Agreed.Let's be real, there is a better than middling chance that Trump has no earthly clue what documents he brought back to Florida from the White House, and his only desire to keep them derives from a sense of entitlement.
Leaks are usually on purpose, you know that, right?Also, why is the FBI utterly incapable of not leaking information?
Of course.Leaks are usually on purpose, you know that, right?
The FBI can't win on this. When we didn't have enough info, they were hiding. When we get more info, they are leaking irresponsibly. Rock and a hard place.Of course.
And in this instance, it makes the fbi look terrible.
Coming from someone with zero credibility ,that's rich. But go ahead and point out what I said that isn't true except the fact that he was a Trump appointee?You have no credibility.
He was a Jan 6 rally attendee. Is suicide by cop a common theme for those folks? And although he only fired the nail gun, he was also armed with an AR-15 when he entered the building. Which we knew was likely just when we put the various phrases "Jan 6" "deranged" "FBI" together during the process of building a description of him...Predictable idiot bent on suicide by cop... His first overt act was to fire a nail gun at the HQ... 🙄
Not exactly anyone's idea of the second coming of Patrick Henry...
You have nothing to fear...
I did get a kick out of MSNBC framing it as a serious attack on the FBI 🤣
Seriously goat? Garland was on tv literally hours ago railing against those who say his agency is being politicized.The FBI can't win on this. When we didn't have enough info, they were hiding. When we get more info, they are leaking irresponsibly. Rock and a hard place.
I prefer we all just wait to see what happens.
He was on TV because people spent all week demanding he publicly explain himself.Seriously goat? Garland was on tv railing against those who said his agency is being politicized literally hours ago.
I edited.He was on TV because people spent all week demanding he publicly explain himself.
Smart enough to stay out of their way...You ever been shot by a nail gun?
And, to be fair, I'm not saying he did the DOJ any favors with his performance. I'm just pointing out that he was kind of backed into it.I edited.
Is Snoop in jail? She’s the nail gun expert…You ever been shot by a nail gun?
You're pretty dismissive of Ricky Shiffer's actions, which included posting on Trump twitter (Truth Social) in the aftermath of his attack on the FBI...Predictable idiot bent on suicide by cop... His first overt act was to fire a nail gun at the HQ... 🙄

This guy was clearly a nutjob, but there is a direct line from the people who espouse the stolen election conspiracy nonsense - including many on this forum - and this guy. Enough people claim there is evidence of fraud when there really isn't, and eventually someone tries to shoot up the FBI.You're pretty dismissive of Ricky Shiffer's actions, which included posting on Trump twitter (Truth Social) in the aftermath of his attack on the FBI...
“Well, I thought I had a way through bullet proof glass, and I didn’t. If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I., and it’ll mean either I was taken off the internet, the F.B.I. got me, or they sent the regular cops while,” the account @RickyWShifferJr wrote at 9:29 a.m. ET, shortly after police allege the shooting occurred.
Shiffer posted to Truth Social multiple times in the days after the FBI searched Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida, about wanting to engage in violence. One post called for people to arm themselves and be ready for “combat.”
“We must not tolerate this one,” he wrote.
Shiffer's Truth Social account, which was seen by NBC News on Thursday evening, has since become unavailable.
After another user responded that his photo and information had been forwarded to the FBI, Shiffer’s account responded: “Bring them on.”
More from his TS posting history.
"On May 7, Shiffer’s account replied to a post by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., on Twitter, in which she wrote, “I know they are trying 1984, but I’m feeling 2016 vibes.”
“Congresswoman Greene, they got away with fixing elections in plain sight,” Shiffer’s account wrote. “It’s over. The next step is the one we used in 1775.”

