    Yes, I desire to see him subjected to the rule of law. But that isn't what you asked.

    From Eric, LOL! The FBI notified the Secrete Service hours before they executed the warrant.

    The fact that they went to a magistrate for a high profile case such as this is suspicious of itself.

    Oh, so he was "discussing" his theft of classified documents with the Archives for over a year, but still never returned the documents. That makes him totally exonerated for the 1500th time!

    Man, what a logical post!

    Based on the reports, the preponderence ironically was largely based on previous cooperation. That's actually rather weak in my opinion, especially if they come up empty in the search. It isn't that they had evidence, but rather they were looking for where they think they can find evidence. It's a rather circular argument by the DOJ. I didn't really pay as much attention to some of these other problems, but this saga is far from over and like Turley said, Garland could've saved himself a lot of headache via the appointment of a special counsel.

    Trump believed that he was wronged. Would you have him do nothing? Can you prove that he wasn't wronged? Worse, why do you continue to support his being persecuted in this way? You seem willing to ignore the constitution when it suits you.

    If you cared about character and values, you wouldn't be questioning mine for calling out an obvious grift, or frame-up the dems have invented.
    Much of what you say is true- but you avoid the obvious. When investigation and prosecution is selectively used to further a political goal, you aren't looking at justice- but at corruption.
    That is obviously the case here, and an unprecedented abuse of the law. And if you don't think that perception of this event "sticks", you aren't following the news at all. The recognition of this is being echoed far and wide by very reputable voices.

    When an investigation revolves around corrupt motives, the "evidence" that might be produced is tainted from the beginning. It falls under the the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine and any legitimate court throws it out. This isn't a legitimate investigation- it's a "gotcha" kind of legal entrapment. Dead in the water in any honorable court, and reflecting the absence of morality and character in those who invented the scheme.

    No, it isn't my poorly informed friend. Magistrates can approve warrants, and the FBI doesn't "go to" the judge or magistrate of their choosing. Jesus.

    Of course, Joe has a choice he is responsible for that has been imposed on Abbot against his will. Abbot is sending Joe a sample of it.

    No, he doesn't. And nobody has to offer proof that his claim is incorrect.

    “New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities.
    “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
    “So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.””
    THE HILL, Schumer: Trump ‘really dumb’ for attacking intelligence agencies, BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 01/03/17.

    Sounds like there is a link to the Epstein link. Biden? using Epstein as leverage? That looks pretty suspicious.

    Everybody has done something wrong, there is such a mass of regulations and laws nobody can conform to all of them. Some say the average person unknowingly violates about three a day.
    The real issues should relate to harm or damages done, if any. But to turn the mountain of legalese into political weapons- that is a premeditated crime.

    First requirement to argue for the left is to master the art of dodgeball, then the art of denial. You've done well grasshopper- as far as you have gone.
    Now try the art of honor.

    Given you are never wrong in your own mind, I can see where you would feel that way.

    Pretty much everyone breaks the speed limit, only Trump was the only POTUS to violate the presidential records act.

    They’re actually not here illegally, they’re awaiting a hearing, which is legal

    Another suspicious element of this affair is why after all this time did the FBI fear Trump might destroy the documents after they were in his possession for almost two years. Were they watching that idiot on television speaking about (and showing a picture of) that scrap of paper being flushed? Imagine flushing 15 boxes of documents down the *******. Who does that kind of stuff? Not a single fireplace on the premises?

    He was "cooperating" by refusing to return documents that he had no right to possess for over a year?

    Hmm. That doesn't seem to fit the definition.

    "Based on the reports, the preponderence ironically was largely based on previous cooperation." "The preponderance ironically" is ironic in that it's missing a word. I think/hope we'll eventually know what they came up with ... or not. IF, AG Garland had appointed a special counsel you would have respected it as much as you've respected the Select Committed; not that what the sellout Turely has to say means much.
