It would be terrible if he had a massive heart attack or stroke before he could be tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison!

Terrible indeed.

It is hard to find anyone in American history as bad as Trump. Benedict Arnold comes to mind, but he was a competent military officer whereas Trump is an idiot, albeit a dangerous idiot.

No, the closest figure is probably Boss Tweed, the corrupt machine politician from New York. Tweed ran lucrative schemes in NYC but his ultimate fate was to die in prison. If only that is what happens to Trump.

If Jared, who has been keeping a subterranean profile lately, should pop up in a certain luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi, a lot of questions will have been answered.

TFG's diehard fan club will spend the rest of their lives thinking the rest of us are laughing at them. They will be right.

documents out of view prior to another DoJ visit.

If that is accurate, we're getting very close to a serious criminal checkmate

our adversaries have them.

Video of the confidential documents being moved shows criminal intent.

If DOJ has enough to indict Trump it needs to do so sooner rather than later. Trump is a threat to our national security.

Or

Put on a plane to an undisclosed destination, certainly without extradition treaty with the U.S.

Where else could they be stashed??????? They are worth far more than any gold bullion......

I just gotta believe that the leaders of most legitimate countries in the world are as worried as we are........

We've learned recently that Mar-A-Lago has 1950's style bomb shelters, probably long-forgotten and never checked. Please FBI, investigate the bomb shelters and you'll probably find lots of interesting stuff. Like Chump's porn stash and blackmail materials.

Everyone knows damn f***ing well what he was intending to do with it. He wanted to be the worlds richest man, being the first man on earth to be worth ZILLIONS, not just billions.........

Who was the bad guy in the Bond movie who wanted to control the world???????? And didn't he have nuclear weapons he stole?????

We don't really know yet who told them to do what and when, nor do we know to whom they reported it done as they were tasked. That's what I'm getting at. So again, we'll have to wait for depositions, names, dates, etc.

to drumpf's desk so he could read them?

to a copy machine?

to a visiting foreign spy?

or were they set outside the room for five minutes while the janitor mapped the floor?

I bet drumpf liked to "show off" the documents to guest because he thought it would make him look like a "big boy" in front of the grown ups. this guy has the fragile ego and mental acuity of a small unloved child

relays. Tucker Carlson's weeklong show in Budapest was a relay. Orban and Trump both at CPAC was a relay.

Relays of info, intel, money, plans, kompromat, orders, deliveries, whatever kleptocrats do behind the scenes when they're doing their official "event" before the world. Because these events sure as hell aren't governing.

They're so enmeshed in their "Grand Theft Auto(cracy)" game that they think Democrats' governing is an insurgency on their consensus of reality. But the bottom line question is: can they get receipts and affidavits that aren't just victim talk

My thinking precisely......an obvious public gathering.

Done in plain sight.....always the best con........

And few here recognized Orban, know who he is, and especially that he was a guest lecture at CPAC....good for pointing him out also.....

Your last sentence is Right On.......and the most important statement of all.........

Even with the cold hard evidence, it won't matter. The "new" Republican party, utilizing Fox "News", assholes like Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson, along with all the others, and Right Wing Radio the only station rural America listens to, they are extremely effectively brainwashed.
There were a lot of people super angry among our citizens, (from being trompled all over by the Bush/Cheney administration, the Republican Senators and Republican Party et al), all they needed was someone to point them in a direction and what individuals to blame it on.

70 million Republican voters went with it.............proven by the warning tonight by several agencies about their fears of mobilizing Trumphumpers Racists across the nation. A RED Alert for what they are hearing and are seeing, like in Arizona tonight where a group of armed and angry Trumphumpers are gathering in front of the FBI building. They are being driven by the FBI raiding Trump's domicile.

I gotta believe that the FBI, every one of our thirteen intelligence agencies, the DHS etc etc etc were watching everyone extremely closely in or around any of those events......

Maybe they saw something that led them to raiding Mar-a-Lago right after the "Golf Tournament", or maybe it was the Saudi's giving Jared two billion dollars? Or anyone or more of other possibilities........

Any way, awesome commentary ancianita, and thank you many times over for your intelligent input.......... and loved your:
