After the Human Centipede of Twitter Know-Nothings just kept shitting the words "Release the warrant" into each other's mouths as if this meant anything -- as if the warrant would contain the affidavit supporting the warrant -- we finally got the warrant, and boy oh boy, does it say... nothing.

The warrant says they've come to seize all of his presidential documents.

The warrant is so specific that in line c., it demands... every Presidential record created during Donald Trump's entire term. Every single one.

So yeah, this is a super-specific warrant. Releasing it really cleared matters up.

Is everyone now illuminated? Now that "Trump's bluff has been called"?

"RELEASE THE WARRANT! RELEASE THE WARRANT!"

"FEED!"

Boy, whoever scouted that incredible Young Conservative Talent and brilliant wide-ranging mind we know as Sarah Isgur Flores, man, I'd like to buy you a steak dinner, sir. You really picked out a winner there.

You definitely did not just promote her as a "conservative" because she had ovaries and could say "I like Reagan, eagles, freedom, and trucks" without giggling too much.

Well done, Conservative, Inc. Well done, as usual!

But we did some "outreach" to stupid AWFL suburban Wine Moms who vote with us once every six cycles! I'm so glad we paid Sarah Isgur Flores all these years instead of actual conservatives who could advance actual conservatism.

Kinzinger admits Trump won their feud, at least "in the short term:" "Yeah, he won. In the short term at least," he said. "There's no use in pretending somehow I scored some major victory and saved the party."

He says he voted for Trump in 2020, which is surprising.

Jeffrey Toobin Departing CNN To Expose Himself To New Audiences

Our woke military:

@BillyGribbin
From a friend: "I'm about to fail my workplace violence prevention training because the test was designed by high school girls."
@USNavy really striking fear into the hearts of our enemies these days.

Based on the limited context I see, I think the question concerns someone with a crush on another person, who is disappointed that person doesn't share her feelings, so she crumples a photo of that person. The question is, should this crumpling of a photo be reported to the crumpler's supervisor as a possible sign of workplace violence?

He answered "No," because it's not violence and none of his business.

The Navy -- the US Navy! -- says it is violence, and Navy personnel should now rat on each other to their supervisors about such minor matters.

This is the US Navy, again, whose profession is actual violence, now claiming that photo-crumpling is actual violence.

Jesse Kelly linked this, commenting, "We're going to lose a major war."

Oh there's no doubt about that. The only question is, will that lost war completely destroy the US, or just destroy and humiliate the US government, permitting sane citizens to take the country back?

In four days, Liz Cheney will be unemployed.

Just kidding!

From GrandOldMemes on Twitter.

No but seriously, in addition to immediately inking a deal with CNN to provide "expert commentary" except on any of the issues upon which she might disagree with Jake Tapper, she'll immediately be appointed a "Resident Fellow" at AEI lobbying for Google and FaceBook as well as a job with a foreign policy shop in which she'll lobby for a shady foreign country, possibly Ukraine, without ever registering with FARA but that's okay because she's part of The Regime and The Regime is above the law.

AllahPundit will sink into a deep depression but then he'll check the TVGuide and say:

"Oh, there's a good Maddow on tonight on the new 'MSNBClassic' streaming channel I signed for as a lifetime subscriber for the low, low locked-in price of just $40 per month. It's an episode from January 2018 -- Peak Russiagate.
"Sigh. Peak Russiagate -- those were the days, m'boy! Every day the walls were closing in and every night the train was running out of track! We wuz KANGS then, I tell you! Twitter was an Algonquin Round Table of Russiagate Conspiracy Theorists and Dulcet Rachel was our Dorothy Parker!!
"I think this episode is the one where she talks about Trump's secret backdoor server connection to Russia -- everyone knows that Trump is a very tech-savvy operator and often speaks in binary and alphanumeric to throw off the feds -- and she gets so physically excited by the top-notch all-star reporting of the real journalism site Slate I think you can see her spontaneously lactate on camera!!!"

Noted Deranged Russiagate Conspiracy Theorist Jonah Goldberg, who believed every single impossible-to-believe thing his leftwing media palz told him, suddenly discovered a thing called "skepticism" when confronted with Hunter Biden's laptop.

He believed it was Russian disinformation of some kind. At the very least, he believed the laptop had been insinuated into the public view by shady actors, probably by RUSSIAN AGENTS.

When someone pointed out the laptop and simply been abandoned at a computer repair shop and the owner himself had turned it over to the FBI, Jonah demanded, incredulously, "And you believe that? At face value?"

Well:

Jonah, you either have to get smarter, or you have to lose 70 pounds. That's it, that' my ruling. The "Fat and Dumb" thing just isn't working for me any longer, Jonah. This is no longer the Chris Farley Decade, and it hasn't been for about 12 years.

