Special Counsel Jack Smith: Judgement Day (one way or the other)

I’d be surprised if Trump actually owns any of those properties. I don’t know how civil asset forfeiture works with respect to properties owned wholly or jointly by shell companies.

#352

The only experience I remember with civil forfeiture is that the LE seize first and ask questions later.

Maybenaut · #353

Yeah, and I know they don’t waste time seizing assets where the entire purpose of the shell company is to launder money or avoid sanctions, like they did earlier this year with some Russian Oligarchs. But Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster probably aren’t that. It’ll be interesting, for sure.

I admit it would be a hoot for the feds to sell M-a-L to, say, the DNC at auction.

Ima sit on that one.

Newt Gingrich testified to the Grand Jury. Newt's been giving Dick Morris a run for his money on the worst, most incorrect political predictions.

Right on cue, Fox and MAGAts desperately try to change the subject.

MAL is garish with the current occupant, and considering the understated behaviors of other extremely wealthy folks, garish is not a dirty enough word. That opulent lifestyle has historical significance as to the Gilded Age, and actually beautiful for that reason. Now, there is no amount of disinfectant to wipe MAL clean from the shit stain that is trump.

P.s. to add...I spent some time there ions ago.

Yeah, well, if I was a spy looking for classified documents I don't think I would ever in a million years have decided hey, I know, I will look in Biden's garage!

On the other hand, I would definitely have believed I could not only find some at MAL, but probably could have sweet talked Trump into showing them to me. Just pay him a couple of compliments - that's pretty much all it takes.

I'm sure the news reporters have learned from their previous mistakes and confirmed this before giving it maximum visibility.

Tonight's the night Jack’s gonna make it happen
Tonight he'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some attention

Set my minions on you
I want to halt you, fault you
I just can't give it up
And can you move real slow, just let it go

I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I’ll try to fight it
I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it
And oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no I’m so screwed

And we shouldn't even think about this witch hunt
Those declassified documents are mine
This election interference makes me worry
As if you're not playin' around, Jack, that ain’t fine

I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I’ll try to fight it
I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it
And oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no I’m so screwed, I’m so screwed
Oh shit I’m screwed

Oh Jack, I want to stop you, delay you
Set my minions on you
I want to halt you, fault you
I just can't give it up
And can you move real slow, just let it go

I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I’ll try to fight it
I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it
And oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no I’m so screwed, I’m so screwed

Look what you do to me
You got me freaking out (Freaking out)
How did you get to me?
I'll never give it up

And I'm so indicted (Look what you do to me)
Oh Jack (You got me freaking out)
I'm freaking out yeah, oh I’ll try to fight it (Yeah)
You, you, you, you, you got me (I'll never give it up)
