It may surprise you to know who Trump has chosen as his "defense" team in the coming indictments?

It is not Rudy Guiliani or some big-name lawyer.

It is Kevin McCarthy and his insurrectionist promoters on the House Select Committees.

McCarthy is following the orders of Donald Trump. His first step was in kicking Schiff and Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee. He is attempting to extort the Congress of the United States.

The "grievance" committees are working for Donald Trump. If Trump is indicted, Joe Biden will be impeached. McCarthy is all in with Trump.

In my opinion, the classified document search of Joe Biden's home and office was done at the request of Donald Trump, by his friends and supporters in the FBI, perhaps behind the back of Merrick Garland?

The Select Committees in the House are there to do the bidding of Donald Trump. They are there to attack anyone who attacks their former Leader. That is why they were created. Do not think they were created without the encouragement of the former president.

His strategy is to tear down the government from the inside if they continue to go after him for his crimes. He will not go silently into the night. He has chosen McCarthy and the insurrectionists in the Congress to defend him in this battle.

4. Yes, but I doubt that he expected an "FBI team" to search his home for 12-13 hours?

I wonder where Chris Wray was on this maneuver?

8. Actually, it is likely better it was 12 plus hours rather than say 1 hour

The longer time likely means they systematically went through each room checking all papers. The last thing you want was a short investigation that did not check everywhere.

Consider your own home, especially if you lived there a long time and if you had stuff come from packing up personal stuff from past jobs. I know how hard it was to go through junk accumulated over 25 years when we moved. It is long hard work to go through EVERY file of papers. I suspect we had a fraction of the papers that a Senator, VP, President has. Add that he seems likely to save things like cards and letters.

3. And 99.97% of Americans are too ill-formed if not stupid to figure this out

Laws and rules in Congress hold the future to our Republic. Thank God we held well enough in 2022 elections. We can win this game if events, disloyalty, political pressure from Democrats, stifle or topple McCarthy.

5. Fuck them and Trump. Let them impeach Joe. He has done nothing wrong, they will prove that.

They will waste time on their witch hunts and look like fools in the end.

In numbers large enough to create chaos and disturbance.
