Damn! Espionage Act and Obstruction of Justice

One document was labeled “Info re: President of France.” Which is weird because if we remember back on January 6th French Intelligence was "of the opinion" that internal security personnel helped the insurrectionists. My theory on that was that France was / is spying on US and knew more than we did about our own institutions.

It'd be funny if the "Deep State" was actually French controlled, but I still think my definition is more accurate than The Right's vague and fluid definition.

As my friend group and many others have said "Sounds great but let's wait to see if there are any actual consequences".

Really interesting point about French intelligence. Never really hear about other intel services but the Dutch knew about the DNC hacks and other Russia shenanigans. Think they're still in it for revenge over MH-17 beyond merely just doing good work.

Just imagine the sort of porn they found. I bet he had millions of photos of himself batting off. And exactly what is in the "binder of photos"? Is that official oval office porn, or do they keep state secrets in photo albums like wedding photos?

Oh dear. Kinda don't want to imagine. Just like anyone who brings up the alleged 'pee tape'. I don't want to see that.

From what all the spooks/former spooks on Twitter say, there's usually no digital version of any of this stuff. They're hard copies that aren't supposed to leave the secure areas.

As to what could be picked up, it's possible porn could fall under it.

From the warrant:

ATTACHMENT A

Property to be searched

The premises to be searched, 1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480, is further
described as a resort, club, and residence located near the intersection of Southern Blvd and S
Ocean Bl v d. It is described as a mansion with approximately 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, on a
17- acre estate. The locations to be searched include the " 45 Office," all storage rooms, and all
other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff
and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including a ll structures or buildings on the
estate. It does not include areas curren tl y (i.e., at the time of the search) being occupied, rented,
or used by third parties (such as Mar-a-Largo Members) and not otherwise used or available to be
used by FPOTUS and his staff, such as private guest suites.

ATTACHMENT B

Property to be seized

All physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or
other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 793, 2 071 , or 1519, including the
following:

a. Any physical documents with classification markings, along with any
containers/boxes (including any other contents) in which such documents are located, as
well as any other containers/boxes that are collectively stored or found together with the
aforementioned documents and containers/boxes;

b. Information, including communications in any form, regarding the
retrieval, storage, or transmission of national defense information or classified material;

c. Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January
20, 2017, and January 20, 2021; or

d. Any evidence of the knowing alteration, destruction, or concealment of
any government and/or Presidential Record s, or of any documents with classification
markings.


Kurt - Not sure about the veracity of these claims but this writer pointed out that the Macron stuff is a subset of the Roger Stone clemency doc. It seems that one of Stone's protege's might have leaked some stuff about Macron but I don't know enough about that situation to add any thing.

I'm sure The Donald will weather this storm just like he has in the past. You see lil, Snarkaroonie, the looney left can't have The Donald run again as they know he will win and they can't have that. No sirrie! So they pull this kinda shit.

Anyway have you decided on how you will top yourself in 2024? Jump off a bridge? Throw yourself in front of a train? I hear overdosing on meth or opioids is the way to go these days. Must be with so many people doin it

Even if he was just as popular now as he was in 2016, you realize that:

1. He lost the 2020 election (unless you are nutball who believes otherwise, then really, there is not much one can do to quash a delusion)
2. Since 2021 the death rate among the unvaxed has been staggering and it is now at the tipping point where even "red" states like Kansas are voting in Liberal Snowflake pussy stuff like abortion rights cuz the people to vote against that are rotting in the ground or on a ventilator.

So I do not think anyone is gonna top themselves even if he wins, especially on Aussie who lives in Germany.

There will be a lot of noise online from armchair warriors hoping someone else will do it, and a very small minority of people that get ramped enough, or are mentally ill enough, to take up arms and either do a suicide by fed (hey, look at those unredacted FBI agent names...) or right-wing terrorist bs like shooting up public spaces as we've already seen. Don't think anyone is going to be despondent enough over Donnie and his cult is just an indicator in the deaths of despair rather than a reason.
