Do you ever question why Trump's support actually went up when the Democrats started their lawfare? I'll fill you in....it's because people with an operating brain and able to detect bs when they see it recognized what was happening and it pissed them off.

They watched the worst administration I have ever seen inflict massive damage on this county, lie to the American people over and over again, the border is secure, Biden is a gymnast behind the scenes, and when they realized the gig was up, tried to eliminate the Republican frontrunner through bs lawfare.

It didn't work, thank God, and 1.5 billion dollars plus another 20 million in the hole wasn't enough to pull the most unqualified nominee ever, Kamala Harris, across the finish line. And if you casted a vote for her after having watched her performance and considering what she was a part of the previous 4 years, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe realign your thinking to where loyalty to a party doesn't outweigh your loyalty to the prosperity and safety of this country.

So I have a suggestion for the Democrats if and when they get another chance, how bout running the country like you have some actual common sense and you might not have to resort to such extremes in order to try and win the next election.

Back the blue right, unless it's the FBI, or the CIA, or the unfortunate officers trying to protect the Capitol and congressmen from redneck retards. America, thanks to you, just got a lot more dangerous, and I am very much looking forward to that! Fuck you!
 

FBI must disclose more info about Trump classified docs case, judge rules​

The judge noted that while the dropped charges against Trump reduced his criminal exposure, they “ironically” made him more susceptible to public scrutiny.


“The dismissal of criminal charges against Donald Trump for concealing classified records at Mar-a-Lago eliminated a significant barrier to making records about the probe public, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said Trump’s election as president — which forced the end of the criminal case — combined with the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity mean Trump is effectively insulated from any criminal responsibility for his conduct.

That means the FBI’s previous reasons for refusing to gather and disclose records related to the probe no longer apply, Howell wrote in a ruling in a Freedom of Information Act case brought by journalist Jason Leopold. She noted that while the dismissal of charges against Trump may have reduced his criminal exposure, it “ironically” made him more susceptible to public scrutiny for his conduct.
“With the far dampened possibility of any criminal investigation to gather evidence about a president’s conduct and of any public enforcement proceeding against a president, the [Supreme Court’s] decision … has left a FOIA request as a critical tool for the American public to keep apprised of a president’s conduct,” Howell ruled.

She ordered the FBI to comb its records for documents responsive to the FOIA request and confer with Leopold about a timetable for release, providing an update to the court by Feb. 20.

Howell’s ruling comes amid an effort by public interest groups and congressional Democrats to access former special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on Trump’s concealment of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after his first term. Trump faced dozens of felony charges in the case until they were dismissed by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who ruled last year that Smith’s appointment was unlawful. …

“…Howell noted that the investigators who led the Trump probe, whom she described as “dedicated public servants who worked on and have the deepest knowledge of the facts underlying this investigation” had been “summarily fired by the new Trump Administration.”

And Howell wrote with disdain for the high court’s immunity ruling, quoting freely from the liberal justices’ dissenting opinion that described it as a “mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that no man is above the law.”

“Of course, while the Supreme Court has provided a protective and presumptive immunity cloak for a president’s conduct, that cloak is not so large to extend to those who aid, abet and execute criminal acts behalf of a criminally immune president,” Howell added in a stinging footnote. “The excuse offered after World War II by enablers of the fascist Nazi regime of ‘just following orders’ has long been rejected in this country’s jurisprudence.”

Howell added that the ruling may have insulated the president criminally but could open doors to public records requests, given FOIA’s command “to allow the citizenry to ‘know what its government is up to.’”
 
Is he counting the value of the highly classified documents he illegally stole and hid, if they were somehow to find their way into the hands of the wrong people?
