Normally an FBI raid is for a VERY specific item located in a VERY specific place but in this case agents spent 9 hours looking around and didn’t find much of anything. Sounds like Liz Cheney's dad told her Trump had weapons of mass destruction.

Close!

@ElectionWiz

Funny how the DOJ/FBI is leaking like sieve just hours after AG Garland told the nation about how professional and honorable the Department is.

Wait, the DOJ/FBI is refusing to offer information publicly, and then leaking unsubstantiated claims to friendly Washington Post stenographers who will ask no questions and offer no pushback...?

Does this feel familiar to anyone else? Does it feel, in fact, like rather well-trod ground?

Does it begin to feel, in fact, like a cliche?

Or are we in reruns of season 2 of The Great Trump Hunt?

If anyone believes that spin, raise your hand.

Now take that hand and slap yourself in the back of your head, dum-dum, to teach yourself not to be such a gullible dope all your life.

Here's an exact transcript of the thought processes that went into this lie:

"Hmmm... how do we justify this new warrant on the president... we have to make it sound good... it has to sound really important. It can't be something lame about the fucking National Archives, those bunch of pansies and bookworms.
"Last time we said it was because he was a Russian Agent. Can we say it's about him being a Russian Agent again? No, people won't believe that. The Russian Agent story kind of blew up in our faces. There's only so many times you can go to the Russian Agent well...
"We kind of need it to be bigger than the Russian Agent story. What's bigger than the President being a Russian Agent...?
"Hmm, we might have made a pretty pickle for ourselves with starting right off with the Russian Agent cover story. That's a hard one to top!
"Oh wait, I know what's bigger than the President being a Russian Agent -- what if he's a concealing NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!
"No wait, that's stupid -- how could Trump smuggle a nuke out of the White House? And where would he even get one? Unless we can figure out a way to claim he disassembled a nuke and smuggled it out in old Big Mac cartons, this isn't going to work at all...
"But... but we could say he has a document about a nuclear weapon, right...?!
"Right? Right! I mean, shit, US government documents contain a reference to nuclear weapons like every twenty or thirty pages! It's bound to be true, just based on the law of averages! If he's got more than 100 pages of documents, there are probably a solid three or four mentions of nuclear weapons in there!
"So that's it -- we'll say that the president, FORMERLY SUSPECTED OF BEING A RUSSIAN AGENT, IS NOW SUSPECTED OF CONCEALING SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!"

Anyone want to bet against me?

"Sources say."

"Sources say" again, huh?

I seem to remember "sources saying" a lot of things during Russiagate.

Does anyone else remember that?

Matt Taibbi does.

We are Demanded to Forget all the previous Regime lies in this Empire of Lies, so that we can accept the Regime's new lies, but he rebels, and remembers.

Taibbi remembers that the press previously reported that a FISA warrant would never be issued against a presidential candidate without compelling, substantial, crushing evidence undergirding it, and therefore, of course, there must be compelling, substantial, crushing evidence undergirding the FISA warrant.

Everyone else remembers that, right?

Or has the Regime chant -- Forget... Forget... Forget... -- already begun to work its obliviating magic?

The hugeness of the story has become part of its explanation. An action so extreme, we're told by expert after expert, could only be based upon "pulverizing" evidence.
Throughout the Trump years we've seen a numbing pattern of rhetorical slippage in coverage of investigations. The aforementioned Politics Insider story is no different. "Likely" evidence in the headline becomes more profound in the text. An amazing five bylined writers explain:

Regardless of the raid's focus legal experts quickly reached a consensus about it: A pile of evidence must have backed up the warrant authorizing the search.
They then quoted a "former top official in the Justice Department's National Security Division" -- you'll quickly lose track if you try to count the named and unnamed intel spooks appearing in coverage today -- who said, "There's every reason to think that there's a plus factor in the quantum and quantity of evidence that the government already had to support probable cause in this case."
Politico insisted such an action must have required a magistrate's assent "based upon evidence of a potential crime." CNN wrote how authorities necessarily "had probable grounds to believe a crime had been committed," while the New York Times formulation was that "the F.B.I. would have needed to convince a judge that it had probable cause that a crime had been committed." Social media was full of credentialed observers explaining what must be true. "The affidavit in support of the MAL search warrant must be something else," said Harvard-trained former Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Signorelli, one among a heap of hyperventilating names:
[Click here to see a Human Centipede of Twitter Know-Nothings all shitting in each other's mouths]

It's amazing how short our cultural memory has become. Apparently few remember all the other times this exact rhetoric was deployed in the interminable list of other Trump investigations, only to backfire later. Does anyone remember this doozy?

