The week in review

Rudy Giuliani found out that he is a target in the Georgia grand jury probe of attempts to overturn the 2020 election; Lindsey Graham lost a bid to avoid testifying under oath in the same criminal probe. Meanwhile, we are learning that Trump’s team “copied sensitive data from election systems in Georgia as part of a secretive, multistate effort to access voting equipment that was broader, more organized and more successful than previously reported.” Another former White House lawyer was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury investigating the January 6 Insurrection. It looks like the former Trump org’s CFO is about to plead guilty to criminal charges.

And, of course, a week ago, the former president pled the Fifth amendment more than 440 times, and the FBI raided his home as part of an investigation into violations of The Espionage Act.

The question is will someone further up the food chain roll over on trump? The other question is who's the mole in Donny's orbit?

Dunno, but it just came out that his White House Counsel and Deputy testified this Spring about them telling him multiple times about his responsibility to appropriately handle government documents and how he refused.

Mr. Philbin tried to help the National Archives retrieve the material, two of the people familiar with the discussions said. But the former president repeatedly resisted entreaties from his advisers.

“It’s not theirs, it’s mine,” several advisers say Mr. Trump told them.

Trump's childlike behavior is gonna result in him being indicted, it appears.

If he's convinced himself that he owns all these classified documents, I wonder how many opulent presidential 'gifts' the Ochre Skidmark has squirreled away? All of that stuff belongs the American people, not the Naranja Nitwit.

Lock his well marbled ass up.

Former president Donald Trump and close aides have spent the eight days since the FBI searched his Florida home rushing to assemble a team of respected defense lawyers. But the answer they keep hearing is "no."

The “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd sure seem to think we should prioritize their feelings that the election was stolen and that prosecuting MAGA criminals is tyranny. Indeed, they threaten violence if a legitimate inquiry of Trump's alleged crimes continue. And they call themselves "patriots."

Maybe the "respected" part is the hangup? They could always call these guys?
