In the past week, I have posed about: - Nikki Haley
- Newt Gingrich
- Republcians in general

...but let's just imagine all of the posts are about Trump.

Kash Patel stated on Fox News this morning that Trump declassified every document as POTUS. Kash stated that the former president could declassify piles of documents with a single utterance. Seems like Kash has been watching too many episodes of Bewitched.  If you recall the map I posted on the J6: Putting it all together thread, Kash Patel is in the Pentagon section of the map. Per Wikipedia:Kash is an attorney who served as chief of staff to the Acting United States Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump. Patel has worked at the United States National Security Council and United States House of Representatives and was previously a federal public defender, a federal prosecutor working on national security cases, and a legal liaison to the United States Armed Forces.
Patel was an aide to House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes, during which Patel played a prominent role in promoting the Republican discreditation of the investigations into Donald Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 election. He was the primary author of the Nunes memo which alleged that the FBI was biased against Trump. The New York Times opined that the memo was widely dismissed as "biased" containing "cherry-picked facts" though "it galvanized President Trump's allies and made Mr. Patel a hero among them."
After the leadership changeover of the House of Representatives, Patel was hired as a staffer for President Trump's National Security Council. Patel held several staff positions in the Trump administration, including Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
Within months of his appointment, it was suspected that Patel had assumed the role of an additional independent back channel for the President, which was seen as potentially detrimental to American policy in Ukraine. It was noticed that during NSC meetings Patel took few notes and was underqualified for his portfolio, the United Nations.
In January 2021, Trump had considered Patel for appointment as Acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency to replace Gina Haspel, but was instead appointed Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency immediately before a planned dismissal of Haspel, allowing him to head the agency in an acting capacity.

Keep in mind that Trump boasts of having a stellar memory - so why does he need to keep the docs? It's not like he reads them. He hates reading.

One of Trump's secrets to success is that he never leaves a paper trail to anything.
I knew it would be his downfall in the end, because even as shoddy as he was in his recordkeeping, enough would be preserved to prove his guilt in almost everything he was probably guilty of.
Historians will be discovering new crimes a century from now.
My guess is that he grabbed any and all paper in the Whitehouse and flew it to Maralago.
His Secret Service thugs probably loaded it on the plane for him. Trump is daft enough to think he could get away with it. They wouldn't let him shred it though (we guess), so it was bound to come to light eventually. It may have languished there for years if not for the J6 Commission.
Trump is off his rocker, y'know. Batshite crazy in the clinical sense as well as the political sense. He likely suffers from a variety of diagnosable mental disorders as well as being a spoiled rotten brat who has always gotten his way.
I'm talking about dementia, maybe Sundowners. Maybe Alzheimer's...a diagnosis might be his get out of jail free card,
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

I've been reading a lot of articles about Republican politicians calling for civil war, Turner Diaries-style. The problem with that is that it's obsolete. Sigint can monitor every phone conversation, every email message, etc. There are cameras EVERYWHERE, and they are all accessible to even podunk town law enforcement. Those agencies also can (and do) monitor every money transaction. There is no such thing as a secret organization in the US any more. Even the Supreme Court has ruled that privacy is not a constitutional right! They already know the identity of everyone who has posted on social media, even on sites that claim to be anonymous. There have been hundreds of terrorist plots since 9/11, and almost all of them have been infiltrated and busted before they could carry out anything. Just look at the Oklahoma City bombing: Three guys, and they were found immediately. The Boston Marathon bomb: Two guys, one killed his brother and was caught within a couple of days.
Even terrorist organizations in other unfriendly countries, like Al Queda: Twice now the US cut the head off the snake. My point is that organizations of more than two or three people are doomed to early failure. An insurrection trying to operate as an insurgency would suffer the same fate as the January 6th crowd: Almost everybody identified, arrested, convicted, and rotting in prison or dead Waco-style. And more people with guns doesn't work for them! It means their attacks could be met with deadly force quicker than in the past.
So far-right masturbatory fantasies are just that: Attack the FBI in Cincinnati with your AR-15, crash your car into a barricade outside the Capital, and get your self arrested or dead real quick.

The attack on the Cincy FBI office was with a Roybi nail gun the guy thought would breach the safety glass. An alarm went off and FBI special agents responded when the man fired a nail gun at law enforcement personnel, sources tell NBC News. The man then held up an AR-15-style rifle before fleeing in a vehicle north onto I-71 leading Ohio State Highway Patrol on a pursuit. - WLWT.comThe guy was a J6 insurrectionist as well, that was never caught.

Another data point: Domestic terrorist sniper firing from a hidden location? For several years law enforcement has had the technology right off the shelf to install microphones around a city (like on cell phone towers) that can triangulate a single gunshot to within a couple of feet in less than a second. So 2nd amendment fantasies about sniping from rooftops could get those snipers killed or caught very quickly.
Not many cities have installed them, but if that was perceived as a tactic it could be shut down immediately.

Fox News host Sean Duffy defended the character of former President Donald Trump Monday evening, stating: [Garland] says it’s standard practice to be less intrusive. There is nothing more intrusive than having 30 agents in your home for nine hours. It obviously wasn’t narrow in scope. They turned his mansion upside down, raided his wife’s closet. This was calculated. They were looking for, “fruits of a crime?”
That gives the FBI access to anything and everything in Trump’s home, who has never had a drink of alcohol. He’s never smoked a cigarette and he’s never been convicted of a crime. But to the Democrats and the DOJ, Trump is El Chapo. Mediaite via Facebook...because Rwing logic says: Trump never smoked a cigarette, therefore he is incapable of being a pathological lying sociopath.
