    What do you know about the judge's connections, other than that he was appointed by Trump?

    He was appointed while Trump was president, but not by President
    Trump. Federal magistrate judges aren't appointed by the president.

    https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-trump-appoint-judge- who-approved-fbi-ma
    -lago-raid-1732495

    You are right. I saw that he was a federal judge who took office in
    2018 and thought that meant he was appointed by Trump. I was wrong. As
    a magistrate judge, he was appointed by the federal district judges.

    With that system you get judges who know the law and apply it fairly.
    If judges are subject to popular vote, they have to spend much time campaigning instead of judging -- plus they get voted on by people who have little understanding of the law.

    You are on to something there, Dale. It relates to one of the cornerstones of a true democracy: separation of powers.

    The writers of the USC didn't like democracy, they said it in various articles written by then, and the part of the USC that defines the three branches of power, Articles I, II and III is clear evidence of that.

    In a true democracy you cannot have one branch being the only one to nominate and another branch make the decision for the third branch. Each branch must be totally separated and independent.

    So of course the judicial branch should handle everything by themselves, nominations and all the way to acceptance.

    It would not be the first time that a
    President's relatives were a "skeleton in the closet".

    LOL! You mean like being paid $2T from the Saudis for "services rendered"? I wonder what the recovered documents have to say about that. Could that cause panic in the family? 8-)

    It did also note that some documents were on the list that were not classified and/or may be covered by lawyer/client priveledge. If that is the case, they should know better. The search warrant only covered classified documents and not personal, unclassified ones.

    Why do you guys keep on perpetuating the lies from the ultra-right Trumpsters?

    Read my lips: There is nothing in the three laws upon which the search warrent was based, that limits them to classified documents! Every single document, classified or not, illegally taken from NARA protected facilities is a violation of law, AKA illegal. Very much so, in one case it results in up to ten years of prison PER DOCUMENT!

    I suggest you fact check things before you just parrot the fascists' attempts to make excuses for the dumbest former POTUS ever.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    It did also note that some documents were on the list that were not
    classified and/or may be covered by lawyer/client priveledge. If
    that is
    the case, they should know better. The search warrant only covered
    classified documents and not personal, unclassified ones.

    Why do you guys keep on perpetuating the lies from the ultra-right Trumpsters?

    Two answers:

    Answer #1: Because

    Answer #2: Why not?

    Read my lips: There is nothing in the three laws upon which the search warrent was based, that limits them to classified documents!

    All that was needed was probable cause to make it a legal and lawful
    search.

    Every single document, classified or not, illegally taken from NARA protected facilities is a violation of law, AKA illegal. Very much so, in one case it results in up to ten years of prison PER DOCUMENT!

    You're right. And you know what? President Joe Biden should grant
    Donald J. Trump an unconditional and full presidential pardon, for
    all crimes committed. And then walk away, allowing Donald J. Trump
    to continue shooting his mouth off et al ad nauseum.

    With the DOJ having just released part of the affidavit, it makes even
    more sense to do what I just mentioned.

    I suggest you fact check things before you just parrot the fascists' attempts to make excuses for the dumbest former POTUS ever.

    We did have a POTUS who caught the flu as a result of being sworn
    in outdoors and died a short time afterwards ...

    Trump is viewed as the easiest candidate Biden could beat.
    Granting him a an unconditional and full presidential pardon
    would doom his chances of getting the Republican nomination.

    And while you are at it, tell me about all the
    charges against Hunter Biden. Oh, that's right. Can't find any having
    been filed against him, either. No surprise there. But keep trying.

    LOL! This hoax is so stupid, I can't understand how any person capable of setting up a Fidonet access account are not able to see through it.

    A. A filthy rich person like Hunter B. has a water damaged MacBook Pro.

    B. He does not know, that trying to repair any Apple product usually costs more than buying a new one (because he cant afford it?).

    C. He decides to leave it, with lots of sensitive information on it(?), to a non-Apple approved workshop, far away from his home, for "repair".

    D. Despite several (allegedly) reminders from the workshop owner, he never tries to pick it up.

    E. This workshop owner, identified as John Paul Mac Isaac, keeps the laptop for three years, and in the meantime he, as well as any other Russian friend from the MAGA cult, has total access to it.

    F. "Holy Cow! Look what we found in it. Better alert the FBI." Ahem, well, let's alert Giuliani first, and let that totally unbiased person decide what to do with all this sensitive information.

