The FBI basically handed the 2016 election to Trump.... Also, the Mueller investigation happened because the Trump campaign was absolutely crawling with Russians. It would have been insane not to investigate it. Obviously the Democrats would oppose Trump. Just like the GOP opposes Biden and opposed Obama. Trump loved the swamp. He mastered it and made it his own.

For an actual recap based on facts and reality: Clinton: Clinton was told to hand over emails and documents and she provided them to the State Department's Inspector General The IG released a report criticizing Clinton (as well as other State department officials such as Colin Powell) for use of a private email server An FBI investigation into her emails found emails that contained classified information Clinton turned over her server and a thumb drive of her emails to the FBI The FBI completed it's investigation and did not recommend charges as they did not believe a prosecutor could win a case based on the facts and evidence Just before the 2016 election, the head of the FBI announced they had re-opened the investigation, breaking long-standing FBI policy Two days before the 2016 election, the head of the FBI announced that they were not changing their original recommendation of no charge Trump: The National Archives and Records Administration discovered that, after his presidency, Trump took 15 boxes of documents to Mar A Lago. This included classified documents NARA requested that Trump hand over the boxes but he refused for months Trump only handed over the boxes in January, 2022. After the documents were handed over, NARA stated that Trump reps were continuing to search for additional records This week, the FBI executed a search warrant, likely to search for additional documents. This warrant was likely signed off by Trump's FBI head and Trump would have been provided a copy of the warrant during the search At this point, we're at the equivalent of like bullet #4 from the Clinton timeline. Trump hasn't been charged with anything, and until he makes the search warrant public, we won't know exactly what they were looking to find for some time (if we ever learn). Clinton ultimately was not charged with a crime because the investigation found that she was careless but did not act with malicious intent. It could go the same way with Trump. We don't know at this point.

That's likely because they are being told false information and conspiracies about what's going on. If they were truly upset at Hillary having classified info on her home server, they should be livid that Trump took 15 boxes of physical documents, including classified documents, to his private residence. At some point, we can't just cater to the looniest Americans. Ensuring that there are no more classified documents at Mar A Lago is worth upsetting people who would be upset at literally anything that dared challenge their God King.

Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦
ChiGoose replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This was well outside of the range of HIMARS. How did the Ukrainians pull off these strikes? -
Someone took 15 boxes of classified material from the government and stowed it in a private residence. When requested to return it, they refused for months, only relenting when facing legal consequences. As part of the investigation into the mishandling of classified materials, the FBI then executed a search warrant against the private residence where the materials had been kept. And this is a bad thing? I assume then, that you were totally cool with Clinton keeping classified materials on her home server. Because that's honestly much less of a problem than stacks and stacks of classified paper documents.

Generally, the FBI doesn’t make many public statements about raids, but I believe they leave a copy of the warrant with the person whose place they raided. If so, Trump himself can make it public. Frankly, it’s a bit surprising how surprising this was. No leaks, nothing. Given that, I suspect the FBI will remain quiet on this until it takes further action.

They didn’t need to since the controversy was over emails which can be obtained without physically entering the home. Additionally, instead of stonewalling for months, she provided the requested documents when subpoenaed. So, on the one hand, you have digital evidence and a person of interest who is responsive to subpoenas and on the other, it’s physical papers and a client who fights the subpoenas. It’s not surprising at all that a search warrant would be authorized.

This is completely unhinged and divorced from reality. Hillary was investigated by the FBI and it severely damaged her campaign. Then, after the case had been closed, it was publicly re-opened just before the election. And you are claiming both that this never happened and that it had no impact on the election? Log off and go touch some grass. That’s completely unbelievable.
