abide by the rule of law, by long-established rules of conduct by the Courts, based IMHO on what I've seen thus far.

With all of the politics swirling around, if it were a trump admin. w/ a trump AG, I guarantee you that every juicy detail of what they want to charge the unwilling victims of a trumped up Court would be revealed publicly w/o considering of the legal ramifications of releasing such information (and more than likely a lot of the information would be faked too).

I wouldn't put it past tRUMP.

and get rid of Trump, once and for all. It will be like having their cake and eating it too. They can blame it all on the godless and gunless Democrats and kick open the door to a new breed of super-Fascist like DeSantis, and all while retaining plausible deniability to the Trump cult.

As long as Trump is out there, he will be on every ballot. With every drip-drip-drip, the GQP leadership is less thrilled about an election being a referendum on Trump.

a "Panderer's Box" of kompromat on the entire GQP party.

If all that was stolen/hidden were national and defense secrets, "Big Fucking Deal"

But if it's mass kompromat, they be shaking magnitude 7. And it's looking that way, from their puppet masters on down.

The senate and house members have fallen in line robotically, even to the extent of voting against election certification, a true abomination.

What offer were they made that they couldn't refuse? Too evil for even my overactive imagination.

But there's precedent for the big blackmail.