    How stupid can you be for believing all of the above? The FBI sure as hell was not, they laughed it off. But people as stupid as Trump and all of those below his stupidity, still to this day keep harping this folly.

    No wonder the Cult 45 went ballistic when Biden tried to restore the educational system in the USA. "We can't have affordable education here, the uneducated are our voter base!"

    Although I am capable of setting up a Fidonet access account, doing so
    would blow my cover as a MAGA idiot in a far right fringe group known
    as Convention of States (COS) that meets on a monthly basis at my local library. And believe me when I tell you, these MAGA idiots will believe anything, and everything. Especially if their orange god says it.

    Some levels of stupidity cannot be measured.

    So did James Comey. But he's not running the show any more.

    But people as stupid as Trump and all of those below his stupidity, still to
    this day keep harping this folly.

    I am waiting for the next level. After the mid-term elections,
    President Biden will announce he is not running for a second term.
    Then all the MAGA idiots will celebrate, as if they had all gotten
    their Christmas presents early.

    And then, on Christmas morning, Barack Obama will wish all Americans
    a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as he announces his candidacy for
    a new first term as POTUS.

    No wonder the Cult 45 went ballistic when Biden tried to restore the educational system in the USA. "We can't have affordable education here, the uneducated are our voter base!"

    You are starting to learn, my Swedish friend.
    Barack Obama was 44.
    Donald Trump was 45.
    Joe Biden is 46.
    Barack Obama (the once and future king) will be 47.

    Not bad for a 60-year-old guy who easily won two consecutive terms.

    What was border security like in the 1880s when your family arrived in the US? Were the borders more, or less, open than they are now? How did that affect our national sovereignty? What was the driving force behind the change in border policy? Answer those questions correctly and I think you'll have a much more accurate understanding of "America First."

    Considering that most immigrants were coming across the Atlantic by boat...
    the boats would arrive and the immigrants would be processed through
    processing stations like Ellis Island, where the ship master would present paperwork that was supposed to account for each immigrating person aboard
    his ship. They were not all automatically accepted or "set loose" in NYC.
    Some where quaranteened for observation, others were turned away outright. Having a job already lined up, or relatives already in the country, was a
    plus.

    If someone crosses the southern border now, at a legal crossing point, they
    go through at least some of the same treatment. But not all of them cross
    at legal crossings, and not all of those that don't get caught. Apparently many of the legal ones do not have sponsors or jobs lined up. Otherwise,
    the government would have turned them over to said sponsors before the
    local governors got a chance to ask them if they want to travel to NYC, Chicago, DC, or another proclaimed "sanctuary city" and put them on a bus.

    Illegal immigration is a problem and does neet to be dealt with, but the solution to that problem should not be taken out on legal refugees.

    Similarly, illegal immigrants should not be lumped in with legal refugees
    as "refugees." You make a distiction here. Others often do not.

    Was a visa required? Did arrival need to be pre-arranged in any way? Were people turned away by default unless they had reason to be here, or were they allowed in by default unless there was reason to believe that they should not be here?

    If someone crosses the southern border now, at a legal crossing point, they go through at least some of the same treatment.

    It's actually more stringent now.

    But not all of
    them cross at legal crossings, and not all of those that don't get

    True. But the refugees who cross seeking asylum generally turn themselves in
    at the first opportunity. Their situation makes them seek out the authorities rather than avoid them. They are doing things the legal way.

    A big part of the anti-refugee propaganda is making them out to be illegal immigrants, which they are not.

    Apparently many of the legal ones do not have sponsors or jobs
    lined up.

    There are organizations that will sponsor them.

    want to travel to NYC, Chicago, DC, or another proclaimed "sanctuary
    city" and put them on a bus.

    Organizations that will sponsor them are usually located in larger cities.

    I like how you threw "sanctuary city" in there. "Sanctuary cities" are distinguished by their treatment of illegal immigrants, not refugees. You've been brainwashed into thinking that refugees are illegal immigrants, when
    they are not.

    For me it is the ease of being able to yell "asylum!" and suddenly be considered legal or potentially legal. If they really wanted asylum, they should have crossed at a legal checkpoint. If they are not, they are
    hoping not to encounter someone, although I am certain they know to act as

    My main problem with George Soros is that he's funding campaigns for district attorneys who refuse to prosecute. That bothers me. I also don't like how he's
    invested in 18 hispanic radio stations in an attempt to subjugate some of the 1.8 million+ illegal immigrants who have entered the country since Joe took office.

