Trump and his supporters are making it crystal clear: The price of social peace is a grant of absolute impunity for Trump no matter what we learn. When the Mar-a-Lago affidavit comes out, its redactions will instantly become more proof of his persecution.

By next Thursday the department will offer a version redacted to deal with those dangers. But Michael Bromwich, a former Justice Department inspector general, says that to avoid those risks the document will need to be heavily redacted. He predicts the department will argue that going further would compromise the safety of confidential informants, citing threats against the judge.

“MAGA people are making direct threats against anybody associated with this case, including the judge, the FBI agents and anyone providing information against Trump,” Bromwich told me. He said the department is likely to submit “a 95 percent redacted affidavit.”

Trump supporters might argue against assuming that any department redactions were made in good faith. But it’s important to note that Reinhart, who read the full affidavit, will be evaluating whether the department’s redactions are legitimately about protecting the investigation and its witnesses.

Of course, if Reinhart does agree those redactions are legit and orders the affidavit’s release, Trump and his supporters are likely to claim that the judge himself acted corruptly in accepting those redactions or even that he’s in on the coverup.

If the redacted document is released, “there will be a huge hue and cry,” Bromwich suggests, predicting that Trump and his supporters will effectively say, “what kind of a sham is this, the judge said he was going to release the affidavit, and we get next to nothing.”

It itself will become its own conspiracy. There’s lots of money to be made.

9. Yes, same mindset between Putin and the Orange Slug

Nice little country you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

In both cases, these are criminal, terrorist enterprises and should be dealt with accordingly.

3. The Price Of Social Peace, Ma'am

Is imprisoning Trump and breaking a terrorist movement he heads.
