If you're going with someone this fair minded why not go ahead and name Hillary?
They’re going to have a hard time finding someone given the current hyper partisanship.
Do you know if you have ever heard of the FBI raiding the home of a current president's likely next opponent?
Maybe they'll secure them and release them in 50 years like the Kennedy assasination records. Oh wait they still haven't been released.
Reasonable reply - except it is also unprecedented (as far as we know) for the FBI to try to remove a president and then work actively to prevent his re-election .
It is unprecedented to have an evil, jerk, cult leader and potential criminal as president and then the nerve to try run again.
Agree, but Brandon seems determined to run again despite numerous polls showing his own party doesn't want him to.
Seems like a straightforward case.
There are loads of legal experts that have questioned most of her ruling. Does this look like somebody that should have gotten a lifetime appointment as a judge? This to me looks like the politicization of the judicial system. Her only qualification was her membership in the Federalist Society and Trump and his lackeys have looked to bring cases to her in other situations as she is a "friendly" in a one-judge district. Would that be the definition of the "swamp" you guys keep talking about?
Much more so than the newest Supreme Court Justice, who Brandon made clear during his basement campaign would be an affirmative action hire rather than one based on talent. That's one promise he kept.
Well said, J-Mac... but why the delay on the screen name change?
By this, are you saying it was fine for the FBI to scoop up medical records, passports and so forth?
No. It’s part of a big district. Fort pierce through the Florida Keys is the Southern District of Florida judicial draw pool.
Potentially. Potentially not. For instance, a passport could help inform whether a particular subject was physically in the country when potential criminal activity took place. That’s purely an example, not based on the probable cause affidavit, which none of us have read the substance of.
Trump never goes anywhere without plenty of press and attention.
But there’s no reason for a judge to include classified documents in the material to be reviewed by a magistrate. Trump has no legal rights to those documents. How are you going to find a special master that has clearance to review the documents and one who is agreeable to both sides? Can’t trump just object to the special master over and over ?
This is completely theoretical, but say he flew in through Los Angeles at 9:00 am on the morning the docs were purportedly compiled and attested to. Evidence of travel can be helpful.
The Special Master does not have to be agreeable to both sides. The Special Master has to be agreeable to the judge.
Bob is saying Trump has no legal rights to those docs, but that has yet to be determined.
Yet to be determined. The Special would decide if there’s anything privileged, etc and return them.
Maybe...unless the appeal is really intended to slow the process down so that FBI/DOJ corruption is not revealed until after the midterms, not that any thinking person would trust those entities after all the corruption that has been proven in the recent past.
Lol. That’s quite a theory and not the case.
If any classified documents were stored with his personal records or documents, as is alleged by DOJ, it proves trump was aware of them and can’t blame their existence at MAR was somebody else’s fault. For example, his passports were in the same desk drawer as his passports.
Is there an appeal process for who the judge chooses? I keep reading that it will be difficult to choose a special master that is agreeable to both sides. Why would it matter considering the judge is making the decision?
Yes; it can be appealed, but the judge is aware of that possibility and will likely appoint someone who will not be successfully appealed.
No legal right to the classified documents. Get it right……and why are you so freaking obsessed with me? I have a wife.
I would hope so…….because it’s almost guaranteed the trump team will not approve.
That would be pretty darn circumstantial. Would need to prove that no one—no one else but Trump had access to the storage area containing his personal records.