    It has been reported that the one DA that got recalled in SF was a
    recepient of his money, and apparently said DA was even underperforming
    below typical left-leaning standards.

    What business is Soros in? Maybe he is in radio and wants more stations?

    It seems odd that he would only target hispanic stations, though.

    What brings you together, then?

    For the American people we want peace, safety, equality, and sovereignty. But I can only assume that other conservatives would agree with that statement.

    Those are a good start.

    When you say "Preserve the traditional power structure," that sounds good to me. What is meant by that? Why does it seem racist to you? To me it sounds like "we're gonna remain a Democratic nation with a free market." But to you it means something different. What does it mean to you?

    That is also how I would take it, but I am not hoping to change said
    structure into something more socialist. If I were, I am sure I would find bad-sounding reasons for why it needs to be changed.

    It is also not perfect, and there are some changes that even conservatives
    seem to call for, like term limits.

    What business is Soros in? Maybe he is in radio and wants more stations
    That's a good question. I can't say for sure, but I think it's the "ruling of the world" industry.

    He is a hedge-funder. In 1992, his short sale of US$10 Billion of pounds sterling caused the Black Wednesday UK currency crisis, which is where
    the nickname "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" comes from. (The Telegraph, September, 2002). Black Wednesday is estimated to have cost the
    UK Treasury 3.4 Billion pounds. He is also believed to have traded billions
    of Finnish markkas (unit of money) in 1996 in anticipation of selling them short, in an attempt to make money off of a 1990's Finnish economic
    depression. The Finnish government and bank have stated that they do not believe that such a feat is possible, but have apparently never confirmed publically if it happened or not. (Helsingin Sanomat, February, 1996).

    In June, 2006, Soros was convicted by the French Supreme Court for insider trading involving some knowledge he had that a group of shareholders was planning a takeover of a leading French Bank and, with that knowledge,
    moved forward with accumulating shares in that bank and three other French companies. Soros appealed to the European Court of Human Rights and the conviction was upheld on the grounds that Soros had been aware of the
    risk of breaking insider trading laws (Bloomberg LP, October, 2011).

    Soros also formulated the General Theory of Reflexivity for capital markets which gives a picture of value discrepancies that can be used to, among
    other things, short stocks (Open Society Foundation, October, 2010).

    In 1999, economist Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize winner in Economic Science,
    was critical of George's effect on financial markets, coining the term
    "Soroi" as a proposed name for persons who "not only move money in
    anticipation of a currency crisis, but actually do their best to trigger
    that crisis for fun and profit."

    Soros also sometimes gets credit for influencing the collapse of communism
    in Eastern Europe, per an article in the July 1993 edition of The Atlantic.

    Interesting that he "doesn't have that much power" to influence things, per readers here but, in 1993, The Atlantic (which is not known for being a conservative publication) thought otherwise. If true, it improves his
    stock some in my eyes since I think so little of communism, although it also proves that he can influence to the point of causing governments to fall.

    While in college in London in the 1940's, George often lectured on the the virtures of globalism (Belfast Telegraph, February, 2018). Since 2012,
    Soros has been labelled an "enemy of the state" in his home country of
    Hungary.

    Because he supports progressive and liberal causes through his Open Society Foundation, he gets a pass from most self-proclaimed progressives,
    globalist, and other leftists when it comes to being a hedge-funder, *convicted* insider trader, and stock-shorter.

    James Kirchick, a Jewish American conservative reporter, has alleged that
    some progressives view all criticism of Soros as antisemitic and that such claims are often made "entirely in bad faith," when, for example, they
    claim that stating the observable fact that Soros has backed several US DAs
    is an attack on Soros for being Jewish and not for his political views
    (Tablet, August, 2022). We will circle back to this in a minute.

    It seems odd that he would only target hispanic stations, though.
    Are you sure that "odd" is the word for it? I call it highly suspicious timi

    His funds, in past, have invested in political campaigns, causes, and objectives, but they have also invested in such benign things as a hotel
    chain in Argentina.

    It has been reported that the one DA that got recalled in SF was a recepient of his money, and apparently said DA was even underperforming below typical left-leaning standards.
    It's also highly suspicious why we've got an unprecedented number of DAs behaving like this.

    In 2004, Soros became involved in investing in US politics. He donated
    over $23 million to tax exempt groups that were aiming to defeat the re-election campaign of George W. Bush. After that unsuccessful
    investment, he began investing in a fundraising group called the Democracy Alliance, which supports progressive causes and the formation of a stronger progressive infrastructure (The Washington Post, October, 2006).

