AG Merrick Garland will be issuing a statement at 2:30pm today.

a reply to: Guyfriday

This whole thing stinks. Not buying what they are selling. Garland is the guy who was shot down for SCOTUS by the republicans not wanting to take it up. Tell me he doesn't have any resentments or an ax to grind. No bias to see here folks.

So Prez says he didn't know this was happening?

Oh, he knows, he uses his special phone with Garland.

In any criminal case, there has to be Criminal Discovery.

Which means that the defense has all the same information as the prosecution.



I wonder if that has occurred.

I only ask because Team Trump seems confident.


Team Biden seems like they're sucking giant lemons.

That have been pee's on.

By Russian hookers.

I think they have decided to use the January 6th panel to do the legal work, so there will be no discovery, rebuttal, defense witnesses, or anything of the sort. He's guilty already, they are just trying to find the right crime to attach to him. We should know something on the next Prime Time series.

Yep, so when a republican is in office and he wants to remake the FBI in his image, he can do that, and start raiding his political opponents. Because of, you know, that P thing.

Yikes the paperwork to unseal is signed by the attorney of course and JAY I. BRATT CHIEF
Counterintelligence and Export Control
Section
National Security Division

Hmm, and 2 billion to Jared from the Saudis. Just saying.

If the DOJ had the proper charges to justify the unprecedented raid on a former President’s home and possible 2024 Presidential opponent than Garland would have at the very least offered to tell the American people that he planned to indicate the president in short order. What he gave us is a "Trust us, the wheels of justice move slowly". The clasic response from authoritarian governments around the world.


I don't subscribe to the theory that the Democrats of today are an authoritarian government; but they are opening that door and freely walking through it. This lastest action by Biden's DOJ shows how tone deff they are and how they plan to stop at nothing to hold onto power.

These are not the Democrats of yesteryear; and I have never been more disappointed in them.

I'm thinking this is why they had to get out in front of it a little bit, well if they are the Onion or the Babylon Bee

LOL, that's why they raided Trump's home? Got a link?

I don't know what will be said, I do know that whatever IS said will be untrue.

Because there is no way you could know unless you were directly complicit in any actions, then I must reasonably take your assumption "with a grain of salt".

You can take a look at the unseal request. The 2nd footnote citing notes in relation to "pre-indictment" stage.

Seems likely that they would want to review the documents they obtained with the other evidence gathered, before he would be indicted. Every duck needs to be in its row to move forward. They will have to have rock solid evidence knowing that even then it will be rejected by the "I don't care what he does and nothing will ever be enough proof" crowd around here.

The classic response from authoritarian governments is to follow proper legal protocols instead of treating political opponents differently? You seem to have things completely backwards. Actual authoritarianism is using your campaign platform to denounce a political opponent as already being a criminal who "will" be sent to prison despite no trial occurring and thereby gaslighting one's followers into thinking it normal to subvert the legal process (but only for the other team, dear leader is immune from the law).
Of course Trump never intended to actually go after Clinton since they are personal friends and play for the same team, the wealthy oligarchy. Objective complete though: now the followers of the party of "law and order" don't mind doing away with the law both when going after opponents and when defending the puppets they adore.

Garland is a thug just like the rest of them, and incompetent at that.

You don't issue a search warrant for a former president.

Where in the constitution or legal code does it say that?
Of course if the DoJ isn't allowed to investigate the potential opponent of a currently elected president, then that must mean all future DoJs must be barred from investigating any potential political opponents of any future presidents as well. The only way this standard makes sense is if every time the presidency flips, the other party becomes immune. By that sort of logic, Trump would never be allowed to let the DoJ investigate Clinton, Biden, etc.
Or can the Trump cultists just admit that they want a legal double standard?

Is this really the kind of articles y'all get your news from? If so, you'd really love reading Weekly World News...

Seriously, man, this stuff is right up your alley, and you people believe anything.

No different than the "I care about everything he does and I don't need any proof" crowd.

"Garland clarifies that serious allegations are involved, because otherwise these means would not be resorted to. At the same time, he emphasizes that it would be the good right of the suspect to publish the content of the raid, which he has in writing. The judiciary must not and will not do that."

and where is the scandal here? this seems to me to be a common procedure - if the police are looking for drugs at your place, they will take everything apart if necessary. and here it was probably about highly sensitive government documents. in other countries, the front door would have been blown up with a grenade.

trump would have made a pretty cool james bond villain, by the way.
why doesn't he just release this warrant?
