Newsweek had also reported that Garland knew nothing about the raid.

Show us the letter, or at least the name of the person who'd made that claim?

I can’t “solidly prove” anything, and neither can you. We will both see when and if there are trials to weigh these matters. But from the reliable sources I’ve been reading and listening to, the element of classification is not necessary to establishing violation of the statutes in the warrant.

Newsweek reported based on high level sources from DOJ that Garland did not ok the FBI raid/seizure. Clearly, that was a big detail they got wrong.

When I'd asked why they didn't bother to take all of the documents, since they could have if they really wanted to, your response made it appear that you knew everything.

Trump can file appeal after appeal, he has billions of dollars to stay out of the pokey. In fact, he would probably enjoy the spotlight of a trial, which would be watched by the whole world - it would surely appease his enormous ego to have so much attention lavished on him.

He's already 76 and is far from being the picture of health. I think he has enough money to keep kicking the can down the road or better yet, have his devotees send their hard earned money to his legal fund.

I don't really read Newsweek so I can't comment. But if it looks like a miss, it would be worth conveying your concern to them.

Grateful for unproven detail by unknown sources? Didn't y'all learn anything over these past 6 years?

Okay, file this under the too funny to be believed file:

Rand Paul calls for repeal of Espionage Act amid DOJ investigation into Trump taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago

https://sports.yahoo.com/rand-paul-c...115011151.html

So now if Trump breaks the law--just repeal the law! Easy-peasy!

Except that even if they did repeal this law, it would be too late for Trump, as it was definitely the law when he broke it.

And Newsweek was criticized rightly for having said that. At best it was premature. It’s possible Garland didn’t know about the specific time/day it would be executed, but he did know it was going to happen.

In any event, I don’t consider Newsweek’s reporting trustworthy until it is followed up and verified by other sources.
