TGP passes the story on, with a link to CBSNews’ Steve Portnoy. Notably, Portnoy points out that Judge Cannon takes at least two swipes at the government and makes some additional important statements. First, she questions the FBI’s reliability—offering two examples to support her skepticism. And Second, she strongly suggests that DoJ’s arguments against Trump’s executive privilege “overstate[] the law.” A Third important point: Cannon blocks any further investigation until the special master reports. Finally, Cannon reveals, among other things, that the FBI Raiders seized Trump’s medical records. Medical records? Passports? This is further confirmation of SWC’s view, shared by many, that 1) the warrant itself was overbroad and that 2) the search
A little bit off topic, but we're seeing a massive - very obvious - push in advertising far left candidates in our state (Kansas). It's clear these candidates have deep, deep funding via dark money given the blanket messaging over the 'main' TV stations here, signage in yards, intersections and door-hangars. The Left is mobilizing in a very big way here, and I'm sure it is also happening in other states.
Meanwhile, was there even a whisper of 'impeachment' by the GOP over the MAL raid or Zhous open declaration of war on Trump and his supporters? Not really...
At the risk of offending some of you, I would propose that Trump is 16 moves ahead of his opposition, and is leading them deeper into disaster. President or not in the future, he has a score to settle and a job he intends finishing. Not content with, as Napoleon advised, sitting back and letting them destroy themselves, he and maybe some Judas goats are encouraging them to do the outlandish. This raid and the Biden speech may impress some hardcore supporters, but they are hard to justify to the masses, especially with inflation, crime, shortages and the likelihood of a worldwide economic crash imminent. So much of what they have done is illegal, and they are covering it up with more illegalities. It is high time that those in government who have enabled this regime to take power, thinking it the lesser of two evils, start rethinking and maybe understand where this is leading.
Was this merely a step in laying the groundwork for a new October surprise by the Dems? They can't have believed for a nanosecond that Trump would meekly and silently acquiesce to the FBI's invasion of his home in clear violation of his Fourth Amendment rights under an overbroad affidavit, overbroad warrant and overbroad seizure (boxes that contained a single sheet of alleged "classified" information under the conditions set forth in the warrant caused the entire box to be confiscated). No wonder Garland took months to decide and why he always looks so nervous!
The DOJ also can't have believed that, when Trump publicly expressed his well-founded outrage, that his supporters (as well as an unknown number of non-supporters) would be similarly outraged and fearful that they too could be subjected to similar mining of their heretofore "personal" private affairs. Trump was never more right when he said that we are their real target, he's only standing in their way.
Now, I've come to believe that the FBI has already activated teams of provocateurs to tempt the short-sighted and weak-minded on our side into participating in some sort of armed response to their calumny. ("Blood in the streets if Trump is indicted" read a recent headline.) These FBI plots have likely already begun and make the "Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping" look like a pre-school game of tag. This is the predicate for seizure of all guns in civilian hands and possibly martial law in October. Expect another even more sophisticated attempt to steal your vote in November. Nancy Pelosi doesn't look terribly worried about losing her Speakership, does she?
No matter how low we imagine this seditious, illegitimate "government" CAN go, it still surprises us with how much lower it WILL go.
Spin, à la Politico: “Judge Orders Halt to DoJ Review,” when in fact the DoJ loudly announced it had itself already terminated its review of DJT docs! No, the judge granted Trump’s request to appoint a Special Master; she did not “halt” anything…you say tomato, etc…
Ok, my question is how can we know that the FBI did not “salt” the seized documents?
They have already completed their inspection, so we just take them at their word as to what was there? Like the empty folders that they “found”? Nope I am fully convinced that they found their man, now they are looking for the crime. After all, what’s a little manufactured evidence among the folks at the DOJ and the FBI.
...As I stated earlier, the Justice Department dramatically over-played its hand by claiming that the appointment would threaten national security or that there was no legal basis for such an appointment...
...Those were the same claims used to oppose any release of any information in the redacted affidavit -- only to be forced to release such a document without compromising national security.
When dealing with lawfare, you have to be thorough, or you will be attacked due to not being thorough.
And with delay by Trump on filing, the doj / fbi had already gone through everything.
By Trump delaying his filing, he may have given the doj more rope to hang themselves in the public’s view / media spotlight / news cycle. Which Trump is fighting in. He is dripping information on the raid, so it’s fresh content for the news cycle. The latest is the fbi searching his sons room and leaving it a mess.
Now medical, tax, and accounting records?
It feels like whenever authorized this did not expect a response from Trump, snd thought it would be Russiagate / Mueller again, where Trump did not respond much for fear of being charged with obstruction of Justice.

Seems Biden / WH lied about their involvement
I’m sure everyone is shocked they would lie.
