Lies have consequences. The DOJ will unseal the search warrant and devastate Trump and his GOP supporters to end the nonstop lying
quote
Trump could have made the search warrant public at any time, but for some reason, he chose not to do so. Instead, Trump has been attacking the FBI and his Republican enablers have been making up stories about the search.
Once the DOJ’s motion is approved by a judge, the whole country will get to see what Donald Trump was hiding in his basement at Mar-a-Lago, and the contents of that warrant could be devastating for Trump and the Republican Party.

“Newt Gingrich, damn you. You know better?… you are taking another cheap shot at law enforcement officers when they don’t serve your interest, in saying we’d be better off to think of the FBI as wolves? Wolves who want to eat you? Wolves who want to dominate you? You say the FBI has, quote, ‘declared war on the American people?'”
“You have all of these freaks, fools, insurrectionists, and people who were causing violence in America, these people who hate law enforcement, these people who were declaring war against the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, because it doesn’t serve their political purposes for the moment.?They’re declaring war and calling — Newt, you’re calling Christopher Wray a wolf who wants to eat the American — what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you? What a freak you are.”

It so happens when the search warrant is unsealed, that the liars will have to compete at every public stop they make, with signs comparing their false statements with the contents of the search warrant, made public
Enjoy your self made hell. You are worth it. And better yet, the LYING this time is on behalf a person who is sponsored by an overseas government, the deadliest adversary the American nation has

AG Merrick Garland Just Devastated Trump And GOP By Moving To Unseal Search Warrant
Attorney General Merrick Garland responded to attacks from Trump and his supporters by filing a motion in court to unseal the search warrant.
Video of Garland:
Attorney General Garland said:
The Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and his work. Just now, the Justice Department filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal a search word and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week. That search was a premises located in Florida belonging to former president Donald Trump.?
The department did not make any public statements on the day of the search. The former president confirmed the search that evening as is his right. Copies of both the warrant and the FBI property receipt were?provided on the day of the search to the former president’s council who was on-site during the search.?
The search warrant was authorized by a federal court upon the required finding of probable cause. The property receipt is a document that federal law requires law enforcement agents to leave with the property owner. The department filed a motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances, and the substantial public interest in this matter. Adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor.
Merrick Garland Isn’t Going To Allow Trump and The GOP To Lie
Trump could have made the search warrant public at any time, but for some reason, he chose not to do so. Instead, Trump has been attacking the FBI and his Republican enablers have been making up stories about the search.
Once the DOJ’s motion is approved by a judge, the whole country will get to see what Donald Trump was hiding in his basement at Mar-a-Lago, and the contents of that warrant could be devastating for Trump and the Republican Party.

Republicans Are Doomed As 58% Of Americans Think Trump Committed A Crime After FBI Raid
领英推荐
A new snap poll found that Trump’s support in the 2024 Republican primary went up after the FBI search, but 58% of Americans think he committed a crime.
????In mid-July, 53% of Republican voters and Republican-leaning independents said they would vote for Trump if the 2024 primary were being held today.
?Our polling today finds Trump with 57%. The next closest candidate is Florida Gov. RON DESANTIS at 17% — down from 23% in the July poll. No other candidate breaks double digits.
The big number in the same poll is that by a margin of 58%-31% Americans think that Trump committed a crime while he was president.
Republicans Are Doomed
The problem for the Republican Party is that Donald Trump has a hold on Republican primary voters, and it is going to be difficult for any other candidate to defeat him.
The idea that the Republican Party could ditch Trump but keep Trumpism is being disproven with new polling.
Republicans may be stuck with Trump unless he is convicted of a crime and disqualified from holding office, but Donald Trump might also be unelectable.
It is very possible that Republicans nominated?Donald Trump,?and then the party is immediately doomed to defeat.
Republicans can tell themselves that Trump’s popularity growing with their base after the FBI raid is a good thing, but in reality, it reveals that the Republican Party is out of step with the rest of the country, and could have zero chance of winning if Trump is the nominee in 2024.

Whereas Scarborough, THIS time GONGED IT
quote
Joe Scarborough’s Fury Boils Over Regarding GOP Claims Of ‘Planting Evidence’ Against Trump
“And this was just a search warrant.”
It is a refrain heard all over Twitter regarding the reckless and dangerous response from the Right over the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. The level of animosity, the willingness to jump to the most ridiculous conclusions, the gnashing of teeth, and the violent rhetoric – especially the violent rhetoric, it has surprised even those of us who have followed politics and the MAGA movement for years. Yesterday the MAGAs used what can only be called terrorist language in an apparent attempt to scare the administration from continuing its investigation and possibly indicting Trump. This morning Joe Scarborough was the first to respond, “Damn you, Newt Gingrich!”
Many more will follow.
Yesterday, Gingrich said that the FBI could plant evidence at Mar-a-Lago, which was clearly the talking point of the day.?Everyone tied to Trump suggested that the FBI might plant evidence because they searched “alone,” without Trump’s attorneys present. Law enforcement always clears everyone out from a search. Suggesting ahead of time – before we know what was found – that the FBI would plant evidence is identical to asserting that the only way one could lose an election is if it was rigged. Bad results will always be laid at the feet of bad actors.
Gingrich went on to compare the FBI to “wolves” that want to eat the American people.
Scarborough began by indicting the MAGA movement generally, noting the language used and – without citing it – the number of people talking about possibly planting evidence:
“Some of the same people are making dark, ominous threats, now comparing the FBI to Stalin, now suggesting that this is a banana republic, now saying we have to go to war against the FBI. These people hate law and order. I thought they were the party of law and order. They don’t believe in the rule of law when it applies to the most powerful, I guess.”
And then he moved on to Newt specifically and the suggestion that the FBI would plant evidence:
“Newt Gingrich, damn you. You know better?… you are taking another cheap shot at law enforcement officers when they don’t serve your interest, in saying we’d be better off to think of the FBI as wolves? Wolves who want to eat you? Wolves who want to dominate you? You say the FBI has, quote, ‘declared war on the American people?'”
“You have all of these freaks, fools, insurrectionists, and people who were causing violence in America, these people who hate law enforcement, these people who were declaring war against the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, because it doesn’t serve their political purposes for the moment.?They’re declaring war and calling — Newt, you’re calling Christopher Wray a wolf who wants to eat the American — what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you? What a freak you are.”
As said above, the recklessness in the response invites both stochastic terrorist responses along with somewhat more organized asymmetric warfare. The cold Civil War threatens to get hot again, and it looks to many like the MAGA leaders are purposefully pushing the “troops” in that direction in order to frighten the administration from going any further. Meanwhile, American faith in democracy, the rule of law, and tolerance of one another as Americans is eroding to the point where one must ask if there is even one country to save.
The MAGAs and Trump constitute less a political movement than they do a religion, and that religion creates their entire identity and value system. Now that the leader of their church is threatened. They know that the FBI may now have documents that near prove that Trump was traitorous in holding them. They know Trump, they know he is feckless, that he’s reckless, and they damn well know he’s corrupt. They are terrified of what comes next and that explains the reaction, the “And this was just a warrant” refrain.
Planting evidence? Damn you, Newt, and damn all of the politicians spouting the talking point, one so dangerous it could easily lead to another Oklahoma City-type bombing, especially when the violence can be justified by religion. We are only just beginning.
