Ferrets are Cool

Unless I am badly mistaken, there hasn't been ONE word out of tfg to defuse the

threats against the FBI or other agencies. ANY decent human being would do everything in their power to keep anyone from getting hurt, but not this MF'er. I grew up hearing that "a tiger never changes it's stripes." In his case, it is certainly true.

Trump will stick a fuse in the MAGA bomb and light it. He'll do everything he can to blow up the country and its institutions if he thinks it will save him.

He's in trouble in GA. He's in trouble in NY (civil & criminal) and if there is evidence of how he obstructed justice in those boxes or they have evidence of him peddling secrets, he's toast.

He might see civil war, domestic terrorism and violence as the best path for him personally.

If it gets nasty, you'll see a bunch of the politicians backing him run away like Hawley.

He wants his fascists to overthrow the government and install him so he can steal all our $$ for himself and the rich. That has been his goal since 2015 at least and it still is his driving animus.

On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland made a public statement saying he had personally authorized the decision to seek the search warrant for Mr. Trump’s property, and he indicated that the Justice Department would have made such a move only after trying less invasive measures.

Shortly before Mr. Garland made the announcement, a person close to Mr. Trump reached out to a Justice Department official to pass along a message from the former president to the attorney general. Mr. Trump wanted Mr. Garland to know that he had been checking in with people around the country and found them to be enraged by the search.

The message Mr. Trump wanted conveyed, according to a person familiar with the exchange, was: “The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?”

The following day, as a judge unsealed the warrant and the inventory of items that the F.B.I. took, Mr. Trump alternately claimed he did nothing wrong and also made the baseless statement that officials may have planted evidence at his property during the search.
