But it doesn't seem the DOJ is going to do so. 

Look, I want to believe, I really do but after the last seven years of documenting all the crimes, it’s hard for me to give DOJ the benefit of the doubt when it’s clear Trump should have been taken into custody long ago.  

I watched Reality Winner serve four years in prison for whistleblowing on the coverup of the 2016 election interference while Flynn, Manafort, Stone, and Bannon got pardons for some really treacherous shit.

[Hookah Horns 3057]

Lol. From NYT. SIAP..

Quote

Shortly before Mr. Garland made the announcement, a person close to Mr. Trump reached out to a Justice Department official to pass along a message from the former president to the attorney general. Mr. Trump wanted Mr. Garland to know that he had been checking in with people around the country and found them to be enraged by the search.

“The country is on fire” was the message that Mr. Trump wanted conveyed, according to a person familiar with the exchange. “What can I do to reduce the heat?”

 

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

Here's more re: Kash Patel (SIAP). Reminder that Chris Miller was the Acting Secretary of Defense (after Esper was fired) from November of 2020 until Trump's departure. Patel was under Miller, and there was a delay of Pentagon meetings during the transition to which the Biden administration did not agree.

 

Patel is threatening Muller docs among other things, I think was the chatter. Did not check sources so beware.

Crisis as a word has been degraded to a shadow of what it should convey.

The news networks in general have destroyed the meaning of "Breaking News." They just like having it in the banner because it makes them feel like journalists as they sit around talking about news that some print reporter dug up for them to quote.

Again, I wonder if this is Putin's last move with Trump. Allow the US to recognize that their system installed a Russian asset and then continued to support him when the truth came out.  And his supporters will even then not step away.

This must be the brightest spot in Putin's daily considerations. His army is getting chewed up and shit out in Ukraine, his health may be failing, but he can still play with his toy in American.

It would be a great way for Putin to fuck around with Americans. Already a lot of distrust between the parties, that’s been deliberately caused by the GOP.  Put it out there that Trump is officially a Russian asset and watch the GOP spin that.  While Trump would still have supporters, even if he admitted to it, plenty of Republicans would be conflicted when they vote for every (R) on the ballot.

There's no reason to believe this is over and that the search was the culmination of DOJ's effort, rather than a significant step along the way to a decision about an indictment on multiple counts. None.

These people are nothing but cowards.  I’ve called out several that I know, and a few that I don’t.  Pointed out that the Trump haters I know don’t have a problem saying “fuck Trump”.  Had one person say he didn’t want his kids to see it, and I told his kids the meaning of it (I was politic and didn’t say “fuck” but sad “your dad won’t say the f-word but it’s what he means).

One example of why it's difficult for amateurs to attempt to FOIA. An agency will have your head spin. There is training available, some of it I believe for free.

It shouldn't be this way but when it's a high ranking member of government, and especially the president, they want to leave it up to political means. 

Also Trump's people controlled the DOJ while he was president so they weren't going to do anything then. Now that he's no longer in control it seems to me given what's happened this week is likely Garland has been using the last year and a half to set this up. 

But in the end the big weakness in the American system is it requires the people to not put up with treasonous criminal bullshit from their political candidates. So the rot in the political system can still fuck this up

Well, if you mean long ago in terms of prior to January 20, 2017, then I wholly agree.  And Trump is far from the only of his ilk that has gone unpunished.

But if you mean any time between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021, then you were/are being naive.

It’d also be the kind of thing he shouldn’t be taking out of the Oval Office, if he even had reason to have or see it at all. And certainly shouldn’t be auto-declassified due to some standing policy of he did take it to the residence, let alone to Florida. 
 

just because he decided he wants to read up on America’s most closely guarded information at his leisure on the shitter doesn’t mean it gets declassified because he does so.