Applications for FISA warrants, Comey said, are often thicker than his wrists, and that thickness represents all the work Justice Department attorneys and FBI agents have to do to convince a judge that such surveillance is appropriate in an investigation.

I remember, Matt!

Or at least I want to remember! But The Regime keeps chanting: Forget... Forget... Forget...

That Washington Post story from April 11, 2017, "FBI obtained FISA warrant to monitor former Trump advisor Carter Page," by Devlin Barrett, Ellen Nakashima, and Adam Entous, was one of the key moments in the Trump-Russia scandal. It repeatedly stressed the illustrious credentials of all involved, noting, "any FISA application has to be approved at the highest levels of the Justice Department and the FBI," before dismounting to the crucial conclusion:

The government's application for the surveillance order targeting Page included a lengthy declaration that laid out investigators' basis for believing that Page was an agent of the Russian government and knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of Moscow, officials said.
The next day, the New York Times kicked the story forward by citing "a government official" who confirmed that the FISA court had obtained a warrant against Page "based on evidence that he was operating as a Russian agent."
Within a few days after that, Politics Insider -- the same outlet telling us today about the import of the warrant -- ran a piece by intel community spokescritter Natasha Bertrand called, "We just got a huge sign that the US intelligence community believes the Trump dossier is legitimate." The article deployed the circular logic that drove years of Trump-probe stories. We have evidence of an investigation, therefore the investigation must have evidence:

The FBI reportedly used the explosive, unverified dossier detailing President Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia to bolster its case for a warrant that would allow it to surveil Carter Page, an early foreign-policy adviser to Trump's campaign. It's a key signal that the FBI had enough confidence in the validity of the document to work to corroborate it and present it in court.
It's impossible to overstate how much mischief and inaccuracy was spread by one Washington Post report about the FISA court approval, which makes it all the more incredible that the paper won the Pulitzer Prize for its Russia coverage.

It's not really incredible, is it?

Militaries have sometimes resorted to hiding their greatest slaughters of innocents... by handing out medals. Hide your greatest catastrophes under a pile of ribbons and awards.

...
Many outlets, like Vox, noted that only the accusers had seen all the evidence, and the mere proles among us had not: "Law enforcement officials and Democrats who've seen the underlying intelligence," they wrote, "emphasize that the dossier allegations were only part of the justification for the Page surveillance." Callum Borchers in the Washington Post went the "FBI must have more" route:

It is wrong to say that this "Western intelligence source," presumably Steele, formed the foundation of an article in which at least three other sources featured more prominently... And it is hard to see how the article could have been a big factor in obtaining a warrant because it contained little, if any, information that the FBI did not already possess or which was not in the public domain.
Lest anyone need reminding about how all of these stories turned out, the Justice Department Inspector General found that "inaccurate information" and a host of other corrupted procedures were used to produce the "probable cause" in Page's FISA warrant. Michael Horowitz, the IG, also found "the FBI did not have information corroborating the specific allegations against Carter Page," and added, for the benefit of commentators like Borchers who insisted the Steele material was not, well, material, that it actually "played a central and essential role in the FBI's... decision to seek the FISA order."

But here we go again. The Regime chants Forget... Forget... Forget... and its courtiers and stenographers are writing the exact same story: They would never have authorized a raid on the president's home without "pulverizing" evidence, therefore, there must have been some truly "pulverizing" evidence.

Top-Level Genius Joe Scarborough -- I mean, he's the guy who landed the shaved she-ape Mitzi Barishnykov or whatever her name is-- just had a guest on to explain the FBI must have had serious evidence backing the warrant, and anyone doubting this is attacking a "non-politicized" agency and "independent law enforcement."

— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) August 10, 2022

Say, during Russiagate, weren't we also reassured that the judges would demand sufficient evidence before issuing the warrant? Weren't we also assured the FBI was then a non-politicized and independent law enforcement agency?

Forget... Forget... Forget...

So this is all just like Russiagate.

And yet the Russiagaters are not bothered by this at all, and repeat all the same Russiagate laugh lines.

Why? Do they not hear themselves?

Why aren't they bothered at all that this is just exactly like Russiagate?

