Garland: DOJ To Seek Partial Release Of Trump Search Warrant - TPM – Talking Points Memo

When we asked recently what makes TPM different from other outlets, readers cited factors like honesty, curiosity, transparency, and our vibrant community. They also pointed to our ability to report on important stories and trends long before they are picked up by mainstream outlets; our ability to contextualize information within the arc of history; and our focus on the real-world consequences of the news.

I really appreciate this. No reason for the GQP crime organization to rip the country apart for weeks or months. Violence would escalate. Someone would die. The former guy has already weaponized the search warrant. Good that DOJ is doing this for the country.

Garland is playing this beautifully. All Trump had to do is to shut the fuck up about it and nobody would know what they have on him, but he couldn’t do that. He had to play the screaming victim. Now we’re all gonna know what he did. Good job, dumb ass.

they’re waiting for an authority figure to tell them what to think and say. QAnon also, too.

Garland wants to redact LEO name from the inventory receipt, so Trump’s totally gonna release it in full just to spite the FBI agents involved.

Glad to see Garland calling Trump’s bluff and disproving all of the lies against him about the FBI planting evidence and BS like that.

MAGATS keep claiming Garland is a liar with no claims or actual proof, like always.

O libtards, this is damage control. I went to Dick Wolf University, so I know a flailing and panicking legal stunt when I see one!

And all those R’s dutifully sought to cast as much shade as possible on DOJ, Garland, the FBI and Wray. What an embarrassment they all are.

The Justice Department moved Thursday to unseal portions of the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago, absent any complaints from former President Trump, Attorney General Merrick Garland said.

What are the rules here? If Trump’s legal grift Goons don’t respond by when it gets unsealed?

Any odds on how long it would take the court to decide? Does it need a hearing or anything like that which would delay stuff?

We are all appalled that the DOJ had to go to such lengths to counter the rantings of the ex Prez…is there any part of reasonable responsibility and compliance that the Don would consider as he heads for even deeper legal gymnastics?
