Thoughts, (a) would DeSantis have had to know about this, and (b) Wouldn't Clinton have been the first Presidents home to be searched, and (c) Marry lardo is not the Presidents "Home" as it cant be because of Tax reasons. Its a business that he owns.

[MsDaisy]

I suspect that right-wing violence in this great land of ours is about to skyrocket. They are saying they won't tolerate this because they won't.

I am probably to the point of saying, well fuck em.

Arm yourselves, libs. I've been saying for some time that liberals should have guns.

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.

We have guns too, 3 of them but we live way out in the country and sometimes you have to shoot injured critters that turn up but that’s a job MrD has to tend to. My job is to rescue those that can be rescued from wee little things up to this damn black snake that got it’s self all tangled up in a bunch of old bird net that was out in one of the sheds. There is no more bird net anywhere on this property. Nasty stuff! The poor little thing seemed quite relieved when I turned him loose outside.

Oh and (d) whoever tipped off the FBI has to have access to Marry Lardo on a minute to minute basis. I cant think of anyone who has that access that would have a motive to turn Him in.

I think black pine snakes are beautiful, but they are mean as....well, snakes.

JUST IN: Trump says he has pleaded the Fifth in his deposition with the New York State AG.

"Under the advice of my counsel ... I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution."

[p0rtia]

I'm shocked.

What's to have kept tfg from hiding documents in, say, the larder, or other places unlikely to be searched?

A search warrants is, contrary to what the name might suggest, an authorization to search for things, and not just authorization to search places.

So the warrant doesn't say, you may search the kitchen but not the bathroom. It says you may look for documents (for example), which means you may look for documents in all places at the location in which a document could reasonably be stored. So agents may open your spouse's closet, but not your spouse's jewelry box.

Having said that, I would not be surprised if this warrant expressly authorized popping the safe.

would DeSantis have had to know about this

No. Cooperation between different jurisdictions' law enforcement agencies does happen, but it isn't necessary.

Especially when the target is a person in politics or otherwise notable. OpSec means limiting those who need to know.

I see he picked up on the NY Post's whine that his lawyers were booted from the premises. A line that will play great with the masses, but is laughable for anyone who knows anything about how searches are actually conducted.

Hmmmm....I seem to recall, oh wait here is a December 17, 2021 Newsweek article that recalls Trump's notion about taking the 5th.

A reminder that in 2016, Trump said: "The mob takes the Fifth. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"

Hijacking this thread to honor MsDaisy for rescuing the beautiful black snake. Which leads me to the Fogbow Snake Flag which would feature a king snake or other beautiful black snake who benefits the ecosystem. We needz a motto and a design!

Ecological niche
Pine snakes are important for their ecosystem as due to their diet habits, these snakes control populations of agricultural pests such as mice, rats, and gophers. https://animalia.bio/pine-snake

Will our Irish mouse approve of a Fogbow snake flag?

I wasn't aware of pine snakes.

I want to know how many times he had to repeat that sentence

Trump really goes out of his way to look guilty in every way.

Lara Trump says the FBI searched through Melania’s wardrobe.

Major outrage on Fox about this *news*. Just started putting myself through an hour to see if they actually mention Trump pleading the fifth.

How did Bob already know they looked in Melania’s closet?

Off Topic

We have a black snake that lives in our bushes. I call him Snakey. The women in the neighborhood think I'm crazy. Also, there's the snake thing.

What I wondered about was searching a property that has a private residence as well as guest rooms, food service operation, etc.

What if one of the members is a hostile agent and tfg was helpfully giving them access? That would be something.

Bob is all knowing and all powerful!

Isn’t it against the terms of his club’s agreement with Palm Beach that permanent residence is prohibited?

[Slim Cognito]

Yes but he's special.

[bob]

How did Bob already know they looked in Melania’s closet?

I claimed it as my primary residence. For tax purposes, of course.

More seriously, I read that factlette in the NY Post, and suspected it would become a point of outrage.

Because no drug dealer has ever tried to hide the stash in his girl's panty drawer.

It must be very unsettling for Trump to have a rat very close to him, when he doesn’t know who it is, or what they will continue to do.

[Slim Cognito]

So, bets on who the MAL mole is? They knew what they were looking for and they knew which three rooms to search. If they walked out with about a dozen boxes, it sounds like they found it. Who would trump share that information with? I'd assumed his Secret Service buds were all kissing his hiney, so was he showing it off to someone else, someone who grew a conscience?
