PELOSI on Mar-a-Lago raid:

[kpete]

"I don't really have too much to say except that to have a visit like that, you need a warrant. To have a warrant, you need justification. And that says that no one is above the law, not even a President or former President of the United States."

1. I bet...

There was just a tiny little smile on her face when she said it

[niyad]

2. Was waiting to see if Speaker Pelosi would comment.

[Quakerfriend]

3. "a visit"

[gratuitous]

6. Yeah, like those Jan. 6 "tourists"

Pelosi is a grand master of shade.

[liberalmuse]

4. Explaining civics 101 to a dumbed down populace.

I guess they didn’t read past the 2nd Amendment just a couple Amendments down.

[Marcuse]

5. They don't even read the first clause of the Second Amendment

[ARPad95]

19. Always with the phallic symbols!

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/phallic-symbol

Psychoanalysis

any object, as a cigar or skyscraper, that may broadly resemble or represent the penis, esp. such an object that symbolizes power, as an automobile

It's obvious white supremacists are very insecure about what dangles between their legs.

[GB_RN]

7. They Usually Skip The Meaning Of the 1st...

And deliberately twist the meaning of the 2nd, to fit their warped view of gun ownership. And since that's how they treat the Bill of Rights, you certainly can't expect them to read any further or read any other amendments correctly.

[IronLionZion]

8. They must have a massive amount of evidence to get a judge to sign that warrant

There's definitely something there

[Stuart G]

9. The key is 6 words, "...no one is above the law" ....

Richard Nixon learned that a long time ago, and now Donald Trump is learning that lesson.

Both thought they were ....."..above the law." from the illegal things that they did.

Donald Trump is now learning that lesson the ..."hard way.".

If he read the history of Presidents breaking the law, he would have known.
But, he was sure....." he could get away with it." which characterizes him completely. (Just like Nixon)

[NullTuples]

12. That's what makes the FBI search w/ warrant so satisfying

You just KNOW that in his head nobody would ever be allowed to "violate his privacy" like that.

[NH Ethylene]

15. And it is VERY satisfying.

He's been 'above the law' his whole life, thanks to a lot of family money and a lot of bullying of others.

He's still trying, thinking he can rally his followers to exert pressure on his behalf. But their numbers have diminished and their power has peaked.

[NullTuples]

22. His followers will glom onto whoever gives them permission to do as they please

That is no longer him. He's lost his luster.

[geardaddy]

10. ...

[CaptainTruth]

13. Perfect!

[Kingofalldems]

11. A judge had to be convinced there was evidence of a crime.

No warrant without evidence.

I can't believe we have threads on DU insinuating this was normal activity.


Kick this one.

[TigressDem]

16. It IS Normal for FBI to get a warrant and look for suspected evidence in a criminal's house.

What other kind of normal would DU imply?

[Kingofalldems]

17. That it was just run of the mill stuff

going after docs by the National Archives, not about any possible criminal activity.

[TigressDem]

18. Yeah, well mr grabby hands took a lot that didn't belong to him.

Possibly separate searches....

tRump supposedly returned some things that were specifically asked for a while back and it is suspected held other items back. I guess THIS search is about what was held back.

[Joinfortmill]

14. It's begun. Hold on tight.

[The Jungle 1]

20. Wow what a fantastic couple of weeks.

[BigDemVoter]

21. I do love Nancy Pelosi. . .

I know there are some who don't, and there are some who want her to retire. . . . I think she is a master at what she does. . . Quite frankly, I don't think we would even have anything close to the Affordable Care Act had it not been for Nancy. . . . She knows how to get things through, and she always knows EXACTLY how many votes she has.

Living in Nancy's district in San Francisco, I always vote for Nancy. It's always funny, as she doesn't even need to campaign. Not all of my friends love her, but they certainly cannot say she doesn't do anything.

[Cha]

23. Nancy says a Lot.. & even the former "potus"

Agrees.

25. No former President did anything to deserve such treatment.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. It was NOT a raid. . . . nt
