Eric Trump saying he knows Biden is behind this because that's how the White House worked when he was there is next level amazing.

I agree with this 100%. When you look at people who were wrongfully convicted, one thing many of them have in common is that they talked to the police when they should've remained silent.

Newsweek has a report out that an informant told the DOJ what Trump was still hiding and where. Trump hates "snitches"

I was talking to my wife, and I realized that Trump's re-emergence onto the front page has drastically increased my stress level in a noticeable way.
One the one hand, the biggest threat to America to ever exist should increase your stress level when you are reminded of him. On the other hand, MAGA apparently lives in my head rent-free. Sigh. |

Yeah a lot of "Twitter screaming" right now about how CNN, NY Times, and others are talking about Republican talking points rather than what really happened/what it means for Trump.
Also saw a report that months ago the DOJ subpoenaed and got surveilence cameras from Mir-A-Lago.

Don't know if anyone listened to Mark Halpern. He has a site called wide world of news. He has a totally different take. He thinks that the DOJ was frustrated by the lack of cooperation and this is going to turn out to be a nothingburger, thus helping trump. Apparently a source close to trump says he is elated by these developments because he is aware of the political gains from it.

Let me play counter point on this, because in general I agree with you. Don't most people that get wrongly convicted by talking to police not have a lawyer present when in the interview? Are any of them trying to become President, or any elected office really? I think that is wise advice if you are Joe Blow and get pulled in to be asked questions. If you a political figure who really needs to look innocent? Not so much. If you can't answer questions with your very high-priced lawyer present without self-incrimination, then you probably did something wrong.

I guess all of the complaints about harassing judges are canceled now. Fox, in particular, looks like they are trying to get the magistrate judge killed.

I don't think they care whether the judge is attacked or not. They mostly want to scare other judges from doing the same thing.

From an online article I read: Eric Trump has been affiliated with exactly one (1) White House: his dad’s. So he appears to be arguing that based on this experience, he’s certain a president would involve himself in a criminal investigation in connection with a political nemesis. Not the best defense to offer pops in a time of need, Eric. |

So at this point, it feels like education in Florida will be done a la carte. My youngest had his first day of high school yesterday. I did all the consent forms that were required for any discussion about S-E-X last week so I was surprised when all six of his teachers had this statement almost word for word among stuff we had to read and acknowledge. Quote:
So I sent this over to a friend of mind who is a principal of another high school in the area for how his school is handling this because of that word I highlighted. And, yeah it is going about as expected. He responded about 10am today that he has already had about 200 requests to excuse students from different parts of most of the classes including requests from Native Americans who don't want their children subject to the "trauma of early abuse of their ancestors" in history class to requests to removing Shakespeare from the lesson because it was pushing a gay agenda. Also several of the requests were sent to the school on legal letterhead so I guess he has a few parents who are lawyers flexing or parents have already retained legal counsel. I am so thankful my wife is out of this shit show.

I didn't realize American history was taught drastically different based on where you went to school until I was in the Army and talking to a guy from Florida and he was telling me the ridiculous spin his school out on the Civil War and how it wasn't until he was in college that a lot of what he had been taught was corrected. Then I had another guy from South Carolina that swore the South won the Civil War because the union suffered heavier loses. I get states rights and all, but states shouldn't weild enough power to decide historical facts. |

I don’t understand
I thought we already had this debate and it was settled that we were wrong in how interpretations would be different and lawyers would be threatening all of the time these teachers and then that it’ll evolve into danger. Contrition and apologies still hasn’t left the drive way though. It must be a Tesla because I can’t hear the engine from here but when it arrives I’ll try not to say I told you so.

It would be nice if universities would turn around and say "pound sand" when it comes to these families wanting their kids to get into certain schools. Fine, it won't be state schools in the South, but there are a lot of others. I mean, if you're not open-minded enough to read Shakespeare, GTFO.

I expect that if not from him directly, his Fox News and other buddies/"sources" will assert that he did not have the documents on the inventory list, or to make the DOJ look bad, claim they took other stuff that they didn't inventory. Just a full-out lie about the entire thing.
Or, alternatively, that the documents don't meet the definition of classified (assuming that's at issue).

Good for Garland to stand up to Trump while keeping with DOJ policy not reveal things about an ongoing investigation. And I'm sure Trump will try to fight it being unsealed in every court he can get to, and lose just as he just did in the NY case.

An add: The judge has ordered the Trump camp to say by Friday whether they will oppose unsealing the warrant. So it could end by Friday if Trump camp chooses. My guess is if they wanted it out they would have already released it.
