The AG MUST get hold to this latest search at Mar-a-logo NOW! He must go on TV and explain

the process. The FBI director who made the decision was a Trump appointee and not a Democrat. The documents might have contained security info that could endanger the lives of our Intel community at home and abroad and that Trump has been too close to autocratic leaders like (name them including Putin) that could have compromised our military defenses across the globe.

Threats by the GOP are boarding on criminal intent.

1. Remember when Valerie Plame was "outed" by Karl Rove and columnist, Robert Novak?

This is much much bigger.

She was one operative. Trump could have had a network of CIA personnel in different countries (among other things).

6. We may never know how many CIA agents Trump outed.

Putin had to want this kind of info from Trump.

And Putin we know Putin was using carrot and stick to manipulate Trump.

Putin helped install Trump into the WH.
Trump owed him Putin big time.

14. Armitage told Novak in an interview.

Novak reported it but wouldn’t provide his source. Who it was that said Plame’s name was revealed later but Fritz determined there was no malicious intent and it was dropped. For some reason he went after Libby instead, which never added up. Libby was pardoned.

2. The problem is that republican oligarchs control the levers of the media.

The Boards of Directors are all oligarchs.

Democrats have to put millions of people into the streets to ever get any message out.

8. No; some of the material is too classified to even describe.

It will all come out eventually... over the next weeks, months, years, decades.

11. If you think we'll get an immediate explanation from the FBI to the public,

... you're dreaming. ESPECIALLY if this involves national security.

Let's imagine for a minute that the orange motherfucker took classified documents to sell to the highest bidder. The FBI and CIA are going to have to pin down exactly what that information entails and who it may have been sold to, and how far that went in THAT government.

Do you think this is a quick task?

13. Nah, Garland doesn't need to do anything.

This raid didn’t occur without Garland’s direct knowledge and authorization.

Nothing more needs to be said publicly until indictments are issued.

Fuck the media.
