The FBI, those g-men from the Deep State, raided the home of the President-in-Exile awhile back.\u00a0 Oh sure, they had search warrants, probably phony, no doubt printed on stationary stolen from some federal judge\u2019s office, all to embarrass the man who might choose to run again for the office he claims repeatedly he never lost.\u00a0 His followers, MAGA hats bent out of shape, and his political allies, egg slimed on their faces, screamed bloody murder, claimed the Justice Department was politicized and weaponized.\u00a0 They protest too much, methinks.\u00a0 DOJ asked nicely six months ago for the classified documents Trump squirreled from White House to Mar-a-Lago to be returned, something about felonious theft of public documents the National Archives were supposed to safeguard.<\/p>\n
Maybe they knew the guy who notoriously destroyed memos, deleted emails and otherwise hid his activities from view might want to flush more classified documents down the toilet in his back bedroom.\u00a0 Must have gone through their minds when nothing they said or did could convince Team Trump to turn over those boxes of missing documents, no doubt mistakenly moved, might have thought they were wedding pictures of the kids.\u00a0 Probably nothing incriminating in there.<\/p>\n
The resulting furor erupting from the Trump Universe varies from a call to Civil War to threats to investigate and ultimately hang the Attorney General and anyone else who authorized that search warrant once Republicans return to power, who cares that it is a High Bar to obtain a warrant for anyone, much less a former President of the United States.\u00a0 Who cares that the Trumpster wanted to weaponize not only the Department of Justice but the military too?\u00a0 Who cares that they subjected Hillary Clinton to an endless round of investigations over email servers and Benghazi?\u00a0 This, though, this raid on poor innocent Donald, cannot be tolerated.<\/p>\n
Politics, the art of the absurd.\u00a0 Trump, in another legal setback, was ordered to show his tax returns.\u00a0 He\u2019ll be in New York federal court today, no doubt pleading the 5th<\/sup>, but asking his followers for donations to help him fight against the endless Witch Hunt he\u2019s being subjected to.\u00a0 Write a check to the Save America Fund, he begs.\u00a0 It gets increasingly harder to tell what America he and his minions are talking about.\u00a0 Nothing I recognize anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The FBI, those g-men from the Deep State, raided the home of the President-in-Exile awhile back.\u00a0 Oh sure, they had search warrants, probably phony, no doubt printed on stationary stolen from some federal judge\u2019s office, all to embarrass the man who might choose to run again for the office he claims repeatedly he never […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[4917,4918,4919],"class_list":["post-15790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rantings-and-ravings","tag-benghazi-vs-mar-a-lago","tag-smokescreen-in-mar-a-lago","tag-what-about-hillarys-emails"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15791,"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15790\/revisions\/15791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skeeterdaddle.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
