From the Other Perfesser
Posted by William A. Jacobson Monday, August 8, 2022 at 10:27pm 90 My overall sense of what happened at Mar-a-Lago is that this is a provocation. If New York Times reporting is right — and they never err on the side of being soft on Trump — then this raid was over documents the National Archives thinks Trump should not have, or perhaps classified documents in his possession. That is not something the FBI raids major political candidates over — See, In Re Hillary Rodham Clinton. This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. See, In Re J6. It’s also a provocation to get Trump to declare his candidacy for President before the midterms. Democrats would love to turn 2022 into a referendum on Trump rather than the deliberate destruction of the national borders and inflation. Would the FBI and DOJ do such a thing? Aren’t they “above” politics? The then FBI Director James Comey admitted to trying to set up the new President Trump by alerting him to the Steele Dossier, and then leaked the story of the briefing to CNN, which gave license to report on the false allegations in the dossier. So yes, the FBI and DOJ would do such a thing, and have done such a thing to Trump. All the more reason to keep your heads about you. Don’t take the bait. Being stupid isn’t tough, it’s just stupid. — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) August 8, 2022

| #12 Dron - we know all this, and we've been observing. Most of us grew up on the story of Bunker Hill. We're more than ready, just waiting for the whites of their eyes. |

| #11 Doesn't matter. When they don't get the reaction they want, they will stage it. Helloooooo, J6 anyone? |

| #10 1/6 was a half baked stupid little picnic, joined in by some minded folks and fools. Posted by: Dron66046 You were there 66046? Tell us all about it. Shooting will start soon enough. |

| #9 Don’t take the bait. Bullshit. If the American public don't do anything you have no idea how many ways from Sunday you are fcuked. Sorry but that's true. This is classic stasi stuff. It is what we do in India or in the 'Stain. America doesn't want to be another India does it? 1/6 was a half baked stupid little picnic, joined in by some minded folks and fools. What the country needs is a Spring. Do or die. |

| #7 Greg Jarrett today on Kudlow, noted that 18 US Code 2071 limits the legibility for President, a directly defined element of the Constitution. Jarrett said, even US Code, defined by the Congress cannot modify the Constitution without an actual Constitutional Amendment approved by the States, thus nullifying this tactic. |

| #5 They did this on the day that Grassley demanded documents. Hopefully all the disturbance by the FBI did not spoil the vacation of the FBI Director. |

| #4 The end game is stupid. The President can declassify anything they want, so this disqualified to run is based on them finding documents he 'forgot' to declassify or that were mislabeled? That's daft. And if that technicality somehow works it'll push more people onto team Desantes. |

| #3 The "Don't do anything" strategy. Right. Just roll over and enjoy it. Congratulations, you've just signaled them that they can outright steal this November's midterm following that approach. Guess what, you and they are never going to be able to control what ever you call the activists on both sides. |
