Tonight the FBI raided former President Trump’s Florida residence unannounced. This is an historical and unprecedented action which has horrible portents for our republic. I’ll have more to say about this, and so will RR readers who need a place to record their sentiments as this story develops over the next days. If there is no smoking gun produced by the DoJ in this case, then we have definitely transitioned into a political thugocracy.
You know you fine gentleman and our sole lady Donnie Jezebel, that this all seems eerily familiar. It’s like we all have read the script before and have an accuracy intuitive idea what’s next, based on past performances. Like, watching a Hallmark Christmas Movie. There will be no surprises at the end.
The best canned story line series have the best of the best Bad Guys. The Super Villian.
1). So, in 2016 they came up with Trump and Russian are conspiring to steal the election from Hillary Clinton! Russia, Russia, Russia, Putin and Trump, Putin blackmailing Trump after they STEAL the election. That Putin is one bad hombre. Super duper villian. Russia! Excellent. Has a bit of Cold War spy stuff to punch those old fear buttons.
2) Now it is secret documents on building a NUCLEAR BOMB! NUCLEAR WEAPONS. NUCLEAR INFORMATION. Nuclear this, nuclear that, FBI looking for TOP SECRET NUCLEAR WEAPONS INFORMATION in Melania’s undies.
Nuclear bumps are an excellent villian. Scares the bojeezes out of people.
Oh, the drama, the drama.
BTW, Trump said today that they left Melania’s wardrobe closet ‘a mess’. He was none too happy about it. In a normal FBI raid, the mantra of the agents is, “In and out. In and out.” Get in and out in 3 hours is the goal. Sure, it may go longer, but that’s not the goal. They spent nine hours at Mar-a-logo….in Melania’s underwear drawer, examining and photographing and taking specimens. 9 hours.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Wonder what the penalty for that is?

Trumps latest lame excuse. He’s done:
“As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time. American presidents are no different,” said the statement from Trump’s office on Friday night read out on Fox News.
Trump further claimed that he had a “standing order” to declassify documents “the moment” they left the Oval Office.
“President Trump, in order to prepare for work the next day, often took documents, including classified documents, from the Oval Office to the residence. He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them,” the statement said.

‘New twist in FBI raid: Trump had ‘standing order’ to declassify documents taken to residence’
Former president’s office describe previously undeclared process that led to sensitive documents landing in Mar-O-Lago.
“The president’s detractors in Congress, the DOJ, and the intelligence community are likely to contest the president’s arguments. But officials familiar with national security law said courts generally have held the president’s power to declassify is far-reaching and that the process for how that happens can be more happenstance, something the Bush and Obama executive orders from 2003 and 2009 made clear.
Obama’s executive order no. 13526, issued in 2009, laid out the stringent process all federal officials and agencies needed to follow for declassification, but explicitly exempted the sitting president and vice president from having to follow those procedures.
“Information originated by the incumbent President or the incumbent Vice President; the incumbent President’s White House Staff or the incumbent Vice President’s Staff; committees, commissions, or boards appointed by the incumbent President; or other entities within the Executive Office of the President that solely advise and assist the incumbent President is exempted from the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section,” the
Obama order stated.
Officials said it is likely the FBI will seek to find any officials or witnesses who knew or can confirm there was a “standing order” as described by the Trump statement. But in the end, officials said the president’s declassification powers were sweeping and likely would be viewed as such by the courts.”

An interesting fact has come to bear, making me do a complete reversal of what I once stated.
The first book I bought concerning Hillary E-mailgate was by Greg Garrett. Boy, I had no idea what a ‘just the fact legal mind’ he had. Page after page citing the Espionage laws and the laws covering the National Archives, taking documents outside approved settings, government property, who can look at docs, who you are not allowed to share them with,, etc. I only got 1/3 of the book read and it was clear citing Federal Law that Hillary indeed violated not just one section of Federal law, but scores of them, scores of times.
Learned a lot. For one tiny example, when Hillary had her “lawyer” Cheryl Mills and others go through her records of her off-site private bathroom closet server to sort out the 30,000 “Chelsea wedding and yoga emails” subpoenaed by Congress, it is against the law for Hillary, knowing or unknowingly to let Cheryl simply read those e-Mails to find out which is property of the government and which are not.
Why? Because Cheryl Mills came over from the Clinton Foundation, became Hillary’s lawyer, but did not have the classified status to read classified information. Thus, ALLOWING a non-classified status person to read classified documents/communications is a violation of the Fed Statue. Hillary was in violation, not “lawyers” and friends, because Hillary allowed someone who was not authorized to read classified material. She was facing a minimum of fifty years in prison if the only convicted her on a handful of violations.
Once you get a Espionage Act violation/conviction on your record, you are ineligible to hold Federal Office ever again.
Now, I do not see it that way no more. The COTUS lays out the requirements for running for POTUS. You have to be 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and that is about it. Period. Congress (or the Feds) cannot come along and add to or subtract the requirements as laid out specifically in the Constitution.
Just because Congress passes a Federal Statute saying one is not eligible to hold federal office because of additions to the requirement to run for President, does not make it constitutional. In fact, such a law is unconstitutional.
The courts through the years have made it clear that the Constitution text cannot be altered by laws passed, regs, Executive Orders, what have you.
This, I have changed my tune about Hillary, if convicted, could never be President of the USA.
Folks, it’s only a matter of holding fast to our Constitution, not poltics or biases, that is my bottomline.

