You might be right about that. But I have to think that if Trump made that argument, the counter argument would be to ask what evidence is there of that decision? Were the documents re-labeled to denote their unclassified status? If not, why should anyone believe you when saying now the...

Trump Pleads the Fifth https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/deriding-plead-fifth-trump-pleads-fifth-rcna42460

Not 15, as in the 15 boxes previously returned. The most accurate number I have seen so far regarding the other boxes in question, as in those seized by the FBI this week, is "around 12." "A lawyer for former President Donald Trump said FBI agents took around 12 boxes from his Florida...

Presumably on Trump's orders, improperly given.

Correct. That's why you're seeing a number of Republicans resign from their party and some of those taking an interest in the new Forward Party.

Intentional Ignorance, a Poor Life Strategy Above, I said a certain example of intentional ignorance was sad to see. Allow me to further explain the "sad to see" part. It's sad to see because intentional ignorance is a poor life strategy. While it has certain internal benefits to the person who...

Intentionally ignorant he remains. Sad to see.

The box facts are not hard to know or determine. Unless someone wants to remain intentionally ignorant of the truth, it is not difficult to get this right. In Jan, 2022, 15 boxes that had been taken from the White House and improperly brought to Mar-a-Lago were returned by Trump's people to the...

How do you know they went judge shopping and why did you think that was illegal?

What you say is absolutely correct. Within the confines of the shrinking Republican Party and their closed primary system, MAGA people have near full control. And they are using that control to advance election deniers and Trump loyalists to the upcoming general election. It is also true...

There is always hope.

Trump Attorneys Were Present During Mar-a-Lago Search Above, some of us talked about Trump attorneys not being present during the Mar-a-Lago search. I assumed (incorrectly, it turns out) none were there because Trump was not there. Others said it was bad that the search occurred when Trump and...

The Accurate Box Count is Now Available Yesterday a Trump lawyer said the FBI seized "about a dozen" boxes when a search warrant was executed at Mar-a-Lago. So we now have that number. That wasn't so hard, was it? When you don't know a detail, you don't need to make something up. Simply wait...

I'd agree if there was evidence Biden took classified papers and other government documents home that the law says should not have been brought home.

Yes, lots of right wing people are saying the search is an outrage, but I'm not sure the Trump supporters are even more ticked off. When the Supreme Court revoked Roe v. Wade, people who want that right back took to the streets to protest, and in Kansas took to the polls in landslide numbers to...

So far, the only information about the safe I have seen is from Eric Trump on Fox who said it was new and empty. That is not a credible source. Other reports say someone on the inside directed DOJ to that safe. That too is not credible without confirmation. With no good info about the safe...

Sadly, that seems to be the case.

The Mar-a-Lago search story is a real attention grabber for me because it is unprecedented. That word, "unprecedented," rose a lot when Trump started his run for public office and it continues to rise today. Indeed, many unprecedented things have happened regarding Trump. But never before has...

If Trump got a new safe that was found to be empty, what happened to the old one and what was in it?

Disqualification Not In this opinion piece regarding the Mar-a-Lago search, the author writes: "One of the potential law violations, under Section 2071 of the federal penal code, includes in its penalty provisions that, upon conviction, a defendant “shall forfeit his office and be...
