It's over and done folks, Trump is finished. This is a 2 year sting op.

[Saboburns]

Yes, Donald Trump is guilty of heinous crimes against America. Yes, he sold our secrets for cash. And yes, the FBI has the proof. People on our side are all up in arms decrying why it took 2+ years for the FBI to recover secret docs Trump kept. Folks, there's a reason they let him keep those docs. Donald Trump is not a smart person. The FBI is the best run organization in the world at what they do. The bad stuff is coming. You've heard this before, I've heard this before, it's going to be a crazy fall and winter, because this time...

Donald Trump is fucked.

CNN chyron: New York Times: GOP members warned by Trump allies to stop aggressive criticism of DOJ & FBI as more damaging info may be coming


It really is over this time. His name will shamed as long as America is a country.

[musclecar6]

1. That

Thought will certainly warm the hearts of us Dems if it’s true, but we’ve heard that kind of stuff before and it went nowhere. Just rumors as always but let’s hope this time it is true so we would all be dancing in the street instead of crying in our beer every time we turn around with the next idiotic dangerous manipulative self serving thing he comes up with.

[RussBLib]

53. some things have changed

we've never been "here" before.

Things do not happen until they do. Sounds like Confucius.

[Hotler]

2. Now, if we can just find some dirt on Ron (the Nazi) DeSantis we might be able to

cripple the fascist party.

[Walleye]

7. His dirt is his black-hearted immorality

[Bristlecone]

27. Lol. More soot than dirt really....

[SergeStorms]

30. Republicans see that....

as a virtue. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is.

[SheltieLover]

33. Absolutely!

[sop]

19. The dirt could come from Susie Wiles, DeSantis' former campaign manager.

Lots of interesting background information about Wiles, DeSantis and Trump:

https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/3596037-the-most-powerful-republican-you-dont-know/

Susie Wiles has a lot of damaging information about DeSantis' political operation, dirt she could use to help Trump defeat DeSantis in 2024 (if Trump decides to run):

[mike3121]

50. Save the DeSantis Raid for later

Save the FBI Raid on DeSantis until closer to the 2024 election. Let it leak they are looking for Child Porn, that will sink him for sure. Hey, we'll have 87,000 new IRS agents, put them to work.

[sop]

73. 87,000 new IRS agents with guns.

[Wounded Bear]

92. Only a small percentage will be armed agents...

most will be CPAs and clerks.

[sop]

93. But, FOX News has been reporting the 87,000 armed IRS agents are coming for people's guns.

Surely they wouldn't lie?

[Wounded Bear]

95. Yes, I imagine they have been saying that.

I wouldn't know because I don't watch them.

Yeah, they probably wouldn't lie.

[Polybius]

115. So you want them to make up an illegal porn case against DeSantis?

Or do you have evidence that he committed a crime?

[Mariana]

46. That will be hard, he's a lot smarter than Trump.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. The chyron you highlight is kind of a turning point, I think. But I've been wrong before about

The chyron you highlight is kind of a turning point, I think. But I've been wrong before about turning points related to anything tRumpian. It does have a kind of "Let's start edging away now" vibe.

[PortTack]

4. If they had enough info to get a no knock search warrant, they probably had enough info to get

A cell phone tap, especially considering the info being “stored” was of the greatest national security. No doubt the feds know a lot..a lot more than we will ever know! And the DOJ will not hesitate to use all they have to take him down.

[AllaN01Bear]

5. yay, we also need beto to dethrone abbot as well.

[Joinfortmill]

109. I think he might do it.

[malaise]

6. Let me make it pellucidly clear

The Slobfather is going to be indicted and he will be taking down several ReTHUGs and more than a few white supremacists,
Take that to the bank. The end is nigh!😀😀😀

[OLDMDDEM]

12. So true.

I believe the slobfather will be taking down many with him.

[wryter2000]

20. Just this morning

We heard the criminal case against his company and Weisselberg is going forward. Also, Leticia James is looking for the "death penalty" of his company. He's been committing tax, insurance, and bank fraud since he got into the business, and it's all coming out now.

I honestly believe he could have gone on his merry way, committing fraud, cheating his contractors, and bilking folks with things like his "university" if he hadn't decided to run for president.

For about 7 years, I've been waiting for the day when he'd regret coming down that escalator, and I think that day arrived this week. It's sweet!

[malaise]

23. You have me singing

Our Day will Come😀

[wryter2000]

31. How about

This the road, jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.

[yonder]

76. Or as the Irish might say:

Tiocfaidh ár lá

[napi21]

100. Ohhh, how I hope your prediction comes true! Guys like him always manage to slither away from being

caught though. Maybe his luck has finally run out.

[louis-t]

25. I have a feeling about this time.

I really think he's toast. The FBI doesn't do a 2-year investigation to have it go nowhere. There are lots of co-conspirators involved. This ain't going away.

[wryter2000]

32. Plus,

There's New York and Georgia.

[uponit7771]

37. +1,

[LuckyCharms]

39. Agree 100%! n/t

[RussBLib]

55. how in the world?

...can you have over 246,000 posts?! Over 18 years, that's 37 posts per day.

I am in awe of your tenacity.

BTW, I agree with you. It could get really ugly, hopefully.

[Lochloosa]

71. malaise is an institution around here.

[RussBLib]

72. I've seen the name many times

Still going after the FBI? Haven't been paying attention.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. About fuckin' time!!

[Beetwasher.]

11. I Agree, this has Honeypot Written all Over it

[Marius25]

13. Sorry but we've been hearing this for years.

I thought Trump would be finished with the Mueller report.

We can't say it's over for him.

He can also run for office from prison FYI.

[uponit7771]

41. +1, Benedict Donald kidnapped children as a policy and killed over 300k Americans by lying about the

.... lethality of a deadly virus.

I would think after that there's no way 77 million people would vote for him cause his ass would be in jail ... not so much

[AKwannabe]

14. Winter is here

For the donald? Ya think?

[oldsoftie]

15. I'll believe it when I see it. This better be some BIG shit; not overdue library books.

It can't be the Clinton "we'll get Jim even if its just lying" crap.
It HAS to be serious violations. I want to see stuff that makes MY neighbors say "Wait, WHAT??"
But I appreciate your optimism.

[Scrivener7]

47. I, too, will believe it when I see it, though it seems more likely now. BUT I really hope it

is NOT big shit. Because big shit in association with those kinds of documents could very well mean lives lost which we might or might not ever hear about.

This terrifies me.

Editing: They're naming the stuff that they found. It's big shit.

[calimary]

114. Yeah, I understand that hesitation.

We've certainly gotten our hopes up before. More than a few times.

[uncle ray]

16. i assume mar a lago and other TFG properties have been bugged since he left office, if not longer.

certainly after this summers first FBI visit.

[maxsolomon]

17. Fun dayn moyl zu Got's oyem.

It won't be over until he's defeated in 2024.

[wryter2000]

18. Small correction

Two years ago, he was still president and legally had access to the material. (Scary enough in itself.) He's been out of office for almost exactly 1.5 years.

Otherwise, I think your OP is spot-on.

[wnylib]

26. I noticed that time discrepancy, too. Thanks for pointing it out.

[Saboburns]

67. Absolutely you are correct

Thank you!

[Snoopy 7]

21. name change

I heard trump is changing his name to BENEDICT ARNOLD. Look him up you won't be surprised of the comparison.

[Bucky]

22. Not even CLOSE to a sting operation. And Trump is definitely not "done"

Just cause he's a criminal and a Russian agent doesn't mean the Republicans won't celebrate and nominate him. We all saw how quickly the Republican establishment rushed to swallow his distorted, dishonest take on the search warrant. They exploded with how the FBI should be defunded and broken up into tiny subagencies. It's pathetic. Republicans don't even flinch at the outright hypocrisy these days. If anything, this search warrant is a threat to Ron DeSantis. Republicans want to feel persecuted. Nominating Trump gets them there.

As for the "sting", sorry, but the FBI has been in talks with the Trump compound to turn over those papers through peaceful, low-profile, and polite means since February. Calling this search a "raid" is like telling the traffic court judge that the police ambushed you for doing 45 through a school zone.

[Saboburns]

34. Wrong!!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZ-y8NtXgActS1-?format=png&name=large

Breaking:

Trump under investigation of breaking Espionage Act!

[former9thward]

48. You are wrong.

And this is not a sting operation. Link to something credible next time.

[Saboburns]

49. New York Times do?

Link to tweet

?s=20&t=408MKbYbc0DW1SJVEsGX4w


You can apologize whenever you work up to it. I know these things are difficult and take a bit of time.

All the best!

[former9thward]

57. That is twitter not the NYT.

What that tweet is referencing is boilerplate used on the warrant. When this "sting operation" never happens will you apologize? I doubt it. You have already moved the goalposts back to the "fall and winter". Whenever one of these "Trump is about to get indicted" OPs gets posted the big day is always a few months away. And those few months keep getting pushed back and back.

[Saboburns]

58. Obstruction and Espionage

I'm usually not vain, but shit, I'm gonna gloat over this one!



