And you don’t care anything about what TFG did, amirite? |
ok. I can't wait to read the history books written one, two or three decades from now. (I'll be dead in 40 years i assume). |
Light sunday morning reading. This MAL search affidavit is interesting. Also, I think FPOTUS is funny and should not be used, ever again, to refer to any other person. F that particular fpotus |
| Another incompetent legal filing from the Trump team last night. They want a special master to review for executive privilege (no mention of any AC privilege), which doesn't make any sense since the FBI is part of the executive and ignores the PRA requirement that disputes under the PRA have be filed in DC. Also no motion to expedite and they still have not served the US. Unless the judge helps them out, they'll still be briefing this in November. |
Worst. Lawyers. Ever. |
| Can someone give the TLDR update on the redactions? My life circumstances don’t allow me to spend hours getting details. |
Oh do tell us about these FBI oversteps. |
1. The only names in the doc are Kash Patel and the judges. 2. The agent, who is not named, lists his credentials and explains what the different acronyms mean, which is interesting. 3. It describes, in detail, the work done to get the docs before the FBI went and got them. 4. Oh, it has one letter from a Dumptruck lawyer basically saying that TFG has something he doesn't and tries to politicize what is, actually, criminal activity. 5. It goes through the different laws probably broken and location of where things can be found. 6. Of note, there was a "special master" ish type agent who searched Office 45. Things found there will be looked at by this team 3 things will happen to possibly AC privilege: ask a judge, ask the client, and one of thing I didn't really understand (non lawyer) Read it! It won't take long. It's 38 pages and took me about 20 min b/c of the pages of black out. |

Jeez. I had read about the fact that we had more informants than usual being compromised. Do you really think it’s connected to Trump? If so, no wonder even the cautious Garland had to act. What are republican (members of congress) saying now? I know they were all “FBI overreach” at the beginning but haven’t heard anything recently. |
| This is sadly not surprising. |
Can Congress or the White House really be trusted with this kind of information? |
We need more information on this. |
No we can’t. Conservatives will sell or give this type of information to our enemies. Anything to own the libs.
|
The active White House always has limited need-to-know access to this kind of information, stuff like this is in the PDB. Only the Gang of 8 in Congress has access to it - leadership and heads of the intelligence committees of both parties in both houses. They’ve asked for this to be unredacted for them but hasn’t happened yet. |
