You Live in a Third-World Country and the FBI’s Coming After You!

Remember back in 2016 when the news broke that Hillary had a mail server in her home which was receiving government emails that might have contained classified stuff? That’s when Trump began leading ‘put her in jail’ chants at every rally and that’s when Hillary’s Presidential campaign started going off the rails.
Nobody could defend her, nobody wanted to defend her, and she couldn’t figure out how to defend herself for more than four months after the story broke, by which time her silence became the centerpiece of Trump’s campaign.
Let’s refer to that issue as Chappaqua-gate. Now we have a new issue with government documents sitting in someone’s house which we’ll call Mar-a-Lago-gate.
Except the difference between what happened to Hillary in 2016 and what happened yesterday after the FBI showed up to do a search of Trump’s office at his Florida home, was that this time the POS/GOP noise machine was immediately revved up and started to defend Trump all over the place.
One of the first defenders of Orange Shithead out of the gate was his daughter-in-law, who got booked onto Fucker Carlson’s show and stated that OS had the ‘authority’ to keep classified documents in his home. Where he got that authority from is anyone’s guess since keeping classified materials in a private residence happens to be a violation of the Presidential Records Act, which was passed after the first ‘gate’ scandal, i.e., the Watergate.
I love how the Mar-a-Lago-gate script being used by OS and everyone else makes a point of saying that everyone is ‘fully cooperating’ with the investigation which sent the FBI team into Mar-a-Lago last night. What are they going to say? That they’re not cooperating?
Remember when the news hit back in 2008 that a New York investment guy named Bernie Madoff was charged with stealing billions from more than 4,000 customers who had invested money in his firm. His attorney also immediately said that his client was ‘fully cooperating’ with the authorities, as if this made any difference to the people who lost all their dough.
So now Trump is ‘fully cooperating,’ although he has issued a statement on his unwatched Truth Social that mentioned both Hillary’s emails…
