The whole "if they can come after a former president, they can come after everyone" argument makes no sense anyway - yes, if they have probable cause, anyone can indeed be subject to a search warrant. Hell, they all said nobody should be above the law when it came to Hillary and the FBI..

I do hope they did find what they were looking for, because if nothing comes from the search, the faux outrage will be unbearable. Then again, given that, I'm pretty sure they only went in if they were very sure they'd find something.

I expect they will but since my understanding is that this is about him improperly taking classified material, I suspect it still won't end up being worthwhile

Oh damn.

And a MAGA loon was shot and killed after trying to break in an FBI office and firing at the police..

Warrant

Crime 1
Crime 2
Crime 3

Interestingly, none of crimes he's being investigated for are about classified documents specifically, and the "I declassified all of them and just forgot to tell anyone" defence he's trying isn't actually relevant to the crimes he's accused of here. Also, nuclear documents can't be declassified.

Call from WH switchboard to a rioter's personal phone—rioter's identity now revealed:

Adam Schiff: "Certain White House and Secret Service witnesses previously testified that they had received no intelligence about violence that could potentially threaten any of their protectees on Jan. 6 ... Evidence strongly suggests that this testimony is not credible."

Highlights from a number of emails describing intel on planned violence circulating. SS and their text-clearing looking mighty dodgy rn.

He's not even pretending anymore. He knows there are no consequences.

Final J6 committee hearing today. Number of criminal referrals expected, which means, er, probably nothing?

I think it's very interesting to think back on how some of trivialized the Trump presidency.

Still waiting for Trump to actually pay a price for his crimes.

Having to say "we didn't really mean it" isn't much of a punishment or deterrent.

Honestly don't know whether or not to be surprised none of them ended up in jail.

Hard to end up in jail if there's no criminal investigation. The AG there (a Dem) basically washed his hands of it and decided it was a DoJ issue, not his. No clue what's going on with the federal prosecutor whose territory that is.

But have you considered the fact that Trump fired a bunch of minorities? Much more important for the MAGAs out there.
