His complaint that 'it was unannounced' was hilarious.
It's a raid you knob, they don't book it in and ask you to please don't destroy any incriminating evidence in the intervening time until they arrive!

Regarding him secreting documents away etc, when he sent off the boxes of presidential documents to the National Archive, as he was required to do, they found loads of top secret documents that he should never have removed from the White House.
Presumably, he has lots more, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're looking for those and it would surprise me greatly if Trump is clever enough to not just have them scattered around, framed on display, etc.

The whole declassification thing I always feel is nonsense.
There are certain things and events that I think you can decide should be made public, but otherwise classifications are related to the information itself not an arbitrary decision on classification.
I.e. they are related to how much harm/damage the release of the info would have. In the UK one, each level has a description and even a monetary value attached to it, eg. Release of this information would have significant detrimental impact on relations with another country, or harm national defense, etc.

That seems like a tacit admission that he did steal classified documents, rather than a defence for his actions. |

I wish he would just die. Like, I know that he did crimes and should be prosecuted for them. But putting him on trial is going to result in so much bullshit that I almost - almost! - wish it didn't happen. Him dying would probably be the least poisonous outcome. Can you imagine the insanity that would happen if he Epsteined in custody? |

Won't matter, unless he dies in a way that no way could it be anything but natural causes there'll be plenty of his supporters will say he was offed.
He's in fantastic physical condition as his doctor says, just ignore the obesity, clear mental deficiencies, terrible gait and everything else.

18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States
Emphasis mine. Hey, they got Al Capone on tax evasion...

That's weird, according to one of the posts on that megathread it looks like the FBI were looking for that secret document that immediately reinstates Trump as president.

As if he'd hide it if he had something like that, he'd be out shouting it from the rooftops  You know, after taking a couple hours to recover from the climb up there. |

Two things stand out in this for me
One is Trump claiming the FBI broke into a safe of his. If Trump opened it for them per their request I’d still expect him to claim it was broken into. However, if the FBI did indeed have to crack open the safe that also sounds Trumpian, what with him probably thinking if he didn’t open it they’d ignore the deeply incriminating documents within.
Two. This was surely the most cast iron, absolutely certain to get results warrant in US history. The ass covering going on from everyone involved, from the person typing out the document to Wray and Garland signing off on the raid, would have been epic. This is a potential caterer ender - and death sentence, with the crazies and all - even if it directly results in Trump being convicted.
So I firmly believe that the FBI left with evidence that will lead to a conviction

True, even Nixon resigned before it got to that point (anniversary of his resignation today by the way, rather fitting)
Searching a former President's house like that is unprecedented (much like a lot of the shit surrounding him) and the amount of red tape they must have had to wade through (and evidence needed for them to even consider doing this against Trump especially, given the cult he's built) was in all likelihood ridiculous. It's not the sort of thing they would do if they thought there was any chance of it turning up nothing...

Besides, if he's bagged on this he cannot hold or run for any office anymore, at that point it won't matter how much they bleat about "plAnTEd EVidEnCe" with no proof of such.
Of course, then you run into the possibility of a legit civil war over an overfed Cheeto...

"People believe me" isn't evidence of anything aside from those people are thick as pig shit.

I’ve been reading opinions to the effect that the Constitution lays out criteria for running for President and that Congress, with laws, cannot override that. With the current SCOTUS there’s zero chance Trump wouldn’t be cleared to run, even if he was serving a life sentence for child rape and murder |

No way SCOTUS will back Trump to run. Most of the party elite want rid of Trump. They can happily continue with their conservative agenda of taking rights back to the 18th century.
