BRKG Trump’s home being raided by the FBI (OP Aug 2022}

I give up.
It would be incredibly interesting if a few reps suddenly realized how exposed they are by the raid, and decide to now vote against the fake anti-inflation bill. The FBI just made it abundantly clear that it will do the political bully work of the administration, I certainly wouldn't want to sign off on a further weponization of the administrative state.

Didn't it already pass the Senate a couple of days ago?

This post is so big I haven't read it all, but was wondering if Trump has some papers that would "drain the swamp" and send some of the elite to prison.
Not likely. All Presidents have papers they take with them for their libraries, etc. They de-classify them as they take them.

What happened here is someone had the idea to claim he took classified papers and that could prevent him from running if charged. Thus the raid. They are going to claim forever that he took papers that were classified and thus is no longer able to run for any office.

They do miss the fact that as President, anything he says is unclassified, so by definition he committed no crime, but that will not stop him.

If this is accurate, the CoI exposure is massive. The cabal really did step full-on onto their collective d*ck, then did a Mexican hat dance.

Judge Rules House Dems Can Get Some of Trump’s Tax Records From Accounting Firm

“The Chairman of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means filed a statutory request for documents from the Department of the Treasury related to then-President Donald J. Trump and related entities,” the court related as background. “Treasury initially objected to the request, and the Committee filed this lawsuit. After a change of administrations, Treasury acquiesced, stating that it intended to comply with the request. In the meantime, the Trump Parties intervened in the action. The district court ruled in favor of the Committee. Intervenors appeal. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.”

“As a general rule, Title 26, Section 6103 of the United States Code makes tax returns and return information confidential unless their release is authorized by an exception enumerated in that same section,” the court’s majority opinion held. “26 U.S.C. § 6103(a). Section 6103 includes a number of exceptions to the general rule of confidentiality but only one is at issue here. Section 6103(f)(1)provides that upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives . . . the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request . . . . 26 U.S.C. § 6103(f)(1). At bottom, this case simmers down to the constitutionality and application of § 6103(f)(1). Operating separately from § 6103(f)(1), IRS regulations give the President’s tax returns special consideration.”

Listening to some armchair quarterbacking both in and out of the news media, there seems to be an issue of WHO signed off on the warrant. A federal magistrate rather than the more appropriate regular federal judge. It is all technicalities maybe but if they are caught out on procedural mistakes, and enough can be piled on, someone is going to look really, really bad for this. Here's hoping they cause enough problems to force Wray to resign. Of course, hope is not a plan ... but it is a start.
