Politics The Probe

More discussion in the Biden thread.

Person A might have a stapler and a couple similar items at home that belong to the company. They forgot about them, find them, & return them. They can also explain why they had them.

Person B might have several laptops, a couple of printers, & a stash of toner cartridges at home that belong to the company. They know they have them, can't explain why they have them, & repeatedly partially comply with requests to return them.

^ Not the same as classified docs & security risks, but does illustrate apples to oranges, or at least extremely different types of apples .

Edit: I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence, the similar-yet-very-different scenario popped into my head. I know some people who require such an explanation. None of them are TFP members.

 

Follow the money.

Special counsel seeks information on who is paying Trump orbit legal bills as investigation intensifies | CNN Politics

Perhaps uncover some illegal misdirection of campaign donations to defense attorneys. Maybe some extortion.

 

With black and white thinking, both would be fired. And both would be equally bad to many people. And the people who only read the headlines or want to believe that both sides are just as bad will use this as proof.

This is strange though. The government is usually really good at classified papers, especially when other people are in charge of it. It isn't like Biden was authoring it. But there should have been a security manager and courier that is responsible for the documents when they leave a secure area.

 

More roadblocks and legal wrangling. Will the War of Attrition never end?

Secret hold restricts DOJ's bid to access phone of Trump ally Rep. Scott Perry

'You have no right to my phone records, I'm a member of the House of Representatives! Despite evidence that I was actively involved in several illegal actions to overthrow the US government.'

 

I was doing some reading, trying to find out if anyone has ever been held responsible for the Secret Service, & other agencies, deleting phone records from Jan 05 & 06, 2021. So far updates on actions taken have been elusive.

I did find the following article interesting, & agree with it. It's long on passion, and short on sources details, but seems factual (the sources can be easily tracked).

More proof of assdragging.

Draft Shows Watchdog Took Months to Report Missing Secret Service Texts

 

Many people have been saying NPD Trump has benefited from prosecutors assdragging because they're scared to charge him with crimes, of which he is clearly guilty.

Others have defended the lengthy (seemingly never-ending) investigations as being necessary to make solid cases against NPD Trump.

https://www.npr.org/2023/02/07/1155...-could-have-charged-trump-with-multiple-crime

Mike Pomerantz is promoting his book, which gives him at least one reason to criticize the lack of charges. However, he also makes a very compelling case that the investigations have been intentionally overly thorough.

I've said it before & I'll probably repeat it again in the future: It shouldn't take forensic accountants forever to examine the documents NPD Trump used to promote investment in his companies and to apply for loans, to the documents he used when filing his taxes.

Enough already. Many of the discrepancies have already been exposed. I'm certain many more have been found. Charge NPD Trump with the crimes he has committed and put him on trial. Now.

 

I see that I'm not the only one
still
suffering from delayed and duplicate posts.

Edit: But it doesn't happen every time. ???

 

Pence has a man crush on NPD Trump, still, even after everything that happened. He probably won't lie exactly, he'll use carefully word half truths.

Unless...somebody stays on him with very precise questions that leave no wiggle room.

But...there's always the 5th Amendment.

 

This story won't surprise anyone who follows NPD Trump.
Keeping the negative research results a "secret" isn't illegal.

One possible question is:
Was how the Berkeley Reseach Group was paid legal?

 

There are several ways to view the inaction of Merrick Garland.

1. Garland is honestly meticulous to an extreme fault.

2. The above, plus he's waiting for a clear smoking gun.

3. He is being extremely slow under orders, unwritten, to drag this out to the point that few people will continue to care, so that the actions of NPD Trump will fade along with the man himself. Problem: NPD Trump relishes all attention, & ludicrous denials are his specialty.

4. Deep down Garland didn't want this, & his (in)actions reflect this. He knows ultimately it's a lose-lose situation.


Where is the pressure for Garland to get his ass moving?

 

Judge to release parts of Georgia special grand jury report

I hope the hell releasing parts of the report doesn't hurt the prosecution's case.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if the normally Republican state of Georgia brings down the mighty NPD Trump? As far as I'm concerned the phone call asking that the "missing votes" be found is a smoking gun.

 

We know Pence doesn't want to testify regarding the actions and inactions of the man he loves & admires, NPD Trump.