Maggie Haberman
@maggieNYT
The warrant shows the criminal statutes invoked related to obstruction and espionage

[Bucky]

113. Just because Trump is committing crimes doesn't make the search warrant a "sting"

This is an ongoing investigation. There was no "raid". They didn't kick the doors down, they didn't pop through the windows, but they did notify Trump and his lawyers in advance that they would be showing up to retrieve the records Trump's people failed to turn over and apparently lied about.

Everything I stated in my post was correct. No one is disputing that it's about obstruction and espionage.

[Skittles]

77. you sound like you are disappointed

yup

I'm curious if you at least agree that Donald Fucking Trump is an absolute piece of SHIT and his fans are seriously FUCKED UP

[former9thward]

84. I will leave the personal attacks aside.

I am in favor of facts not crazy speculation. I have been reading gleeful "Trump is finally going down!" OPs and posts since 2015. And not one of the predictions (and supposed inside sources) has proved true. Take that however you want.

[Skittles]

85. yeah but we should at LEAST be celebrating that the spotlight is ON that corrupt bastard

YES INDEED

[Saboburns]

62. Okey-dokey

Link to tweet

?s=20&t=moEXlI8GA7uxsST0yKdSEQ

[former9thward]

70. Your claim is a sting operation.

And will we find out in the fall .... or maybe winter!

[BlackSkimmer]

74. Thank you.

It ain't over yet.

[quaint]

35. Thank you. When someone is this big a criminal, no sting, raid, or honeypot needed.

I'm convinced everything is being handled properly.

[Snackshack]

24. I just hope.

It is not too late. Midterms are right around the corner and if the GOP gets a majority back in 1 or both chambers they gum all of this up with subpoenas, hearings, lawsuits.

[Smackdown2019]

105. Late or not, doesn't matter with foxnews and the morons

If does get locked up, foxnews would spin as a kidnapping and his nazified followers would take to the streets.

History is the most important weapon!

That is why we shall NEVER forget history, so it will NEVER REPEAT ITSELF.

This dangerous man prepped his career path by studying Hitler. He hook and line them into a state of obsession of servitude.

As history shows, lock up for temporary term only gives them more time to prepare for the next step. We need to throw away the key in a very cold place like Alaska. Or! Puerto Rico as a very hot miserable place.

Traitor he is, his followers would follow him into hell, thats the said truth!

[867-5309.]

28. I'll believe it when I see it

And celebrate if it does

[Torchlight]

66. Sounds serious.

Good luck

[Xipe Totec]

29. Time to step outside the hurl radius. nt

[Jon King]

36. Sure hope so, Baron should grow up in a world where the Trump name is despised.

All the damage this family has done for multiple generations. The cycle must stop, the younger Trumps should literally grow up to renounce the Trump name in order to be members of society.

[RevBrotherThomas]

38. Yeah ok...

I'll believe when I see it. As you say, we've heard this all before; from the 1st campaign announcement, lie after lie, scandal after scandal, impeachment after impeachment through today:

"THIS TIME Trump is fucked."

When I hear the gavel go down and he's remanded into custody, I'll believe it.

Not one moment before.

[Nululu]

40. I'll believe it when I see it.

There's no way this was a sting operation. I won't be celebrating until he's convicted for his crimes. He must answer for the maimed and dead at the capital coup attempt.

Until then this is just more air.

[Saboburns]

69. Well...

Link to tweet

?s=20&t=zr87D-27nX2_8UTJEBXEvg

[inthewind21]

78. So,

Has Trump been charged with ANYTHING? Anything at all? Do you think ALL warrants result in a conviction? Do you know why search warrant's are issued? What came of the FBI search warrant served on Rudy Giuliani in 2019? There was a warrant that lined out statues in his investigation as well. Is he in jail? Has he had a trial? Has he been arrested for anything? Because a warrant lines out statutes does not mean there will be arrests and convictions. I'll wait to celebrate when something actually happens.

[Saboburns]

83. Do you mean something like Donald Trump's home being raided by the FBI?

Or that in the warrant he is being investigated for violating three major laws, INCLUDING OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, AND BREAKING THE ESPIONAGE ACT, in an ongoing investigation. Cause somehow they got a Federal Judge to grant a warrant agreeing there's probable cause Donnie broke those laws.

Cause, er um, those things really happened.

But whatever, you do you and I certainly won't tell you how to think.

But me, I do what I want!

[sarcasmo]

42. Hope you're right.

[SheltieLover]

43. Has a major news source confirmed a sting operation?

[inthewind21]

79. No

Because there wasn't one.

