Yet more Trump obstructionism.
Also, a judge appointed by him will be judging him. Talk about conflicts of interest.

.His experience as a former president is also crucial. More so, IMHO.Obama has a law degree and security clearance, right?
How about a panel of former presidents? Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Carter. How about having them decide what constitutes treason on the part of a former president?

And I don't think we'll see a fat orange man with yellow hair on any roofs anytime soon.I believe 97 year old Jimmy Carter will be busy shingling a roof.
Why are you defending Trump?Congratulations. You are now in the running for this year's Double Down Gaslighting Award. You'll have tough competition from the Ukraine war thread, but we're pulling for you.
none of them? are you sure?My point is that no matter who the special master is, they're volunteering to never leave the country unescorted ever again and live the rest of their life with their phones tapped.Not even Putin is going to say “perfectly okay to return this TS/SCI document to this fine, responsible gentleman”. It’s more likely going to be Robert Mueller than Putin anyhow.
It's creating a single, concentrated holder, and reader of that entire pile of secrets. There are vanishingly few people qualified and none of them are friendly to Trump at all.
People... Friendly to someone who committed that breach, having executed that egregious failure of trust... Being qualified to see all of.tje material involved the beach?none of them? are you sure?My point is that no matter who the special master is, they're volunteering to never leave the country unescorted ever again and live the rest of their life with their phones tapped.Not even Putin is going to say “perfectly okay to return this TS/SCI document to this fine, responsible gentleman”.

You missed the "so". When playing the "so" game, you're meant to start your non sequiturs with "so".Why are you defending Trump?Congratulations.

Also (and this is my opinion) Merrick Garland having his supreme court nomination rejected by the republican party convicting their god Emporer won't be a good fit for the unbias law enforcement image he'd want to convey.
Uh … in the eyes of whom exactly?convicting their god Emporer won't be a good fit for the unbias law enforcement image
I think he means it'll be on Garland's mind. Garland has been running an uber-clean ship. And this level of investigation is pretty unusual. However, because he has been running things so clean, it will be near impossible for the GOP to say this was a premeditated hit job on them.Uh … in the eyes of whom exactly?convicting their god Emporer won't be a good fit for the unbias law enforcement image
Trumpsucking MAGATs?
Fuck ‘em. Enough with the concessions.
Reuters said:Some of the documents are so restricted that even some of the Biden administration's senior-most national security officials were not authorized to review them, the Post said.
Link (gifted)Per the Washington Post, Material on foreign nation's nuclear capabilities seized at Trump's Mar-a-Lago. And Trump claims that it is okay that he had it at his home office because he declassified it. Jesus H. Fucking Christ.

It was in this last batch of government secrets, the people familiar with the matter said, that the information about a foreign government’s nuclear-defense readiness was found. These people did not identify the foreign government in question, say where at Mar-a-Lago the document was found or offer additional details about one of the Justice Department’s most sensitive national security investigations.
Don’t overestimate the influence of facts over what Republicans can say.it will be near impossible for the GOP to say this was a premeditated hit job on them.
This is extraordinarily frightening. I can't even imagine how he was able to remove this material from secure locations without pushback from those charged with guarding it. I have acquaintances in the Secret Service and friends/family in military positions where they handle this type of documentation, and after speaking with one of them about this they are terrified that it has been shared with people who should under no circumstances have access to it.Link (gifted)Per the Washington Post, Material on foreign nation's nuclear capabilities seized at Trump's Mar-a-Lago.

This is stuff the US doesn't want others knowing we have. My guess, NK or Israel. If Israel, he better watch his back.

It might explain why Jared Kushner got a 2 billion dollar investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, months after Trump left office, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal.This is extraordinarily frightening.

And yes, if it is Israel he may not have much time to play coverup. They are hard core about security breaches, and to be completely honest I would not blame them at all for taking action.
