I don’t think this has anything to do with J6th at all, but in an information vacuum folks will try fill the space.
Perhaps, although I don't think the PRA angle will garner enough results. Beside there being no attached criminal penalties, it's also a relatively boring story (spiced up by all these unproven espionage claims).
If however they can find evidence that Trump himself did not believe his "stop-the-steal" rhetoric, that will be more problematic and will alienate a large part of his base.

That would make your railing against Hillary while looking to absolve Donny irreconcilable IMO.

Absolve Trump of what, exactly? There is nothing to absolve him of as there is no apparent crime. JFC. You have zero standards, and cannot even see how your own arguments have undermined your position.

I am pretty sure you had an orgasm when you heard about the raid due to your irrational and over the top hatred for Trump and his supporters.

I’m not convinced anything will alienate his base.

I know he said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, but the example that always comes to mind for me was watching a news host asking a pundit what they thought could break the spell… The pundit shot back that the base wouldn’t abandon him even if they caught him on the WH lawn having sex with a live boy or a dead girl.

Can DOJ get away with this? Perhaps. Section 2071 is very broad, targeting anyone who “removes” or “destroys” “any” government record. If you are wondering how this did not apply to Hillary Clinton’s removal of tens of thousands of government-related emails and willful destruction of tens of thousands of others, you are not alone. In any event, Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure permits the seizure not only of evidence of a crime but also of “items illegally possessed.” It seems clear from the context that this phrase is meant to apply to items derived from criminal activity. Literally, though, it is clearly broader than that.

No standards. And this is why Trump won in the first place.

If they don't defeat him now, I would love to see him win just so we can see the deranged in this thread screaming for another 4 years.

I’m not sure how you get to decide if there is or isn’t a crime… I would think the DOJ would be the final arbiter, and we’ll find out what they think if they decide to press charges or not.

When I state there is no apparent crime, there is no evidence in front of us to debate it or not. Nothing. So, I ask again, what does Trump need to be absolved of?

Then, you see, in the rule of law, there is a thing called presumption of innocence until found guilty.

The DOJ would need to make a case, and then test it in a court of law. I am sure they are trying really hard to do so, as they have been since before he was elected.

As I recall, one William Pelham Barr was AG between early 2019 and late 2020, while one Jefferson Beauregard Sessions preceded him from February 2017.

I believe the AG is the head of the DoJ and is a position that requires the sitting potus’ nomination and a Senate confirmation.

Comments about the search start at 3:56, but the whole video is pretty good.

Does Trump having classified material in his home criminal or not?
According to the warrant, it could potentially be criminal under certain circumstances. Possession alone for a man of his stature is not criminal. However, he ignored requests to return the documents thus, is being charged under 18 USC 793 according to some reports.

FBI raids Trumps house and the same day Rietrot is back - coincidence? I think not.

How was guarding Trumps safe in America Rietie?
rietie is so old that he can't come out of momma's basement even if he tried.
