Guess all the treasonous Trump officials should start sleeping in their clothes—the FBI seems to prefer these pre-dawn raids.

I’m not a lawyer, so @txlawyer can correct me if I’m mistaken, but…

I’m pretty sure, if you used to be a high ranking official in the Department of Justice, and the FBI shows up with a warrant to search your house, your career has taken an unfortunate turn. I mean, maybe it’s someone’s idea of a practical joke, but, it seems rather more likely that they are almost certain you’ve committed a crime, and you’re going to end up holding an indictment with your name on it.

ALL the fake electors should pay a price. All these people knew what they were doing was wrong.

Anybody know if this kind of pre-dawn raid requires any sort of approval up the chain of command, or is the timing up to the officer conducting the search?

Search warrant = Probable cause = More likely than not that a federal crime was committed + More likely than not that the thing to be searched contains evidence of the crime

Wow. The indignation! Imagine! Like Navarro exclaiming, “They put me in handcuffs!!” as if he were being assaulted by the law.

I’m beginning to think that the story line of the J6 Select Committee and DOJ not assisting each other is intentional. I am sure each has its stipulations and requirements per statutes and authorities but wouldn’t it be a nice thing for the suspects to think there is friction and they can say different things to each entity? I’m not a lawyer but rather a student of government so I might be blowing bubbles here.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say FAFO and LOL. Nicely timed, I might tell the DOJ, since 'this the focus of today’s Select Committee hearing. Who else wants to get up early to the knock, knock, knocking on their chamber door.
Wake up.
You have a choice how this plays out!

“But I’m an environmental lawyer (that’s why I know so much about thermostats, by the way, and how they screw with the electoral emvironment) - not an election lawyer or even a criminal lawyer! I didn’t know it was a crime to try to overturn an election.”

And, Russ Vought, I think we are in an era of criminalizing, you know, crimes. And there seem to have been plenty going around.

In the street. O Dear. But at least they didn’t stuff him in a squad car, or deliver 29 COD pizzas.