Let me clue everyone in about something:

David French, AllahPundit, Jake Tapper, Maggie Haberman, Louise Mensch, all the rest of the Russiagate Conspiracists: They've never actually admitted that Russiagate was a conspiracy theory, have they?

Have you ever heard them clearly admit the hoax was concocted?

Or have they just gotten quiet about it, and sought to change the subject?

The latter, right?

Have you ever heard AllahPundit, David French, Jake Tapper, Adam Schiff, Jonah Goldberg, Maggie Haberman, Rachel Maddow, or the rest of the people who peddled these lies admit they peddled these lies? And then demand accountability from the people who infected them with the lies in the first place?

Big font for this answer:

NO YOU HAVE NOT. YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OR READ THEM DO THAT.

As I say, the most you see them do is get evasive on the point and then try to change the subject. "But what about [this false claim by Trump]!"

They. Never. Admit. That. RussiaGate. Was. Fundamentally. A. Lie.

And here's why:

Partly this is because these people are all disgusting intellectual narcissists who are not in fact very smart and are keenly aware that they are runts pretending to be big dogs.

There are two type of narcissists -- grandiose narcissists, and fragile narcissists.

Grandiose narcissists don't worry too much about their status becaue their narcissism is so great that they always assume they're top dog.

But the fragile narcissists -- the weak narcissists -- the brittle narcissists -- their little narcissistic worlds will come shattering apart if a single crack is allowed in their ego bubbles, so they can never admit fault, ever, and they're always desperately anxious that someone will detect them for the frauds and imposters that they know they are.

And all of these cocksuckers I've named for you are in that camp: Fragile narcissists.

They're not even the good narcissists! They're not even the Top-Drawer Narcissists!

(Like me.)

They're the weakling narcissists, the second-rater narcissists, the poser narcissists.

But the main reason they will never actually admit that Russiagate was a hoax, just something Hillary Clinton made up with the drunken liar and job-seeker Igor Danchenko, is that, despite all of the 100% uncontradicted proof that it was all a fabrication, these strict rationalists and dedicated anti-conspiracy-theorists...

ALL STILL BELIEVE THAT RUSSIAGATE IS TRUE.

What is it that Hemingway, or was it Fitzgerald, said about the poor in America?

There were no poor people in America; there are just millionaires temporarily embarrassed by a lack of funds.

Well, AllahPundit, David French, Jake The Fake Tapper, and the rest of the Russiagate Conspiracy Theory gang -- the same people who are always screaming about QAnon believing in pleasing partisan conspiracy theories, what's that, "WITHOUT EVIDENCE," as Fake Jake Tapper's snarky chyrons say--

They all believe that Russiagate is real and true, just temporarily embarrassed by a lack of evidence.

You cannot get any of these people to actually admit that Russiagate is fake for the same reason you cannot get a cultist to deny his divinity of his master: Because they are True Believers, and it's going to take more than an IG report or a mere lack of "scientific evidence" to disprove their Mighty Faith.

And that is also why they are all still desperate to Get Trump, to get him on anything: Because they believe -- completely illogically, completely irrationally -- that if they can get Trump on some completely unrelated beef, like being in possession of a mere document the National Archives says it wants back, that somehow "rescues" the Russiagate Conspiracy Theory that they know in their heart was true all along, and always will be true.

Has this every happened to you? You have a dream. Something wonderful. You're with the lover of your dreams.

Or you can fly. It's amazing.

I fly a lot. I hate waking up, flightless.

You wake up and none of it was real.

But you want to fly. You want to be with your dream lover.

For the next twenty minutes you begrudge reality and try to wish the dream world into reality.

NeverTrump and the left -- but I repeat myself-- had a nervous breakdown in 2015. They were fed a pleasing lie by Hillary Clinton and her paid operatives in FusionGPS in 2016. This lie helped them cope with their nervous breakdown.

It was all a dream. It was always a fiction.

But it felt so real to them.

And they want it to be real.

These "strict rationalists" -- in their own hyperemotive minds, anyway -- want their pleasing coping fantasy to be real.

They have been attempting to collectively will the fantasy of Russiagate into reality for six fucking years now, and it looks like they will never stop trying.

"NuclearCodeGate" is just the latest attempt to make RussiaGate real.

See this guy, for example.

It was all just a dream... or was it?

If Jake Tapper, AllahPundit, David French, Jonah Goldberg, etc., want to prove me wrong about their mental state and continuing belief that Russiagate Is Real, they can just, for once, forthrightly admit it was a hoax and a lie from the start.