    In 2012, he donated $1 million to the super PAC backing the re-election of Obama (New York Times, May, 2013). In 2013, he became the co-chairman of a super PAC national finance committee - Ready for Hillary (Politico,
    November, 2013). In 2015, he donated $1 million to the Super PAC supporting HRC's 2016 presidential campaign. By August, 2016, he had donated an additional $8.5 million (OpenSecrets, October, 2020). For the 2020
    election cycle, he launched a Super PAC, called Democracy PAC, and donated
    $5.1 million to it (Politico, June, 2020).

    During 2020, Soros gave at least $500,000 to the Biden campaign, becoming
    one of their largest donors (New York Times, July, 2020).

    Since 2016, Soros has been donating unprecidented sums in excess of $1 million to the campaigns of progressive DA candidates, through the Safety and
    Justice PAC (Politico, May, 2020; LA Times, June, 2020). He has donated in excess of $1 million each to campaigns in Philadelphia (Krasner, 2017 --
    Wall Street Journal, June 2020), Los Angeles (Gascon, 2020 -- LA Times, November 2020), and Chicago (Foxx, 2020 -- Chicago Sun-Times, February,
    2020) -- all successful.

    There's no reason for Biden not to run. He's been good to the leftists.

    The only thing that might stop him is if he accidentally destroys too much USA before the 2024 election; if there's no USA left to destroy in 2024, he would actually have no reason to run for re-election because his mission will have already been accomplished early.

    fomenting an armed sedition,
    efforts to send false electors to Congress, and

    We learned all about that in US History classes. I don't think you have a firm grasp on how things become law in the United States, or how court rulings work.
    Yes, I understand.

    You still do not seem to.

    It does not matter how long ago the original ruling was decided, it is never, ever on solid ground until it is passed into LAW by Congress, and then until it passes the test of being Constitutional (something that would happen in the courts).
    Laws were not written because they were not needed.

    But they were needed. Otherwise, it would still be legal.

    The Democrats knew this could happen... they bring up how abortion could be overturned if they are not elected during EVERY election cycle. They never do anything when they can because then they could not keep using that threat to abortion rights during their campaigns.
    I suppose it wouldn't hurt to codify these laws if some believe women don't ha
    privacy/abortion/human/health care rights.

    The problem is that privacy is covered. Abortion is not specificially
    covered. It is difficult to call it personl privacy because it (usually)
    takes two people to cause a pregnancy, and both of those people have rights.

    Nope, I was not talking about the errosion of democracy or freedom. That was a
    pin you put into my words.

    I think the right in the US is a danger to democracy to be clear, but that is t what I am talking about here.

    From earlier in THIS VERY THREAD:

    | Conservatives are unified alright.
    |
    | No more democracy.
    +-[AI=>AT]

    AI is you. That little arrow means you said it to AT (Aaron). That text
    was still in the first message I responded to. So, tell me again that you are/were not discussing the errosion of democracy.

    No, it actually isn't. I looked it up. The problem comes from how the bill
    was originally written. It was written to remove all penalties for the outcome of a pregnacy, i.e. one that was terminated or where a baby is
    stillborn. However, as originally written, the language also removed all civ
    and criminal penalty and liability for "perinatal" death. "Perinatal" is defined as the period around childbirth -- 5 months before and 1 month after
    No, that is not what the pro-choice side wants or is doing.

    But the law was written that way originally, until others pointed it out.
    I don't really think they MEANT to write it that way, but
    they obviously didn't read it too well or didn't understand the language
    they used in their own bill.

    That last bit is the important part. They meant to absolve anyone whose child dies of natural causes within the preinatal period. Because the language was vague, and did not specifically state what they meant by "perinatal" period, it left the door open for a court to interpret the law as including children that died from other non-natural causes during the first month after birth.
    Pregnacy and the natural death of a fetus are natural things. There is no need
    o write laws about it.

    They are not only covering natural death. See the word "terminated" in the previous paragraph.

    Once the "California wants to make post-birth abortion legal" news started spreading, the legal team for the legislator who introduced the bill introduced amendments to close those potential loopholes/legal misinterpretations.
    I don't think Californians, democrats or anyone else wants "post-birth abortio
    to be legal.

    I don't actually know where that comes from or what it actually means.

    Then they wrote it wrong. It got fixed but only after people saw it, but
    to point out that it was written that way is not propaganda because it is
    true. Otherwise, why did they feel the need to amend it to fix it?

