Congrats, democrats! Astonishingly well played . . .

[as seen on tv]

I have to apologize. For more than a year I have mocked and derided the easter bunnies and other childlike advisors in the Westeros Wing. They all too often come across as refugees from the film “Idocracy”, lacking even the most basic understanding of Game of Thrones politics (“You either win or you die”).

All that was left in the dust last week when the FBI conducted a stunning “unannounced” raid on Trump's Florida home, with media present and cameras rolling.

Ahem . . . let's go over the checklist for this reality TV scene:

1. Dozens of heavily armed SWAT team members? Check.
2. Nobody actually home, because authorities made certain the Trumps were in NYC for the weekend? Check!
3. Forced entry? Check
4. The best GS13 safecrackers government money can buy? Check!

I honestly don't know what was in Trump's safe. If it WAS “nuclear secrets”, or highly classified intelligence info, our former President should already be in jail. A week has now passed, and here's what we still don't know, and what doesn't add up.

1. Who the “safe leaker” was. Of course, since the FBI hasn't even been able to discover who leaked those draft SCOTUS opinions, so I'm not holding my breath on this oner. Remember, the FBI is always COMPLETELY above partisan politics, even though it's part of the Department of Justice, headed by ab Attorney General who is a political appointee of the president of the year appointee.
   
2. The documents were supposedly already declassified. But then again, maybe they weren't. But if they WERE declassified, who is it that's now claiming the President doesn't even have this sort of authority, while he was still in office? If he doesn't have the authority, why was no legal challenge to the declassification ever made prior to the “unannounced" FBI raid? My head is spinning.
   
3. Trump's lawyer “certified” - in a written document, in June – that all classified documents had been returned in January, as per the subpoena. If this is a false certification, why hasn't this attorney been charged as a coconspirator, or an accomplice after the fact?
   
4. What documents were actually recovered last week? They were either marked top secret, or they weren't, Mr. Garland. It's easy enough to tell. Stop whining about the FBI raiding agents being possibly being identified and “put at risk”. Isn't the primary question what was seized?'
   
5. The timing of this certainly smells bad. We just had months and months of “January 6th hearings, which petered out with no Trump charges. Just like the 4 years of “Russian Collusion” senate investigations. Whenever a partisan political TV show is cancelled, there always seems to be another one already green lighted and scripted to fill the free time slot, doesn't there?

In Hollywood movieland, when the "dark forces "want to discredit someone, they gin up fake charges of Pedophilia. In Washington, which is apparently now the fantasy world of "Dark Brandon", they seem to be fixated on lodging “national security” accusations. Trump having nuclear secrets in his wall safe makes as compelling a plotline as Russian Collusion, Pedophilia, dalliances with Porn stars, tax cheating, golf cheating, real estate cheating, covid mask cheating , . . .

I repeat – if the evidence is real, and Trump DID put our national security at risk, arrest and arraign him at once!! I'd do it in a heartbeat myself.

Don't try and drag this out until after the November elections, just to hold onto congress.

In the Game of Thrones, either your win or you die.

Trump was watching the search.... he had a bird's eye view of the search being conducted.

Im not buying into the "planted evidence" claim without proof. Im also not buying into the "Trump selling nuclear secrets" claim without proof.

All we have so far is video of forced entry that looks like an episode of Law and Order" .

I"ve seen no video of a forced entry. Got a picture of a broken door? I'd bet not. Trump's lawyer was there....

I'm waiting for Trump to be charged for possession of those records. It is not possible for them to have been declassified without a paper trail changing the classification.

Trump will have to explain what he had in mind when they were removed from the White House. I'd like to know who packed those boxes and who told them what to take.

The January 6 hearings did not “peter out” … Trump is still VERY likely to face charges due to his conduct then. But his other crimes happen to be catching up with him first. You will be the first to cry in outrage that Trump’s lawyer being charged came as an unaccountable bolt from the blue.

The timing is actually quite inconvenient for the Democrats in that it overshadows a major legislative victory and a huge improvement in economic news. Suggesting that partisan politics doesn’t play a leading role in determining the pace of the investigations.

So when do we shear Trump's remaining hairs, send him on a march of shame through the streets of Capitol while pelting him with garbage ?
