FBI Search and Seizure at Trump's Mar-A-Lago Residence, August 8, 2022, Case Dismissed July 15, 2024
The wheels on the bus go round and round……
Apparently Trump’s executive assistant, Molly Michael, is cooperating with the special counsel.
She has testified that Trump used classified materials as scrap paper, using them to make notes that he would hand over to her. The materials were briefing cards given to the President for use during calls with world leaders.
She also testified that when Trump found out she was being interviewed, he told her “You don’t know anything about the boxes.”

I’d love to see what Trump’s idea of a to-do list might be, but I suppose they must now be as classified as the documents they were sharpie’d onto…
Similar to binders of women?
…I’ll show myself out…
I’m thinking more like:
- diet coke asap
- also need KFC, double up on the mash
- call, my body man, tell him, “the boom boom is in the building,” he’ll know what it means
That’s evidence of witness tampering, isn’t it?
Yes. And relevant to obstruction of justice.
Also relevant to the prosecution’s claim that Trump knew that he was not allowed to have the material in the boxes. Otherwise, why tell his subordinate to lie?
One of the things I find perplexing is trying to figure out what Trump supporters actually believe versus what they’re willing to argue about. Do they actually believe Trump’s argument that the Presidential Records Act means he could keep all those documents? And if they believe it, why do they think Trump’s lawyers don’t just file a motion to have the case dismissed based on that?
Yes.
Because the Biden Crime Family™ has weaponised the DoJ, preventing them from filing the motion.
It’s a pretty tidy conspiracy theory, when you look at it. DOJ! Deep State! Mainstream Media! Liberal Agenda! You can have an excuse for anything that can’t be dismissed by logic or proof.
It’s dangerous to think there’s a single bloc of them
Some of them are just convenient idiots. “Their” guy is clearly good and righteous and all that, and so they’re just going to accept whatever will let such an obviously good person avoid what they think is unjust punishment, even if that means what they say/believe may have to change on a minute by minute basis.
Others don’t really care. They want “their” guy to win (for various reasons - he’s rich, he hates the same people, etc). So whatever accomplishes that.
And still others simply want to “pwn the libs” and/or watch the world burn.
And some are some combination of all of these. And others have yet different motivations.
There’s a lot of common features among them (generally racists, misogynists, largely evangelicals, etc) but it’s not like they’re all identical. Yes, it’s convenient to treat supporters as a single bloc but it’s not a great idea to treat each individual member of that bloc as interchangeable.
AKA, the Schultz defence.
Edited to add: I thought about this analogy, and realized that would make Mr Trump Col. Klink. I think it still works.
Inda Klink would be nice.

Putting this here as this thread seems the closest-themed one for this. Lmk, @Aspenglow
Seems like the most appropriate thread for now. If that changes, we can start a new thread and I can move your post. Smith may choose to file this one in a different jurisdiction than Florida.
Thanks for being mindful of it!
