- Who tipped off the FBI about the documents that I didn’t have that they came and planted and then took away that I want back because I declassified them? ---

I thought this would be too much of a hijack for the FBI thread, but who would have liked to see trump duke it out with J. Edgar Hoover? Show of hands. ---

Have any of you seen the message Trump sent to Merrick Garland? "Trump asked Merrick Garland: ‘What can I do to reduce the heat?’ before FBI warrant was unsealed, report says. ‘The country is on fire,’ Trump allegedly told Garland." Donald trying to act like he’s got the power to turn down the heat? Pretending he’s still the president? A weird way to signal his followers? It’s an odd message that doesn’t sit well with me. ---

Mr. Trump wanted Mr. Garland to know that he had been checking in with people around the country and found them to be enraged by the search. “The country is on fire” was the message that Mr. Trump wanted conveyed, according to a person familiar with the exchange. “What can I do to reduce the heat?” ---

**Susan** , thank you for providing the cite. I meant to include a link, but just forgot. And yes, it sounds very much like a threat to me. I don’t think his support is as great as he thinks it is, but I don’t doubt there will be some more trouble. Bastard will gleefully watch the country burn. ---
