Judge Who Signed Trump Warrant Recused Himself From Clinton Lawsuit

[RDKirk]

It doesn't look good. If you're going after a former President who still has a strong following it seems like you would be careful to avoid the appearance of bias.

No, you just make sure you have all your i's dotted and your t's crossed.

 

[Pommer]

Looks like it got fixed.

I dunno about you but I’d be fine with “President [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]” to refer to the 45th POTUS

Yea, the last thing we need is unhinged armed Trump Supporters attacking the FBI.

Oh, wait.

The point you keep ignoring--and I've pointed this out to you--is that it actually doesn't matter if the documents are classified. Trump was not supposed to take any documents away from the White House. None of them belongs to him. They are all government property, and under the law he was not permitted to take them.

Well presidents do take things with them, are you saying he should pay for the cost of the paper? I guess technically you are right but it is a minor cost. Remember when the Clintons took all of that expensive china and furniture? Now that was a significant dollar amount. Are you saying you should prosecute Trump for the paper but not the Clintons? Here, I pulled an article from 2001:

"After they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left, the Clintons announced last week that they would pay for $86,000 worth of gifts, or nearly half the amount.
Their latest decision to send back $28,000 in gifts brings to$114,000 the value of items the Clintons have either decided to pay for or return."

They crossed that line a long time ago.

 

[Nithavela]

Did I miss a rule change or announcement somewhere? Is there a reason why the name of the former president being replaced by the "bless and do not curse" tags?

I can think of a few.

We have a hard left faction subverting the U.S. Constitution and trying to destroy our Republic by removing equal treatment under the law--the very cornerstone of our government. They have broken the laws, allowed threats against our Supreme Court justices which are clearly in violation of the law, claimed the southern border is closed while cartels now control the border and move Chinese drugs and sex trafficking into the U.S., and subjugate by race and political affiliations. So they allow criminals to go loose as long as they are in a group friendly to the left and are trying to take over the schools just like Russia and China to teach the children to be loyal to the state rather than their parents. They tell the kids not to tell the parents what is going on. They want to stop the people from being able to vote for a man who stands up to the corruption. I know who the Americans are and who the anti-Americans are.

Please show me in your response where it directly responds to my statement. There is no need for more excuses.

 

[Valletta]

Are those his to take? What is the standard for keeping gifts, $50? Are any of those worth more than that?

Right, they returned what they were not allowed to keep. No raid necessary.
Deft deflecting, though.

I get a kick out of whataboutism arguments. They remind me of when I was a kid and I wanted to do something or have something against my parent's rules.
My arguments were usually but ALL my friends are going or ALL my friends have one. It didn't work for me either.

 

[DaisyDay]

Thanks for pointing it out but we already knew how biased the media were against Trump

Thanks for once again turning a blind eye to evidence of the Trump family’s using Don Sr.’s position to cash in. Thanks for continuing to excuse Trump while excoriating Biden. You never disappoint.

Just pointing out the double standard of justice in this country. They stole Trump's passports, is Garland being charged?

They didn't STEAL his passports, they temporarily confiscated them. Boo Hoo.

All you are doing is highlighting your own double standards.

I didn't say anything about Biden. And what evidence? If you have evidence please give it to the DOJ so Trump can't run again. I keep waiting for something to stop him.

No no. You see the non existent documents that the FBI planted that Trump declassified with his mind powers because he had to pack in a hurry were mixed in with his passports so the FBI had to grab the privileged information. Pointing out the double standard my left foot.

 

[ruthiesea]

The documents were declassified, Hillary's case was the opposite--she was caught with TOP SECRET information. SCI merely means it is compartmentalized information. They need to return what they seized from President Trump and his family.

Actually, she wasn’t. She was accused of using her private email server for official business. In the end it was found that, while she may have broken some rules, she did not break the law.

 

[BPPLEE]

No no. You see the non existent documents that the FBI planted that Trump declassified with his mind powers because he had to pack in a hurry were mixed in with his passports so the FBI had to grab the privileged information. Pointing out the double standard my left foot.

Actually the FBI had a search warrant so broad in its scope that they could seize anything. So much for Garland's speech about searches being narrow in scope.

That is contrary to fact. Did you even read the warrant?
