Dennis Hastert was the Speaker of the House for 8 years from 1999 to 2007. That is 3rd in the line of succession to the presidency. I would call that "high ranking." Hastert served over a year in prison for structuring currency transactions in order to conceal hush money payments to molestation victims. He wasn't untouchable.Trump should be held to the same standard as all other high ranking politcians, which means he is basically untouchable.
Yall made the rules, we're just playing by them.
He definitely exposed peoples penchant to donate their money to a billionaire to build a wa…oh wait. No, he used that money to stop the stea…well damn, I’m not sure what he used that money for!
Yawn. First, Trump wasn’t there so of course he didn’t receive the warrant. Second, he’s had the warrant this whole time and could have released it at any time. Thirdly, Garland literally just had a press conference about the raid. Nice article otherwise though!An Authoritarian Regime, If You Can Keep It
The past week and a half have shaken conservatives regarding individual rights, privacy, governmental intervention, and weaponization of federal authority. The United States has already been subjected to some of the most authoritarian policies in history. The Biden administration and his federal bureaucracy mandated COVID-19 policies that removed rights and closed businesses across the country. They kept people from enlisting in the military, worked with corporations to punish the working class, and demanded all comply or get shown the door socially and financially. Now, just months before the November midterms, this fascist regime has taken two new turns for the worst.
The first flex of authoritarian power was through the highly criticized Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 within the U.S. Senate. With all Democrats voting for the piece of legislation while all Republicans opposed, the bill will pass Friday morning. The legislation will approve more than $433 billion in government spending on issues such as IRS audit intervention and climate change. The Senate Democrats will concentrate on the fact that they should see a $300-billion-dollar tax revenue from the changes, such as tax credits to families that use clean energy, but are avoiding how the bill fully militarizes the IRS.
The second step was the FBI raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago. The former president stated that his house was raided by 30-plus FBI agents who did not show him the search warrant issued. Even more egregiously, the search warrant got signed by a local magistrate judge who previously recused himself due to his own biases in prior cases involving the 45th president. It has been days since the raid took place, and the American public still has not heard a peep from the Attorney General, the FBI, or anyone from the Department of Justice on what the reasoning was for the raid.

Trump could have just complied with the subpoena and returned the requested documents. I mean, that was an option, in lieu of being raided.An Authoritarian Regime, If You Can Keep It

The difference between you and I is that I don’t bootlick politicians. I have no problem locking up any corrupt politicians regardless of affiliation. You on the other hand think that anybody who thinks Trump should be punished must surely support Hillary, or Hunter not being punished, thus they are hypocrites. This projection shows that you’d be perfectly fine locking up Hillary and Hunter but don’t think Trump did anything wrong.Lol. Reality is always a deflection for weak minded dims.
