Did Trump spill the beans on himself?

The FBI were attempting to be discreet about seizing the documents at Mar-a-lago. They did it when no one was home and did not go in very early in the morning. They even covered up the logos on their jackets by wearing different jackets. They were going to keep it quiet.

But one guy, Donald Trump, could not keep it quiet. He was immediately on social media telling the world that his home was under siege and was being ransacked. He said, "They even broke into my safe!" Hmmmm....

Chances are that we would not even know about the search today if Trump had not opened his big powdery donut mouth?

The FBI was primarily interested in seizing the documents and putting them back into their proper place but it looks like Trump spilled the beans? Now, even some Republicans are starting to question his motives.

The best way to fight Trump and his Cult, with their lies, propaganda, and crimes...

...is with the law.

Not with investigations alone, but with charges and indictments and convictions.

But it has to be done in a more aggressive manner.

It is understandable that people want to make sure they can get a conviction before they indict Donald Trump, but that is not the case with all his associates who have carried his water and lied for him and covered up his crimes.

In my opinion, the Georgia trial should start soon and some of these people should be charged with election fraud. Just because it didn't work does not mean they are not guilty. They tried very hard.

The "fake electors" should have to answer for their attempt to defraud the voters. They should have to explain it in front of a jury.

The point is that you cannot leave these people alone with their devices of lies and deceit. They must be challenged. The best weapon that the people have against this enemy of democracy is the rule of law. But it has to be used and much more aggressively.

In my opinion, Trump's lawyers should have to explain why they lied for him and covered up his crimes against our nation.

Liz Cheney is preparing for defeat in her House race.

I just heard some reporter on MSNBC say this in his report.

Just a few months ago, she was the rising star in Wyoming politics. She was third in power for the Republicans in the House.

Then, she voted to impeach Trump for trying to overthrow the government. And it's been downhill for her since that time.

Wyoming never believed any of that stuff they say on Fake News. After all, they supported Mr Trump by a large margin and they are not the type of people to change their opinion on a whim.

So they never forgave Liz Cheney for going after their guy in the J6 Committee hearings. She was like the leader.

And now, she is preparing to lose and with no announced plans for the future. Will she run as an independent? Will she seek higher office? Perhaps the Presidency?

She is paying a high price in Wyoming for standing up for principle and the Constitution.

I always thought the people in Wyoming were smarter.

Republicans call for dismantling of the Congress.

It is much like the FBI. It serves no purpose anymore.

Also, they call for a vote by Republicans only to make Donald Trump the President for life, because he was ripped off the last election. Democrats cannot be trusted so their votes will not count. They will be thrown out.

They call for the dismantling of the present fascist state and the creation of a new democratic society with rules by Trump.

Furthermore, they are calling for every American to carry some sort of firearm for their personal protection if they are in the public. They can choose whatever weapon they wish to carry.

They are supporting the death penalty for all those that oppose Dear Leader. A functioning society cannot permit dissent on the level we have seen in the past. Republicans support law and order. The lies have to cease.

Also, Republicans are calling for re-education camps on the outskirts of all big cities so the American people can be de-programmed from the Fake News and the propaganda that has poisoned their minds over the last several years.

Republicans call for all races, not white, to return to the country of their origins. That is the only way to return America to the great country it once was.

Why the "lawyer" should be taken into custody?

It is being reported that when the documents at MAL were turned over to the FBI, Trump's lawyer turned them over and said that there were no more documents. It was a serious lie and criminal offense. It was a blatant obstruction of justice.

Especially considering that there were still 20 boxes of documents still there and some of them were marked at the highest level of security. She signed off on the documents. She accepted responsibility.

Every law-abiding citizen in this country would like Donald Trump to be held accountable for his crime, but before that can happen, every person that supports him, props him up, covers for him, and lies for him, must be held accountable.

That is why his lawyer should be taken into custody immediately. A charge of obstruction of justice in a matter such as this can bring up to 20 years in prison. It is a heavier penalty than that for espionage.

The DOJ should send a message. There is a penalty for covering up the crimes of Donald Trump. She should be arrested immediately. This crime has grown into an emergency situation. The DOJ should treat it like an emergency, in my opinion.

Sometimes it is difficult, almost impossible, to accept certain realities.

Many Americans are having difficulty accepting a reality at this time. It is that Donald Trump is a threat to our country. He is a national security risk. Is there really any doubt?

He stole national secrets. He stole information that might threaten you and your family. Does it really matter? Does the law matter? Does anything matter other than your Leader and your Party?

Today, Trump is calling the search warrant on his home a "scam". A "witch hunt". Where have we heard that before?

No one wants to think the worst. But it is worse than the worst. And many cannot accept that reality.

There are things going on that you don't know.

He did not steal those documents by accident. He personally chose what he wanted in those boxes. And when the National Archives noticed they were missing, the FBI went down to retrieve them. They got 15 boxes and were told that was all of them. There were no more classified documents. Once again, they lied. Trump had 20 more boxes stashed in his basement. He must have had a purpose for them, to lie to the FBI?

"Someone" informed the DOJ that there were more documents at Mar-a-Lago. The FBI sent a team down to check it out. They found the boxes in a room in the basement with no lock on the door. Totally unsecured. They requested that Trump put a lock on the door.

After 60 days, when they were unable to get Trump to release the documents, they got a search warrant from a federal judge and went into Mar-a-lago to seize them. And what they found shocked everyone except the Trump supporters. It did not seem to matter to them?

Obviously, they do not care. But the law cannot wait for them to "care" or for them to be persuaded that there is a threat to our nation. They must act without their consent and without what they might say to a pollster. The FBI is required to protect our nation - not Donald Trump and certainly not his deluded followers.

Trump supporters remind me of the "horse's tail" story by Abe Lincoln.

They are a cult. They believe their Leader would never lie, cheat, or steal, and he certainly would not commit espionage against the country he loves. No amount of evidence will convince them otherwise. Are they gullible?

But, Abe was having a discussion with a gentleman and Abe asked him, "If we call that horse's tail a leg, how many legs would that horse have?"

The gentleman replied, "If we call it's tail a leg, it would have 5 legs".

"No", Abe said. "Calling a horse's tail a leg does not make it so".

These folks in the Cult say some of the wildest and craziest sh*t you have ever heard. And they believe it. It doesn't matter if they can be proven wrong. It doesn't matter what argument is made. They believe whatever is necessary to remain in good standing with their Cult Leader.

If the Trump Cult had lived in Germany in 1932, who would they have supported?

I think we can guess.

I'm sure their guy could have done no wrong.

He would have made them proud.

They would have had big posters with his likeness.

Their huge flags would have shouted their loyalty.

What else would they have supported?

"Trump was very secretive about the packing of boxes that were retrieved from Mar-a-Lago..."

This article is from the WashPost of February 10th, 2022, after the first 15 boxes of documents were removed from Mar-a-Lago.
========================================

(snip)
It is not precisely clear who packed up the classified materials at Mar-a-Lago, or how they got there in the first place. Trump was very secretive about the packing of boxes that were retrieved from Mar-a-Lago last month, and did not let other aides — including some of his most senior advisers — look at them, according to people close to him.

During his time in the White House, Trump often took official documents with him to his residence to review, accruing piles of records over time, according to people familiar with Trump’s record-keeping practices.

Although that is not in itself necessarily unusual, the documents would pile up. One White House staffer said it became a problem that eventually led records staff to search for materials in classified burn bags, which are used to dispose of documents.

“For all the things written about him that he didn’t read, he often would take things with him to the residence or bring things down with him,” said a second Trump White House official. “But I don’t know that that is out of the ordinary.”
