    When Trump left the white house, he (aka his aides) packed up a few boxes and they wound up in Mar A Lago rather than DC (i think the treasury?)where they were supposed to go. Once DC realized this, they requested the boxes from Trump, so he had his people get them to DC. His people missed a few boxes, and as DC was going through the boxes they did receive, they realized there were some confidential papers in the mix that weren't supposed to be in there. Knowing they still had boxes at Mar a Lago is why the FBI got involved and they showed up during normal business hours.

    It's not as exciting as any news Channel would have you believe.

    Um...no. Obama has held onto literal millions of pages of documents for 8 years and refused to turn them over. Documents from the Nixon administration were withheld from the National Archives until 2013. Johnson administration documents were withheld until 2018. Obama administration lawyers blocked requests for access to Clinton administration records as well.

    Furthermore, "normal business hours" don't start at 6am, and why would an FBI team from Washington, DC be needed for this instead of a team from the field office in Miami, as would be appropriate and standard operating procedure? From what I've heard, the Miami office didn't even know about the raid until it was happening.

    And, of course, there's the simple fact that NO former US President has ever been subject to an armed FBI raid of his home. Not even after the Clintons straight-up stole thousands of dollars worth of White House furniture and antiques, not even after Hillary Clinton destroyed over 30,000 emails containing classified information that had been subpoenaed as evidence off of a non-secure server - and then had her staff destroy the hard drive of the server for good measure.

    Nice try, though. Way to carry that water for Shotgun Joe and the DNC!

    By sanctioning the Mar-a-Lago search, Mr. Garland has broken a political norm that has stood for 232 years. He had better have enough evidence to justify it in the end, or he will have unleashed political forces and a legal precedent that Democrats as much as Donald Trump may come to regret.
    That would actually be awesome. I wish it had been Hillary that the status quo had been broken on, but having politicians not implicitly immune from the law going forward is a good thing.

    Eh, my meter is broken this week. 40% of my area was laid off. Luckily(?) I wasn’t, but management messaging has been that I should be grateful to stay.
    Any time management thinks you should be 'grateful' to work for them, it's time to look for a new job because they're about to start treating you like a slave.

    Now the rumor is that they were searching for top secret nuclear documents. Pundits are tweeting that Trump could be executed for that. These people are phukin' crazy. We will probably find that Adam Schiff was the source. They never stop.

    ETA: If they do find said documents, I say they were planted. They will do anything to prevent Trump from running.
