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

I’m still wondering how trump got some of those documents in the first place.

If they were used at a meeting, shouldn’t the documents and copies be controlled and tracked?
I suppose that may have been partly why Archives and DOJ/FBI knew he still had some of the documents.

I imagine there is a lot of Security Policy re-writing these days.

Yep, Trump has managed to destroy trust in government altogether and a Democracy depends on the trust and good-will of the people. It is a civilized form of government.

Unfortunately, the uncivilized mob has been loosed on the Democracy and it remains to be seen if the damage can be ever undone.

That’s how we end up with so many miniscule, crazy laws because somebody figured out how to game the system between the rules.

Video RESURFACES of Trump moving IDENTICAL BOXES from Mar-A-Lago to Bedminster in May 2021
MeidasTouch

Video from May 8, 2021 taken by the DailyMail has resurfaced showing Trump boarding a jet from Florida to Bedminster with multiple boxes bearing a strong resemblance to boxes of top secret materials found at Mar-a-Lago. On May 6, NARA had contacted Trump’s team saying documents were missing and may be at Mar-a-Lago.

“Better check Bedminster…” Strzok tweeted. “On May 6, [the National Archives and Records Administration] emails Trump to say material is missing and may be at [Mar-a-Lago]. On May 9, Trump gets on a private plane from Palm Beach to Bedminster. On video, several boxes are seen loaded onto the plane.”

The President of the United States personally overseeing the transfer of boxes from one location to another, in response to an alarm that secret files are missing, speaks volumes of the personal interest the president had in their importance.

This guy was, is, and always will be an enemy of the state.

“Trump’s Lawyers ATTACK Special Master who THEY WANTED in new HUMILIATING legal filing”
MeidasTouch

In a stunning and embarrassing legal filing, Donald Trump’s lawyers just criticized the Special Master Judge Raymond Dearies proposed case management order because it asked Trump to answer what documents he declassified. Trump’s lawyers told Judge Dearie in the filing that they don’t want to answer that question now. Trump is not off to a good start before the special master.

Sep 19, 2022 - MSNBC

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell analyzes a New York Times Report that Donald Trump was warned of legal liability of taking classified documents late last year well after he left the White House and what it could mean for the DOJ’s classified document investigation.

This story keeps developing and
it never seems to make anything look better for the MAGAlair in CHIEF.

Leaked Text Messages of Former Georgia Senator Show MAGA Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

Schmuck is as schmuck does.

… Trump came into the meeting thinking he was going to be a part of the conversation about the appointment, and Kemp’s decision to keep the selection process outside of the former president’s orbit didn’t win the governor any favors, as Bluestein detailed in “Flipped: How Georgia Turned Purple and Broke the Monopoly on Republican Power.”

Trump pointed out that Loeffler could be a “star” one day, but pivoted back to Kemp’s spotty level of communication.

“I haven’t heard a lot from you — is your mind made up?” he asked Kemp during the discussion.

The governor was honest with Trump and said that Loeffler was his pick to join the Senate.
“In an instant, the mood soured,” Bluestein wrote as he described Trump’s reaction. “Kemp made a tactical error by not giving Trump reason to believe he had input.”

Trump then reportedly needled Kemp about why he decided to fly to Maryland in the first place. …

It’s nice that America’s mental health is in better shape than many, including myself feared.
I’ve still to hear any stories of militia violences, the voter watch in AZ was obnoxious, but didn’t amount to anything.
All seems quiet on the western front and makes for a nice sense of relief when I get up in the morning.

… and this seem to me a pretty descent post 2022 election assessment.

trump “just doesn’t care”, that’s the dynamite he’s got strapped to himself.