Wonder if he was suicidal before he thought the election was stolen from Trump?Dude... He was suicidal idiot...
Your desire to make him the face of your deepest fears doesn't make much headway with me (or any other Sane person)...
To me the statement '' laughing in his face'' is when two leaders meet and shake hands and sit down implies the other leader literally laughs in his face standing face to face. So you be you
Maybe he met you?Wonder if he was suicidal before he thought the election was stolen from Trump?
After the DOJ filed a motion to do just that? That's not a thickening plot. That's just Trump positioning himself yet again for his gullible fans.
You’ve had a lot of bad takes here, but in all seriousness, this is likely the worst.This guy was clearly a nutjob, but there is a direct line from the people who espouse the stolen election conspiracy nonsense - including many on this forum - and this guy. Enough people claim there is evidence of fraud when there really isn't, and eventually someone tries to shoot up the FBI.
Everyone here who posted "What about the X votes that came in at 2 AM?" or "What about the change in mail-in procedures?" or "What about D'Souza's movie?" All of you are, in a roundabout way, responsible for this man's death.
That Chinese spy was looking for Eric Fartwell😗It's no wonder that a Chinese spy was nosing around Maralogo a few years ago. I'm so glad Trump put a better padlock on that room he was storing the boxes back in June.
If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Trump have the option to object to their release?After the DOJ filed a motion to do just that? That's not a thickening plot. That's just Trump positioning himself yet again for his gullible fans.
So you’re CERTAIN there was no rule or order in place preventing release and requiring motions?Trump could have released the warrant documents himself the day they were served. Talk about some beautiful obfuscation.
What’s worse, shot by a nail gun or nailed by a shotgun?You ever been shot by a nail gun?
I suppose but it still doesn't mean anything. He's trying to imply DOJ doesn't want them public.If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Trump have the option to object to their release?
Was there a protective order in the file? Any rule of ethics Prohibiting public statements?If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Trump have the option to object to their release?
There were foia requests from the moment this became known so this was probably gonna come out regardless of what either party did.I suppose but it still doesn't mean anything. He's trying to imply DOJ doesn't want them public.
I am no FOIA expert, but I doubt it applies to sealed search warrants and supporting affidavits.There were foia requests from the moment this became known so this was probably gonna come out regardless of what either party did.
Trump’s followers are the smartest people on planet earth. They know he could’ve released them. They knows he’s pretending that they don’t know that. They’re all good with it whatever he does. He’s the second cumming.Trump could have released the warrant documents himself the day they were served. Talk about some beautiful obfuscation.
So you’re CERTAIN there was no rule or order in place preventing release and requiring motions?
Or are we still guessing and destroying the national fabric for sport?
Do you believe in Russian pee videos too?
Careful. That Thoughtcrime is insidious. It just sneaks up on you.
It depends, but Correct. Courts order confidentiality all the time. Enter “protective” orders. Enter “no contact” orders. All kinds of things. For all kinds of reasons. Routine. They order lots of things that politicized dupes don’t know about or understand.So a target of a warrant cannot publicly release a sealed warrant? That would seem... very odd. Garland even said something along the lines of "that is his right" when referring to Trump publicly announcing the execution of the warrant.
The WSJ and others have reported that they have been requesting the warrant, etc.... but Trump's lawyers have refused to release it to them.
You're telling me the court can both order a search warrant and at the same time instruct the target that they cannot publicy release it?
I kind of doubt there is going to be any kind of bombshell information in it, but whatever.

Yeah, look at the “real men” on here who respond to her with nothing but verbal attacks. They are obviously not used to being talked back to (or talked to at all, for that matter) by women.Man, Zeke really has the touch to get under the skin of these guys!
Metaphorically speaking, my impression is that these guys use the water cooler as their substitute outhouse whereas Zeke practices proper civil hygiene.Yeah, look at the “real men” on here who respond to her with nothing but verbal attacks.

There is one known fact here - the FBI conducted a search pursuant to a warrant. That’s it. Everything else is speculation.
Show me the affidavit of probable cause and the warrant. Nothing else matters. It’s all BS.
Which means Garland is a political whore playing political gamesI don't think there is any expectation that the sworn affidavit will ever be public....
