Mar-a-largo Raid: There’s Nothing New Here

I’ll say it again, this raid on Trump’s home was not about what they had on him, but rather what he had on them.

Over at Legal Insurrection Bill Jacobson has a few observations about the latest non-informational drop from the DOJ:

Despite the media frothing à la Russia Collusion, the filing did not reveal a lot new. We already knew from court filings and FBI/DOJ leaks to the media that Trump had documents marked with varying levels of classification at Mar-a-Lago. The legal issue is whether it was a crime for Trump to have those documents.

In my opinion, no. The fact of the matter is those documents were declassified, as a standing order from the commander-in-chief.

I’ll say it again, this raid on Trump’s home was not about what they had on him, but rather what he had on them.

The DOJ filing hints that what they will argue in a potential criminal process is obstruction of justice. But that’s a typical ploy by the feds — if they can’t get you for a crime, they get you for lying about the non-crime. The argument is that team Trump lied when they said all subpoenaed documents had been returned. If that’s all they have, are they really going to indict the former president and future candidate over lying about a non-crime?

But the most inflammatory part of the filing was the wholly unnecessary inclusion of a photograph of envelopes marked with various classifications that was included as an exhibit.

What was the purpose of including the photo? That such documents were found at Mar-a-Lago was already known. We also don’t know what they are about, are they the Crossfire Hurricane documents Trump expressly declassified? We don’t know.

We may not have proof positive that it was crossfire hurricane documents, but that does seem the most likely scenario.

I’ll say it again, this raid on Trump’s home was not about what they had on him, but rather what he had on them.

If this is a staged photo it may have given the feds a minor news cycle win, but it didn’t help FBI/DOJ credibility. It makes them seem like they are playing to the media, but in fact they played into Trump’s argument that the FBI/DOJ can’t be trusted.”

Well again, there’s nothing new here. We are already knew we couldn’t trust them. And as if on cue in support of that lack of trustworthiness, Merrick Garland comes out with a statement to doj employees that talking to Congress without authorization will be dealt with.

This is an obvious attempt to squash whistleblowers. The American people are coming close to learning the truth about what the doj and the FBI have been doing for the last decade or so, and Garland is getting nervous about it.

I’ll say it again, this raid on Trump’s home was not about what they had on him, but rather what he had on them.

And let’s be clear about the documents that are supposedly hidden or moved as claimed by the DOJ:

The documents were found in Trump’s desk. If you were going to hide documents, would you leave them in your primary work area? Did the department of Justice figure that he was going to do his research in the storage area?

I’ll say it again, this raid on Trump’s home was not about what they had on him, but rather what he had on them.

But now suddenly, we find that Joe Biden had classified documents that he shouldn’t have had it all back when he was vice president. And they turned up at his Chinese paid for think tank in delaware. What could possibly go wrong here?

And of course the FBI didn’t get involved with that situation. Nor did the doj, at least that they’ll admit to. The answer as to why seems uniquely obvious.

From The Federalist:

The head of Twitter’s censorship scheme to shadowban conservative accounts and posts across the platform previously worked as an operative for the FBI and CIA.

According to a now-unavailable LinkedIn profile discovered by journalist Andy Ngo, Jeff Carlton, whose prior work included serving as a federal intelligence officer, became the leading member of Twitter’s Strategic Response Team (SRT) last month. As revealed in a batch of “Twitter Files” released by reporter Bari Weiss on Thursday, SRT is one of the main groups at Twitter tasked with shadowbanning conservative accounts and tweets on the platform. 
These corrupt connections keep popping up. 

None of this is going to put our minds at ease about the clearly corrupted FBI.

..

My take is this is just beginning.

The question is what will be done about it?

It’s all been a scam since day one. Watch this to the end

You’ve got to see this here. A baseball cap tip to Dave Rubin for this:

Show this to your “woke” friends.

Yep… It’s just like this…

From the firtile mind of Denise Kellogg:

Just another coincidence that 5 rental cars caught fire 3 weeks after they claim the first batch of documents was found. I’m sure none of the documents were related to Hunter or Ukraine
I am guessing the corrupt DOJ burned Classified Documents in those 5 vehicles to cover damning evidence of Biden Regime corruption. Seems like it worked

Maybe we have saved a vintage Corvette from being burned like the rest, huh?