    It "comes from" the original text of the law being too vague.

    Not at all, but being court precedent does not mean that the court cannot overturn it later. Making it LAW would have solved that issue, so long as the LAW was written in a manner that would allow it to stand up to the test of being Constitutional.
    I guess so, since that is what has now happened.

    I know so, and so did Democrats long before it happened.

    What I am saying is that if Roe v Wade is settled law (precedent) as many have
    aid then there isn't really a reason for law makers to codify any law.

    To stop it from being overturned. You seemed to understand that in your statement previous to this one but I guess not.

    Could be, but it will have to stand the test of being Constitutional. If the Democrats had not wasted several opportunites to make it LAW, the Republican task of creating a ban would be much more difficult.
    The democrats have not wasted anything. What is happening now is a waste.

    They most certainly did. I don't want it to be made illegal nationwide,
    either but if it happens the Democrats played a part in it by not doing
    their stated jobs ("elect us and we will do something to protect it!").

    That's the latest I got from Fox News.

    I think you mean Venezuelan. There is some evidence that the Venezuelan government may have taken a page out of the Fidel Castro playbook and
    allowed convicts to begin the treck north to the US.

    Interesting thing... a majority of the persons arriving at the southern
    border (that crossed at legal points or were caught) are no longer coming
    from the areas considered as part of the Triangle, like Honduras, but instead are coming from countries with failed/failing leftist governments like Venezuela and Cuba.

    It was not really all that long ago that Venezuela was often listed as an example of a utopian society by American elites. It was long enough ago
    that the post "utopia period" has now been longer than the utopia existed, though.

    I said that earlier in the thread but that was not what I was talking about.

    AI is you. That little arrow means you said it to AT (Aaron). That text
    was still in the first message I responded to. So, tell me again that you are/were not discussing the errosion of democracy.

    OK then, I'll tell you again. I said that earlier in the thread but I am not talking about that now.

    If you want to talk about something I said ealier then bring it up and we'll talk about it. In any case that is not what I was talking about.

    No, that is not what the pro-choice side wants or is doing.

    But the law was written that way originally, until others pointed it out.
    I don't really think they MEANT to write it that way, but
    they obviously didn't read it too well or didn't understand the language
    they used in their own bill.

    That a great talking point that you and other bring up from time to time but it is not what the pro-choice side wants or is doing.

    They are not only covering natural death. See the word "terminated" in the previous paragraph.

    You want to bring something into it but I am not going. Feel free to discuss that with others.

    What I am saying is that if Roe v Wade is settled law (precedent) as many
    have said then there isn't really a reason for law makers to codify any law.

    To stop it from being overturned. You seemed to understand that in your statement previous to this one but I guess not.

    I understand that Roe v Wade is/was considered settled law (before the extreme SCOTUS overturned it) and that is why laws were not needed.

    They most certainly did. I don't want it to be made illegal nationwide, either but if it happens the Democrats played a part in it by not doing
    their stated jobs ("elect us and we will do something to protect it!").

    If it happens it's because the republican party wants it and pushes it through not because of anything the democrats did. The democrats don't want or work for it.

    Hello Aaron,

    You right. Everybody will be voting for Kamala.

    There's no reason for Biden not to run. He's been good to the leftists.

    Biden has been good to everybody. Except MAGA Republicans, who nobody
    likes anyway.

    The only thing that might stop him is if he accidentally destroys too much USA before the 2024 election;

    Everything the Biden adminstration has done has been good for the
    USA, and will continue for as long as he remains POTUS. As such, he
    must be doing something right.

    if there's no USA left to destroy in 2024, he would actually have no reason
    to run for re-election because his mission will have already been accomplished early.

    Unlike his predecessor, Biden will not make a deal with Putin.
    Or with that other tinhorn dictator known as "Rocket Man". So rest
    assured, we are in good hands with All_Biden.

    For Life,
    Lee

    No, Roe was overturned by an extreme SCOTUS.

    That's not praise of Trump; it's realization that Trump is an extreme threat not only to Democrats, but to the entire media.

    Why is Trump such a threat to all of them? Nothing bad happened to the
    American people while he was president (unlike Biden.) I'm confident it's all about the money. Everyone loves it, and Democrats can't get enough of it.

    The news media reported those actions, as that was their job.
    Should the news media have ignored what Trump did? Let it slide?
    Nothing Trump did in 2020 (and especially on January 6, 2021)
    was justified. Even what he did before 2020 was not justified.

