    Since 2015, Trump, in spades, Trump associates, and maybe a few Republicans.

    Hillary and Hunter???? Are you pulling my leg?? Hillary -- the one the FBI announced that she was guilty of a felony but nobody cares so have a nice day, Hillary (per the Director of the FBI). Hunter -- the one the FBI said nothing here....... it is all made up stuff by Russia. I don't doubt some Democrats were arrested for this or that along the way (do you have any idea how many people are arrested in a year???). Do you believe that lets law enforcement off the hook for a high level concentrated incessant concerted effort to destroy the political opposition?

    So now Hunter isn’t even being investigated??
    Always an excuse when the reality doesn’t fit the ridiculous narrative.
    When the fbi director accuses Trump of crimes a week before the election, you can complain. Until then Trump has been treated better than Hillary.

    One week after the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago mansion Donald Trumpon Monday made what appear to be false allegations against the FBI, claiming the Bureau “stole” his passports in “an assault on a political opponent.” That same day he gave an interview to Fox News repeatedly mentioning the “anger” he says stretches across the country over federal agents’ execution of a lawful search warrant and confiscation of 20 cartons of materials that include highly-classified documents, while wrapping that in an offer to “do whatever” to help.

    So they did it to Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and George Bush that would be what routine means.

    And that's why you'll never be in charge, good grief. You do realize he's protected 24/7 by the Secret Service, right? You do realize the secret service is in his residence, right? Can you guys ever admit things may have gone to far, at least the FBI did after Trump reminded them anyway and immediately returned the passports.

    If the DOJ obtains probably cause enough to get a judge to sign a search warrant, it should be the same for everyone. The whole point here is holding people accountable for their words and actions if such causes harm or breaks the law, no matter what office they hold or how much money they have. If they'd had such probable cause where other presidents are concerned, it would be the same.

    How partisan do you think I am? There are reasons why I've never registered with any party. I'll leave the extreme bias to those who support liars and cheaters for the sake of ideology.

    What does that have to do with the bit you highlighted?

    I was looking for a response from a Trump supporter about his complete disregard for the violence, and threats of violence, taking place in his name. One of his ardent supporters got himself killed when he decided, for Trump's sake, to walk into his local FBI office and fire a nail gun. Complete and utter silence from Trump on that, or on any if it. Trump could stop it all with a single effing statement. Why won't he do that?

    How so?

    Sorry, I'm in no mood to interpret another cryptic one-liner from a rightie. Not snarling at you, just weary at the number of this sort of reply from right wingers and pro Trumpers on this forum. So please, if you have a cogent point to make, be clear. If it was nothing more than a veiled insult, please don't reply. Thank you.

    Insistence on the imaginary.
    Post your regressive trash on Twitter they'll all agree with your.
    Good now I know how to reply to you in the future.
    Already did, you couldn't accept it. If you need an echo chamber I'm glad to disappoint.

    Like what on a passport. The passport will have stamps from foreign immigration offices stating that you passed through a point of inspection, date, time, etc. It has your name, address, date of birth, and picture on it, and that's it. Since passports with ten year length, there is no dirt, not even if Trump has a stamp in Beijing International Airport prior to him running for President. Not that it is illegal or anything.

    We told you they were lying when the FBI claimed they didn't have the passports. It's generally safe to assume that they are lying. They lie all the time.

    Jonathan Turley has some thoughts on the DOJ's 'selectively leaked' info

    "George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley basically says the Biden DOJ doesn’t want the affidavit made public because they’re having a good time controlling the narrative through leaks to the media that’s more than happy to pass along what they’re being fed without question:"

    Without the affidavit, they can lie all they want to the lying fake news media that happily passes on whatever narrative promotes the political goals of the DNC in this political prosecution aimed at fixing the 2024 election.

    "The latest leak suggests that the FBI acted on a subpoenaed security tape from outside the storage room at Mar-a-Lago. While the DOJ demands a total seal on the affidavit to protect the integrity of the investigation, these details continue to be selectively leaked..."

