Republicans prove how lawless and unfit they are for public office by attacking the FBI & DOJ for doing their jobs, while promoting BASELESS partisan conspiracy theories.

 

Republicans throw ‘absolute fit’ that DOJ isn’t biased enough in their favor

Alicia Menendez looks at the litany of ways Donald Trump has been treated with deference by the DOJ special counsel and given every accommodation possible while the Trump-appointed prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case has maintained meticulous independence from Merrick Garland and the Biden administration, but still Republicans were livid that the Justice Department did not show greater bias toward the anti-Biden narrative they’ve been pushing with Rupert Murdoch media outlets to their voting base.

GOP Called Out For Backing SCOTUS Decisions, Decrying Mar-a-Lago FBI Search

The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago has caused a right wing freakout. “They don’t complain when the judiciary overturns Roe v. Wade, and overturns gun laws in New York,” former U.S. Senator Doug Jones tells The ReidOut. “But let them complain when a search warrant was issued? The hypocrisy is pretty stunning.”

Far-Right Extremists Are Violently Threatening the Trump Search-Warrant Judge

“Let’s find out if he has children… where they go to school, where they live… EVERYTHING,” one person wrote on a message board where the judge’s address was posted.

Per the above article: “Far-right extremists on pro-Donald Trump message boards and social networks are making violent, antisemitic threats against the judge who reportedly signed the warrant that allowed the FBI to search the former president’s Mar-a-Lago property in Florida.

Multiple members of these toxic online communities are even posting what appears to be Judge Bruce Reinhart’s home address, phone numbers, and names of his family members alongside threats of extreme violence.

“This is the piece of shit judge who approved FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago,” a user wrote on the pro-Trump message board formerly known as TheDonald. “I see a rope around his neck.”

Responding, another user wrote: “Idgaf [I don’t give a fuck] anymore. Name? Address? Put that shit all up on here.” Moments later, a different member replied with what appears to be Reinhart’s current address, phone numbers, previous addresses, and names of possible relatives.

In another post on the same message board, one user commented, “Let’s find out if he has children….where they go to school, where they live…EVERYTHING.”

These threats of violence and antisemitic slurs on a range of platforms, including 4chan, Telegram, Gettr, Gab, and Trump’s own platforms called Truth Social, were first uncovered by Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization that conducts public-interest investigations.

“The threats against Judge Reinhart in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago raid are significant,” Daniel J. Jones, founder of Advance Democracy, told VICE News. “In addition to the antisemitic and violent slurs, we’re seeing his address and other personal information being shared online—with the implied or explicit purpose of ‘real-life’ action.”

A message board where a number of these threats were posted also happens to be the same one where many of those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot posted threats of violence in the lead-up to Jan. 6.”

 

LAWLESS Republicans Rush to Trump’s defense after FBI executes search warrant at Mar-a-Lago

Top Republicans are rushing to former President Donald Trump’s defense after the FBI executed a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as part of an investigation into the handling of potentially classified material.

 

The GOP’s Turn To Extremism Began Long Before Trump

It’s easy to think of Trump as the reason for his party’s embrace of extremism. But as Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank points out in his new book, that pivot toward extremism is decades in the making.

 

Rand Paul calls for repeal of Espionage Act amid DOJ investigation into Trump taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago

The DOJ is investigating if Donald Trump broke the Espionage Act. But Rand Paul, a GOP senator, wants it repealed, he said Saturday.

LAWLESS Republican Rand Paul calls for repeal of Espionage Act amid DOJ investigation into Trump taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago

Per the above article; “Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky called for the repeal of the Espionage Act after it was revealed that the Justice Department is investigating if former President Donald Trump potentially violated the Act.

Paul shared a link to a 2019 article by Jacob Hornberger, a former Libertarian presidential candidate and founder of the Future of Freedom Foundation, which called the Espionage Act a “tyrannical law.”

A key facet of the act — Section 793 — is concerned with “gathering, transmitting or losing defense information,” which relates to any document relating to national defense that “through gross negligence” was “illegally removed from its proper place of custody … to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed.”

Earlier this week, federal investigators took away numerous boxes of documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. According to an unsealed search warrant and an accompanying property receipt, the FBI seized 11 classified documents, including some marked top secret.

In a statement released Friday, Trump didn’t deny a report by The Washington Post that said he took nuclear documents to Mar-a-Lago.

The DOJ is now investigating if Trump violated Section 793 of the Espionage Act and potentially broke two other laws, according to the warrant unsealed by the department on Friday.

A conviction under the Espionage Act carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison.

Charles Booker, a Democrat Senate candidate who will face Paul in the general election, described the call for the repeal of the act as “shameful.”

“Rand Paul is now calling to repeal the Espionage Act after the world learned Donald Trump is under investigation for violating it,” Booker tweeted on Saturday night. “When I am elected to the Senate, you will never have to question my loyalty to our country.”

FBI Agents Raids Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Home and Seized Top-secret Documents

 

FBI search warrant reveals agents seized top-secret documents in raid of Trump’s home

• The FBI seized multiple sets of documents marked top secret from former President Donald Trump’s resort home Mar-a-Lago, according to a search warrant unsealed Friday.
• The warrant directed agents to seize all documents, “fruits of crime” and other items “illegally possessed” in violation of three laws related to handling of government documents.

‘Stunning’: Ex-official who investigated Clinton reacts to documents found in Trump’s home

David Laufman, the former chief of the Department of Justice’s counterintelligence division who investigated Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified documents, discusses the FBI’s search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

 

FBI executes search warrant at Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago

A legal barrier has been broken – a maiden legal voyage has been taken:
the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of former President Donald Trump. This is a historic law enforcement move by the Department of Justice.

Importantly, in order to obtain a search warrant for Trump’s home, a federal judge had to have concluded that there was probable cause to believe there is evidence of federal crimes on the property of Mar-a-Lago.

This video discusses what we know about this monumental development, what we don’t know, and what the DOJ should now do on the transparency front to promote a full and accurate understanding of the state of the criminal investigation that prompted today’s search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

 

The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s crimes, and Kevin McCarthy’s political thuggery

One day after a judicially authorized search warrant was executed at Trump’s home/resort in Florida, Kevin McCarthy took to the airwaves, threatening Merrick Garland that he better “preserve documents” and “clear his calendar” for the endless oversight hearings McCarthy intends to hold if the Republicans take control of the House of Representative after the midterm elections.

The fact of the matter is, McCarthy has no earthly idea what the evidence is supporting the Mar-a-Lago search warrants. Still, McCarthy claims that Garland has “politicized” and “weaponized” the Department of Justice, and McCarthy promises payback. McCarthy’s attempt to assist Trump in avoiding accountability for his crimes feels . . . accessory-after-the-fact-ish. (see 18 US Code, section 3).
