    So there was a subpoena issued previously and Trump apparently, didn't comply.

    This only makes it more clear the warrant was needed.

    Former President Donald Trump received a subpoena this spring in search of documents that federal investigators believed he had failed to turn over earlier in ...

    But your attitude towards people that are not really in it for the discourse is part of the weakness of the democratic party, they keep hoping that Mitch McConnel will be reasonable, it is not going to happen.

    You have to cut out the cancer and move forward.

    Otherwise you keep behaving professionally while they are busy sticking the knife in at every turn - that is how you end up with 6 justices on the surpreme court and a former president that is a life long crook, they just don't compromise.

    It is one thing to discuss and to have compromise when both parties are reasonable, it is an entirely different thing to expect a different result when they are constantly stonewalling, changing direction and deflecting, it is not worth the effort, you cut those people out...we don't need em.

    The rest of the country agrees with the primary talking points of the democratic party, we should focus on that, and leave those in the past in the rear view mirror and continue to call them out for it.

    Is this really a shock?

    How so?

    Is this more of a shock than all the precedents Trumps has bulldozed?

    How do you know this is not big stuff, don't you think logic would assume it's big stuff because the DOJ would know how much **** it starts?

    Or do you think the DOJ is looking to slander trump in any way?

    Can you talk me through the logic of why you would think this is ticky tacky?

    Should come as a surprise to no one.

    If you think the FBI was gonna kick in the door to Mar a Lago guns blazing without the receipts to back it up you are awfully cynical or naive, perhaps both.

    Why are you commenting only on your experience with him and then using that to tell other people how they should think of him?

    Why are you not looking at how he interacts with everybody else or everything else he posts, why does that not figure into what you think of him?

    Why are you even commenting then if you are not familiar with all the back and forth?

    This is not the 1st time you have white knighted him, you would think you would just do a little research why people say what they say about him, It's not hard he is in almost every thread in D&D.

    Do you have him on ignore or something? It's impossible to not be familiar with the back and forth as much as you are in the D&D.

    Dude he just admitted to being a Troll, but now it's in your experience?

    Why are you ignoring everybody else experience to create a defense for him?

    Important to remember that Barr defined the scope of Mueller's investigation, sharply limiting the range of what he and his team were allowed to pursue.

    Important to remember Mueller, before Congress, saying that if Mueller and his team believed trump to be not guilty, they would have said so.

    well, he could go all banana republic and publicly rail against the subject of the warrant and investigation.

    Oh wait, no, that’s Trumps playbook.

    I want a more detailed statement at some point, but I am glad they are moving to unseal the warrant and that he specifically said that Trump's counsel was given a copy yesterday since that became a big talking point on Fox was that it didn't happen.

    Worth noting that the search warrant, which the DOJ has moved to have unsealed, will lay out all the probable cause which was sufficiently compelling to the judge who issued the warrant.

    37. 37 indictments, 7 guilty pleas or convictions, compelling evidence that trump obstructed justice multiple times.

    I don't think are moving to unseal that affidavit or any underlying documents, just the actual search warrant that was served to the former President along with the receipt of what was taken.