It's just not funny anymore, Jonah. I guess it was kinda funny when you were younger, but you're old now and your skin looks worse and worse and your hair seems to have moved from the city to the outer suburbs -- each neighbor is now quite far away from the next; each hair can have a party without fear of keeping the neighbors up at night -- and now the whole package is just, well, Sad!

@julie_kelly2

Don't forget all the "influencers" on the Right who promised Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco would run the DOJ fairly and impartially should be run out of the business for being wrong....again.

Who we are.

A walk down memory lane -- and a walk into the near future, from Deb Heine:

Deb Heine, Dissident
@NiceDeb
Gird your loins average Republicans. From day 1, the Biden Regime has (like Obama) sought to punish political enemies. Until now, they focused on politically active folks. Now they appear to be about to revive the Obama era abuse of the IRS to go after conservatives. /1.

Remember those bad old days? Between 2009 and 2011, IRS audits against small businesses increased 32%. Among the 100s of businesses raided by the IRS and Department of Justice, using paramilitary, gestapo like tactics, was Mountain Pure Water Bottling & Duncan Outdoors, Inc. /2

Who can forget the raid on Gibson Guitar (located in Tenn.) where armed agents from the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife raided 4 factories, confiscating guitars and sending hundreds of employees home. Gibson was accused of using illegal wood in violation of the outdated Lacey Act. /3
Underreported at the time was the fact that Gibson's chief executive, Henry Juszkiewicz, contributed to GOP politicians. By contrast, the Dem donor CEO of Martin & Co. a another guitar maker, reportedly used the same type of wood but was left alone.
On 01/18/2012, 40-50 heavily armed, hostile gov agents raided Mountain Pure water, scaring the heck out of everyone in the building. The owner said he was cursed at, spat on & bullied in such an egregious fashion, he felt like they were trying to provoke him to react violently./5

The owner, John Stacks said his son, Court Stacks, the General Manager, had a loaded gun pointed to his face. His seven and a half month pregnant wife watched news coverage of the raid at home in horror. She would later lose the baby. /6
Stacks said one of the agents told him, "we're the federal government and we can do anything we want to." This was all over an SBA loan the owner secured through the Federal Emergency Management Agency to recover tornado losses to his home, warehouse, and associated equipment. /7
A documentary called "Rampant Injustice" exposed some of the Obama-era federal abuses of power. The video features a reenactment of the Mountain Pure Water raid. I was told that the misconduct of the agents were even worse than was depicted in the video.

The articles and videos Deb references can be found in the thread where she first posted.

Surprise: Political "experts" aren't experts, and their pronouncements and predictions are less accurate than those of random members of the public.

Cable news and talk radio are brimming with political experts -- pollsters, consultants, former politicians, etc. -- who supposedly have keen insight into what will happen in the world of governance. The thing is, when they make predictions on political matters, they're pretty bad at it.
Between the 1980s and early 2000s, Philip E. Tetlock, a Professor of Psychology at Penn focused on politics and decision-making, conducted a long-term study in which he recruited 284 people whose professions included "commenting or offering advice on political and economic trends" to predict the outcome of various political events. At the same time, he had laypersons do the same, collecting 82,361 forecasts over two decades. When the study concluded, the experts barely outperformed the non-experts, if at all.
Reviewing Tetlock's work, Professors Adrian E. Tschoegl and J. Scott Armstrong, both at Penn, noted, "Beyond a low threshold, additional expertise did not result in greater accuracy in forecasting, and there was some evidence that those with the most expertise were less effective at using new information and thus less able to improve their accuracy."
A study published in 2008 echoed Tetlock's results. A Swedish researcher had members of the public, journalists, and political scientists attempt to forecast the outcome of Swedish parliamentary elections. When all of the predictions were aggregated, members of the public were actually most accurate.

Well, I mean, here's the thing: They're not being measured or tracked on these things, apart from these few random studies. What gets measured gets improved; what doesn't, doesn't.

These flakes and phonies are allowed to make as many bad predictions and "wish-casts" as they like without ever being called to task for it.

We see that now in the media, with no one in the media bothering to check any more if "reporters'" reports are actually, you know, accurate. "Reporters" who simply lie are rewarded and allowed to simply continue lying because their lies please a constituency.

...
So why do political experts endure and get rewarded with outrageously high fees if they regularly offer such poor prognostications? Armstrong has a theory: The Seer-Sucker Theory.
"No matter how much evidence exists that seers do not exist, suckers will pay for the existence of seers," he wrote. "One explanation is that the client is not interested in accuracy, but only in avoiding responsibility. A client who calls in the best wizard available avoids blame if the forecasts are inaccurate."

I was very briefly hired in a job involving advising clients. I knew nothing about the subject matter. The two pieces of advice I was given: Make definitive statements; people aren't paying you for vague or wishy-washy bullshit, they can imagine that themselves. They already have uncertainty. They want certainty. So give it to them.

