to have been common among politicians and were never prosecuted this resolutely in other prominent cases.

That article basically says things that have been being said for, almost a year now? Anyways I had to respond to the picture you posted. Basically everybody in the history of American law has “pleaded the fifth”. I am assuming you are not an American, because anybody who has even gotten a speeding ticket and wants it reduced “pleads the fifth” (which is never actually said, it is simply how it works) and the lawyer speaks for them. You post such silly things and think there is some deep context hidden within these silly pictures.

Yes. She was subpoenaed, put under investigation, etc. She would have been "raided" too if she hadn't complied. Hell, Comey even broke procedure and made the investigation public which is one of the worst things you can do. There are other high profile cases too like David Petreaus who had pleaded guilty.

I'm not surprised that you're fantasizing about "buttery males".

You conveniently forgot that she casually destroyed evidence without being adequately prosecuted or punished for it.
Petreaus was directly sharing classified info which was critical to national security with a non-cleared person who was a literal journalist.

I'm not conveniently forgetting anything because Comey explicitly explained why there wasn't an indictment. Are you suggesting that Trump be prosecuted for this? I haven't seen an indictment yet so why are you even bringing up prosecution?
