Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

1 and 4 are my picks, because I don't think he is smart or clever enough to do 2 or 3 without involving more people than able to keep such an act secret.

There's also the old standby of "he just grabbed jive and didn't know what he took". After all, people had to restore shredded documents he was supposed to retain for the National Records.
However, it probably doesn't look good that he seemed to ignore repeated requests for those documents to the point the FBI had to execute a search warrant, so that kicks it up to intentional obstruction of some sort.

A tweet for everything, as always.

 

[wonko the sane?]

I kinda want his russian handler to drop a tweet that says "you're fired", just as the DOJ moves to arrest him. I would be the sweetest schadenfreude.

Rand Paul calls for repeal of Espionage Act amid DOJ investigation into Trump taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago

The DOJ is investigating if Donald Trump broke the Espionage Act. But Rand Paul, a GOP senator, wants it repealed, he said Saturday.

The GOP will burn this entire country to the ground before they turn on Donald.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

If it was anyone but Trump, I can't help but think he'd have been "disappeared" to a black site and be undergoing "enhanced interrogation" right now for what he did.

But no, he's too stupid to realize the severity of his crimes so he keeps asking for the DoJ to throw a whole library of books at him.

Seems like it would be more effective to submit this request to the FBI in writing. You know, so they'd see it.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Maybe they couldn't find enough crayons for him.

 

[Wheelimus]

He's writing something to the FBI but it's Zodiac Killer style. Takes awhile. lol

Does Ted Cruz even take dictation?

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

The real delay is that he keeps ripping up and flushing his own notes out of habit and having to start over.

 

[Wheelimus]

Does Ted Cruz even take dictation?

I hadn't even considered him including the real Zodiac Killer on the scheme but yeah, Cruz seems to be one of his lapdogs now. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Please tell me they kept his passports to keep him from running to Russia. Pretty please?

Trump Says The FBI Took His Passports In Its Mar-A-Lago Search

"They stole my three Passports (one expired)," said the former president, who is under investigation for keeping classified documents.

Editorial: Why would an ex-president who doesn't read want boxes of documents at his home?

Republicans should be asking lots of questions about former President Donald Trump instead of labeling the FBI search an act of war.

That'd only stop him from taking commercial. Russia could just spirit him away.

Ironbite-though I think Putin considers him a fail asset at this point.

 

[wonko the sane?]

He openly admitted to a crime when he bitched about them taking his government passport. He was supposed to return that jive when biden replaced him.

You know, there tends to be one thread in this subforum I typically save for last as a palate cleanser because it's the one most likely to contain good news. It used to be the Ukraine one, when it looked like they were kicking Russia's ass. Now it's this one, of all things.
