    If there are any then team Trump can file a request for a special master.

    Are you talking about incestual relations now? Yes, they'd be going to jail for that, but not if they're in California. Isn't it legal there or something?:)

    Try reading the news. Or at least do a Google search before asking questions that has been answered.

    I saw some report claiming they asked, but they need to file the request with the court.

    Ok, I'll be generous with you. The passports were return by the FBI.

    It's the standard operating procedure. One team seizes the documents, and another team analyzes the documents to determine if it meets the guidelines for a search warrant are met. Because the items were returned in a day, the court will presume reasonableness on behalf of the FBI in their due diligence. If they were kept say, for a year, and later discovered that the FBI still had them, then serious questions will need to be asked.

    I’ll be generous and point out I’m talking about attorney client privilege and a special master

    I find it extremely hypocritical that the people who cry out for inclusion, diversity and tolerance while chanting love trumps hate as they drive around with coexist bumper stickers can display such bigotry and hate, maybe even racism.

    Trump's not going to get a refund on Mel then? Maher may as well turf that receipt. Aahh, the faux outrage!

    People are not understanding how long it takes to sift through thousands of items and documents. We had people complaining that 30 agents was too many and they stayed too long. I'm sure they would have preferred a team of 100 agents on Trump property.

    Short attention span? (Kidding!)

    As I stated on a related thread, passports are the property of the federal government, and granted as a privilege to law-abiding citizens. They can retrieve them at will, but only do so if they have good reason. Nobody "stole" Trump's passport. The passports may have been listed on the search warrant, or maybe the FBI confiscates them temporarily when executing a warrant, perhaps to deny the target a chance to flee.

    Since they haven't released the affidavit presented to the judge, how do you know why they did any of this? The affidavit is where Garland would have spelled out the specifics of what they were looking for and why. Anything we claim here about the why of this is pure, made up bee ess.

    And FYI, it's parameters, not barometers.

    I would pay to see Donald Trump climb aboard a Chinese submarine. Maybe his over-long necktie will get tangled around the periscope. A girl can dream . . .

    Oh please ... Trump is never finished. He's been a grifter all his life, and has never been held accountable. I gave up hoping for accountability when he skated right past the "grab 'em by the ....." recording and got elected anyway.

    But that wasn't even a legally accountable moment....

    When he was named as Individual 1 by the SDNY, fingered by his co-conspirator, with payback checks as evidence, in one of the most obvious campaign finance violations I can think of??

    THAT's some serious skating...

    Sounds like college all over again...

    That response was so predictable that I almost included it in my post. It’s also the ‘it’s different when we do it’ routine. Like I said, hypocrisy.
