On Saturday morning, Donald Trump couldn’t quite bring himself to express concern for Paul Pelosi, but he did publish an unintentionally amusing missive to his social media platform, expressing surprise that his Mar-a-Lago scandal still exists:

The greatest Witch Hunt in American History continues on all fronts, even as the Election rages, an unwritten ‘NO NO’ in Law and Politics. The Document Hoax Case I thought was over based on the fact that the documents were declassified, but more importantly based on the history of past Presidents and the way they were treated. The Clinton ‘Socks Case’ is conclusive, the Presidential Record Act is great & easy to understand, & my Fourth Amendment Rights were violated with the Raid on Mar-a-Lago!

It’s not easy to pack this much nonsense into three sentences. In the first sentence, the former president seemed to suggest the ongoing criminal investigation shouldn’t continue during an election season, which is absurd. In the second sentence, the Republican repeated the “declassified” claim that his own lawyers are afraid to endorse because they’re well aware of how foolish it is.

And in the third sentence, Trump made clear that he still doesn’t understand what the “sock drawer” story is all about, while simultaneously raising a Fourth Amendment claim that, again, his own legal team doesn’t dare touch.

As for why the former president felt compelled to express fresh outrage about the Justice Department’s scrutiny, it’s hardly a stretch to think this Washington Post report got his attention.

One of the Justice Department’s most experienced national security prosecutors has joined the team overseeing the intensifying investigation of classified documents at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club, people familiar with the matter said. National security law experts interviewed by The Washington Post say prosecutors appear to have amassed evidence in the case that would meet some of the criteria for bringing charges against the former president — an unprecedented action that they said probably would only happen if the Justice Department believes it has an extremely strong case.

The prosecutor in question is David Raskin, who has reportedly been assisting in the investigation into Trump and his aides...

Yesterday, the former president added on his platform, in apparent reference to Justice Department officials, “[T]hey’ve got nothing.” By all appearances, that might be wishful thinking, but it’s not in line with reality.

1. The former guy keeps saying things in public he doesn't dare say in court

It's just so weird that he doesn't make these arguments in his court filings where he has to tell the truth.

2. Because, his defense is bullshit.

What he tells the rubes and what he actually litigates are two different things....

3. It's fun to point that out to his fanboiz

"Your hero says one thing to you, and something quite different when he's under oath. Why do you suppose that is?"

4. "You got nuttin on me coppers" is what every gangster says in the movies.

5. Beg to differ on the terminology here

This is not a "Mar-A-Lago" scandal, it's a "stolen top secret documents" scandal. And it's of national security significance, not to mention the fact that federal laws were broken.

11. The naming of scandals tends to focus on geographic locaitions

Nixon had to resign mainly due to the coverup of the Watergate break in but the scandal bore the name of the office complex that was broken into. The fact that the name Mar-a-Lago is being used does not distract from the fact that this is a serious crime. I fear that China and other countries got copies of the documents illegally stored at Mar-a-Lago and there are reports that the US has lost agents that may have been described in these documents

6. Guess what? WE are all annoyed that he's not sitting in a jail cell over

his Mar-A-Lago scandal.

7. Yeah! What did he do anyway?!

"The Clinton ‘Socks Case’ is conclusive, the Presidential Record Act is great & easy to understand, & my Fourth Amendment Rights were violated with the Raid on Mar-a-Lago!"

How arrogant is that?

8. and why does he keep bringing up elections?

he's not running for anything.

DOJ isn't suppose to investigate him because it's election season?

He really is touched in the head.

9. I'm annoyed that he hasn't been arrested and indicted for the crimes he's committed.

If what we've seen in the media is accurate, and is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, there's grounds to arrest and hold him without bail. It's frustrating to see even some of the "liberal" media talk like his potential Presidential campaign is a done deal and will go on in spite of his crimes.

It better not.
