DOJ: Release Of Mar-a-Lago Affidavit Would Endanger Witnesses - TPM – Talking Points Memo

I’m pretty sure endangering the witnesses is the entire point.

Thuggery has always been part of our history. It’s just dispiriting that this day in age it is still with us to such an extent.

Yeah, Donnie and his allies requesting the unsealing the affidavit is a call for volunteers to do their witness tampering.

But keeping this information under wraps will feed Trump’s paranoia to the point that he will be unable to think of anything else until the pressure becomes so great his head explodes…Never mind.

Boom! This wasn’t just an effort by the FBI to recover documents. There is an active ongoing criminal investigation and people are talking. The worst facts for Trump still haven’t seen the light of day.

The Right didn’t need this explanation; it was the foundation of their demand that the affidavit be released. The intent to harm is absolute.

He’s being hit from so many different directions I’d be surprised if he’s able to sleep.

Good job, MAGAts.

Your penchant for violence has effed you again.

Perfect reason for not releasing the affidavit.

We as a country must never ever place ourselves in a situation like this again.

My guess is he misplaced the passports. If they were “seized” wouldn’t that be some kind of new bombshell revelation that explodes today?

TFG is doing everything in his power to incite his magats and it is not working. He is getting more desperate by the minute.

It’s asking for the witness to take way too much of a risk, but it would be a great opportunity to entrap some violent MAGATs and make an example of them like they did in Cincinnati. The witness’ house would make an excellent roach motel.

How dare the DOJ prevent Trump’s thugs from threating witnesses and their families.
Dirty looking, bearded, shaggy haired heavily armed males in Pickup trucks remines me of Afghanistan not our Country.

It’s become Trump’s MO to release his folks on those he thinks are out to get him.

I sure hope they took them. He’s a criminal with his own plane.

I think his foot soldier Lindell could help him with that problem. That’s what friends are for.