Tulsi Gabbard Blasts FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago, Says It ‘Changed the Country That We Grew Up In’
“Attorney General Merrick Garland has already issued a stark warning to anyone who dares to disagree with these tactics that are all hallmarks of a dictatorship,” Gabbard said.
“So, you are not allowed to disagree with the FBI. That is the new message. The security state will label you an extremist for daring to challenge or disagree with the regime’s weaponization of law enforcement,” she added.
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/tulsi-gabbard-blasts-fbi-raid-on-mar-a-lago-says-it-changed-the-country-that-we-grew-up-in/?
To put icing on the cake, Tulsi was the fill in for Tucker Friday night. Both Tulsi and the Crystal Lady Dem POTUS candidate Marianne Williamson, have sought out any outlet that will give them a fair shake and let them speak. So, with very limited options, the go on Fox to get their message heard…by Democrats, lol.
‘Marianne Williamson caught on a hot mic saying ‘conservatives are nicer’ to her than the left’
“ In an audio recording released from an interview last week, Williamson sounded off on the hostility she has faced from the political left.
“What does it say that Fox News is nicer to me than the lefties are? What does it say that the conservatives are nicer to me?… It’s such a bizarre world,” Williamson said. “You know, I’m such a lefty. I mean, I’m a serious lefty, but they’re so… I didn’t think the left was as mean as the right, they are.””

Andrew C McCarthy behind the paywall:
“This is about as close to a general warrant as it gets. There are no limitations, practically speaking, on what they could take. Yes, there is a focus on classified items, but it’s only a slice of the seizure authority.
Given the breadth of the warrant and the timing in connection with other investigative events (the Eastman and Clark searches, the grand jury subpoenas to Pence’s aides and the White House counsel lawyers, and the Rep. Scott Perry search warrant the day after Mar-a-Lago), it seems obvious that this is about Jan. 6 more than anything else.
I’m not saying they ‘re not interested in the classified information — I got some backlash for earlier this week for using the word “pretextual” as if I were saying the warrant was fraudulent or that they didn’t really believe classified intelligence was at issue. All I mean, very simply, is that their closet agenda (making a Jan. 6 case on Trump for conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and to obstruct Congress) is a higher priority for them than the ostensible purposes of the search (to reclaim classified information and, apparently, for amending the Presidential Records Act by executive creativity, so that it is now a criminal statute — unlike the statute that Congress actually enacted).
You are right that it is not clear what the proof is that Trump declassified the documents while he was president. But that’s a defense and the defense is often not clear at this stage of a criminal investigation (I doubt they are going to bring any classified information charges, so this may all be academic). The question raised by your observation is the interesting one, though: What does a president (as opposed to a subordinate official or an executive agency) have to do to declassify a document?
We’ve never litigated that before, and I think it pits the originalist understanding of the Constitution (all power vested in one official, the POTUS, who is bound only by the constitutional limits on his authority and does not have to comply with the executive branch directives he issues to subordinates) against the progressive vision of the Constitution (administrative agencies, including the law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus, which, though technically located in the executive branch, are controlled by regulations and protocols that make them largely independent of the president — who is expected to comply with those regulations when he operates in the relevant area … and therefore would be expected to comply with Executive Orders and regulations that prescribe declassification procedures).
I am in the originalist camp, so I don’t think Trump would have to do much to declassify, but (a) I’m not sure what “much” means (other than that its a question of fact, not law, taking in the totality of the circumstances), (b) I’m not at all sure that the Supreme Court would agree with me, and (c) as with the former Independent Counsel statute, whose passing we do not mourn, I doubt Democrats are going to like living in the world they’re creating once it’s biting them rather than Trump.”
May be a bit too complicated for those who live in a ‘if-then’ black and white world. You know of whom I speak. Entertain us, Court Jester. You be a professional entertainer for sure.

We had a young boy disappear near here a year ago and the FBI reluctantly sent a single agent to poke around for awhile and slink off. No doubt he had some angry parents from the PTA to harass.

Why now, a possibility.
The search warrant was issued Friday, yet the raid on Mar-a-Lago took place on Monday. Two months prior in June, the FBI and members of the Justice Department looked through the boxes of material in Trump storage locker. If nuclear secrets were there in June, why did they wait until August to seize the boxes? Apparently the DOJ and FBI saw no urgency about the docs being held in an unsafe manner or leaving the Palm Beach residence.
Why, why, why now? The DOJ’s own guidelines and the ‘rule book’ look down on conducting such a operation within 90 days of an election. Don’t want to be seen as political maneuvering and it is (was once) important to the Justice Department to be seen as non-biased, non political, and motives as pure as the wind driven snow.
The clock is ticking. The raid was carried out just before the 90 days before an election timeframe kicked in.
For Garland and Wrey to keep mum on an investigation is the way it should be in the true interest of Justice, but call me skeptical after watching Garland and Wrey babbling like they had diarrhea of the mouth concerning the Jan. 6 investigation.
Garland gave his 3 minute 23 second statement about staying mum, defending the integrity of the FBI and then immediately had his Department leak to the Wa Compost stuff about nuclear weapon information.

Re declassifying documents obviously critical to national security. I can’t imagine a president knowingly doing that. But if s/he did, then I suppose one of several agencies would intercede, draw attention to the act, and get Congress involved in a very rapid impeachment process while returning the documents into a secure chain of custody. That’s just my opinion since nothing like this has ever happened before. IMHO the president should only declassify through a known and deliberate process that involves multiple official parties being informed and offering recorded counsel on the matter. What Trump actually did to which documents is yet TBD.
