Schumer: GOP's Indulgence Of 'MAGA Republicans' Will Backfire

If only they were so free-handed with trumps tax returns.
Imagine the looks on the magat-minions faces if they ever saw them.

From another board, there is a multi-use term: trumpsterf_(NSFW)_k

For the “Sensitive Compartmented Information” documents, how did they get into trumps hands to begin with?

If they are only to be viewed in secured areas, aren’t the copies of such information tracked?

Well, guess it depends on who’s doing the tracking.

Incidentally, trumpster’s lawyers are confusing the trump appointed lawyer. Check out this interesting run down on the trump legal team in action:

The federal judge assigned to hear the ‘case’ Trump filed yesterday in a motion that Trump made up and called a “Request for Judicial Oversight and Additional Relief” ordered Trump’s lawyers to explain what the heck they filed and why this Court would even have jurisdiction over the matter in the first place.

But, but but… He hires only The Best!
Just ask all those he’s fired.

Nonono… Trump is going to represent himself. After all, he is the best lawyer that ever lived.

Note, this is still just a rumor, but apparently no lawyer want to represent Trump.

Fact Check: Is Donald Trump Representing Himself In Lawsuit Against DOJ?

BY TOM NORTON ON 8/23/22 AT 2:59 PM EDT

But wait, here they are, just flown in
Lindsey Halligan, James M. Trusty, and M. Evan Corcoran.

A real dream team

… The two out-of-state attorneys, Trusty and Corcoran, filed their pro hac vice motions along with the ex-president’s original petition – including Halligan’s blessing as a member of the Florida Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Latin retained in the service of legalese, attorneys frequently file motions to represent clients in different jurisdictions by filing for pro hac vice or “this occasion only” passes. Without good cause (or, more often, opposition from opposing counsel) to deny any such request, courts typically sign off on such asks without much fanfare or attention.

In a paperless order, Judge Cannon denied both Trusty’s and Corcoran’s requests without prejudice because they apparently filed them incorrectly. A clerk’s notice filed late Monday – in direct response to the pro hac vice motions – offered a preview of this ruling. In that clerk’s notice of filing deficiency, however, a box was checked that suggested the deficiency had to do with a “[t]ranslation not provided for documents written in foreign language.” …

Fortunately guess they have a mellow forgiving judge so they’ll get it cleared up just as soon as they can.

Another day, another new piece of the puzzle is revealed.

Archives asked for records in 2021 after Trump lawyer agreed they should be returned, email says

By Josh Dawsey and Jacqueline Alemany
Updated August 24, 2022

The email shows NARA officials were concerned about Trump keeping dozens of boxes of official records even before he left the White House — concerns that only grew in the coming months as Trump repeatedly declined to return the records. It also showed that Trump’s lawyers had concerns about Trump taking the documents and agreed that the boxes should be returned — at least according to the top Archives officials — while Trump kept the documents. …

The previously unreported email — sent about 100 days after the former president left office with the subject line “Need for Assistance re Presidential Records” — also illustrates the myriad efforts Archives officials made to have documents including classified material returned over an 18-month period, culminating with an FBI raid this month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.

and so on an so forth.

Oh and lookie, this just in:

There is plenty that Kemp can tell the grand jury, according to the filing:

Movant [Kemp] can testify inter alia about the existence of any evidence the Trump campaign or operatives provided to support their theory that Georgia’s election was “rigged”;
Movant can testify about the identity of the people who attempted to communicate with him and whether they identified as representatives of Mr. ‘Trump;
he can testify to the number of times he received or made calls related to the Trump campaign’s allegations and demands that he take action;
he can testify about the specific contents of his phone conversations;
he can testify about the contents of his telephone conversation with Mr. Trump;
he can testify about whether Mr. Trump told Movant that he “got Movant elected”;
he can testify about ‘whether Mr. Trump specifically sought a “special election” or some other form of relief;
he can testify about conversations about “election integrity”;
he can testify about whether threats were made by Mr. Trump or others;
he can testify about his responses to Mr. Trump. …

DOJ could have just asked for the documents ! ! !

Alex Wagner notes the considerable drop in volume of some of Donald Trump’s most bombastic Republican supporters following the release of a redacted copy of the affidavit for the search of Mar-a-Lago.

Little t’s legal dream team

Donald Trump just filed a supplemental motion for judicial oversight and other relief in connection with the lawsuit he filed to stop the DOJ from reviewing records and have a special master appointed. The motion is yet another bizarre and doomed-to-fail motion.

Here’s a closer look at trump legal moves to confront the unpresidential search

BREAKING: Trump files BIZARRE supplemental motion two hours before federal court deadline

It’s not like these lawyers are going to get paid anyways

They don’t know that and is a measure of their competence…
They think that if Trump doesn’t pay them they can sue him.
Ain’t that a hoot… :scream: :scream:

Trump wants his cult to go to the mattresses.

Threats against government agencies are on the rise as Donald Trump’s spreads disinformation about the FBI search of his Florida’s estate. Justice Correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal and MSNBC Contributor Joyce Vance joined American Voices with Alicia Menendez to discuss the investigation into how Donald Trump handled classified information.

When is this seditionist going to be arrested ? He is fixing to start a civil war.
There are laws against his type of speech. I believe it is called “incitement to violence” or “inchoate offense”.

Incitement

In criminal law, incitement is the encouragement of another person to commit a crime. Depending on the jurisdiction, some or all types of incitement may be illegal . Where illegal, it is known as an inchoate offense, where harm is intended but may or may not have actually occurred.
Incitement - Wikipedia

And violence has already occurred. Put this guy in solitary confinement, incommunicado, and then figure out what punishment is appropriate just for the criminal acts he has already committed.
Those alone should put him behind bars for the rest of his life. And he knows this!

This is why he will stop at nothing to create havoc from which he can walk away scot-free. He has used this tactic all his life and gotten away with it.
HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED AND MUZZLED NOW!

he will become a martyr and DeSantis or Cruz will take up the mantle riding the wave of craziness as far as they can.

It sounds like DeSantis is already becoming Dictator of Florida.

I don’t know. Don’t martyrs usually stand for something, besides being narcissistic idiot pig and hell of freakshow to watch - but there’s nothing there to believe in, just a nasty mouth that impresses scared hateful people who have given up and just want to rage.

DOJ speaks, just the facts:

It’s amazing, every day, outdoes the past.

Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney, talks with Alex Wagner about how Donald Trump’s argument in a court hearing over whether a special master should be appointed to review the material recovered from Mar-a-Lago by the FBI is really about discrediting the DOJ in the public eye than it is about making a legal argument.

I don’t have any classified documents
Anything I have I declassified
You shouldn’t be surprised an ex-president has classified documents
I didn’t know I had classified documents
I didn’t pack the documents

Not My Fault!!!

What’s that story … “And then they came for me”

McConnell is the next one to be tossed aside.

“He’s not good, and we’re gonna go through him, and then we’ll have to do something, later on, we’ll have to do something with him,” Trump said.

“The party is furious at him. We have to put up with him for a period of time, but eventually, he’ll be gone,” Trump added. “He’s bad news.”

Trump says the GOP is ‘furious’ with Mitch McConnell: ‘We have to put up with him for a period of time, but eventually he’ll be gone’ (yahoo.com)

I know their love fest has been souring lately, now trump just doesn’t need him anymore

Gingrich father of GOP dedication to incivility lives on and on.
Trump Champion.

A document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities, was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and private club last month, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about classified material stashed in the Florida property.

Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.

Documents about such highly classified operations require special clearances on a need-to-know basis, not just top-secret clearance. …

Some American that trump da Traitor is, MAGAman.
