The secret document investigation could lead to many more investigations. I don't think we know how bad this really is. I don't think we know how many people will be dragged into this investigation.
We still don't know what they found when they searched trumps office and home. All the documents they are talking about now are the documents he turned over before the search warrant. This is just the beginning of what could be one of the largest national security breaches ever. We simply don't know yet.

(19,066 posts)The FBI raided his house for a reason, and it wasn't just that they thought classified materials were unsecure there. There was an imminent threat to national security in order for them to take these steps IMO.

(31,025 posts)We would never hear about it because it would be so goddamn classified. It would just be another star on the wall in the CIA. Im sure Trump was counting on that too

(47,105 posts)The full truth simply cannot be divulged due to national security issues.
Also the US government does not want the world to know how incompetent and corrupt it has become.

(17,863 posts)Kind of like when we found out about Nixon and Kissinger torpedoing the peace talks or the truth behind the Gulf of Tonkin incident. I am still awaiting the revelation that Reagan's campaign conspired with the Iranians to keep the hostages until after the election.

(47,105 posts)People were talking about Reagan's conspiracy with the Iranians soon after it happened, and no one really cared about it.
GOP crimes always get a pass.

(50,557 posts)Comrade Trump, you will place this weeks documents in a hotel room at Mar-a-Lago and order your staff to not enter that room. You will write down the room number. You will not use the same room twice. At the same time as the room number, you will send a tweet. If you put the documents in room 125, you will tweet at 1:25 am. We will go down the next day and check into that room.

(17,863 posts)Link it to the entire Republican party. Everyone who voted no on impeachment in the House and Senate. Everyone who shared a platform with Trump especially after Jan. 6th.
I am thinking someone like Al Franken. Get this on Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Prime - whatever it takes.

It's fine by me if Liz is the stalking wolf that tears his fatass to bloody shreds... cause if that's done during the House sessions, NONE OF IT will be redacted lol.
Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)From the day he left office.
It's not like his ties to Russia prior to (and during) his presidency weren't well-documented by Robert Mueller. The spin and shitcanning nothwithstanding, there was a lot of smoke and Trump gave every indication during his days in office that he very well could be working as a foreign asset.
He was known to take classified materials on trips to adversarial countries. He met with dirty leaders in private. I'm sure the international intelligence community was well aware of the threat that Trump posed to all of us. Would it be a shock that he would be under constant surveillance since leaving office?
It might answer the question why the FBI moved so slowly. Perhaps they had ears to the ground and knew exactly what he was up to and what dangers he posed.

(4,742 posts)15 consecutive life sentences.
In the "H Unit" at ADX Florence.
Which means a 7x12' bare concrete cell, with a radio and MAYBE a TV (with pre-set programming of course) if you're an absolute model prisoner. For 23 hours a day. Your one hour out is in what's essentially an empty swimming pool with chain-link fence over the top. No human contact besides the guards your lawyer is about the only other person who can communicate with you, and that's only via letter.
It's a special Hell reserved for terrorists and traitors, and the thought of TFG rotting there warms the cockles of my icy, dark heart.
