The FBI is required to give to Trump an inventory of what was found in the search; if Trump claims he had no govt property in his home and this is a witch hunt, then he should release the search inventory. Time to put up or shut up......

I'm hoping it's true that they wouldn't go in unless they're rock solid they were going to get something, and I don't mean a stray classified but not too important document. I would like to believe that it's true it was something they had to get right away to prevent harm vs., eh, let's get some evidence of something.

That is my hope as well. I was thinking about the "put up or shut up" challenge in the tweet. It only works if the FBI gives him a receipt whether or not something was found. In that case, if they found nothing, then Trump would have already waved that piece of paper in front of a TV camera - and since he didn't, we could pretty confidently conclude the FBI found something bad.

On the other hand, if the FBI only provides a receipt if evidence is actually seized, then if they found nothing Trump would have no piece of paper to show, so it might be some time before we know how it went.

On Monday, FBI agents “seized paper,” said Ms. Bobb, the Trump lawyer who was present during the FBI search. A spokesman for the Secret Service referred questions to the FBI, where a spokeswoman declined to comment.

Some users on pro-Trump internet forums told users to “lock and load,” agitated for civil war and urged protesters to head to Mar-a-Lago in the hours after news broke that the FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Florida compound on Monday.

One user posting about the “civil war” shortly after the search was Tyler Welsh Slaeker, a Washington state man awaiting sentencing for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to previous research and statements posted online. A report in December by Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit investigative group, found that Slaeker posted to the pro-Trump internet forum TheDonald under the username “bananaguard62.”

On Monday night, the username “bananaguard62” posted the top reply to the “lock and load” post.

“Are we not in a cold civil war at this point?” the account asked. Another user responded, “several points ago.” Another top reply to Slaeker quoted a notorious antisemitic Nazi rallying cry.

In the months before Jan. 6, Slaeker had posted selfies to his bananaguard62 account, and he would later appear in photos from the Capitol riot and arrest records. On Jan. 6, he uploaded a photo of himself watching Trump’s speech from a tree on the Ellipse. Metadata from that photo confirms it was taken by Slaeker, according to the Advance Democracy Report. NBC News has also seen the photo and its metadata.

In the minutes after news of the search broke, users on pro-Trump forums like TheDonald, a Reddit-like website that was used to provide logistics before the Capitol riot, urged immediate violence, asking questions like “When does the shooting start?” and calling upon Trump to summon militias.

The most popular comment responding to the news, upvoted over 1,200 times, was simply the words “lock and load.”

Later on in the night, Slaeker clarified in a reply that he could not be more specific about his civil war post.

“I am awaiting sentencing for trespassing into the Capitol,” he wrote. “I am only being careful with my words.”

Slaeker’s recent posts illustrate that some of the same people on extremist forums talking about “civil war” or angling for more violence have taken real-life action in the past.

“Prior to the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, we saw unprecedented plans online to conduct real-world violence,” Advance Democracy President Daniel J. Jones, a former Senate Intelligence Committee staff member, said in a statement. "The online outrage was based on false allegations of voter fraud and bizarre theories of coordinated government corruption. The raid by the FBI has provoked similar violent rhetoric online — including from at least one individual charged in relation to the insurrection on January 6th.

I have a gun, and 500 rounds of ammunition, and my boys know how to shoot. I have been practicing disassembly and assembly, and I plan to join a local shooting range. I am liberal up to a point, and then look out.