And: Just say it confidently. Doesn't matter if you have no idea what you're talking about. Say it confidently.

I guess those are really the same advice, in two different formats.

Every media jerkoff you see on TV is just following that advice.

And also: They're lying for a partisan audience.

And also: They're possibly being paid to front for some client.

Don't believe a word they say.

The FBI's partisanship renders it unfit for purpose:

Literally one of the dullest-minded and most crazed women I've ever heard or read, but hey, at least the FBI got that Diversity Slot filled.

The media first couldn't wait to call the FBI raid on Trump's home a "raid" to maximize the idea that he was a criminal being targeted, but as the overreach by the FBI became clearer and the Deep State became more defensive, they began running from the term.

And oh yeah -- their Democrat Commanding Officers ordered them to stop calling it a raid.

Not sure that DC has jurisdiction. Vicinage in the Constitution requires a trial in the jurisdiction where the crime occurred. In this case, it would seem that the SD of Florida would be the jurisdiction responsible for any trials. Hard to make DC jurisdiction out of alleging illegal retention of documents in FL.

58 So the warrant is almost-literally "Evidence we can try Trump for".

Yeah, there's that narrow focus that our agency of oh-so-top professionalss can parade as a banner for flawless scruples.

Posted by: Axeman at August 12, 2022 05:18 PM (krQz2)

59 7 Also, Garland claimed that the warrant was narrowly tailored, and that is proven to be a lie.
----------------------
The particularity clause binding warrants is simply blown away by referring to all documents Trump generated as president. Trump could go to court as Nixon did and argue illegal seizure plus damages.

What is notable about Nixon's papers is that the Government eventually had to pay millions to Nixon for seizing his papers.

This is an example of the shit legal work that government lawyers put into warrants. It says something for the incompetence or collusion of the magistrate judge that he would sign off on such a ridiculously overbroad search warrant. Only Hillary or Garland would be stupid enough to argue that Trump's entire presidency was a crime.

Posted by: 7man
--------------------
Allegedly but you can have multiple grand juries investigating in different jurisdictions. You have to be tried in the place where you committed the crime and ONLY the defendant can move for a change of venue--not the government. That is called vicinage and is in the Sixth Amendment because the Brits shipped colonial prisoners to Nova Scotia to be tried for admiralty crimes like smuggling. Nova Scotia was like DC in that it was basically a British Naval base and that is about it. See 6th Amendment, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law. . ."

It's a fait accompli. Trump is essentially a captive to the insuperably corrupt system now with no way out.

Since the early 90s he talked about running for President and explaining why in such simple, smart, patriotic terms. He lost a chunk of his fortune in the process (the only president to end up poorer) and despite brilliant, impossibly successful service to his country has been vilified and persecuted from the moment he announced and will be to the moment he dies, and no doubt beyond. It's a crime whose vileness and cost to the country can never be forgotten.

And, yes, the IRS will perform a version of this personal destruction on every conservative in America they can identify.

I would disagree. Watch the video of Garland's statement. He knows it was a goof. Note that Wray has kept his mouth shut too. Now, the same mo as Mueller, leak the sensational espionage, Atomic Secrets Act, and so on.

This could be to give distractive over to the DC grand jury or maybe not. People rarely get to see videos of the Feebs tear up some house in a search and apparently Trump has them for release.

229 Reading that "Property to be seized" document is dumbfounding. There is absolutely no specificity on documents: like Ace mentioned, they apparently took ALL of Trump's Presidential records.

If the Nukluar Seekretz story was real, I would have expected some specificity on describing what the FEEBs were looking for. Obviously, they just went in and took any scraps of paper that they felt like.

Equally obvious, they didn't find what they were really looking for. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had days of denials of responsibility for this $h!t show.

You can do that but it is still a reversible error if a judge hears about it.

The std. if more likely than not that the defendant committed an illegal act. Stupid prosecutors wanting only a win will include evidence (hearsay, etc.) that could never be submitted in court with the intent of investigating and proving it later via grand jury subpoenas for evidence or testimony. Ethical prosecutors will more or less use the evidence that they intend to prove in court.

More likely than not is a relatively lenient std but most grand jurors have never taken a look at the Federal Rules of Evidence nor the court cases that originated many of those rules.

Just for the record, abusing civil liberties under the color of law is, in fact, a capital crime. Not sure if that applies to denying executive privilege... But it might:

264 "We wouldn't raid Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate or Melania's wardrobe unless it was absolutely, 100% necessary," said Garland. "I resent any accusation that this raid was influenced by partisan politics or my insatiable desire to wear pretty designer dresses." The Attorney General then did a little spin in his purple gown as the press gasped with delight.

