Ted is trying to see which way the wind will blow on this.

It’s a major escalation regardless of what it turns up.

If it really is about giving classified docs back, why couldn’t a simple letter suffice?

I think there is a piece of information we’re all either missing or just not privy to.

I think it gives Trump major new life when I felt his brand was growing stale with the non-base. I think it’s actually a great thing for him if it really is just about docs he took with him when he left. This would be a major overreach by the FBI if that’s the case. But that may also be mitigated by what exactly is in the documents. Just too hard to tell either way with such huge pieces of info missing.

I feel like you’re better than this.

I don’t mean that as a diss. I just think you’re a standup dude and intelligent enough to separate your light trolling with actual serious shite going on in Washington.

There’s NO way you’re cool with this. You say this might give him momentum like you don’t want that to happen. Instead of being like, “holy shite why is the left giving this dude momentum?!”

I guess my point is you should want him to have momentum if you also fear this is some coordinated bullshite.

Irrelevant.

My prediction:

The DOJ will slow play this while the media simultaneously runs a “Trump was a traitor“ campaign...supported by “un-named insiders.”

They will then tie Trump to every Republican candidate currently in a tight race.

I have no doubt that Rand will speak on this.

To be fair, boosie said in another thread this would cause a shitstorm, so he thinks there has to be more to the story -- like an insider is leaking something.

All reports suggest it is the possession of classified documents angle. That can either be he gave the docs back as some reports suggest and this was “to make sure he didn’t have any others” as I’ve seen speculated elsewhere. That’s (a) weak sauce to justify a warrant and (b) this is a massive overreaction by FBI is the case. That’s best case scenario for Trump.

Medium level case is he took classified docs and refused to return them on some grounds that he wanted them declassified but the Deep State slow walked it via bureaucracy. That’s based off the Kash Patel quotes in the Breitbart article. Then I think it matters what’s in the docs and how much of a national security threat they pose. That’s the middle ground.

Worst case is something far more nefarious but we have nothing to really speculate on that other than 30 agents raiding a lightning rod of an ex-president’s house.

Rand is figuring out what is going on before he speaks up. He probably wants to see the warrant first, which is probably smart.

They are probably looking for docs Trump took in 2021 that he was warned not to take and wasn't in the 15 boxes he eventually returned under threat of a search warrant. We are past the simple letter request stage.

My thoughts exactly.
Rand isn't a bitch.
But, he is detail oriented.
Gonna step up with his guns loaded.

All of the documents he took were declassified before he left office but keep on shilling for political persecutions via the strong arm of government.

I know whataboutism is the new racist claim

But what were your thoughts about Hillary and her server?

And why do you still sarcastically carry her side’s water?

In other words "we really really really got him this time"

Tonight, Pandora's Box opened politically in this country. We are NEVER going back.

Both of them have tweeted strong statements against the raid. Damn, give folks at least a little time to gather information before they respond. That doesn’t hurt.

Except, if he is caught with a single illegal document he is completely disqualified from running for public federal office. Garland knows this is a slam dunk - whether it's ignorance on Trump's behalf of having alleged WH documents or malfeasance on behalf of a crooked FBI. Everyone else has folded and only Garland and Trump are still in the game. One has to win and the other has to go down. That's how this will play out.

Rand needs to introduce legislation to straight up abolish the FBI.

On that note, my Republican friends, are we still “lolbertarians” to you?
