Bull Shit. You may have taken that stance but that was not the sentiment of the majority of the left leaning posters on this board and you provide the evidence for that in your post. Aloha was having to explain why it was a B.F.D. precisely because so many were claiming it was not.
If we ever have someone in office as openly corrupt as Trump, I’ll be happy to see the chips fall where they may. No matter what party they are in.It was Trump himself and his lawyers. The GSA packed up those boxes and shipped them to Trump. They are disagreeing as to what should be his and what should be turned over. The government sent people out to Mar-a-Lago in June to meet with Trump's lawyers. They were shown the boxes in the basement. They requested that a padlock be put on the door to the location and nothing moved. That was complied with.
Less than 2 months later the FBI is showing up to rifle through panty drawers and cut the locks off the rooms the DOJ investigators had asked to be locked.
I know, a bunch of you think Trump is the worstest thing ever and that these are special circumstances but all of this looks like a bull shit political stunt that has never been done before to about half the country. I just want people to remember back to these threads when fishing expeditions are done in retaliation.
Backatcha bullshit machine. There are certain highly vocal people on both sides of the aisle here at the water cooler who the majority don’t take very seriously. You’re focusing on those lefties who I might even have on ignore. That doesn’t make up the majority of the people on the left.
You have one now. That's the thing, you think you get to pick and choose what you think is corrupt. Guess what, when the other side gets in power they won't care about your opinion. They have a whole bunch of people like you on their side who wil be itching for revenge too.
And when those names are provided and you move the goalposts again? No thank you. It is a fool's errand to try and please a dishonest fool in this way. So with that, good day sir.
Pretty incredible if this is actually how it went down. I didn’t think it was possible, but the longer they go without saying anything at all, the less certain I become.It was Trump himself and his lawyers. The GSA packed up those boxes and shipped them to Trump. They are disagreeing as to what should be his and what should be turned over. The government sent people out to Mar-a-Lago in June to meet with Trump's lawyers. They were shown the boxes in the basement.

That cat is out of the bag. A precedent was already set. Trump should get exactly the punishment that Hillary got.
Lol lame game James.
Typically men and women do not laugh directly in the face of senile old men or women it is courtesy. If you don't think world leaders are foaming at the mouth to take advantage of a sitting President who might have issues spelling his name you have obviously drank too much.
The problem with this lame argument you keep asserting is that I don’t have anything against George Bush, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, you name them. There’s only one president who has sucked so bad as Trump in terms of being disrespectful of the Office, disrespectful of The duties of the president, disrespectful of our allies, disrespectful of the free press, and so forth. I have no idea if there have been presidents in the distant past who have been so criminally egregious because I don’t study presidential history that well but no one that I know of.
Why? Matt Taibi has an article that is behind his pay wall that basically said that this is playing out like these have almost always played out because they are intended to be political stories.
I said it 5 years ago and I still believe it: I think it is VERY likely that Hillary, by destroying those 30,000 emails, destroyed evidence that kept her out of jail. I also think that action is the largest contributing factor for Trump winning the 2016 election (It is the one definitive thing he could point to and say "See, this is why she can not be trusted").
Criminal investigations aren't conducted in public. Trump - - not the FBI, not the Justice Department - - went public with this.
LOLOLOLOL
So you think Trump should be able to run again and let the chips fall where they may (that is what "happened" to Clinton)?
That’s nonsense. Comparing Trump corruption with anyone in recent history just doesn’t work. He was proudly corrupt as was much of his administration. He’d been taught his entire life he could get away with anything and he’s lived that way. And there are still people enabling him to live that way. It’s sad.
They're not conducted in public, other than when the Leftists want them to be conducted in public through leaks, which happens all the time. When it's time to answer for their corruption, the FBI & DOJ clam up tighter than a nun's.....
They did it with Trump, didn’t they? Stop with the senile nonsense. It’s ignorant.
Far too vague. Which "both things?"
Right. They were very quiet about Hillary investigation, right? It was the Trump investigation we didn’t know about in 2016. As he was loudly pronouncing they no one under investigation should be allowed to run.
Sure. There have been some notable exceptions. Like when that leftist FBI Director James Comey announced 11 days before the Nov 2016 presidential election that he was reopening the investigation into conservative Hillary Clinton.
You requesting serious discussion on this board is a joke, Zeke. When’s the last time you provided data? Answered a question asked of you in good faith?
To quote my old pal JB...
Your post reminds of something else.It was Trump himself and his lawyers. The GSA packed up those boxes and shipped them to Trump. They are disagreeing as to what should be his and what should be turned over. The government sent people out to Mar-a-Lago in June to meet with Trump's lawyers. They were shown the boxes in the basement. They requested that a padlock be put on the door to the location and nothing moved. That was complied with.

Absolutely. Despite the first 18 months being a disaster for Joe / Democrats, I think Trump has no shot at winning the general in 2024. He already lost in 2020 and his actions since that time have not improved his position / opinion among voters. This latest item will just be another log on the fire of things that can be thrown in his face to prove that.
So Trump has repeatedly claimed that mishandling classified documents (with relation to HRC) was a crime.

For starters Zeke has been blasting her sh*t long before this was what I was referring to .So Trump has repeatedly claimed that mishandling classified documents (with relation to HRC) was a crime.
Need a refresher?
So that compilation was posted 5 months ago, when his original theft of classified documents was made public and he returned 15 boxes to the National Archives. His hypocrisy was on full display at that time...
Now we have learned that the reason the FBI knew he still had more and was brazenly attempting to keep them, was that someone within his inner circle ratted him out and told the FBI what he was hiding and where...The speculation on who that was will be interesting to watch and will undoubtedly reveal a significant degree of paranoia from within Trump world...
Mulvaney: Mar-a-Lago informant would have to be ‘really close’ to Trump
Mulvaney said on Thursday that a potential informer would have to know where Trump was storing documents at Mar-a-Lago.
But since you seem confused over "criminal activity", are you now claiming that Trump was lying, or at the very least confused when he declared that Clinton engaged in "calculated, deliberate, premeditated misconduct" and that it was a crime?
You don't think that deliberately refusing to return classified documents once you have been directed to do so falls under Trump's own definition? I mean how can you accept Trump's definition of "criminal activity" and then attempt to absolve him for engaging in the very conduct he's previously condemned?
Your definition of humanity is different than mine! Trump did nothing to hurt humanity ! He also had a common sense approach to climate change!
Republicans actually may have reason to like the way Hillary's investigation was handled.
We know that the judge who signed the warrant was a Trump appointee, and that he has requested the warrant be unsealed by Aug 15. We also know that the reason the FBI was made aware of additional documents not being willingly returned was that someone in Trump's inner circle turned informer. The fact that someone was privy to the knowledge of what had been kept and informed the FBI of it after the Archives had previously picked up 15 boxes, basically blows a hole in any claim that Trump was unaware of the fact that he was committing an unlawful act.
