“They’re carrying out the law!!”

They've been doing this to poor people all along. Like Breonna Taylor. they're just mad it's happened to their golden god.
Allnaturalflavor
holy fuck what’s with all the trump posts lately
TheEvenPrez
I mean, we literally protested because cops shot Breonna Taylor in her sleep and you mocked us

Do I get to watch them decide if they want to back the blue again? Because January was pretty traumatic and treasonous.
flacoloco
yep, told that to a family member and her expression was the same. no comeback except "its over reach and its illegal" which I responded 1/-
"its illegal to crime", and she just grab her drink & smokes and left to the patio.
I wish I could have taken a video

I work in Federal compliance and literally none of these Maga nuts have any fucking clue how any of this works.

Just wait until they learn about no-knock warrants.

I noticed no one on the right is saying "Trump is innocent" though. It's all "omg, how can you treat him like a criminal?"
ArkoneAxon
No, they're saying he's innocent and being unjustly persecuted. It's actually pretty funny to listen to them.
ScrapCode
my fav is Rand Paul who isn't denying Trump violated the espionage act he's trying to make it retroactively legal for him to break it

Because they know he’s not but allegiance to America doesn’t mean much to them anymore

I mean, sure. That's the law.

Well if I am ever POTUS and take extremely sensitive documents to my home I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the FBI.

I can't recall amy republicans complaining when they searched Hillary's email servers.... just saying
TupacsHomie
Because they didnt. Hillary turned the server over to the FBI, but only after wiping it. Honestly, she should have been charged as well.

Your opinion is yours, but your statement is factually incorrect. FBI obtained and executed several warrants in the Clinton investigation.

I guess Comey Barrett decided to just spell it out for the base and get a name change?

Let's be fair to this argument, though; A lot of my far-left heroes were also investigated by government agencies even though they didn't do
DevonGronka
MLK of all people had an FBI file, and they literally tried to get him to commit suicide. Malcom X, the Black Panthers, etc.
miserycones
Yeah it's more of a "newsflash asshole they've been doing it this whole time" situation
anything wrong. Pete Seeger was blacklisted and investigated and they had a file on him than I was willing to read, and literally all he did
was encourage people to break out of the typical American system and see that there are other options, that peaceful environmentalism can
actually defeat materialistic consumerism. I'm not saying this excuses Trump, I'm just saying, there is actually some credence to the idea

When the pendulum swings far enough left or far enough right we eventually meet back in the middle. Hopefully rational thought wins the day
Nobody7713
When in American history has the pendulum actually swung far enough to the left to warrant a correction?
that government agencies can be used to add an air of legitimacy to mcarthy-esque attacks against "the other".
spittleteets
Yes, US gov't kept files on MLK, John Lennon, Charlie Chaplin etc, but there is a burden of evidence that a search WAS warranted. Trump 1/2
IusallypoopwhileImonhere
But this wasn’t that. The threat is that a fair legal system is set up that gave him plenty of time before they got a warrant to search
witless1
If anything this is the exact opposite of that. Not only did 45 have to do SOO much to get this far into an investigation it had to be done
Elsoyyo
..and it's the same? ...even similar enough that Hoover-like investigation being similar to executing a search warrant?
I'm not saying it's the same, and further in the thread I explained that, but what I am saying is that we need to be careful about using the
reasoning that "it was a legal federal action signed-off by legitimate authorities" to add legitimacy to political attacks. In this scenario
it does seem absolutely legitimate and like all things are in order, but it's the facts of this case that make that true, not the agency.
So if the argument truly is "it was a legal federal action signed-off by legitimate authorities", that's dangerous thinking for any radical.
"Let's be fair to this argument, though; "...and then give an specious example hinting similarity.
So the Palmer raids weren't real? McCarthyism didn't happen? Pete Seeger's FBI file isn't 1800 pages long? I gave you real examples.
You were equating them Champ.
I say this as a far-left radical who'd rather see a socialist revolution in the US. I'd like to be able to say that without legitimate
