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.

But that brings up another question. If it's his, why would jr have it and not, say, Mary?

Fred Trump Jr.

My take is anyone can buy a flag and fold it up like that. And Jr. would.

I'm confused about the size of the stars. They are really small. Even if you could get a flag that folds to those dimensions and actually manage to have four stars showing, they would be larger. Does he have a crappy insert in there?

If the flag was from an American Legion post and they folded a flag like they did my grandfather's*, I would admit an insert would be a better choice, but at least get stars that fit the dimensions of the flag.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like a plaque, not a flag.

It is a real flag case. Probably this one from these folks.

I am wondering if it might be, besides an insert, a 15-star or 20-star flag. There are probably some cheap flags with tiny stars.

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.

Ah, thank you!

Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump German pronunciation: [fʁi:dʁɪç tʁʊmp]; 14 March 1869 – 30 May 1918) was a German–American barber, businessman, and patriarch of the Trump family.

Born in the village of Kallstadt, in the Kingdom of Bavaria (now in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), Trump trained as a barber and then immigrated to the United States at the age of 16 and continued his former trade. Several years later, in 1891, he moved to Seattle and began speculating in real estate. Trump then returned to Bavaria and married Elisabeth Christ, the daughter of a former neighbor. As he had purportedly migrated to America in order to evade conscription, the Bavarian Government stripped Trump of his citizenship and permanently banished him following an investigation. As a result, Trump and his family returned to the United States. He became a U.S. citizen in 1892.[citation needed] During the Klondike Gold Rush, Trump travelled to the Yukon Territory and made his fortune by operating a restaurant and a brothel for miners in the boomtown of Whitehorse.

THINGS I'M WATCHING FOR:

-Literally anything Magistrate Judge Reinhart says. He may broadly characterize the contents of the affidavit. He may address threats against him and the (groundless, it seems) claims of bias.

-Which Trump lawyers show up, and do they address the court?

-Does Reinhart lean toward releasing a heavily redacted version of the affidavit rather than simply keeping the entire document under seal?

-Does Reinhart reveal more about the initial search warrant process to underscore his decision to grant/sign it?