And demand accountability from the people who lied and defrauded the government. And who made them look like pathetic chumps.

But they won't.

They never do.

They've had years to do so, and have always avoided doing so.

Keep the dream alive, fellas.

You strict rationalists, you hyper-empirical anti-conspiracists, you.

The Uni-Shooter

2oz chilled premium sake
1 piece about 1.5 inches long sushi quality uni
1 raw quail egg yolk
1 small pea-sized dab of prepared wasabi
5 drops soy sauce
1 cucumber stick
1 piece one inch square nori seaweed cut into fine slivers
Pour sake into chilled cocktail glass. Carefully add uni, gently slide quail egg yolk into the glass. Drop in wasabi.
At edge of the glass release drops of soy sauce so that a brown cloud forms in the drink. Stand cucumber stick. Just before serving sprinkle in slivered nori.

Did I mention there were 15 boxes? He must have done something really bad if there were 15 boxes picked up.

69 43 As others have pointed out, the dog that didn't bark at Garland's presser was any explanation why.

But, he was quick to wrap himself in the flag (don't dare criticized us!) and hide behind the skirts of agents (we're getting death threats!).

A moving company with three guys can pack up and empty an entire house in less than 5 hours. The entire house.
They had 30 agents, 3 AUSA and ten hours.

90 When I saw the WaPo horseshit, the sobor reason the FBI jackasses were rubbing Melanie's panties on their dicks is Trump is concealing super double dog dare dangerous nuke documents, well, I laughed, rolled my ass, and had a pee.

I then went right to the NY Times stories to read the comments. It was pretty hard not to conclude that the early commentors, most likely some govt. operative, had seeded this idea: Trump was going to sell off the information to bad people (*cough* Putin). Cue the two minutes of hate for the next 5 hours after that.

I might be skeptical of everything coming out the The Regime. Maybe.

130 It's not about the federal records act or nuclear codes but something even more deadly.

Barnes (see Ace's link on right) says he thinks Trump has some real dirt on the deep state, and that is what they were after in the raid. Trump apparently didn't keep it at Mar-a-Lago.

If this is the case, they don't want these documents to ever see the light of day, and they certainly wouldn't sent the Archive folks there to retrieve it. It also means that Trump will never see the inside of a courtroom.

Some believe Trump obtained a copy of the Epstein client list.

My personal guess ... Trump has the documentation of how and when the Sars-COv2 was developed. This would probably implicate Big Pharma, government researchers, lots of intergovernmental deals, government operatives, etc. If you recall, there was a story about how the idea of investigating the origins went over like a lead-balloon at the State Department, with a line "that is one hell of a Pandora's Box".

They all believe that Russiagate is real and true, just temporarily embarrassed by a lack of evidence."

As far as I know, none of them have been fired for their incompetence. That's because publishers, under the current libel laws, can lie about "public" figures without consequences. That's why we should follow Justice Thomas' lead and strongly consider libel and slander reform. Government should not restrict free speech rights, but I have no problem with making it easier for victims seeking redress in court against the Regime's propagandist media.

How about they admit the laugh out loud stupid "paid Russian prostitutes to urinate on the Moscow hotel bed Obama slept in" was a lie?

That they won't even admit the very stupidest parts were lies?

Because, if they admit even one small bit is a lie, then they have to explain how the rest is nevertheless true. There wasn't a "lies," "guesses," and "facts" sections to the dossier--it was all presented as all equally true.

178 Aetius, at the top end (the original 4 nuke powers, and really the Brits were mostly done a while ago) most innovation has been marginal for some time. Yield-to-weight ratio (or miniaturization) was the big area of advance for a long time, but it pretty much reached diminishing returns (delivery systems are plentiful, diverse, and more than adequate for the mission).

Going back many years, safety and reliability were the focus of additional development (always loved the "safe nuclear weapon" thing).

The deep penetrators you refer to were mostly a question of developing delivery systems and terminal elements (the design allowing penetration), not the payload itself.

But the idea that Trump would take, or be accidentally sent, anything remotely sensitive having to do with either weapons development or command/authorization issues is as facially absurd as the entire "RUSSIA!" thing was, from the start, to anyone more worldly than a 7-yr old.

234 Here is why the nuclear code thing is obviously wrong:

1) Nuclear codes are not forever fixed - they change periodically. they do this because it is possible that a code could leak. Therefore, a nuclear code that is now 2 years old is likely to be a worthless string of numbers.