    The media didn't hover over Trump because they "knew somehow that he would do something bad" or because "he led a coup attempt." Their decision to attack him mercilessly came way before any of that. Before any "lies" too.

    Trump is a public figure, and has been for decades. The news media
    has reported his antics, long before he even contemplated running for president. But you say he should have been given a pass from the get
    go. Let Trump do whatever he wants, never questioning a thing. Or

    Then you do not understand what is involved. Some of the documents that
    he had contained very sensitive information and were just laying around
    in a manner such that multiple people, including foreign spys, could
    easily get to them. Some of those documents could have gotten
    intelligence assets of the USA killed. They were assets who were

    and methods that would tell a foreign government where and how we were obtaining valuable intelligence information about that foreign
    government. Once that foreign government knew that, they could close
    the door on our access and thus deny the USA from obtaining that
    information -- and thus harm the national security of the USA.

    If that does not seem like a big deal to you, then you are either

    What about Hillary's private email server while she was Secretary of State?

    Surely the information contained in those emails could have been used against the USA. I guess that since they were not used to harm the country, then there's no desire to prosecute Hillary. So why Trump? The horrible accent?

    president. But you say he should have been given a pass from the get
    go. Let Trump do whatever he wants, never questioning a thing. Or

    I still don't know what he did wrong.

    You have got to be kidding me. Either that, or admitting you are
    the stupidest person on earth.

    Document theft doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

    Among those documents are classified government documents, some
    of them labeled "top secret" - none of them having been declassified
    by Trump when he was president (or by President Biden).

    What makes it a big deal is those documents were at Mar-a-Lago
    when nobody else was there. And anybody could have read them, or
    made copies of them. Including our enemies.

    That is what happens when someone who does not have the maturity
    of a small child to keep important documents safely away from the
    prying eyes of those who would do us harm.

    We let Hillary get away with mishandling documents, so I think
    Trump should get away with it too, especially since he was so good to us while president.

    This was not a case of a government person using a personal cell
    phone to send and receive e-mails. James Comey said it was a mistake,
    and so did Hillary Clinton. And as far as anybody knows, Vladimir
    Putin never did read any of those juicy e-mails. So no harm, no
    foul.

    Vladimir Putin's perfect pet.

    What did Trump do for Putin?

    Everything he could.

    Putin was waiting for Trump to leave office so he could invade Ukraine more
    easily.

    Putin ordered his invasion (and illegal annexation) of Crimea
    in 2014. Trump was elected in 2016, and did nothing to discourage
    Putin from withdrawing Russian troops. Trump also attempted to
    weaken NATO by threatening to withdraw the US, leaving all of
    Europe at Putin's mercy.

    The troop build-up came after the Biden regime invaded the USA.

    Russian troops invaded Ukraine in 2014. two years before Trump
    was elected. That was just the beginning of the conflict.

    What makes it a big deal is those documents were at Mar-a-Lago
    when nobody else was there. And anybody could have read them, or
    made copies of them. Including our enemies.

    "Could have" but didn't. Mar-a-Lago isn't a public resort. Why do you think Trump was hoarding those documents in the first place? They probably contain damning evidence against top leftist reptilian Democrat officials.

    We don't know what those documents are all about, but rage is what the media wants us to feel. Are you feeling that rage that the media wants you to feel?

    This was not a case of a government person using a personal cell
    phone to send and receive e-mails. James Comey said it was a mistake,

    As far as anybody knows, Putin never visited Mar-a-Lago to read Trump's stolen documents either.

    Then you do not understand what is involved. Some of the documents that he had contained very sensitive information and were just laying around
    in a manner such that multiple people, including foreign spys, could easily get to them. Some of those documents could have gotten intelligence assets of the USA killed. They were assets who were
    risking their life to provide the USA with valuable information that
    helps to keep America safe. Other documents would have revealed sources and methods that would tell a foreign government where and how we were obtaining valuable intelligence information about that foreign
    government. Once that foreign government knew that, they could close
    the door on our access and thus deny the USA from obtaining that information -- and thus harm the national security of the USA.

    What about Hillary's private email server while she was Secretary of State?

    Is that all you have to say? Bringing up an old "whataboutit" that has
    been discussed to death and dismissed because none of the emails were
    marked classified. The appropriate comparison is like comparing a grape
    to a durian.

    Read what I said above once more and try to understand the difference.

    Your paragraph has a bunch of "what ifs" in it too. Nobody knows if classified information was contained in Hillary's private server because so many of the emails had already been deleted.

