MAGA GOP, GFY. Republicans are using the incendiary claim — including comparisons of the FBI’s lawfully executed warrant to Nazi violence — to rile up their base and undermine the rule of law. They risk inciting violence from the same unhinged forces that stormed the U.S. Capitol. Trump’s alleged document removal implicates multiple criminal statutes, including Section 1924(a) of Title 18 in the U.S. Code, which prohibits removal and retention of classified documents, and Section 2071 of Title 18, which, as Just Security reports, “makes it a crime to willfully and unlawfully remove a government record with the intent to conceal or destroy it or to conceal or destroy such documents already in one’s custody.” GOP leaders vowing to investigate the FBI — in essence, stop the investigation in order to protect Trump — have no basis for their accusations of abuse of power. They certainly know a warrant requires probable cause, meaning the judicial branch has weighed in on the propriety of the search. Having joined in on the calls to “lock her up!” when Hillary Clinton was the subject of an FBI investigation, they ostensibly know these are serious matters. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/11/trump-mar-a-lago-search-media-gop-rhetoric/

Of course he was. The MAGA GOP is nothing but a fascist cult.

MAGA GOPers are so effing stupid. These morons are the only ones dumb enough to believe the orange psycho and his sycophants. And unfortunately, there are up to 74 million of the MAGA morons. HoyaTalk "Republicans," do you belong to the MAGA moron brigade and have jettisoned whatever is left of your Jesuit education?? The National Archives and Records Administration issued a statement Friday in an attempt to counter misstatements about former president Barack Obama’s presidential records after several days of misinformation that had been spread by former president Donald Trump and conservative commentators. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/12/trump-obama-national-archives/

A fascist and violent cult not the "party of law and order" - the MAGA GOP. Law enforcement leaders are raising alarms about threats to federal agents as prominent Republicans attack the FBI for its search of Donald Trump’s residence and as authorities investigate an attempted breach at an FBI field office in Ohio. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/12/fbi-threats-trump-search/

FBI apparently seized documents and photos regarding Roger Stone so maybe the plain view doctrine is in play and there is evidence of other criminal misconduct relevant to the 1/6 insurrection.

Remember how enamored he was of the Bastille Day Parade he saw in Paris with Macron and wanted to replicate it in Washington, DC?

MAGA morons. I worked in a SCIF for six years at DOJ, National Security Division. Our security officer used to sweep our offices on a random basis after we departed for the day in order to confirm that we had properly locked up and stored all our classified material. Only once, in six years, did I accidentally leave a TS/SCI document unsecured. The orange psycho's conduct here is egregious. The more we learn about the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago, the sillier — and more sinister — the overcaffeinated Republican defenses of former president Donald Trump look. This new information turns the Trump narrative — that he is being treated worse than anyone ever in all of U.S. history — on its head. Imagine what would have happened to a lower-level government employee who was suspected of taking highly classified documents without authorization. I very much doubt that the FBI would have dealt with such a person as gently as they dealt with Trump. Anyone else caught with top-secret documents — and suspected of obstructing justice and violating the Espionage Act — would probably be in federal custody by now. Reality Winner, a former National Security Agency contractor, was sentenced to more than five years in prison for leaking documents relating to Russian interference in the 2016 election a whole lot less sensitive than the ones Trump is suspected of taking. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/12/trump-search-gop-hyperbolic-reaction-collapsing/

I simply can’t believe that this many people would bend over backward to justify the unjustifiable actions of an un-American, sociopathic grifter. It’s embarrassing as a country.