2) You don't just need the CODE dummies, you need other forms of authentication. like for one, being the actual president and calling in from a special phone line.

3) Ergo, this is completely useless to Trump. Or to anyone really.

4) Ergo, if he DID have something like this they could just ask he return it.

288 234 Here is why the nuclear code thing is obviously wrong:
1) Nuclear codes are not forever fixed - they change periodically. they do this because it is possible that a code could leak. Therefore, a nuclear code that is now 2 years old is likely to be a worthless string of numbers.
2) You don't just need the CODE dummies, you need other forms of authentication. like for one, being the actual president and calling in from a special phone line.
3) Ergo, this is completely useless to Trump. Or to anyone really.
4) Ergo, if he DID have something like this they could just ask he return it.

Anyways, there I was flying upwards and saw as from below a nearly naked beautiful woman and I thought to myself I'm gonna go get her since I too can fly but then it dawned on me that she was swimming and if I'm coming up from under her I must actuall be a shark, so my dream turned into the cover of Jaws. So I went with it. Dream ended messily as you might imagine so I'll just stop here.

But almost the same thing.

325 So at this point we've gotten two wildly different explanations/rationalizations. neither of which make any sense. So they are both lies.

What does make sense? They went in on a pretext, looking for something they didn't find. Spent nine hours there. And not smoking gun press conference afterwards.

This was an attempt to hoover up some kind of damaging evidence they felt trump had. (epstein's client list, other stuff that he knows that they don't want out?) It failed because they got nuthing.

Biden is worried about something. He made them do it and then told them to figure out between them who was going to take the fall. Wray is the better bureaucrat and had the receipts to cut off Garlands mouse testicles.

401 Who are they afraid Trump is going to give Nuke information to? Iran? Because if that was the case the Democrats would give him a prize and a pallet of cash.

If it's Russia (who has just as many nukes as us) they may not want to learn about Hillary and Obama selling them all our Uranium deposits (with kickbacks of course.)

Nuclear weapons and their creation are common place now, the idea that Trump took some major secrets and was going to sell them to an enemy of the US (all whom have then already) is purely to freak out the idiots who believe everything the liberals tell them. Nukes just make it seem much scarier than "Trump took a souvenir Happy Meal box that was given to Barron on his birthday"

But the Democrats cast this die, so Biden better figure out which prison he likes best because Day 1 of the next presidency should start with his Delaware home being completely emptied by feds.

I think that's the objection. You can argue with evidence the existence and historical impact of Jesus. Contemporary historical comments. There are eyewitness accounts also, that can be used to support the divinity. Miracles, rising from death. There are significant numbers of intelligent logical people raised outside Christianity, "reading themselves in" to the faith. That said, I think he's saying that to "belong" you have to say you believe in this things, even if they are easily disprovable. Christianity is not easily disprovable. You can make an argument against it sure, but there are evidence base counter arguments. With progressive tenents, there are only emotion based counter arguments. If you do any reading on apologetics, you'll see a LOT of logical argument/evidence on this that is centuries deep.

So that a non denial denial, by a surrogate.

There are a heirarchy of bullshit approaches. This is the bottom one. It increases the liklihood that they did plant something and they are afraid they will later be found out. If they deny it themselves publicly they will have to pay for that later. If they issue a non denial denial through a surrogate they never have to say they are sorry. BTW this is all about the 9 hours of surveillance tape trump has on these clowns now. The Feds don't know what is on the tape. They are fcuked.

Bingo. That's been my suspicion for a while: they wanted to find something to tarnish Trump and, by extension, his endorsements. Their internal polling is horrible and they're in a panic. If the GOP wins big in November, then Trump cements his influence over the party, his status as the GOP nominee presumptive, and the admin is basically a lame duck for the next two years, while all the knives come out for the current Dem leadership.

624 I've long imagined Biden wandering around the WH in an addled daze, while various staffers continually sabotage each other in order to get control of him for a few minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if some staffer in the WH told someone at DoJ to go forward with the raid rather than dick around in court to get the documents, hoping that it would embarrass Trump and help them win the next news cycle or two. Now the admin is panicking and has to pretend that everyone at the top signed off on this, because otherwise they look worse.

I'm trying to think about this sort of realistically, although it's very difficult. I think my explanation holds, mostly because afterward what we're seeing is trial balloon after trial balloon going up from various agencies, not in coordination.

Then the DOJ saying, actually it was me. And no mention of whether the other groups were involved.

