The griddle is about as sizzlin hot, TC, as it can get. I speak grateful grateful grateful that it’s cast iron and impenetrable.

Thank you for all details on the emerging script. Knowledge is power. Lies are merely cheap bravado.

Wonder who the mole is? trump must be hurling ketchup and god knows what else onto the walls of Mar A Lardbutt and frothing at the mouth figuring out who that is. Knowledge that precise of where the evidence was stored means someone within trump’s innermost circle is the source…trying to save their ass in a deal?

This is a flashpoint. Yikes! The Republicans made lies (the evidence was planted) and accusations (the DOJ and FBI have been “politicized”) and damned lies “It’s a witch hunt by terrible people” FORCING a response that they will NEVER accept but will only twist to foment the beast that is their rabid, hateful base. Stay safe and out of their way … if lawmakers need extra protection, it should be given to them. Remember, the J6 committee is still working … still collecting evidence… they are surely feeling the wheels of justice grinding. Of course they’re going to scream unfair. Hypocrites don’t recognize irony.

What a moron-signs into law the very thing that's gonna put the nails in his coffin. Me, I think Meadows might be trying to save his ass.

The idea that this search (not a raid) could be performed in a manner or at a time that wouldn't provide a "backfire" - is just silly fantasy. The outrage of the radical gang surrounding TFG is completely predictable. Name one way that the boxes could have been retrieved without MJT screaming in response "Defund the FBI!" We worry too much about what people will "think" when we do the right thing. The wingnuts don't!

We worry too much about behavior we can't control. Fools will be fools and idiots will be idiots. And there will always be sheep and lemmings ready to run off the cliff when prompted to.

The DOJ handled this beautifully. The guilty parties are squirming. The cult is headed into a spiral dive as more and more of it's crew turn the monster in.

Please remember that this blowhard of a former President has spent a lifetime hurting others. Destroying careers. Humiliating. Cheating. Stealing. The number of people TFG has pissed off over the decades is incalculable. Karma, karma, karma.

The DOJ is being professional. TFG is being predictably childish and now...frightened. His statements will get worse and worse. There will be violence. People will be hurt. Let's put the blame where it belongs. On TFG and and the pond scum who have enabled him and given him a pass on every important violation of law and his acts of indecency. And then...there is plenty of blame for those who continue to vote for candidates who LIE every day.

If the radical whackos actually dare to bring guns to the streets, it won't go well for them. The government has more and bigger guns. What are they thinking? Oh, I forgot. They don't think. They react based on cues from the Neo-Nazis who don't care who they sacrifice.

I smile in satisfaction when they hoist themselves on their own petards--the 2018 law he hoped would nail Hilary has come back to bite him. Sometimes the world rights itself!

(And, I bet the inside source at Mar-a-Lago is a woman.)

WOW TC. Yep the griddle is hot (thanks Christine) and there is an inside source! Thanks for the latest TC. Keep it coming.

To quote Christine, “This is SIZZLIN’”.

There is someone inside. Let the Republqans contort themselves all they want. This isn’t “politics” (well, it would be if the tables were turned, because the Republiqans are the ones who operate like that).

As much of a circus as this has become kudos to the FBI for denying fodder for Faux. And cheers to the archivists that made it happen. Still not one apologist has made the case he did nothing wrong. And I’m still waiting for TFG to disclose the subpoena and inventory.

I sure hope that this is the fatal blow we've been counting on... (but who is the source?) guesses please!
