Same could be said about DJT:

Winston Churchill once said of John Foster Dulles "He’s the only bull I know who carries his own china closet with him."

Reporting on this blather should focus on the fact Trump’s lying ( as he always does ). He does NOT want those document out but must feed his base lies and put on a tough guy act. The documents will out sooner or later and when that happens Trump will condemn the leak.

Some day I’ll open up TPM and not see 5 images of Trump on the front page.

Donnie has demanded its release but will block it in court. It’s all about perception on social media for him.

Like @dicktater said last night, he just wants to look like he’s in control after a Very Bad No Good Day in which Garland very publicly proved who’s got the power now.

The Magistrate is very likely going to unseal the warrant and receipt regardless of whether Donnie opposes it or not.

“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing,” the DOJ wrote in the filing.

I think Garland was trolling with that.

Lovely.

Look for the BS dump today at 3 o’clock on why his “only the best people” legal team will not allow the release

It’s unclear why he hasn’t done so.

No, it’s not unclear. He’s fund-raising/grifting off the accusation that there’s no there there. As soon as the list is released, his grift is over.

OT. I never imagined that a law enforcement officer in America would turn traitor, violently invade the Capitol and participate in a coup aimed at hanging the Vice President. Thomas Robertson and Jacob Fracker were members of the police department in Virginia.

At 2:59 EST today: “On advice from my spectacular counsel, I am opposing release of this horrible, un-American search warrant.”

Talking about this same thing last night.

Imagine the NSA or CIA discovered these exact documents transmitted to and in the hands of a foreign power. Saudi’s? Russia? Turks & Caicos?

DJT will still be supported by his MAGATS.

In my opinion that is a light sentence for a cop participating in a violent coup attempt.

If it’s true that Trump had concealed nuclear documents, Republicans will have to start spinning faster than a new Saudi centrifuge.

Why doesn’t Trump release the copy of the warrant and the inventory list of seized items himself? Because he is counting on his numbskull supporters to not know that he can release the documents himself. That way he can lie that the Biden administration is doing something bad and these numbskulls will believe him.
