Good for Marjorie. Sometimes I think she and Boebert are the only ones in Congress with (figurative) cajones.

I give her credit, but I don't think the impeachment charges will go too far.

With a DEM House and Senate majority, at this point, I don't think that there is much that can be done.

Pray for a miracle!

They are now legitimately mad that Trump's lawyers released the search warrant without any of the agents names redacted from it....

....Including agents which are also curiously involved with the January 6th incident....

It is becoming increasingly clear that this action has been driven solely by the Jan 6 committee and not the National Archives or any ongoing Justice Dept. investigation.  And that makes it infinitely worse.

Lizzy said she was going to do everything she could to ensure that Trump paid for J6 and I have little doubt that she's already popped the cork on the champagne bottle.

I'm considering moving to Dallas, GA just so I can be in MTG's district.

You don't think the press would cover this..I sure do..everyone wants to hear what he has to say...

Or .... we can let the FBI/DOJ twist on the defensive until someone cracks.  Why pull attention away from the evil doers?

Tell me without telling me the Trump raid was a fishing expedition.

Ok, Marjorie Greene is taking some action, what in the heck is the rest of the GOP doing??  Their silence is beyond deafening.

Their silence is disgusting.  I don’t care how much of a never-trumper someone is, what the government is doing to Trump should be intolerable to anyone who believes in the impartial enforcement of the law.

ALL the GOP Senators and House Reps need to come forward for once and make some noise and take whatever action they can.  Don't they realize that they could easily be the next target.

....Except not a whole lot of people have any confidence in you Chuckles.

Vice President Kamala Harris says that she has "full confidence" in DOJ after warrant release

Vice President Kamala Harris said on Friday that she has "full confidence" in the Department of Justice after the search warrant that was used during the FBI raid of former President Trump's Florida residence was unsealed.

"Well, as a former prosecutor, I will tell you, I don't speak about anybody else's case, but I have full confidence that the Department of Justice will do with the facts and the law requires," Harris said in response to a reporter's question.

She also called attacks on law enforcement "unacceptable.".........

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Item (c) is a National Archives reference.  But none of the three statutes listed have anything to do with National Archive statutes.  This is a BS warrant.

Trump could have avoided the raid and any attention from law enforcement if he just left the documents at a computer repair shop

According to the Espionage Act, it is also illegal to LEAK documents. And somebody at the FBI or DOJ has been leaking to the press. So when can we expect the pre-dawn, guns-drawn raids to commence?

I disagree....He should call a presser and let them have hell....the DOJ and FBI will NEVER tell the truth..they have been preparing this for 18mos.....100 days before an election....
With CNN's ratings in the toilet, they would be sleeping in tents waiting for Trump to say something. It's the only way they get views.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

This is amazing...HOWEVER...what is the context of his words at the time?

For example, were they having a round-table discussion on "How to topple a government, for Dummies"?

Or, were they at a meeting attended by staunch Racists who hate everything the U.S.A. stands for, for centuries-old slights...in a different world?

Were they asking him what HE WOULD DO if he were leading such an effort??

I don't think it matters @DCPatriot  ---- not when you recognize this is the very blueprint he's been following in his crusade to get Trump.

Meh....this crap started with the 1st Stimulus Bill and Obamacare, for "shovel-ready" jobs, and making Trayvon Martin his 'son'.

But looking thru a wider lens, this is the "Fundamental Transformation of the United States of America" in action.  This is Obama's 3rd term.

And now 87K armed IRS agents gives him his "private army as well equipped as the US military."
