This is an epically dumb fake story. I don't care if it was Biden's chief of staff, I'm pretty sure it's not that unusual for a DOJ boss to meet with people from the administration. Do the magats know that DOJ is in the executive branch? 

WTAF do they think was going on with Barr and Clark and their ilk in Trump’s admin?

From the outside you can’t understand it. From the inside you can’t explain it.

Also, you’re being very generous using the word “think” when referring to maga.

On the one hand, they've got a fuck-ton of PAC money.

But on the other hand, they spend an inordinate amount of time on this kind of stuff that can't be worth more than six figures.  For a family of a billionaire, it's mighty interesting that they hyper-focus on things like fucking t-shirts.  Makes me wonder about their actual financial situation.

He’s supposedly a billionaire but got a bail bondsman. He buried his ex wife on a golf course for tax benefits. These are not actions of someone who has fuck you money 

[Red Five 40593]

How did her ex-husband even have the right to bury her on his property?

[YGIFS 19449]

It took him two years of post-presidency grifting to scrape together enough cash to replace one engine on his 757.  Granted, those things are expensive...but if you're a multi-billionaire, shouldn't be a big issue.  Like one of us replacing our tires.  

He's also had his private banking status revoked in New York.  Maybe he got a new, more discrete one in Florida, but I somehow doubt it.  Only reason you'd want to privately bank Trump's personal wealth is to be associated with him for business purposes but they're not allowed to do that.  He's literally the only billionaire I've ever heard of who doesn't have a boat or a family office or a charitable foundation.  Only one.

I don't know about their personal finances but the PAC is definitely going broke due to legal fees. Once these trials fire up it's going to get even worse.

I know but before they were barred from doing so, Don Senior never thought to start one?  I mean, he wrote some checks for some galas and fundraisers 'n shit, but every single multi-billionaire on the planet starts and maintains a full-fledged foundation.  Usually with some purpose or mission (kids, health care, environment, etc.).  After decades of supposedly being a multi-billionaire, it takes his dumbest kid-Eric to finally start something up and of course they pilfer it and run the whole thing into the fucking ground within 15 minutes.  

The only straight answer I ever got about his lack of a family office (typically deployed after about $50-$100mm in investable assets when you move on from private banking) was from a guy I know well in NYC real estate that's did multiple JV deals with Trump Organization.  He hates him now, as most of his old partners do because of how bad he flaked on shit and just played the "can't pay you, running for President" card back in 2015 and beyond.  Anyway, Sol said they all wondered the same thing, why no family office?  It's not uncommon for those guys to trade family office money into LPs.  "We're doing a $250mm office deal together.  As a show of good faith, our family office will do an $1mm LP into some nephew of yours' craft brewery and your family office puts $1mm into my college roommate's conflict-free pocket square factory" or whatever the fuck.  Don, Jr. tells him basically, "Dad doesn't want to pay for the overhead of a family office, and doesn't trust anyone to run all our money.  Plus we basically roll everything we make back into deals because everything Dad does makes more than any money managers could ever do."  Sol was intrigued but still thought to ask, "The whole point of a family office though is to diversify assets and make them endure.  You make a bunch of money in real estate or television or casinos, that's fine.  But you take that money and spread it out into all the other asset classes out there to smooth out volatility, get alpha/beta/ooh-ahh, etc."  Don, Jr. just shrugged it off and Sol tells me it was then he should have known that whole family and company was a facade, but like 35% of American voters---all the fucking red flags in the world won't stop some people.  

Trump can ring you up for a date.  Tell you that he's picking you up at 7 o'clock, but you're paying for everything, he's going to sexually assault you, drain your bank account, insult your family, slap you around a little bit, and deny ever having met you.  And the next morning you're gonna wake up and regret not thanking him more for a lovely evening.  It hurts to admit you were conned/fooled.  We've all been there to some small degree at one time or another.  But sometimes the only back out is to further in.

There was a Trump Foundation that got shutdown by the State of New York.

It's really stunning to look back on this dipshit's time as potus and realize we're somehow not all dead. I mean, a fuckton of us are dead, but not everyone. I think this kinda proves that potus is a figurehead and it's the cabinet and staff that does the heavy lifting. Otherwise he'd actually still be in power. We cannot let that happen again.

1 million Americans dead of Covid, lost 2.9 million jobs, added just under 8 trillion in debt -  Oh and we may not have a democracy in about a year. I know that people overstate the President’s impact on the economy but by just about every objective measure, he was a failure.

The nature of this case means there should not be extensions. His complaints about the high profile nature of himself and the issues works against his request for extended deadlines. The electorate needs to know if he's a convicted felon come election day, so a jury needs to make that decision early in the year.

I think of Gov.

Trump, "How does one flush so many documents down a little tiny bottle of liquid like that?"  

That they found so many classified boxes in his fucking wash closet is just absolute proof that none of this is real.  He went from bragging about not reading papers, to misplacing papers, to possibly eating papers, to possibly flushing papers, to giving all the papers back, to magically willing the papers to be his, to leaving said papers in a Florida bathroom, to claiming the FBI put the papers there, to claiming they are his papers now and forever, to saying there's no papers, and now to claiming there are papers but it's no big deal because he only shows them to assistant editors on book projects that have nothing to do with national security and he's perfect with papers.  

I really, really, really need a higher power in my life right now.  But sorry fellas, we're just being comically fucked with right now and nobody is minding the store.

Oh I agree and I think Chutkan feels the same, but she's going to kind of soft-pedal it and may wind up continuing it a month or so.

One thing that astonishes me to some extent is that we haven't seen any of Trump's vaunted pretrial motions.  I'd have thought they'd be framing those out starting months ago, before the indictments even dropped.
