It would be a good argument to point out the various government officials who had taken classified materials from the government (Hillary Clinton, Gen. Patraeus, Colin Powell, etc.) and argue why their instances were similar or dissimilar to Trump's. But instead, you just threw a bunch of irrelevant stuff on the wall hoping that people wouldn't look into it to realize it had absolutely nothing to do with the conversation at hand or even the point you were trying to make. Laws often are complex, but this isn't a particular complex situation. A private citizen had classified materials in their home and the government suspected they hadn't returned everything when asked. And while we don't know what specifically they were looking for because Trump won't release the search warrant, one main difference is a new law passed in 2018 to specifically address this issue. Because of that law (signed by Trump), what may not have been a crime in the past may be one today. Yes, laws are complex. Thank you, gifted one, for that pearl of wisdom. I didn't state that the issues I brought up had anything specifically to do with the FBI raid. However, there is a pattern where Trump is concerned that you and other may find possible to ignore, I am not so inclined. I'm neither judge nor jury, and since I will never have access to every detail of the raid (or any other issue), I can only look at trends and patterns. I can also look to comments made by politicians and those in leadership positions, note the concerns expressed about governmental overreach and weaponization of DOJ etc and share those concerns. It seems to me you support that sort of thing, I don't. I think we're on the 5th way from Sunday. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these claims about the politicization of the FBI and DoJ just ignore all of the times it was used against the Left. Cherry pick when law enforcement went after conservatives, ignore when it went after liberals, and claim that it has an institutional bias. Instead of it being a deeply flawed law enforcement institution, it's somehow being portrayed as an arm of the DNC by bad faith actors or people who don't see the bigger picture.

GWB, for example, was accused by his opponents of manufacturing intelligence to send American troops to fight and die in a foreign war. He went to Texas and became pals with his accusers. And Trump supporters are the fascists? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Violent rhetoric circulates on the pro-Trump internet following FBI search, including against a judge "Lock and load," was one of the top comments on an online forum dedicated to former President Donald Trump on Monday night, soon after it emerged his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort had been searched by the FBI. Other posts were more explicit, "I'm just going to say it. [Attorney General Merrick] Garland needs to be assassinated. Simple as that." Another user posted, "kill all feds." Users also encouraged others to post the address of the magistrate judge they believe signed off on the search warrant.

The FBI has found absolutely nothing on Trump and that's why searching his home for the classified documents he admitted he took from the White House is purely political and not an example of them actually finding something on him. If you believe the FBI doesn't go after the Left, I have a golf course in Scotland to sell you.

Instead of it being a deeply flawed law enforcement institution, it's somehow being portrayed as an arm of the DNC by bad faith actors or people who don't see the bigger picture. If it's "deeply flawed", I'm not certain why you would trust the motives of an historically unprecedented action. Surely there must be something between 'do nothing' and 'tactical armed raid'? With that in mind, if you see the key institutions as "deeply flawed", maybe you're a 5 or 6 on the cynicism meter. I see the upper level players as untrustworthy and willing to do some dirty work in pursuit of their cause, so I'm at 7 or 8. I'm comfortable discussing FBI/DOJ action against anyone, and I'm also comfortable that there are political elements that are unsavory from both parties. If you're suggesting someone is claiming it's all one sided, stand down, it wasn't and hasn't been me. There were many avenues to pursue in an attempt to disqualify Trump in the eyes of the electorate. I would have had precious few issues with any of them. However, when it comes to allegations that of a coup took place, that the Trump election was illegitimate, and that Trump was guilty of treason, I see that as McCarthyism. I don't understand how you don't, at least insofar as what Mueller revealed. I asked @nedboy7 to share his thoughts based on his standards regarding declarations of illegitimate elections in 2016, but he suddenly went missing on that issue. I have said it before, I'll say it again. The stage was set for claims of an illegitimate election by the dems (Warren, Klobuchar) and the republicans (Trump and others). In the case of the dems, that would have been the second election in a row. Trump runs with Stop the Steal, but suddenly we can't talk about illegitimate/stolen/coup and election outcomes. What a difference 4 years makes. I'm happy to acknowledge that dems are targeted, but this is about Trump, it's been supersized for years, and that's the fact, jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because these corrupt government agencies politicizing law enforcement, enforcing a system of conditional justice where who you are and who you know and not what you did is what matters, while weaponizing government agencies to persecute the political opponents of the ruling party are the biggest internal threat to our democracy and freedoms that we've faced since the Civil War. Trump is just an actor in the show. These ass clowns are trying to re-write the script. Edited August 10, 2022 by All_Pro_Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Trump didn't lie when he told you first that they were spying on his campaign and early Presidency. If you still think he lied about that then you have blinders on. Remember the attempted redefining of "spying" that went on? It was surveillance by confdenial human sources... That's not spying!
