So Shape Shifter, I believe the last I heard he was ill. That was maybe a decade ago? Anyone remember his name? Any idea of current status?

What if the search warrant was about retrieving government documents, and once retrieved there is nothing more to investigate or litigate?

Not sure, but if I were the government and/or the FBI, I’d be pretty fucking worried about Phase Two, and about exactly how the man who so blandly skewered middle-management culture in a supremely nerdy daily comic strip is going to right the wrongs of the Mar-a-Lago search. You’ve been warned!!!! All options are on the table? This guy means fucking BUSINESS!

I get it dude. I had to wait half an hour for the Garland statement. It's an outrage.

Put him on trial and the cold civil war will get worse. He needs to be shot with a dart that gives him a heart attack by the CIA.

You just made Dilbert’s shit-list. I don’t think Phase 2 is going to go well for you.

What's he going to do? Erase me from the world?

He's fucking nuts. I listened to a podcast years ago in which Sam Harris, who, like him or not, is a purely logic, linear, eminently linear thinker, sought to elicit an admission from Adams that Trump was a compulsive liar.

This is, even if you're a Trump fan, an objective fact like, say... gravity.

Adams drove Harris nuts for the better part of an hour, until Harris gave up. https://lawliberty.org/scott-adams-v...esident-trump/

Adams argued that Trump tells an "emotional truth" and isn't beholden to reality because he's marketing. Adams' view is so convoluted (and I think his psyche organically disordered) I got lost twenty minutes into his commentary and was unable to ascertain wtf he was saying other than to excuse Trump for quite literally every fucked up thing he's ever done.

I had the same thought. But then if they don’t charge, Trump declares himself an innocent victim of DOJ.

Maybe Garland doesn’t care. Perhaps in a politically impossible spot he just figured it’s most important to get the stuff out of Trump’s hands.

My husband was USMC in the early 90s with TS and TS/SCI clearance, and he's pretty outraged about the cavalier attitude about this shit from people who should fucking know better. He says he would have been locked up for taking a single page from a CONFIDENTIAL (lowest level) folder home. Almost 30 years later, he still won't talk about any of the stuff he saw because he takes it that seriously. And they monitored the hell out of people who had the clearance/access. He said he got a talking to because he was late for a car payment. They absolutely do not want anyone to have anything on you, if you have access to that kind of information. Tracks with what Wanda Sykes said about working for the NSA. I imagine a lot of folks who had/have that kind of access are pretty fucking pissed right now.

I'm a HIPAA privacy officer who also handles subpoenas and open records requests. With the reports on how the White House used to handle sensitive information last week, and Alex Jones's lawyer's fuck up the week before, I've broken out in hives. I, too, have sent law enforcement to the homes of former employees to retrieve sensitive information after repeated attempts to get the info less aggressively have failed. I usually just want the info back, but then I don't have authority to do much else if they no longer work for us.

I think anyone who has ever signed an NDA with Trump should be allowed to handle the information on Trumpworld as well as they handled classified US information.

We'll never know why Trump took those records. People like to assume nefarious goals, but it's just as likely incompetence, arrogance (they're mine), and paranoia (they're confidential to me and my team alone), or all four combined.

We've all dealt with people accused of civil fraud who seem to make a habit of it and often succeed in it. They seem to simply ignore rules. I'm not talking about willful ignorance. I'm talking about ignorance as policy - simply not observing rules unless they're thrust upon one.

It's impossible to pin fraud on these people because they honestly don't know wtf they're doing. They just don't care. They seem to follow a policy of "I'll do what I want unless and until stopped from doing so." Sure, they follow the big rules we all know one can't violate (outright, obvious crimes), but they never look at the fine print rules. So any accusation involving intent becomes nearly impossible to prove. (One always winds up settling for a negligent misrepresentation claim instead of fraud when suing them.)

I don't think Trump would know or give a fuck about document handling rules if his life depended on it. That shit's beneath him, work for the eggheads. Except he had no eggheads. He had sycophants. And this allows him a second level of defense - in addition to lack of intent, the argument somebody else was responsible. (He's going to use this one on Giuliani in GA soon, I think.)

He's so sheltered, so clueless, and so unaware of anything beyond the immediate that I believe him when he says he thought he could declassify the docs and walk off with them. In his ADD addled pea brain he probably figured, in Nixonian fashion, when the President says its declassified, it's declassified.

God only knows how many people he showed the allegedly sensitive stuff he held on heads of state. "Vinnie, look, I'm not paying you the $500 for losing that match because I quit on hole 17 to take a phone call. I'm POTUS... I can do that. But come in my office and check out these photos of Macron with the housekeeper. And you really gotta see these crazy nukes Kim Jong Un has been building."
