Lawyers like Trump wants can get plenty of clients without Trump's baggage.

When you have a moment -- How does the gift link work? How much does it cost? Have seen WaPo and NYT gift links, are they the same price?

:confuzzled:

I subscribe to WAPO, so they let me gift - I think there's a monthly limit. I was on a NYT article (I don't subscribe) and tried for kicks to gift and it said I had to be a subscriber, so there's where I left it. Others smarter than me can weigh in :)

Former president Donald Trump has called on a judge to unseal the affidavit central to last week’s FBI search of his Florida home, believing that any information made public about the investigation into his handling of classified material will electrify his supporters and benefit him politically, according to people he has conferred with in recent days.

Some within Trump’s circle believe that releasing the document would give him additional ammunition to attack the integrity of the Justice Department’s inquiry. Yet others fear that such a move could backfire because they do not know exactly what it contains, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss their private conversations with the former president.

The affidavit, which likely contains witness names and other sensitive details about federal law enforcement’s methods and evidence, has emerged as the latest flash point in the ongoing criminal probe stemming from Trump’s dispute with the National Archives over materials taken from the White House when his term ended last year.

And surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago that was captured over 60 days and subpoenaed by the Justice Department shows people going in and out of the storage area where the classified documents were kept, said a person with knowledge of the footage

Normally I confine Bongino spew to the Bongino thread, but I’m going to put this here and I’ll tell you why. Bongino had a private dinner with tfg and one other person the other night. He’s been pretty tight lipped about it other than to say that it was 2+ hours and if anyone thinks this raid will deter tfg from running, it is having the opposite effect. Anyway. I bring that up to preface that on his show today Bongino rolled out that the SC info tfg had was old limo routes that had already been driven. Namely, his point being that routes driven by presidential vehicles are kept under extreme wraps - SCI wraps, but once they are driven it doesn’t matter anymore and it can be declassified. I’d completely blow it off except for Bongino’s intimate dinner with tfg, and the fact that Bongino was a Secret Service agent for many years including being assigned to presidential details.

Take for that what you will, I found it vaguely interesting. Most likely BS, but quite possibly BS they are testing for rollout.

I subscribe to both NYT and WaPo. Gift links to both are free to subscribers. Both limit the number of gift links outstanding to 10 per month. I thnk they mean per rolling 30-day time period. WaPo gift links can be accessed for 14 days; not sure about how long NYT gift links can be accessed.

But subscribers can give them out free.

NYT lets me as a basic subscriber gift 10 articles per month. Not sure about WaPo because my subscription is the deal they give government employees and I've never looked into the perks.

There’s a reason that stuff remains classified even after the route has been driven. It would provide people who want to do the President harm clues about route planning generally, and patterns the Secret Service* use to move the President around.

*I almost abbreviated that “SS” and thought it was a little too close to the mark in Trump’s case.

Trump Pleaded The Fifth 97 Times To Avoid Admitting To Adultery
But he has no problem attacking Clinton over her husband's infidelity.

In the summer of 1990, at the height of his bitter divorce from his first wife, Donald Trump was carrying on a very public extramarital affair with a former beauty queen, Marla Maples.

As part of the couple’s divorce proceedings, Ivana Trump’s lawyers asked him under oath about his dealings with other women and whether he had been faithful to his wife.

Instead of answering, Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Over the course of five depositions that summer, he was asked approximately 100 questions related to marital infidelity. He pleaded the Fifth on 97 of them.

“Donald preaches about his devotion to the Second Amendment, but it was the Fifth Amendment that was his favorite when he was deposed in the divorce with Ivana,” wrote biographer Wayne Barrett in his 1992 book, Trump: The Greatest Show on Earth. A New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement report later verified Barrett’s reporting on those depositions, which are still sealed.

For Trump, taking the Fifth seemed to work out well. He later bragged that he managed to settle the divorce without giving his first wife a penny more than required by the prenuptial agreement.

Now, with less than six weeks to go until Election Day, Trump is again focused on questions of marital infidelity and invoking Fifth Amendment rights. Only this time, the GOP presidential nominee has cast himself as the judge.

Kash Patel vs. Kash Patel

Patel maintains his line that info was 'declassified,' but admits:

"Cronies actually bureaucratically STOPPED the declassification process"

"I am going to continue that work at the National Archives, I apologize I CAN'T GET IT DECLASSIFIED overnight."

Liar, the classified stuff is handled exclusively by the National Archive. While you may still posses carryover security clearance (to expire any day now) this only give you read access to some secret documents if you know what to ask for. Your appointment is to handle the public treasure trove.

The Secret Service gets that, which is why when they are serving at Embassies overseas as attaches, it is abbreviated USSS. :)

Dear god, does he not know how to modulate his voice? Does he even have an inside voice? Does he talk like that all the time? I only hear him when he makes these silly videos or is speaking on stage.
Is that a blown-glass bong on the shelf level with his right ear?

I don't think anyone has. I know Fred bailed out of Germany when his mandatory service came up, then he returned years later and Germany revoked his citizenship for not serving. I remember reading something about one of tfg's children wanting to serve (Jr?) and tfg telling them in no uncertain terms that military service was only for losers.

That wasn't Fred. That was Fred's father Fredrich Drumpf, exiled from Bavaria.

My WAG is American Legion Post No. 45 presented it to "honor" his contributions to "helping" veterans. Or Arpaio flew that flag for two minutes on his third-to-last day as sheriff of the MCSO. Etc. The usual trinkets passed around by the usual people.
