THE BIG ONE?

The warrant that allowed the FBI to search the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home reveals an unprecedented prosecution under the Espionage Act might lie ahead.

Another real possibility...CWII

See my tagline, which I've had since election day, November 2000.

Never saw a need to change it, and today it's more relevant than ever.

That little prick Garland will pimp this crap just long enough to get the commie RATS through the November elections. That’s the way the RAT b*tches work. Once the election is over, every thing is immediately forgotten and dropped. Unfortunately, the ignorant morons who inhabit this country fall for it EVERY DAMN TIME.

The “We must put Trump in prison no matter what and we won’t stop until we do!” folks are going to get Trump re-elected and then stand around looking stupid wondering how it happened.

Hillary violated the espionage act 110 times and nothing happened to her and she wasn’t even President. This is yet again the Marxist domestic enemies trying to charge Trump with stuff their own Marxist leaders have done themselves. For example impeaching Trump by claiming he strong armed the President of the Ukraine. Well we have Joe Biden ADMITTING to doing just that yet they installed Biden into office through he election fraud coup.

Just think, this whole espionage crap started by a statement in the Wash/Post. Here we go again. If there were docs in the boxes, it was put there by the FBI. They were supposedly in the home for 9 hrs. with no Prez Trump representation.

This was the goal keep Trump out of Office and then try to erase him from history as a “failed President.” He must be kept from going after the truth. We are living in a Communist Chinese satrap. The real president is Xi of China.

"...[t]here is not a Grand Jury in this country that would indict President Trump."

You seriously believe that when the District of Columbia exists?

About three weeks ago.

I doubt there would ever be a trial.

One has to look back to the Caspar Weinberger indictment over Iran-Contra that was issues four days before the 1992 Presidential election, despite the Iran-Contra hearings having happened in 1987.

On December 11, 1992, a federal judge threw out the indictment for being beyond the statute of limitations. Indicting past the statute of limitations is clearly prosecutorial misconduct, but the intended political damage was already done when Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush for President.

The Democrats are repeating that playbook today. They will try to indict President Trump before the mid-term elections, and then hope that the indictment will move independent and undecided Republicans to vote for the Democrats to keep the House and the Senate.

The indictments will likely be thrown out in January after the mid-term elections, but Democrats will hope that the political fallout will be in their favor, because it's all they have left to play.

And that Independent Council was Lawrence Walsh, who was the Deputy Attorney General under President Eisenhower after being appointed as a Judge in the now-infamous Southern District of New York.

Walsh was a Democrat who served in Republican administrations, who dropped out of public life after the Weinberger indictments.

He died on March 19, 2014 at age 102. In his obituary story, the New York Times wrote:

After the trials of the major figures, Mr. Walsh focused on individuals suspected of having assisted or having falsely denied knowledge of Iran-contra activities, leading to criminal charges against 10 people. Seven were convicted. One CIA official’s case was dismissed on national security grounds, and Bush, who had been Reagan’s vice president at the time of the scandal, pardoned two defendants before their trials.

“By then,” John B. Judis wrote in the New York Times in 1997, “Walsh had become a Lear figure, roaming the moors of Washington, railing privately against Bush, the Senate minority leader, Bob Dole, and his other detractors.”

It sounds like Walsh had become a typical Democrat apparatchik who was called to play his part and then cast aside.

It's very,very easy for me to imagine DJT being indicted by the Feds. It's just as easy for me to imagine officials in New York and Georgia indicting him. Trump Derangement Syndrome is so strong in various people in positions of authority (and at Rat Party Headquarters) that I,personally,believe that it's not just possible but inevitable.Partcularly since this Stasi-like raid.

When you close the search off entirely to any witness, it’s very easy to plant evidence, to claim improper handling by charging that docs were found out in the open, etc. It’s a rerun of the tactics used by dem elections officials who denied any kind of on scene oversight of their vote counting, after kicking everyone out who wasn’t in on the crimes, and physically blocking any view from outside. There’s no reason to think the FBPS (Fed Bu of Panty Sniffers) was any more honest than those criminals rigging the election.

CWII is impossible, unnecessary, impracticable, and completely wrong terminology.
People vs the govt is revolution.
In our case devolution.

1) Dox every fed and media employee, (but i repeat myself) Then Patriots can work their magic.
2) Stop paying taxes. Starve the beast.

We did not vote our way into this mess,
so we cant vote our way out.
Fuck the oath breakers. They have broken the social contract.

“When did this - no one is above the law - policy start exactly?”

Obviously, Pelosi, et al, left off an important but unspoken part of this statement.

No one is above the law... and we’re the law.
