Comey was fired in 2017 after admitting to an active investigation into the Trump fictional Russia collusion story, which included the fake Steel dossier. When that failed miserably, as witnessed by the Mueller Report, the Dem majority immediately shifted gears to the phone call with Zelinski. He was defending himself for his entire Presidency and did not have the FBI at his beck and call. And he was aware that he could not force the FBI or DoJ to indict her if they did not see fit.
And his impeachment was not for firing Comey like you also incorrectly claimed.

I think people are thinking a president walks out of office carrying boxes of documents, but the truth is more like they had the documents there during their presidency and just didn't return them after they left. Also they are probably copies of documents, not the originals.

All the reports I’ve seen show the warrant was served low key, with the FBI not even bothering to put on their pretty blue FBI-stenciled jackets. Are you sure you’re not mistaking images of the cops surrounding Mar a Lago after the MAGA nuts showed up, hours after the FBI left?

Incorrect. He took them during his move out of the white house/last days IIRC. And they were not copies, they were original documents that the National Archive discovered were missing. As they'd have no way of knowing if Trump made copies, they'd then have no clue that he had them in order to ask for the missing documents. The defenses I'm seeing are getting more and more poorly thought through.
Also I was commenting on the fact that other former presidents had classified documents in their possession, not specifically Trump.

Apparently the FBI did not leave a copy of their warrant with the Trump estate, refused to allow Trump's personnel to observe, and did not leave a list of which items were confiscated, some of which were clearly not of national security concern, such as the letter Obama left for Trump as the former left office.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

And why would they only be able to confiscate things that were of national security concern? Where are you getting this from? I heard some Senator bleat about "national security concern" this morning too so clearly that's some new talking point.Last edited by Gondwanaland; 08-10-2022, 09:25 AM.
