Donald Trump is under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice


Recommended Posts

Early reports that the F.B.I. search of former President Donald J. Trump’s residence in Florida related to an investigation into whether he had unlawfully taken government files when he left the White House focused attention on an obscure criminal law barring removal of official records. The penalties for breaking that law include disqualification from holding any federal office.

Specifically, the law in question — Section 2071 of Title 18 of the United States Code — makes it a crime if someone who has custody of government documents or records “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies or destroys” them.

If convicted, defendants can be fined or sentenced to prison for up to three years. In addition, the statute says, if they are currently in a federal office, they “shall forfeit” that office, and they shall “be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

As an immigrant whose parents suffered under the horrors of a Stalinist dictatorship,

Gorka has an intimate knowledge of how weaponizing law enforcement against peaceful “dissenting” citizens usually turns out.

Epstein again


History of Judge Who Signed Off on Trump Raid Raises All Kinds of Red Flags

 

 

The warrant was rubber-stamped by Magistrate Judge named Bruce Reinhardt.

As Ron Coleman points out, that’s highly suspect given the profile of the situation.

 

Why did a low-level, unconfirmed, unappointed magistrate judge sign off on the most consequential FBI warrant in decades? If any warrant application demanded the eyes of a real judge, it would be one targeting the former President of the United States. Yet, this judge was happy to give the FBI what they wanted while the FBI was happy to accept.

It's not a raid.  My god.  Calm down with your BS takes. 

“I don’t know,” Mr. Trump said. “I haven’t really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly.”

“I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach,” the president continued, referring to the Florida town where his Mar-a-Lago resort is and where Mr. Epstein had a home. “But I wish her well, whatever it is.”

 

It was 1992, and Mr. Houraney had flown two dozen or so women in for what was supposed to be a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago. The only guests, it turned out, were Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein.

Mr. Houraney, who at the time had just teamed up with Mr. Trump to host events at his casinos, was taken aback.

“I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,’” he recalled. “‘You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”

The first tweet is dead on. FBI raiding an ex-presidents home... nearly 90,000 IRS agents hired, 96% of which are hired to go after people and taxes (not making the process quicker as the administration touts) which will NO DOUBT effect the middle and even lower class filers and you have ATF agents going to LEGAL GUN OWNERS HOMES asking to see their LEGAL firearms.

It's funny what all these people who claim to support "Law and Order" and downplayed or dismissive of criminal justice reform in 2020 are now out screaming secession and tyranny.

 

If you have an issue with a legally obtained warrant issued on the correct address with no one being killed, and don't have it when police kick down the wrong door and kill someone, really ask yourself why you're upset.

so the FBI search of Mar a Lago is a deep state democratic plot to elect a republican president in 2024?

 

 

The GOP nominee, yes.  The only one they feel they can beat - so their best chance to win.

It's a joke at this point.

That's the point.  

 

Meaning they better find something.  But they won't.  If there was anything, they would have gotten rid of it at least 2 months ago.

The thing is that the left has no one to run who has a chance no matter who it's against.
