    They generally search when it is likely, given time and opportunity, the subject would destroy the evidence they seek, like flush it down the toilet. 8)

    And as we just found out Wray did Trump's bidding by turning over to him/WH all the tips/communications that came in about Kavanagh, resulting in the White House making the decisions who the FBI was to investigate.

    Indeed. They have no credibility.........just like their cult leader.

    And all they keep doing is bring up hunter, or Clinton or??? as they project their group delusions........on the Dems. Their fanatical adoration of trump is a kin to devotion to an autocrat....

    Snip:

    LUCAS: Well, as I said, the FBI and the Justice Department are not commenting on this. Trump, though, says in his statement that the agents got into his safe. That's as much detail as we have, and that is not confirmed. But we do know that the Justice Department is conducting an investigation into possible mishandling of government secrets by Trump. Remember, top secret papers were found at Mar-a-Lago after he left office. The National Archives and Records Administration has said that more than a dozen boxes of White House records and other items were at Mar-a-Lago. And these are things that, you know, should have been turned over to the National Archives when Trump left office in January of 2021.

    CHANG: Right. OK. And Ryan, I'm just curious, like, what would FBI agents need to do in order to conduct a search of Mar-a-Lago?

    LUCAS: Right. This isn't something that the local FBI field office would just be able to pop off and do on its own, right?

    CHANG: Yeah, yeah.

    LUCAS: They would have to get, of course - the agents would have to get a warrant from a federal judge. The investigators would have had to go to the judge and explain where they wanted to search, what they wanted to search for. And they would have to demonstrate that there was probable cause to believe that a crime had been committed and that evidence of that crime was at that specific location - so in this case, at Mar-a-Lago. The agents would have had to be specific as to why they think that evidence is there and why they think it's evidence of a crime.

    Something like this, where a former president is involved, is likely to get extra scrutiny from the judge signing off on the warrant, of course, but also extra scrutiny at the FBI and, of course, at the Justice Department - something that's likely to need signoff from the senior levels of the Justice Department itself. I asked the Justice Department whether the attorney general, whether Merrick Garland approved of this step. The Justice Department is not commenting. But again, this is a big step to take against a former president - in this case, former President Donald Trump.'

    Did T not know that all documents belong to the people/? and should not be removed from the premises??

    or did he care?? as in he believes he is so entitled that he can do whatever he wants and get away with it?? He seems to believe he is above the law. His arrogance is astounding. Even the Queen of England knows her boundaries. He acts like has none.That is psychopathy..

    If this was political they wouldn't have done it over two years before the election. They would have maximized the benefit at the last moment. Doing this now is useless unless they get a conviction.

    In this case, they must know they have conviction for a felony. Otherwise they never would have done it. That would only help trump and they know it.

    The media is missing the really, really big reason why the raid today is a potential blockbuster in American politics.

    Steve Bannon’s first reaction with Hannity is to complain that I am tweeting the applicable law that might apply to Trump. I knew I live rent free in their heads, but did not know Bannon monitors my twitter account

    Yes, I recognize the legal challenge that application of this law to a president would garner (since qualifications are set in Constitution). But the idea that a candidate would have to litigate this is during a campaign is in my view a "blockbuster in American politics."

    Just to be clear here, unless you happen to be the judge who signs that search warrant, neither you, nor I are entitled to that information. The person who needs to be convinced that there is probable cause/a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed, has a robe and jurisdiction. He does not have to tell you or anyone else at PF, and we don't need to engage in speculation for your benefit.

    Even the Repiublican senate confirmed the Trump-Russia connection.

    Denying that connnection is embracing a wild conspiracy theory.

    Most Republicans embrace that conspiracy theory, which indicates something about their judgement.

    Are you serious?

    I'm no lawyer by a long shot, but I think there's more than enough evidence to charge him, at the very least with dereliction of duty, conspiracy,, and sedition. However, I think this last one that resulted in the "raid" is probably about documents he stole.

    Compared to the 99% support you gave him before?

    Good for you!

    The wheels of justice grinding slow but fine, I would say. This is apparently related to the classified documents he took home to keep under the bed (or in the safe).
