I would't credit him with that much vision, and I'm sure even his most sycophantic advisors would have refused to let him take the insane legal and PR risk that would come along with that. Occam's razor said he took them out of spite and petulance and held on to them because he thought he was immune to the consequences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can faithfully rely on Trump to do one thing and one thing consistently, monetize whatever he can get his hands on. Even the "FBI Raid" is already being used for fundraising purposes. Why do you think he was (other than a local reporter) the first one to announce it? And when it comes to Trump, I am not sure he understands words like spite and petulance, but he certainly understands money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evidence to date indicates they are after information about J6; the committee was after his and Clarks testimony. I don't doubt 12 year olds in every R congress critters house is patiently explaining how to delete the stuff you think you just deleted from your phone.

obelixtim 150 #659 August 10, 2022 (edited) That was good of Trump to own up about owning the safe. If evidence of crime was found inside it, ownership and responsibility is something the prosecutor won't have to prove in court. Yet another example of mouthing off too much. I bet his lawyers just love him. Dumb arse. Edited August 10, 2022 by obelixtim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking about conservative principals. trump has had allot to say about the fifth amendment in the past: “You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” Another time, he said, “Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment. Horrible.” 'Eric Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 500 times during his 2020 deposition, according to a court filing." Today: Former President Donald Trump invokes Fifth Amendment rights and declines to answer questions from NY attorney general So just another American mob family using the law to protect themselves from it. I have it on good authority that trump and his team are preparing a new fundraising e-mail solicitation. He needs to defend himself against this personal attack.

You reckon there is a scintilla of possibility that any of the righties here will have even a single iota of understanding that their self serving R votes, no matter where they live, have contributed to this horrendous, hypocritical insanity, that is rending to shreds our vaunted constitution? Republicans, if you truly care about America, recall this saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Do what is right and step back from relatively petty interests and vote to restore democracy in November. Edited August 10, 2022 by JoeWeber 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be trump appointee, FBI director Christopher Wray who is approving and directing all this. Oh the horror of backstabbing, ungrateful, disloyal people. I love the schadenfreude of it all.
