I keep waiting and expecting for him to say - - “Okay, that’s it. This is NOT how the process is supposed to work.” Yet he remains stuck in his insistence that a lying FBI, a lying D.o.J., and now a lying White House are all just fine and dandy when it comes to invading the homes of American citizens.

It’s a shame. Because this board could benefit from more independent voices. Not fewer.

This is ALL on you, not him. What he's waiting for here is ANY credible sourcing of your claims.

1. That this process is not normal. Other than this happening to a former president, there's not much of anything at all that is not normal in this type of law enforcement operation. And in all actuality, trump has been afforded WAY more courtesy than Joe Q. Public would have been afforded.

2. That the FBI knowingly lied. About what? And yes, there is probably something they got wrong in this case...for which trump and his legal team has every right to contest in court.

3. That the DOJ knowingly lied. About what? And yes, there is probably something they got wrong in this case...for which trump and his legal team has every right to contest in court.

4. That the White House/Administration lied and/or orchestrated some political scheme. Dude, they ******* found classified documents that belonged to the government!

There is absolutely nothing normal about this. If so, name, one other case where this has happened. One other case where dozens of FBI agents have raided a home for materials they knew they were there after going to the administration to get permission to do so.

Yes, the FBI lied. They lied to the FISA court. They lied about surveilling parents of school kids. They lied about sending informants into churches. They lied about January 6. Don’t tell me for a moment they haven’t lied. They have and because of who they are they only get one chance. And they exposed themselves with that chance.

This is not about Trump! This is about the rule of law in this country. This is about the weaponization of the full power of the government to maintain power of one political party. This is about the government using its unlimited financial weight to break a citizen.

This is a bout, the uneven application of law enforcement. The leader of one party is harassed and publicly, abused, while the leader of the other party is afforded a look in the other direction.

And yes, they have found tons of classified documents at a former senators offices and home garage and are refused entry into other offices with no public show of enforcement or raids. And I’m speaking about Joe Biden here. They know he has all the records yet they failed to demand those. And he was not a president when he took these classified documents.

So don’t try to gaslight all the rest of us and tell us that this is perfectly normal.
