Open Thread | What A Week

We had a week where the residence of the former President of the United States was served a duly signed by a judge Search Warrant, and the FBI executed said Search Warrant.
Then, Dolt45, as he usually does, goes out and lies about the DOJ and what they did, and how they don’t want to reveal what they ‘supposedly’ got.
Then, the Attorney General of the United States stepped to the mike and yelled CHECKMATE, BYTCH, to the former President, saying that they have filed to papers to have the warrant unsealed.

I loved the segment on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show, where he showed clip after clip of Republican lawmakers screeching how the DOJ is just hiding, and that they should unseal the warrant. Not one of them has said shyt since Attorney General Garland had his press conference.

We now find out the process. We know that the DOJ sent people who get the documents. That they sent a subpoena for the documents. We know that Dolt45’s lawyer lied to the DOJ about them having the complete set of records. Once they figured that out, THAT is when the DOJ went in for the warrant.

There are so many questions:
1. What was in those documents?
2. Was the NOC List of our spies in those documents?
3. Was it nuclear material in those documents?

The entire line of garbage that somehow DOlt45 had the ability to just ‘declassify’ materials cause he said so…no…there’s an entire process that has to happen, and there is absolutely nothing on file to back up his claim that he officially declassified anything.

I am also fascinated by the stories of:
1. The DOJ has the surveillance tapes of Mara-lago.
2. The DOJ dusting for fingerprints on the documents.

Why did Jared get $2 Billion from Saudi Arabia?
Why did Munchin get $1 Billion?

These are additional questions that need to be answered.

But, this is the part of the play where anyone with sense understands that he who runs and spills their guts to the DOJ first gets the best deal.

That Dolt45 would betray this country is obvious. It’s so absolutely obvious.

And, we haven’t even gotten back to the 1/6 Committee and them obtaining all of those texts from Alex Jones.

And, we still have the work of AG Tish James of New York and DA Fani Willis in Georgia to contend with – both of these women aren’t playing and are just plugging away, searching for the truth.

DO Nothing Twitter, and the pundits who whined about AG Garland owe the man an apology. Just because he’s not leaking to you. or telegraphing the work of his office in 280 characters on Twitter doesn’t mean that he’s not doing the needed work.

Which brings us to the MSM, who is hurt.
They are hurt that there were no leaks.
They are hurt that they can’t BOTH SIDES this, no matter how much they want to.
They have done their best to gaslight us and minimize the danger that Dolt45 has always posed to this country.
They desperately want him back, and have done what they could to minimize the 1/6 Committee and their findings…
Because they miss Dolt45, and want him back so that they can sell more books and get more clicks.

But, they will just have to deal. Nobody is playing with them either.
No less than the Evil One himself, called Dolt45 the greatest threat this country has ever seen.
The man who Satan won’t let into Hell, calls Dolt45 the greatest threat this country has ever seen.

And, crazy enough, no lie told.

    If the polling is accurate and the Democrats could actually expand their control of the Senate—and maybe even hold the House?—it is crucial to understand those results as a desire for more extensive and radical reform.

    If you manage to expand your control of the legislature in a midterm election that looked like it was going to wipe you out a month ago because a) you passed an omnibus bill and b) people are pissed off at the Supreme Court, that’s a resounding endorsement of MORE action.

    Ladies and gentlemen, it seems to me that a lot of you do not know the difference between the FBI, CIA, and DOJ.

    Let me break it down.

    DOJ – the Criminal Justice System of the United States of America. Led by Attorney General.

    FBI – The law enforcement officers of the DOJ

    Jay McGill, Disgruntled Citizen of Gilead (@Jay_McGill94) tweeted at 10:40 PM on Mon, Aug 15, 2022:
    FBI – Led by a Director, the equivalent of a police commissioner. They are the law enforcement officers. The FBI arrests you if you commit a federal crime and the DOJ slaps the (federal) charges on you.

    You are then tried in federal court and will face a federal judge.

    Jay McGill, Disgruntled Citizen of Gilead (@Jay_McGill94) tweeted at 10:40 PM on Mon, Aug 15, 2022:
    If convicted, you are sent to federal prison, which is overseen by the Prison Bureau of the DOJ.

    CIA- The Central Intelligence Agency. Part of the US Intel Community.

    Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

    1/ If you need a post-weekend update on where we are with Trump’s shifting excuses for having top secret classified information at Mar-a-Lago, recovered when DOJ executed a search warrant last week, here we go. Saturday night is the new big news night.

    Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) tweeted at 6:33 AM on Mon, Aug 15, 2022:
    2/ Whether the materials found in Trump’s possession at MAL are classified is largely irrelevant to the question of whether DOJ will charge him (or anyone else). None of the 3 crimes DOJ says it’s investigating in its search warrant require proof materials were classified.

    Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) tweeted at 6:35 AM on Mon, Aug 15, 2022:
    3/ The laws DOJ convinced a judge there was probable cause to believe had been broken included the espionage act & obstruction. That last one is interesting in light of Saturday reports Trump lawyer(s) told DOJ in writing everything classified was turned over in June. Oops, no.

    Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) tweeted at 6:41 AM on Mon, Aug 15, 2022:
    4/ But Trump’s claim, after trying out other excuses, that it was ok b/c he’d declassified the material is shocking, if unsurprising. IF his claim is true, at best it means Trump put his convenience ahead of the nation’s safety. Congress has asked for a risk assessment from DNI.