I said the other day that there was no reason for us to trust AG Garland. I am more, not less convinced of that now.

I propose to you that the reasons Garland decided to go with this special counsel are to block the Republican Congress from a real investigation, and to cover the backsides of the Democrat party because it is appearing increasingly obvious that at one point or another between now and two years from now Joe Biden is going to be going down in the flames of corruption.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a Government, which we might expect in a country without Government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.”

Why is that eye-popping, you might ask.
.
Well, that is the home of the Biden Center in Washington, where top secret documents were “found” in Joe Biden’s closet.
.
The Penn Biden Center’s source of funding is relevant because Biden’s stashed classified documents at Penn Biden Center pertain to Ukraine, Iran, and the United Kingdom.
.
Do these top-secret documents reveal who benefited from millions doled out by foreign interests connected to Hunter Biden’s work in China and Ukraine?
.
Will we ever know?

Some observation of psychologically weak men throughout history, and what they have done would seem to expose as a lie the idea that tough men are any kind of a threat to our society.

Just now, we’re Kevin McCarthy keeps going vote after vote and down in flames on each occasion tells us clearly that the GOP establishment still hasn’t gotten the message. There’s a reason why romney, mccain, and Jeb Bush were rejected by the GOP voter. It is imperative that Kevin McCarthy suffer the same fate, for the future of the party, and the future of the country.

The Democrats as bad as they are are not nearly as dangerous as the GOP establishment. The difference being, the Democrats aren’t pretending to be Republicans.

I am extremely heartened by the progress I see with Buffalo bills player demar Hamlin following that incident the other night. I do find it interesting though that suddenly it’s okay to pass along thoughts of Goodwill and pray in public again. As a comic friend of mine told me once, of course there’s a God. The test of that is when the ground shaking you’re going to look up, with your hands folded if you’re any kind of a human being at all.

In observing the non-happenings in the House of Representatives yesterday some rather obvious trends emerge.

The House agreed to adjourn after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) failed to secure the speakership in three ballots cast Tuesday, ending the day with his hard-fought bid for the gavel in jeopardy.

Competing factions will huddle over next steps after Republicans found themselves at an impasse over who should lead the lower chamber. Lawmakers adjourned by voice vote until noon Wednesday after 20 Republicans opposed McCarthy, choosing instead to throw their support behind Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

What we have here is a demonstration of the gap between the GOP establishment and the GOP rank and file.

I’ve been pointing out for years that the rank and file gop, the average Joe and Jane voter, are by far more conservative than the establishment is. Observe if you will the nomination and election of Donald Trump, the GOP rank and file sitting on its hands with the John McCain and Mitt Romney campaigns, and tell me that the GOP establishment isn’t wildly unpopular with the GOP average voter.

It seems rather clear that Kevin McCarthy is far too much of an establishment ass kisser for the taste of the GOP voter.

And for the record, you can count me as one of the people who think Jim Jordan is the obvious choice.

Back in the days of Jimmy Carter, American car manufacturers we’re forced by government mismanagement created oil shortages, to create some of the worst cars in American history. The Chevy chevette. The Ford pinto. The Chevy Vega. The Ford Fairmount. And so on and so on.

The history of these much maligned beasts is fairly well known. All of them were rushed through the design process and out onto the market to answer a governmentally created crisis. As a result of that hurry up, their resulting quality, drivability, and safety were at best sub par.

Ultimately the problems that caused the oil shortages were solved by two things: The ballot box, and the free market.

We were told through those years by the environmental whack job left that we were killing the planet and we were running out of oil. Of course, neither charge proved true. The planet is doing fine, and suddenly we found more oil than we know what to do with. Until Joe Biden.

It got to the point where the only way that the environmental whack job left was going to succeed in its vision was to openly declare war on the oil industry using the power of government to shut it down. And so Joe Biden did precisely that.

We find ourselves in a remarkably similar situation to the Jimmy Carter years. Same political party, same political goals, same result. A governmentally induced oil shortage, and the government insisting that we move to rather hastily designed and Ill thought out electric vehicles. Which by many accounts have some serious flaws in them.

One would have thought that we would have learned our lesson the first time around.
