When EJ Carroll and AG James start seizing and liquidating Trump properties, he's going to be liable for the capital gains taxes on them, since they've appreciated substantially since he bought them.
Which means he'll owe the IRS $100M's, too.
His house of cards is imploding.
Evidence:
- Barr visited Epstein in his cell
- He died suspiciously 2 days later
- Barr attempted to visit Maxwell in her cell
- Maxwell's lawyer anticipated this; he requested that a judge block Barr
- The judge granted it
Conclusion: The US AG is suspected of murder.
Governor Anne Richards of Texas had a point-blank answer for people who proposed imposing their religious views about abortion on everybody else.
She was loved for her blunt, no-nonsense manner and her common sense thinking.
On January 6th, Marjorie Taylor Greene called for the execution of Nancy Pelosi, falsely alleging she'd committed treason.
That's felony libel.
And incitement to violence.
The mob chased Pelosi, while Boebert texted her location.
Later, a man attempted to murder her in her home.
Incredible
Iโd never seen this clip
MTG is literally telling them: murder Pelosi
It doesnโt take speculation to see that.She just laid it out
Garland stop the pansy act &let Jack Smith &the DOJ do what it need with these traitors
No excuse
Who agrees?
It's a violation of the Flag Code to display the flag upside down except to signal a dire emergency.
It's a lot more disrespectful than kneeling during the national anthem, which isn't prohibited by law.
@RepStefanik
1. It was a search, not a raid. It says so on the warrant.
2. He's not a president. He's just Citizen Trump. We have a new president now. Try to keep up.
3. A judge approved the search based on evidence of a crime. To avoid this happening to you, don't be a criminal. Simple.

Trump lied when he claimed he sent the National Guard to DC. He *blocked* them from assisting.
It took a bypass order from the Secretary of Defense to activate the NG, in defiance of Trump's order.

I'm pretty sure most people's idea of the American dream didn't involve abduction at knife- or gunpoint, transport in hellish and toxic conditions for thousands of miles, starvation, beatings, and servitude for generations.
Not even close.
A few footnotes:
1. Kushner asked for a refi loan; Qatar refused.
2. 30 days later, the US joined a Saudi naval blockade of Qatar
3. Qatar lent Kushner the money
4. The US left the blockade.

Matt Gaetz has no sons, adopted or natural.
Calling Nestor his "son" is a fiction to disguise the awkwardness of a man's having no legal relationship to his live-in teenage boy companion.
"My son is a college freshman. He had no real graduation, no prom, and I struggled with whether or not to allow him to enjoy spring break at Panama City beach. I allowed him to have an abbreviated one." -- Matt Gaetz on Nestor
Reminder: Ivanka Trump is not a federal employee. She's only a presidential adviser, with no claim to a seat at the Inauguration for her role.
She's Trump's daughter, but he canceled. Protocol dictates that if he no-shows, she must, too.

are not bad enough?
What is?
44 Senators just signed a resolution stating that the process designed by Republican Speaker John Boehner and passed by the GOP-led House in 2015 fails the test for due process.
That process was used by Trey Gowdy to question 103 witnesses in secret and waste $7 million.

Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.

It's much worse than that.
The Constitution grants the authority of oversight to Congress. Oversight requires the ability to look at anything and everything.
For the ODNI to usurp Congress's authority by curtailing their scope is unconstitutional.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligenceโs decision to cancel all election security briefings for the Congress is a shocking abdication of its responsibility to keep Congress informed.

That's a sweeping generalization fallacy, Mitch.

It is UNPATRIOTIC.

Why not ask why Trump hasn't published the search warrant?
It itemizes the evidence that the DOJ is searching for, and why they believe it's located at Mar-a-Lago.
(No need to harass the DOJ; they already proved their case to a judge to get the warrant.)
DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.

It is illegal to campaign on federal property.

Also, Republicans' repeated assertions that "regulations kill jobs" have yet to be proven. They are just bogus claims.
