Let’s just say I’ve had prior interactions with the ‘abusee’, and now I don’t bother engaging.

Great, thanks for illustrating my point so succinctly! 
Seriously, you’re analysis is too important to short-chage it like this! 
Sometimes, it is rhetorically useful to burn the playing field to the goddamn ground. And you may care to take notice that I brought fucking receipts.
A wise boss once asked me - “Rowlf, do you want to be right, or do you want to effective?”
Me, I choose effective whenever I can…
Burning a troll to the ground is more effective than attempting to persuade it of the error in its thinking.
Note that the troll never bothered to respond on the merits.
Or that he would miss a chance to soak us taxpayers for various griftage like golf cart rentals to those same Secret Service agents.

That was done with a very fine sense of timing. Poor guy didn’t even get to finish his Yelp review of the meal he’d just had.
ETA: Sadly, I have yet to see any video of the event, but the way I play it in my mind is probably better, anyway.
“Mr. Eastman? (flash badge) FBI. (snatch phone) Thank you for (shove in face) unlocking your device for us. (scribble) Here’s your voucher.”

All the table wine probably helped some too.

Mille grazie. That was not bad at all. Especially the whining over whether he was presented with the warrant 15 seconds before or after his phone was seized.
What usually happens after the president is elected and before he’s sworn in is that he forms a cabinet, chooses advisors, etc. all of it in order to have a smooth running administration. Orange did none of that. He immediately set out primarily to monetize his presidency. Governing? What’s that? It’s for schmucks.

Let’s hope you are right and that I’m wrong…although I will say that so far the Federal government has failed to hold Twitler accountable for breaking numerous laws on many different occasions and for several decades now. Or are those only alleged…since no one bothered to actually investigate those thoroughly either?
So who is the stupid person? The one who thought that Twitler would never be President… or the person who remains extremely skeptical that the USG is capable or willing to prosecuting this crime boss finally? For if the DOJ, SEC, Federal Bank, IRS, etc, etc, were really up to the task, Twitler would have never been President in all likelihood…or is that stupid thinking too?
I’ve given this question a great deal of consideration, and the inescapable conclusion is that it is you.
You don’t even bother to engage on the merits, you just skip straight to DDDOOOOOOOOOMM!1!! DOOOooooooooooommmmMMMM!!

Calling people stupid?
When they claim demonstrably stupid shit to be true, you betcha. Come in hot on Scientology next time and see how that goes.
Uh…you seem to be the one who came in “hot” here…you might want to review the entire subthread history there before continuing with you line of exposition and rhetoric here…
