Ever question what you see on the news?

The Deep State decides it doesn't want Trump to run again so it cooks up some charge about Trump "failed"to turn over some personal letters and a few dinner napkins and a menu so they get a search warrant from a judge who was a client of Epstein and raid Trump's home. They pretty much leave with the few things they came for and from what we can gather little else but the entire raid is the build up to getting an indictment against Trump so he can not run again. However what this really shows is just how far down the road to tyranny the US has fallen. This kind of political violence happens in some failed state banana republic where laws are meant to be ignored or just fabricated on the spot. You know places like Ukraine that shut down its opposition or Cuba or Venezuela. The US is no longer the light on the hill. It has fallen. Can it be reinvigorated?

You haven't a clue what they were after nor what they found.
Do you think he may have taken something that didnt beling to him?

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla And neither do you. What we do know is the judge that signed the warrant is compromised. We do know that the raid was looking for archive material that the national archives said they had all they wanted. Maybe if you questioned the news.....

@hippyjoe1955 What we do know is the judge that signed the warrant was appointed by Trump in 2018. Are you telling us Trump appointed a corrupt judge???

Carla · 61-69, F

@ElwoodBlues only the best people, elwood.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues And he was a client of Epstein. Therefore the FBI had leverage over him. He was not impartial. Oh and he is a huge Obama fan. If you think that the president personally appoints every magistrate judge in America you truly are delusional. Magistrate judges are appointed by district judges in the area. Again your ignorance is stunning. Maybe an etch a sketch graph would help.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla The magistrate judge was not appointed by Trump. Do some investigating.

ElwoodBlues · M

@hippyjoe1955 No, Epstein was a client of a law firm he belonged to at one time. You sure do get a LOT of stuff wrong, dude!!

The President his responsible for his judicial appointments. The buck stops in the Oval Office. Period.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues And there is evidence that the magistrate judge was also in Maxwell's little black book. You know that information the FBI has? Ever heard of J Edgar Hoover? The FBI learned from the best.

Carla · 61-69, F

@hippyjoe1955 i stand corrected.

Carla · 61-69, F

@ElwoodBlues after further investigation, he is correct regarding this judge.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla There are a lot of appointments made during a president's term that do not involve the president in any way. I would doubt that Trump was even aware of this guy's appointment and even then there was nothing Trump could have done even if he didn't like the appointment. That would be political interference.

@Carla

Reinhart has been a magistrate judge since 2018. Magistrate judges are appointed by district judges to deal with matters including bond hearings and signing off on search warrants.

So an appointee of an appointee of Trump. OK, I can see letting Trump off the hook on this. But by the same reasoning, we'd have to let Biden off the hook on the military withdrawal from Afghanistan. After all, Biden didn't appoint any of those officers who managed the process!

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues Son we have no idea who appointed the judges that appointed the magistrate judge. Some of them may have been appointed during the Carter administration for all we know. The fact is that the president does not appoint most of the judges in the US. They are picked by their fellow judges.

Carla · 61-69, F

@ElwoodBlues letting him off the hook? No.
Just because this judge isn't a trump sycophant, does not mean his warrant wasn't just.
People that are following the law aren't traitors or have nefarious reasons to do so.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla However the judge in question has a bit of a murky past as does the FBI. Does anyone honestly think that the FBI arresting Nevaro was anything but show? Shackles in an airport? Really? Why not just ask him to show up at the office on Monday morning?

Carla · 61-69, F

@hippyjoe1955 so because navarro is a politician, he should be treated differently than any other suspect?
That isn't how things work.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla Navarro is not a polliticisn. He was an advisor to Trump with no criminal record. There was no.ned for the leg irons and handcuffs.

Carla · 61-69, F

@hippyjoe1955 an advisor to trump. Not political? Come on.
Ignore a congressional subpoena, get arrested. That happens to be illegal.
It would happen to me should i do the same. I also have no criminal record.

ElwoodBlues · M

@hippyjoe1955 @hippyjoe1955 Nevarro had been refusing to comply with a legal subpoena. He had already been indicted for contempt of Congress. He was arrested in an airport attempting to leave town, and handcuffed only, like any other arrestee. FBI didn't put him in leg irons.

Rowley also suggested Navarro had been placed in leg irons by the FBI when he was arrested, but his client clarified after the hearing that the shackles were used by deputy U.S. Marshals when he arrived at the courthouse for his initial appearance last month.

Navarro has been going around earning a living by making pro-Trump speeches. That's pretty political by most peoples' judgements.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla you seem to miss out on the need. Leg irons and handcuffs? Really?!

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues your in
Ignorance of facts remains unsurpassed.

Carla · 61-69, F

@hippyjoe1955 handcuffs are procedure. Leg irons didn't happen, even according to navarro himself.
The irons were however, used in the courtroom. Again procedure.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Carla Actually they did and no handcuffs are not normal. Neither were the charges against him. Do try to keep up. Maybe look up executive privilege. You might be surprised at what you learn.

@hippyjoe1955

And there is evidence that the magistrate judge was also in Maxwell's little black book.

A supposition in a right-wing blog? You call that evidence??

The WSJ is now reporting that the FBI was tipped off that Trump was holding classified government documents illegally. Some are pointing to Mark Meadows as the tipster; personally I think it was some of Trump's Secret Service agents. If there was a tip like this, it might be mentioned in the probable cause portion of the search warrant they gave Trump. BTW, he's free to reveal the search warrant and has chosen not to. I wonder why??

UPDATE

Multiple sources are saying Trump had illegally absconded with documents relating to nuclear weapons and that he hadn't responded to subpoenas for those documents.

And what's most interesting is that Trump isn't denying he had the documents - he's just saying he thought negotiations were "going well."

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues You remain as clueless as ever. In your perfect little world the instant someone becomes an agent of the state that individual becomes flawless even surpassing God in perfection and honesty. Butter won't melt in their mouth and there is never any shadow of dishonesty or malfeasance ever present for ever more. All political biases and prejudices have disappeared and they become pure as the driven snow. Yes indeed there is no one good but a government employee. Too funny. Run along son your ignorance is beyond a joke.
