    I've never been *as* pro-cop as most conservatives. I switched my Fartbook background image from "Blue Lives Matter" to a Canadian "Freedom" -themed one during the lockdowns. I've been (sporadically, I admit) calling for defunding the police since around the time they started shutting down churches.

It's common for departing POTUSes to take documents that turn out to be "disputable." It's not common for it to turn into such a fiasco.
        Bahahaha, Turley? And where is his evidence?

        And no, it is not 'common' for classified documents to be removed from the White House by a departing president. Hasn't been since Nixon (nice poetry, the raid happening on the anniversary of Nixon's resignation)

          • I've not seen such a swarm of activity since I accidentally stepped on a fireant hill in Florida last year. The Trump Cultists are out in a manic fury, absolutely terrified for their leader.

              Mark Levin I can't speak for, but that's not true in the case of Crowder. It's not about Trump, at least not to all conservatives, maybe even not to most. It's the bigger picture -- i.e what we saw in the last 6 years with the FBI and the two-tiered justice system. Crowder even explicitly stated this and gave a list of examples of that double standard.

                  Crowder has spent the last two years screeching against defund the police, so yeah, he does indeed have a double standard.

                    It's not at all the same thing. But whatever, Gond. You'd made perfectly clear to everyone here how much of a disingenuous troll you are.

                      So you don't see any possibility that this raid was politically motivated? That the FBI has been weaponized to go after political foes? The fact that the FBI has had Hunter's laptop for years (I assume they still have it - it appears to have disappeared) and no investigation into its myriad evidence that might implicate "the big guy", but they see fit to raid a former president's home? You think this is all about Trump and not about the corruption and abuse of power going on in DC? You surprise me.

                        Yes, it is the same thing. He's against defunding the police until those police attack his precious buddy Trump. That's about the right level of hypocrisy I expect from Crowder.

                          Sure. There's a possibility. But we know for a fact that Trump took documents and mishandled classified materials that he had no legal right taking. And that the raid is related to that and that the warrant passed every legal requirement. So I think it's a more likely possibility that was the cause of this.

                          Frankly if it were politically motivated I'd expect to see it at the very least much closer to the midterms if not the 2024 elections.

                          All I'll say to Trump and to those all upset about this, is what his spokesperson/press secratary said not too many years ago:

                              If they can do it to a former president, then they can do it to any of us.

                                I don't know that as a fact. Who said so? Mueller? Garland?

                                Frankly if it were politically motivated I'd expect to see it at the very least much closer to the midterms if not the 2024 elections.
                                J6 theater is wrapping up and nothing to show for it. So this smacks of desperation to me, that they went fishing and hoping to find something to convict Trump with so he would be ineligible to run in 2024. I hear the safe they broke into was empty, so I guess they will move onto Plan C now.

                                I'm old enough to remember when Hillary and her supporters were making the same claim: https://politicalwire.com/2016/11/03...-is-trumpland/

                                I wouldn't frame that quote and hang it on my wall. The same fluff could be said about the ATF raiding homes, taking weapons and arresting citizens for exercising their constitutional rights. The FBI is no better.