[SheltieLover]

82. Thx

Very busy with rl here, lots of distractions

[Tickle]

51. Who did he sell the secrets to? nt

[sheshe2]

97. My guess is Russia and Saudi.

He had to pay back Russia for getting him elected. As for Saudi, they paid Jared 2 billion dollars and we the public do not know why. Pretty sure DOJ knows.

Tick Tock.

[Joinfortmill]

110. Yup, that's big, very big.

[wiggs]

52. He may be done politically this time, we hope. But what has allowed DJT to be 'successful' in

turning our nation, and others, onto the autocracy path has been planned for 45 years. Not Trump specifically of course...but the implementation of certain tools is not an accident nor is it a coincidence: fomentation of hate and polarization; creation of great inequality; consolidation of media outlets; think tanks dedicated to lifting up favored ideas; denigration of education, unions, the 'coasts'; labeling of safety nets and other programs as socialism; changing the american dream from owning a home to owning a mansion;...etc.

These were very expensive, long-planned activities that will not be given up by our own autocrats and those around the world.

When Trump is hobbled politically (and hopefully criminally) we will have to turn our attention to the next narcissist/autocrat/criminal.

[SWBTATTReg]

54. Traitor. Sold his Country out for a few measly bucks.

[sheshe2]

98. Oh, it wasn't measly bucks.

His whole family raked in millions, Jared walked with 2 billion from Saudi alone.

[thomski64]

don't get too high, and the fall won't be so hard.

[moonshinegnomie]

61. more than just him need to go down

the entire party thats supported him needs to be crushed too. obliterated and consigned to the dustbin of history

[sheshe2]

99. Why do you think this is taking so long?

This runs deep and there are so many players involved.

[Joinfortmill]

63. Politico reporting Trump may have violated edpionage act.

[inthewind21]

81. Key words

"may have". Just like they reported he "may have" been involved in insurrection. He 'may have" interfered with congress. He "may have cheated on his taxes" he "may have raped women. He "may have" violated the emoluments clause. and and and.... "My have" means jack.

[lpbk2713]

64. Trump should get an asterisk in history books from now on.

*Most deplorable pResident ever.

[MarcoZandrini]

65. OMG!!

The basis for the warrant was the Espionage Act. Let that sink in.

[USALiberal]

68. 50/50

[IbogaProject]

75. I hope this is it

But the ready to go "it's a Hoax to distract from the New IRS agents" story is holding their side together for now.

89. I still worry about timing.

Republicans don’t play fair and I’m worried about the midterms. Democrats have got to vote in numbers so great they even the Republican cheating can’t work.

And, "FBI is the best run organization in the world at what they do."

Also nope.

101. I'm not counting my chickens just yet

This guy is so oily that he may very well find a way to wriggle out of this.

He won’t be finished until he shuffles off this mortal coil.

[cstanleytech]

102. Well, just to point out he still has to be charged and then it has to go to trial before a jury.

A jury I will point out is likely to have at least one Trump worshiping nutjob on it but even if he is convicted he has appeals and if it makes it to SCOTUS I have zero faith in the 6 Republican judges on the court and am willing to bet that they will find a bullshit pretext to throw the case out.

[JHB]

103. The show ain't over until the prison cell door clangs.

Preferably on more people than Orange Jumpsuitius.

Encouraging, but it's not behind us yet.

off this. I want this traitor locked up until judgement day.

[Ferrets are Cool]

106. For me, it is not over and done until tfg and others are behind bars for their crimes.

[muriel_volestrangler]

107. You think it was a sting operation, but you also think he sold secrets for cash

and that the FBI has proof of that. The order of events you're claiming is unclear, but either:

He sold the secrets after the FBI started the sting (which must have been after Biden became president, because the FBI couldn't mount a sting operation against a sitting president), in which case you're calling them incompetent for not preventing it

or

He sold the secrets first, and then at some point, the FBI mounted your sting operation, to ... what? How does a new sting obtain proof of what he had previously done?

Either way, you're painting (without evidence) a picture of a directionless FBI that mounted a seemingly pointless "sting".

Just to check, please define "sting op".

[Joinfortmill]

108. I never doubted Joe Biden or Merrick Garland. Go back and listen to Joe about the "soul of America".

[Scrivener7]

111. It's the only explanation that fits the facts we know.

I really hope it's true because the alternative would be terrifying.

[housecat]

112. How can we ever find an untainted jury? If he goes to prison,

he will likely die from one or more of the following:

1) inmates will kill him
2) someone else will kill him
3) he won't have drugs
4) he'll starve because he won't have servants and yes-men and women to feed his ego
5) he'll die because he won't win anything, but he will see enemies win