    "What if spies came to Trump's house and read the documents?"

    Nobody has addressed the issue of what's in those documents that Trump illegally obtained, but everyone has enthusiasm about "Trump did something
    that jeopardized our national security!" We're getting people pumped-up about how "dangerous" Trump is, which has been the name of the game since day 1.

    So somehow the documents were so sensitive that they could have got US assets killed if they fell into the wrong hands, yet not sensitive enough that they couldn't wait well over a year before trying, in earnest, to repossess them.

    I personally don't believe that they could be both at the same time, but I

    They tried multiple times, then Trump gave them some of the documents.
    His lawyers then denied that there were any more. It was only after the Arcives retrieved the first batch of documents that it became known that
    some of them were classified.

    So somehow the documents were so sensitive that they could have got US assets killed if they fell into the wrong hands, yet not sensitive
    enough that they couldn't wait well over a year before trying, in
    earnest, to repossess them.

    They made multiple attempts before they seized the documents based on a
    search warrent. It was only after they got them that it was realized
    how sensitive some of the documents were.

    I personally don't believe that they could be both at the same time,
    but I am not a Democrat so...

    As explained above they could be both. And you are not a Democrat.

    Richard Nixon was never charged with any crime.
    But he was president, and could make a deal with
    a member of congress to grant him a pardon upon
    resigning the presidency. Donald Trump no longer
    has the luxury. And found out, too late, that his
    second in command could not be trusted.

    So now he is back at square one. Getting the wife

    the game since day 1.

    how was it illegally obtained?

    That was never the question.

    he was POTUS at the time and was allowed to have them,

    The documents do not belong to him, and never did. Why he chose
    not to return them after having been requested to do so is the issue.

    not to mention the fact that the fbi/doj/national records offices have had over 6 months TO GO GET THE DAMN THINGS out of mar-a-lago.

    Trump was requested to return the documents in a timely manner.
    Trump did not abide by that request, and basically did nothing.
    So a legal search was done by the FBI and those documents were
    found and retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. Except fot those documents
    that could not be found.

    but they didnt... i wonder why.

    Trump's refusal to return the documents in a timely manner is an

    which could potentially have been de-classifed when he was in office.

    Not by Trump, given the steps necessary to have done so.
    Since those classified documents had never been declassified,
    that means Trump told the news media a bald-faced lie.

    needs to know. What Trump did was dangerous and against the law.

    prove it. with undeniable and public record and fact and not just heresay

    Lying under oath is a crime. But lying to the news media can be

    not to mention the shit ton of classified crap that other presidents (on both sides) have taken

    Every president has his own CYA policy.
    But once a president leaves office, that CYA policy no longer applies.
    Richard Nixon should have remembered that.
    But no.
    He had to hang on to those tapes ...

    Mike Pence can no longer save Donald Trump ...

    so again.... how was it illegally obtained then "BY YOUR QUOTE"

    he was POTUS at the time and was allowed to have them,

    not to return them after having been requested to do so is the issue.

    never said they belonged to him although now you bring it up, what about the attorney/client priviledged
    stuff, his passports, PRIVATE financial records that WERE ILLEGALLY obtained BY THE FBI

    not to mention the fact that the fbi/doj/national records offices have had over 6 months TO GO GET THE DAMN THINGS out
    of mar-a-lago.

    Trump was requested to return the documents in a timely manner.
    Trump did not abide by that request, and basically did nothing.

    he was asked to put them in a secure place for them to be picked up. which he did
    the govt/NRO et al NEVER picked them up, yet that's his problem?

    So a legal search was done by the FBI and those documents were
    found and retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. Except fot those documents
    that could not be found.

    legal? you mean by lying on an affadavit (AGAIN)?


    but they didnt... i wonder why.

    Trump's refusal to return the documents in a timely manner is an
    issue. Was his refusal to return those documents illegal? If so, why
    was he not charged with a crime?

    he never refused to turn them over... only the attorney client or otherwised priviledge documents.
    by your logic, why did the NRO/FBI etc not pick up the documents THEY REQUESTED be stored in a
    secure place which they were. goes towo ways here. they had MULTIPLE opportunities to pick them up... like at least 3 months worth of opportunities, yet they didnt.

    never said they belonged to him

    This may come as a surprise to you, but in some parts of the world, taking something that does not belong to you *is* actually a crime. It's called theft.

    Hello Charles,

    If what Trump did was so dangerous, and against the law, then
    why wasn't he charged with a crime? Oh, that's right. No evidence.