FBI Director Christopher Wray echoed the statement as he strode up to the Hoover Building in a dazzling pair of diamond-encrusted Alexander McQueen stilettos. "The men and women of the FBI are paragons of unassailable integrity and impartiality, and any suggestion otherwise is murderous treason," he said. Several news outlets present also noted the delicious smell of Chanel No.5 in the air.

291 Anyone trust the FBI/IC's handling of "confidential/secret" material? Of earlier this year? Or now? Or the recording of what was found? Or the chain of custody? Or legitimacy of ANY documents (considering any of it could be a Rathergate Memo)?

I don't care what they "find" or don't. I don't care what they say. Or don't.

It's an illegitimate agency now. Not even the "good guys" are standing up to say, "This is wrong. No, I'm not going to help with this witchhunt."

It's not Bad Apples in the Barrel. It's the Barrel itself with rotten wood and rotten design. Anything it touches is laced with poison.

So even if this drags on (as designed) and Trump is found "guilty", I'll have to figure out how to vote harder and more often to ensure he gets back in. He could bang Russian hookers on a pee soaked bed while snorting Hunter's coke and cashing Pelosi's stocks for all I care. This is no more about Trump.

300 The warrant includes "every Presidential record created during Donald Trump's entire term," but it is not remotely limited to only those records.

The warrant also includes "any containers/boxes (including any other contents) in which such [physical documents with classification markings] are located, as well as any other containers/boxes that are collectively stored or found together with the aforementioned documents and containers/boxes."

So if there is a one-page document with a classification marking-including presumably the notation that it was formerly classified but has been declassified ("classification markings")-in a large box that is "stored or found together" with dozens or hundreds of other boxes with contents that are not described in the warrant, then the box in which the declassified document is found, and all its contents, together with all of the dozens, or hundreds, of boxes stored or found with that box and their contents are all included in the warrant as written.

Just for the record, abusing civil liberties under the color of law is, in fact, a capital crime. Not sure if that applies to denying executive privilege... But it might:

Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.

It is NOT a capital crime regardless of the verbiage in the statute because Scotus has reserved capital punishment ONLY for cases of actual murder with special circumstances using the 8th Amendment proportionality analysis--not the attempted murder that is in the statute.

Law schools are turning out some really bad graduates in recent years that have heads filled with muck. Many of these end up working in the criminal justice system because of Public Service Loan forgiveness.

Posted by: I Mean
--------------------
Ideally, if the DOJ followed normal procedures of actually wanting to be able to introduce the evidence into court with no arguments, the target is notified and then a district court judge usually hears arguments why and why not a warrant should be quashed.

Exigent circumstances require fear of evidence being moved or destroyed and that is the argument DOJ used. However, waiting three days to execute the warrant undercuts that argument somewhat.

395 Sounds like the prosecutor is using the prima facie approach (that viewing the facts in the most favorable light for the prosecution)[

Posted by: whig

Yes! She even used the term "prima facie" and explained its meaning. The issue I have is after the perfunctory presentation of affidavits etc, some of the charges are not at all compelling (others are). I have questions, but those questions will only be resolved at trial.

So then in all honesty I can't say that I am convinced "more likely than not". The only way you get to "more likely than not" is if you start with a prior that "cops don't lie", "defer to authority", "prosecutors always act in good faith" etc. But then if you do that, what's the point of the grand jury? So I refuse to weigh those general factors (other than assuming the affidavits are truthful - if I don't assume that then I got nothing). But I know most people can't help but weigh those factors.

Anyway, just rambling here. But it's been illuminating.

Early on I had speculated that the raid was an instance of the FBI taking advantage of a leaderless Executive Branch to go rogue. Now I'm starting to wonder if the real mastermind behind the raid was someone just below the Director who specifically waited until his boss was on vacation so that there wouldn't be a risk of Wray realizing what was up and stopping the raid before it could happen.

OT: saw a story that some abortion fanatics tried to disrupt a Mass and the congregants responded with the prayer to Archangel Michael which caused the invaders to retreat in confusion.

Heh.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

You can say that to God-that you don't feel you're on good terms-and pray for this guy anyway. It's not as if God doesn't understand our feelings of estrangement from him. If we had to be perfect in order for God to hear us, the only one who could pray to God would be Jesus.

481 The left media struggles to appear all knowing and all controlling - they desperately trot out numerous 'make-work' projects as media entities like doofus fake outfits called "RawStory", "Business Insider", "Arnet", "Talking Points Memo", "the Hill"...etc. These are just NY Times and WAPO story force multipliers - their job is to fill your inbox with the same exact stories filed by the usual same 10 or 12 liberal writers at those entities, over and over again.

Its meant to make it look like no one in the entire world is conservative, everyone in the world is a liberal purple haired doink - it is you that is different! But look at all their borrowed bylines, its the same dozen NYT or WAPO writers, over and over and over again....
