Tar+Feathers= Justice

 

Nope, not really. Let me show you what true jsutice for him would look like, my sweet summer child.

First step, AG of NY bringing down to his criminal family enterprise, and all the people he had ripped off over the years forcing him and his family klan into bankruptcy. He can pay them off with his Super Scam PAC for all I care. After that's done, then comes the second step. Put the whole lot of them as defendants in a criminal court. Let him be released in a few years for humanitarian reasons and let him then roam the streets of NYC as destitute homeless guy, brgging for money from people passing by what was formerly known as Trump tower*, only for cops and security to chase him away.

*I am ok with Streets of Florida, and Mar-a-Lago instead of Trump Tower.

Larry of the Lake -- yes, but it's exciting! The implications of ending, or surviving, scrutiny from the DOJ CI department is something else.

Will it be a nothingburger, where Big Donald survives, lionized? Or will there be an indictment, the end of his career, and martyrdom?

There ARE streaming services with a shitload of law & order or thriller series, you know?!

TormundsWoman -- yes, of course but the good guys always win. I want to see the bad guy win ;)

Nuclear. Information.  

Apparently the warrant was, at least in part, referencing Nuclear Information...

I’m waiting for the release of the warrant.  But… assuming this is correct is anyone surprised the former grifter in chief would steal shit like this to sell?

Idk if he was trying to sell it. Other reports say the documents were kept in an unlocked storage room where any staffer or club member could have gotten to them. They only put a lock on the door after they learned authorities wanted them or something like that. Very strange if accurate.

Ah haha -- that's hot, that's hot. I wasn't anticipating prison time for random documents, but this would be different..

:drool: delicioso :drool:

No way did he take and keep top secret documents without planning to sell them.

How much money did Jared get from the Saudis again?

Mindwalker -- anything is possible, but I think it more likely he stole those documents to use as leverage rather than profit (why take risk as a billionaire). Believe me -- I've been to Sarasota, and I've seen those McMansions; as a narcissist, he wants power, plain and simple.

MINOR SPOILER. Consider Frank Underwood, who said in House of Cards, 

Spoiler

“Such a waste of talent. He chose money over power. In this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the Mc-mansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn’t see the difference.”

I also want to throw this out there. Even though I had originally thought this went too far -- i.e., a conspiracy theory -- this surprising admission by Merrick leads me to believe that he alone ordered the raid, without influence from higher.

And given what he was originally hired to do, and how hesitant he's been in taking out Big Donald in any decisive way, maybe the intent was to throw a softball. Thus, unless Merrick pins him down, this whole scandal will seem like he facilitated his old boss's return.

WP VIA MSN

Attorney General Merrick Garland said he could not discuss the investigation on Thursday. But in an unusual public statement at the Justice Department, he announced he had personally authorized the decision to seek court permission for a search warrant.

New take on conservative Reddit: okay so maybe it’s not all that great that God-Emperor Trump had some nuclear secrets in his bedroom, but whatever though, because the real crime here is that it took Biden a year and a half to get those nuclear secrets back.

A stern warning about slippery slopes and such:

The Shovel’s view on the Donald Trump FBI raid

We are certainly no fans of Donald Trump – let’s make that clear from the outset. But yesterday’s raid by the FBI on the home of a former president sets a dangerous precedent...

I read this earlier and it's very well done, and funny!

It's not like history isn't replete with examples of that already. The bad guys winning is possibly the irl rule rather than the exception. Though that is also a matter of perspective. Everyone's the good guy in the head-biopic of their life. I imagine the Proud Boys aren't sitting around a camp fire musing to one another about whether they're the baddies.

Mandatory Youtube link because it's always worth watching at least one more time.

I'm inclined to agree with them. Lock Biden up too. And Garland and Wray and Comey too!

Lock them up! 

Lock them up!