    I have no doubt that he will be charged, but also that he will use any
    delaying technique he can invent.

    i doubt hunter will be charged or hillary charged,

    Neither Clinton nor Biden has ever been charged of any crime.

    In regards to her emails, Hillary Clinton was cleared of any
    wrongdoing by the FBI Director, James Comey, who said what she
    did was stupid but not criminal.

    In regards to some mysterious laptop that was found at some computer
    repair shop, there are lots of laptops around the world that can be
    claimed as belonging to Hunter Biden. But does that mean that any of
    those laptops are actually his, or that he had actually used any of
    them?

    or biden charged either....

    Why should Joe Biden be charged with a crime?

    even though there is mountains of evidence against them all

    Funny nobody has seen any evidence supporting any of your claims.

    spoke to Lee Lofaso about Why not Trump <=-

    how was it illegally obtained? he was POTUS at the time and was
    allowed to have them,

    But he has not been POTUS for a year and a half, and is no longer
    allowed to have them.

    not to mention the fact that the
    fbi/doj/national records offices have had over 6 months TO
    GO GET THE DAMN THINGS out of mar-a-lago.

    but they didnt... i wonder why.

    They tried, but he stalled, then he gave some, then he said there were
    no more there -- even when there were.

    What is in those documents is classified information -
    - some at levels above Top Secret. That is all any one of
    us

    which could potentially have been de-classifed when he was in office.

    Could have been perhaps, but were not. They were still marked as being classified.

    needs to know. What Trump did was dangerous and against the law.

    prove it. with undeniable and public record and fact and not just
    heresay

    The FBI inventory shows what was taken under search warrent. The fact
    that they were in Trump's possession was against the law. The fact that
    they were in an unsecure area where people with no clearance had access
    formed a clear violation and was dangerous.

    If what Trump did was so dangerous, and against the law, then
    why wasn't he charged with a crime? Oh, that's right. No evidence.

    not to mention the shit ton of classified crap that other
    presidents (on both sides) have taken

    Really? Which Presidents did that?

    ok with regards to hunter.... i guess that everyone you know has pictures of him with hookers while doing blow?

    or emails of him with oil/gas companies doing shady deals "with the big man" which has been proven to be referring to old man joe

    or the fact that hunter calls his dad a paedo in voice mails amongst other things.

    as far as hillary, dereliction of duty in benghazi for one, james comy "cleared" her because his excuse is "she didnt have the intent" but where is intent a clearing factor... (an analogy) sorry officer, i didnt mean to hit that kid, it wasn't my intent to hit them. sure then just go along your way...

    even comy admitted shit she did, emails on an unclassified server that's in her closet... amongst other things but of course, he's a raving loonie and under heer paybucket anyway.... not to mention the spying on an opponents campaign, which is illegal..... and dare i say... the dossier that she paid for which was all (excuse the pun) trumped up.

    yea sure.. this is all fact, just go search up on CNN or the WaPo.

    i ain't doing your homework for you.... we are all entitled to spout what we beleive, just the lefties like bullshit more

    Stupidity is not a crime. That is what James Comey said, calling
    Hillary a "stupid woman." Hillary even agreed with him. But never
    apologized for who she was, or what she did.

    Quite the opposite of Donald Trump, who calls himself a "stable
    genius." And we all know what he called women like Hillary Clinton.

    Lee

    Yes, you are entitled to spout what ever you believe. But if you expect
    to have any credibility, what you say should fit with facts and not be
    just regurgitated conspiracy garbage.

    On 01 Oct 2022, Charles Blackburn said the following...

    Not by Trump, given the steps necessary to have done so.
    Since those classified documents had never been declassified,
    that means Trump told the news media a bald-faced lie.

    yes by trump... while he was in office he could have declassified them.
    You see Charles, there is a long ongoing belief within these democratic and liberal minds alike that Trump did something wrong.
    Even though he is not guilty of what he has been accused of.
    However these sycophants within Democratic Party are trying to seize this as an opportunity to eliminate him on that basis.

    Why is beyond obvious.

    They see this "fussing over these documents" as their last opportunity,
    because it was the hearings on January 6th that was meant to stop the
    political heartbeat of DJT, but history will determine that this kangaroo commission and these band of zealots are rotten and because they are
    indeed rotten they should be expelled and excommunicated from Washington.
    I would even suggest that it should be considered to start the process to dissolve the Democratic Party.
    Just look at what these treasonous snakes have done within their quest and thirst for power.
