He truly is. He is the GOAT of grifters for sure. He's got people turning their backs on their own children and siblings, divorcing their spouses, suiciding by cop. And like Margie says at the end of Fargo...all for a little money. It's truly grotesque. It's so sad.
They can just replay the raid scene from Casino.

He could just release a clip of that movie and some would believe it.I think it’s a great idea if I’m advising Trump.

Some allies of former President Donald Trump are urging him to publicly release surveillance footage of FBI agents executing a search warrant on his Mar-a-Lago residence, a proposal that has drawn mixed reaction inside his orbit, CNN has learned.
The CCTV footage has been so closely held that aides to the former President aren't sure if he has seen it in full himself, said a person close to Trump.
"I don't think it's been shared by anyone outside of the attorneys," this person said.
Yet when asked earlier this week by Fox's Sean Hannity whether the footage would be released, Trump's son Eric said, "Absolutely Sean, at the right time. "
Some of Trump's aides and allies have encouraged the former President to make some of the footage available to the public, believing it could send a jolt of energy through the Republican Party's base. One person familiar with the conversations said there have been discussions about featuring the August footage in campaign-style ads, believing the footage could bolster Trump's claims of political persecution.
Another person close to Trump said it's not a matter of if the former President and his team release any of the footage, but when, noting it could be released before he makes a campaign announcement.
Others in Trump's orbit have warned of the potential risks to the former President if he does release the tapes. A second person close to Trump cautioned that releasing the footage could backfire by providing people with a visual understanding of the sheer volume of materials that federal agents seized from his oceanfront residence,including classified materials.
They will swallow that hook whole.
He'll release the footage when he releases his tax returns and healthcare plan.Trump considering releasing surveillance footage of FBI Mar-a-Lago search

This will be about like when he released the Zelenskyy "perfect" phone call transcripts. His fans won't even watch it, but will tell us how badly he was treated.

Trump has lost Alex Jones. He announces today he is off the Trump train: “I am supporting Desantis .. I can look into his eyes on HD video, and I see the real sincerity.”
nah, there are just a heavy concentration of unethical lawyers around Trump. Wonder why?
I heard he's targeting Aug. 35th
Jones made tens of millions lying about murdered children. His minions then harassed the parents of those children non-stop for years. One of Trump's closest advisors. Now Jones is potentially facing jail time. He might need a pardon.Ron Filipkowski

For the average U.S. citizen, even if each and every one of those agents arrived at your house presenting a cookie and a glass of milk as they entered, I'd say it's a safe bet to say that after watching footage of that many people rifling through every inch of your home for 9 hours...even if they dusted as they went along...would leave most people with a firm opinion on the proceedings.I think it’s a great idea if I’m advising Trump.

We should point America to this thread then because it has been explained in simple and plain language about every ten pages.
Really? I didn't know we had so many DOJ/FBI employees and experts in the thread. I will need to review. The reality is the history surrounding Donald Trump for SEVEN years now has been one "story" after another and not one, not one has ended with a solid majority of people agreeing that all the info was produced and a solid consensus produced; not because of party biases but because of a clear lack of supporting evidence from one side or the other.
purposeful ignorance is not the same as thoughtfulness. like verbosity isn't the same as intelligence.

DeSantis is a lot of things including pragmatic and politically savy. One thing he is NOT is sincere and he has a really hard time hiding it. I'm shocked such a skilled analyzer of behavior can't see that.Ron Filipkowski

It is ludicrous to suggest law enforcement will release this information during an active investigation. Trump knows full well that it is not going to happen which is why he is open to release it and then claim "see, they're hiding something".
Remember in 2016 when a video surfaced where Trump bragged about committing a series of sexual assaults and how he did them? The guy Trump bragged to ended up losing his job because he stood there and laughed instead of calling Trump out for bragging about committing a series of sexual assaults. Republicans saw the tape and voted for Trump to be President of the United States. Twice. Probably three times by 2024.
Perfect example of why Trump-supporting Republicans are unfit to hold office. "You want to actually enforce laws? Well, get ready, because we're above the law and we'll prove it to you."

The Payback for Mar-a-Lago Will Be Brutal

Trump derangement syndrome has a curious way of scrambling coherent thought. Witness the Democratic-media complex’s blind insistence the Justice Department raid on Donald Trump’s home is just and necessary—rather than a dangerous move for their party and the republic.
In descending on Mar-a-Lago, the department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation shifted the U.S. into the category of countries whose ruling parties use government power to investigate political rivals. No attorney general has ever signed off on a raid on a former president’s home, in what could be the groundwork for criminal charges.
His hold over his people is really bewildering.
Well, it isn't even the republican party anymore, it's the "Trump party"
Which bunch of Democrats? Chistopher Wray? A federal judge? The agents?
Leverage.
Understatement of the year.
You won't accept a bunch of Democrats and you won't accept any Republicans who eventually say anything bad about Trump because they are RINOs. Former Republican Presidents, Vice-presidents, Presidential candidates, Senators, and Congressmen are all somehow RINOs. Only the guy who switched parties so he could run for emperor and those who support him 100% of the time are "true" Republicans.
when did this happen in this country, where we aren't judged by our actions and deeds, but by our political affiliations?
A lot of people are cowards, and love following a bully.
How about address what I posted and the questions. You are asserting its all democrats...Im asking which democrats are you talking about involved with this. From the director of the FBI, to the agents, to the judge. I mean you have Garland and what else?
With Trump specifically, there’s also a piece where the rules not applying to him is part of his appeal. There’s a strain of American conservatism, especially among working class straight white males, who want rules to apply to everyone else but not to them. Trump is the ideal of this. The first time they voted for Trump for President, putting Hillary Clinton in jail for mishandling classified materials was a central message of that campaign. It was big victory when Congress passed a law upping the stakes and penalties for doing such a thing, and Trump bragged about it when he signed it into law.
I don't know why he did it and don't particularly care, but one plausible theory I heard was that the fact he brought in Kash Patel to help with the process indicates he might have had a particular interest in documents relating to the Russia investigation
Just curious about your thoughts about why dems are scared of Trump (outside of him trying to steal an election and turn his followers to try to prevent the peaceful transition of power that is). He barely won in 2016 helped greatly by the Comey announcement, Hillary's horrible appeal, and 3rd party candidates. The House election was a landslide against Trump 2 years later. The Senate gained like two seats when they should have gained more due to the overwhelming number of dems up for reelection. He got curbstomped in 2020 and single handedly lost the Senate in Georgia.
Agreed. I don't know why Dems would be "terrified" of Trump. That's a right-wing narrative to help fuel the message that the left is out to get him. He lost the popular vote both times, lost the White House, the Senate, and the House. His major accomplishments were appointing conservative judges that were teed up for him by the Federalist Society.
So again…which democrats are behind it? The FBI director? Agents? The judge?
Why do you think the DOJ doesn’t want the affidavit released now?
Is there any chance we can just stop replying to people who have made it beyond clear they aren't interested in serious discussion? It just clutters up the threads.
