Local angle. (The only reason for them to be in Rochester is Mayo Clinic. Likely an appointment for Kush.)

I don’t understand why he wouldn’t have just destroyed the records in the first place. Why go to the lengths to remove and hide them? Is not like he’s been that concerned with following laws in the past.

This is so confusing to me because there were reports that the Archives already got the documents back awhile ago. So clearly he kept stuff and the FBI knew about it in June. But they let them keep them for a couple months?

Ok but yeah, this is scary The rhetoric being used by the GOP right now is freaking me out to be honest. This from Ron Desantis and the tweets from Marco Rubio are very lock stepped on messaging and really look like signals to certain elements. I really don’t like the capital R in regime. This feels very dangerous.

But they let them keep them for a couple months? I know? Did they just not have the warrant lined up? Did they need more evidence before a warrant and they just got it? It’s super confusing.

So this does make it sound like he either lied about giving them all back or refused to give them back. “Federal agents were able to establish probable cause for the warrant because Trump and his lawyers had already turned over some classified documents that had been sought by the National Archives and Records Administration, the source said. Agents suspected that Trump was unlawfully holding other classified documents from his presidency in his private club and residence at Mar-a-Lago, which is the crux of the investigation led by the FBI and Justice Department in Washington, D.C.“ amp.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article264310461.html

I really feel like the ‘why now’ is that they somehow got wind of something specific he’s held on to via some of the 1/6 related testimony. Otherwise why just let it sit around for 2 months and give Trump world an opportunity to destroy it?

MTG tweeting "defund the FBI" has just ended me. These people are broken. The fact that they say all this shit completely unironically is what truly makes it. Like they can't even see how their shit stinks.

Having him physically not present removes a lot of unnecessary bs. I don’t think he’s in MAL at all during the summer though. But I agree that they avoid a lot when he’s not there.

Oh my god. Oh my god. I came running here. I’ve been pretty offline all day and just saw this news and announced it to my family. Everyone is cheering here. Is it too soon for the It’s Happening gif? I'm doing a quick scan to see if anyone did it yet. This definitely feels like it's happening. Please let this be the mother of finding out.

I hope the fact that he’s specifically outraged about the safe means he’s dumb enough to have something good in it
I agree the violent rhetoric is really scary