    The FBI/DOJ/AG are wholly lacking in integrity.

    Turley Continues:
    "Attorney General Garland has not taken even modest measures to assure the public that this is not a politically motivated investigation."

    That's because it is. It's a deeply unethical political prosecution, by an unelected rogue Executive Branch agency, aimed at illegitimately fixing the 2024 election.

    Turley Continues:
    "...It is unlikely that the court will reject the DOJ demand for a continued seal. However, that offers little transparency while these confidential sources continue to frame the coverage through these leaks."

    And they are shocked to discover that they are widely viewed as completely lacking in trustworthiness?

    "It is the leaking from the Justice Department that is fueling speculation. While Garland says that he is deeply concerned about people questioning the integrity of his Department, he has done little to quell such speculation or to address these concerns."

    Merrick "Parents are Terrorists" Garland is probably orchestrating the illicit leaks.

    [​IMG]
    Shrinking AG.

    This shriveled up piece of crap is also running interference on appointing an SC to investigate Hunter Biden which is precisely the purpose of the SC. "A special counsel would be expected to publish a report that would detail the scope of the Biden family’s" "influence peddling and foreign contacts."

    Turley Continues:
    "This country is a powder keg and the FBI has a documented history of false statements to courts and falsified evidence in support of a previous Trump investigation." "As his department leaked like a sieve, Garland withheld the document that would set the record straight."

    That's because Garland is underhanded and the truth exposes him.

    "Garland has not responded to new allegations of bias at the FBI and Justice involving the downplaying of evidence involving the Hunter Biden laptop controversy."

    Garland actually isn't very good at this, that is why he always looks like crap.

    Turley Continues:
    "Concerns also have been raised about the decision to appoint the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Detroit office to lead the Washington, D.C., office. The agent, Steven M. D’Antuono, led the disastrous investigation of the alleged plot to 'kidnap' Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer." This was "clear entrapment and abuse by the FBI. Given the importance of the January 6 investigation, it is baffling that the Department of Justice would make this controversial transfer at this time."

    Steven M. D’Antuono is their crook who isn't afraid to do the really dirty work, but, as the Michigan fiasco showed, he isn't very good at being a crook either. He's more dirty than skilled.

    The Mar-a-Lago raid was the crooked FBI/DOJ/AG's latest “insurance policy” 'against a Trump presidential run.'

    They honestly expected America to believe that they had to search Melania's drawers for nuclear secrets? If these guys weren't so dangerous it would be funny. These lying arrogant thugs think they can openly attempt to rig yet another election? They are completely out of hand.

    83 days and we begin the Restoration of The Rule of Law!

    When the FBI involved in political attack ... just might as well assume they are lying .. cause sure as heck should not assume they telling the truth. Just a horrible track record.

    Speaking of which - track record of Red and the Rule of Law not to good either .. so won't be holding breath .. albeit Blue has gone so far off the turnip truck they may effect some small movement back in the sane direction .. which they will tout highly .. while leaving the status quo largely intact.

    Forget it. I refuse to engage. You aren't debating an issue, you're simply lashing out at people who don't agree with you. That's been your MO on every thread you visit. You can't be civil.

    Happy to put you on Ignore.

    1. Some countries stamp them, most don't bother ... everything is electronic.

    2. Your address does not appear on your passport. Too many people don't stay put that long.

    I'm still waiting for a Trump supporter to defend his complete disregard for the violence, and threats of violence, taking place in his name. One of his ardent supporters got himself killed when he decided, for Trump's sake, to walk into his local FBI office and fire a nail gun. Complete and utter silence from Trump on that, or on any if it. Trump could stop it all with a single effing statement. Why won't he do that?

    Biden is already elected. It's OK to investigate Hunter now.

    What they searched for is not what they told the judge in order to get a warrant.
