Turns out that Trump signed a bill which increased the penalty for removal of classified documents in 2018

ets better than that this was done after stuff was leaked on the investigation into Trump’s Russia links

He's getting so much sympathy that this may be looked back on as the moment which won him the 2024 nomination. Republicans who were turned off by the Jan 6 hearings are now flocking back to him. Nice one FBI. It's reminiscent of when Comey put him in the White House in 2016 by stirring up shit about Hillary days before the election. There is no logic to any of this. The beacon of democracy is a madhouse.

irony is lost amongst these people

Trump pled the 5th today saying "Under the advice of my counsel and for all of the above reasons, I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the US Constitution.”

As ever, he's changed his tune.

Fair play, now that the Trump admin is no longer in office, the 5th is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting for these guys...

he's getting sympathy in the rightwing ecosystem, but this isn't about the rightwing ecosystem. like any good prosecutor garland won't want to act before being very sure that he can win the case, the "case" here being not a trial but a reasonable belief that something big is up, and it is, as trump has purloined documents that belong to the federal government. and it beggars belief that garland would have done this without informing biden ahead of time, so let's say that biden gave the green light, which is going to be imputed to him whether he did or not. THAT's what's important, that biden stuck a shiv into trump. it almost doesn't matter if nothing comes of it (trump, remember, likes to threaten to sue people all the time without actually doing it, and gets lots of love for doing so: "he fights".).

i, at least, see this as elemental testosterone-y politics: inflation here is coming down, the overall employment/wage situation is improving (don't ask me to defend this, i'm speaking major-media speak), mid-term elections are coming up, biden (and garland) have just been seen to have cunted trump, and fuck the rightwingers, who are left to stew on message boards. THAT's what matters.

and the dow went up 530 points today and trump took the 5th in NYS court. suddenly the GOPpers don;t look like such tough guys.

a brilliant move here on biden's part.

So the White House is lying when they said they had no idea? That's not too hard to credit.
OTOH, plausible deniability used to work in the old days - 'You do what you have to do, I don't want to know the details...'
But even if Garland has cast iron proof, what good is that going to do when the base have their own truth because they believe in it hard enough?
Watching from the other side of the pond hardly daring to believe it will turn out well. Because it could all turn out so appallingly badly.

better an armed insurrection now than when republicans are back in power though

a fair point, but - and i want to emphasize this - in an atmosphere of constant violent threat, biden won and trump lost a record vote in 2020. the rightwingers know this implicitly: archive.ph . what i'm trying to say is that there has aready been bloodshed but that's not enough put trump in office again (I’m Sorry, But He’s Running).

crikey i hope im right abot that. and it does nothing to address the lives lost and a thing i've mentioned here before, a constant sense of threat just walkig around every day, which is trump's real legacy.

Exclusive: An informer told the FBI what documents Trump was hiding, and where

The FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago was carried out while Donald Trump was absent in the hope it would be low-profile. The plan was a "spectacular" failure.

Of course the above may be plausible deniability.
