Trump once said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose support

Judging from the reaction of Trump cult members, he could also steal national security documents on his way out of the White House and sell them to the highest bidder and not only not lose any supporters but have many of these fucking nutjobs pledge their lives and AR15s to defend him from culpability.

These people are crazy and literally parrot talking points from FoxNews, Newsmax, and OAN in defense of the indefensible. Within hours of the search warrant being made public, a right-wing person I know was talking about starting a civil war over a legally applied, probable cause under oath submitted, judge approved criminal process because their god baby said he was the victim of a "weaponized" judicial system controlled by vengeful Democrats.

Jesus Christ, these people are insane.

The amount of evidence that would be necessary for a judge to approve this warrant must have been overwhelming, and the potential for ongoing criminal activity of the most severe nature would have to be unimpeachable and without question. Because of the political fallout we are seeing from Trump and his minions, this would not have been conducted without multiple levels of oversight and legal approvals.

I believe Trump not only had documents that were of the highest importance to our national security but that he also was sharing information with one or more of our enemies for profit or simply for the satisfaction of his huge fucking ego.

The FBI left a copy of the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. If Trump and his screeching minions think there has been a miscarriage of justice and the search was based on political revenge rather than evidence of a crime, all they have to do is publish the warrant, unredacted, and let the public judge its probity.

He won't because that warrant contains damning evidence that he committed a serious federal felony.
