    The thing is the SC Justices don't have to answer to anyone once on the supreme bench. Forget about self-policing, it'll never happen.

    Many voters who care and follow politics want justice.

    Many voters who care and follow politics want the NPD Trump mess to quietly fade away. Which matches what many glass house politicians want.

    I've already read & heard "healing" used by several politicians - mostly Republicans, what a surprise :rolleyes: - when discussing NPD Trump.

    Ford threw away a long career when he pardoned Nixon. Many efforts have been made to show him as a dedicated statesman who made the tough decision to do what needed to be done. I see him as a dedicated statesman who made the extremely incorrect decision to make a deal with the devil.

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/08/politics/mar-a-lago-search-warrant-fbi- donald-trump/index.html

    Trump responds:

    "These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege..."

    This would not happen without direct approval from AG Garland and it has been well established that Garland is a cautious and deliberative kind of guy and not one to take reckless action without cause.

    The FBI are searching Mar-A-Lago and the last guy is having a hissy fit.
    The FBI doesn't go busting in places without some heavy guns behind it (at least not anymore).
    This has to be from the top at the DOJ.

    Edit;
    Looks like a bunch of us were posting this at the same time.

    Let us hope that NPD Trump is stupid enough to keep incriminating records at Mar-a-Lago.

    One of his ghostwriters thinks he was going to sell it off as memorabilia. :rolleyes:
    An author who ghostwrote one of Trump's books speculates Trump may've taken White House documents to one day sell as presidential memorabilia

    But his also STUPID son (who takes the 5th 100s of times) seemed to confirm that T himself signoff or ordered everything at the DOJ
    Eric Trump's Accidental Confession About His Father Has Twitter Users Howling

    Well, that would make it easier to say T was in the know or gave orders for any potential crime.
    Much less interfering with the DOJ. :mad:

    We're damned lucky this all was done by incompetent idiots...leaving clues all over and screwing themselves.
    If it had been by someone smooth & smart like Dick Cheney again, then we'd never figure it out.
    Then again even he and his cronies would never think to try a rage riot at the capital. (they DID overturn an election...and succeeded, but it was much closer - GWB v Gore)

    That why Liz is helping...it's not because they mind the ethics to the GOPs benefit...they just don't want Big Orange in charge of it all.
    They think he's breaking the party.

    The NPD Trump supporters (and others) accusing Biden of manipulating the DOJ & the FBI definitely operate under double standards. And have selective memory.

    Trump's allies are alarmed and starting to 'go dark' amid Mar-a-Lago search warrant revelations, reporter says

    I hope they scramble off like rats from a sinking ship.
    T stands for Titanic

    I don't care how they do it...just go.

    And boy, a fire is now lit under the FBI, especially since the agency say how the many GOP'rs reacted with distrust and disloyalty, threatening them.
    ...they're going to sniff out and zap a lot of people.
    Like a bug zapper.

    All I can say to the DOJ, do your job, do it well.
    * but it took ya long enough.

    I've read that NPD Trump doesn't throw his own money* around freely. As I've previously posted, several sources have reported his liquid assets, excluding yo-yo real estate evaluations, at 180M to 220M. Those figures are subject to change because NPD Trump manipulates his real estate holdings to go back and forth between being desperately in debt to being flush with cash, mostly on paper.

    Is he clever at avoiding paying his attorneys (and others)? Apparantly.

    Is he being clever by not paying top attorneys experienced in federal civil & criminal cases clever? No.

    Hopefully NPD Trump will be done in by his narcissism and stingyness.


    * His record of being reckless with money not his is clear.

    Donald Trump sues justice department over Mar-a-Lago search

    Yeah, good luck with that...NOT :rolleyes:
    Because T's lawsuit "never" fail... sure, actually they almost always fail...if they work, it's only for delay...once they DO make a full ruling, he loses.
    Lost all over the fuckin US with all his election suits.
    Losing all over now.

    Not a great win rate for a "winner". :confused::oops:

    Interesting that it's his daughter speaking out, NOT THE CONVICTED MAN. The man who threatened his own family with getting shot if they spoke with LEOs.

    Big question: Will they be able to actually nail NPD Trump?

    He's never been one to shoulder blame.

    Justice Department’s Scathing Response: Trump Brought This Upon Himself

    Scathing - yeah, that's a pretty blunt and harsh description in TFA. Everything he's done himself and his inept lawyers.

    His goose is cooked.
    Really, the only question is how his supporters will respond.

    Unfortunately "scathing reports" alone won't get NPD Trump convicted.

    He could wipe his ass for years using scathing reports.

    Hopefully :) in prison.

    NPD Trump and other assmouths are claiming the FBI "staged" the classified files for the photo they included in their filing in response to the Special Master request. Trump says the FBI falsely made it appear as though the files were tossed around haphazardly.

    So Trump knew about the files,
    and how the files were kept?

    Another thing...
    Anybody with at least a partially functioning brain can see those files were very carefully arranged to show the importance of the files. There is nothing haphazard about the photo.

    Michael Cohen has some advice for Trump's legal team — CNN Politics

    Lying with impunity, is an understatement.

    He’s accurate when he says T lies like others breathe.

    I think the only thing T hasn’t done is order people killed…individuals. (not war or bombing, assassination)

    IMHO, we’re lucky he didn’t use nukes or got us into a scene where nukes were used.

    Everything else is negotiable and repairable.

    But he’s right, all lawyers and allies need to lawyer up. Period, it’s not if, it’s when.

    BTW, all you allies, sycophants and supporters…
    This brings into question your own judgment making skills.
    It was all there…obvious and apparent.

    Face eating leopards and all that.
    Shock!? :rolleyes:
