How can anyone be certain that Trump, Patel,

and the FBI aren’t planting evidence in Bolton’s premises?

I don’t like Bolton. But I don’t trust anyone in Trump’s DOJ.

That everybody knows he has a right to legally have, they will say he doesn’t, they won’t even give a reason they’ll just arrest him.

I’m surprised they’ll even bother with this kind of process at all, they’re coming for all of us and I think they will dispense with the Façade of legalities.

6. The search at Mar-a-Lago. Maga still brings it up. Melanie's panty drawer. Well, they found things in the bedroom.

There were classified documents in there along with his passports. So the search of the drawers in the bedroom was not unreasonable, but Maga is obsessed with panties.

He orchestrated an insurrection and Attorney General did nothing.

When we are all in prison, dead or deported we can look back and see the key notes of how this happened.

Of course obviously it started in 2016 when people on the left wouldn’t stop trashing Hillary Clinton.

8. If I recall correctly, some of the documents on Clinton's private server

were not marked as classified or confidential but were retroactively "determined" to be one of those categories. And I think the line was something like "well she should have known." So there's that possibility as well.
