Iām not super fond of the DOJ 60 day rule. If something is a clear and present dangerā¦why are we sitting on that? Also Trump isn't even on the ballot. He hasn't declared anything yet. Sooooo....? |

kind of like, you know, a former president selling the US secrets to the highest bidder at his luxury resort
i'm sort of tic because they keep using 'unprecedented' but the entire 45 "presidency" was a master class in this shit shouldnt be happening with a president of the US OF A.

I need some help - that picture is how they found the documents? Just lying on the floor like that? Probably not. When we do search warrants where things are found - photo. Then boxing them up to take back - photo. My guess is this is the inventory photo of the box. |

Regarding the 60 day rule, it's long-standing tradition at the DOJ to not speak on political cases during the 60 days before an election. It doesn't mean no investigation is happening, only that it won't be commented upon. It was invoked back in the Obama administration as well during the Patreaus scandal. Theoretically since it's tradition, it could be discarded for significant cases. But given the stakes, I understand the desire to keep quiet.

I get that, totally but also is he legally a private citizen or not. Because it feels like that changes daily. And I know it's not that cut and dry. I guess I just want it to be. |

If 45 declares he cant use his campaign funds for his legal things but can continue to fundraise is what I think i've heard,
i could be way off or misunderstood when they were talking about it. but once he declares the rules change for his donations.

Iām sitting here trying to think how I feel if it goes the other way and I think Iām just not a fan. Like if something is important, go forth with it. But this is why Iām not in charge. Lol. |

LOL - no one is allowed in. Hell, if unexpected folks are present - they get searched too before they're allowed to leave. I am really enjoying the faux-wide-eyed wonder at how the mechanics of these work. Obviously not you elle. But if you had better lawyers, they could have told you how this was going to go. |

I need some help - that picture is how they found the documents? Just lying on the floor like that? very unlikely. When I have to go nsite to collect data for a lawsuit or seizure we have to create detailed indexes of documents. So we would photo original location, photo each roc nation r binder or stack of receipts etc, and then create an index entry via excel and a paper slipsheet. It's a slow process on the best of days. So likely this is them pulling docs out to documenta individually. They prova all came from the same drawer or shelf etc. |

I've searched cars of people onsite because they implicated themselves as involved in our target searches before. The owner is not allowed to be present. Just no! |

I live 1 hour from a Six Flags and I haven't been there since my Physics class went in high school. I live 2.5 hours from a very family friendly amusement park in Indiana. We go every summer. It's clean, the drinks are all free and they have great roller coasters and water rides. Looks like I can continue avoiding six flags. I live less than an hour from Six Flags and am a very hard pass. So expensive and crowded and gross. We live much closer to smaller, family owned amusement park, one of the first in the nation. We go there when we need our amusement park yeah button hit. So nice and clean and enjoyable. |

I saw speculation that she might win but I almost didn't dare hope for it. Flipping the seat after a 50 year streak. Amazing.

This and in an article in (I think) NY Magazine, he basically said he was trying to decide whether to announce before or after the midterms, but that the decision to run has already been made. |

No clue where you live, but if your % of free/reduced lunch population is over a certain threshold (I can't remember if it's 60% or 70%?) then the whole school just gets free lunch. We randomly toe that line in the district I work at and have gotten it before and then taken away. Or maybe your district is just cool and found a way to make it work. I reallllly wish they could get that bill passed again. |

Weāve never gotten universal free lunch until the pandemic. It will be interesting to see if anything gets said about if they āfoundā the money somewhere or if we happened to qualify š¤ |