I respectfully disagree. Just because someone, who is not a believer, doesn't have a good handle on what it means to believe, doesn't offend me. what offends me, is people who claim to be believers, but don't really believe, they just use it for political talking points. David French pharisees. Do as I say not as I do hypocrites. I'd rather open a dialogue with a non believer and help them see the differences between a rational faith and irrational cult behavior.

637 I was truly saddened by Jonah's descent into idiocy. He was never truly intelligent, but his writing was kind of funny at first and he was one of the first "new conservatives" to be a) up on pop culture and b) not be so uptight. (That was the biggest problem with the George Will generation of "conservatives" they were uptight prudes who didn't understand mainstream pop culture at all).

The Corner was kind of fun to read back then.

but, Jonah, while not a big intelligence, didn't seem stupid and gullible and he did seem fairly conservative. But then Trump came along and he twisted himself up into knots betraying every "principled" conservative policy position he previously held and believing every anti-trump conspiracy theory no matter how nutty (Russiagate - anyone who bought into that is an idiot, it was obviously ridiculous from the start).

And now he's just a sad, dishonest shell selling himself to leftists to use as a "conservative" to attack conservatives. I can imagine it has to make him miserable to know he's so pathetic and dishonest.

700 Proof positive that they're idiots. Suppose Trump DID have something; did they think he was keeping it under his pillow? They consistently underestimate the man.

I'm perplexed just by the concept that Trump would have kept some super-secret "nuclear documents". What would be Trump's motivation to do that? What would be any upside for Trump.

I suppose the leftists/never-trumpers will revert back to the "meh-russia" claims and argue that Trump plans to sell such documents to Russia or China or someone.

But, if Trump really wanted to do that, he could have just done what Bill/Hillary did and just give the information to China while he was president.

Or, he could have done the most legal thing possible and create his own private email server to distribute official gov't documents, including national security documents making it easy for Russia and China to hack and take the documents. We have significant legal precedent that doing that is not a crime.

So, where would the motive be for Trump to take nuclear documents? Particularly knowing these people are gunning for him?

Its not like every Mullah and Imam would not already know about this. Rushdie didn't make it up. And he wasn't even being hostile to Islam when he wrote the book, the guy is a monster leftist.

That's sorta true. NR was so worried about being called racist during the Obama era that they accepted every argument the left made calling conservatives racist and "cast out" any conservative the left called racist. They refused to argue or defend against the race card. That's why they stupidly axed John Derbyshire, whose article was actually quite a good response to "the talk" stuff the left was putting out.

They lost any balls then and started to accept all of the left's premises as true. But, I think the real breakdown came with Trump. It started under Obama, but Trump flushed out any last remnants of conservatism from that group.

786 The fatwa on Salman Rushdie baffles me anyway. All he did was publicize what any Muslim scholar already knew: that Muhammad added into the Koran several verses about multiple gods and goddesses to trick Mecca, I think it was, to buy into his religion, then deleted them later, saying that a devil tempted him into writing that.

Its not like every Mullah and Imam would not already know about this. Rushdie didn't make it up. And he wasn't even being hostile to Islam when he wrote the book, the guy is a monster leftist.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 12, 2022 01:15 PM (Ivdso)

Rushdie's sin was writing that there were non-divine verses in the Koran. (the titular Satanic Verses)
Every single line of the Koran is said to come from Allah, so it was a big deal to people who care about such things.

839 They're counting on decades of conditioning by Hollywood that if there's a lot of excitement and activity surrounding a plot device, then what that device makes no difference. It's what they call Hitchcock called a "MacGuffin." It's the "secret plans" or "sensitive documents" fought over in many a movie and TV show. It's the glowing briefcase in Pulp Fiction. No one ever finds out what was in the suitcase, and it ultimately doesn't matter. The mere fact that so many people are willing to kill over it is what generates its power. This may work for a fictional movie, but in real life it kinda does matter. As we witnessed in the Iraq War when the MacGuffin of WMDs, used to whip up support for the invasion, never turned up.

Come on, is -anyone- stupid enough to think ’The Donald’ personally packed 35 boxes of paperwork to be sent to Florida? I’d be surprised if he packed his own bloomin toothbrush… even it there is a ‘there’ there, it was obviously put there accidentally by some clueless GS-5 at GSA, or intentionally by some deep state sphincter licking GS-15 on the executive office staff who’s looking to get bumped up to senior executive service level as a doggie treat from the Biden Junta.
