Drano 🌻🌻🌻

Circling the Drain:  On Tuesday, Maggie Haberman, the Former Guy whisperer from the NY Times tweeted two pictures of various FG toilet bowl clogged with torn up notes, including one scrap with third in Republican leadership Elise Stefanik’s name written boldly in his trademark Sharpie scrawl.  Those loo tweets confirmed one of Maggie’s earlier scoops, that during his presidency the FG used toilets to “disappear” notes and other documents that he didn’t want saved for posterity. Putting aside the weirdness of someone in his entourage photographing his clogged latrines, the bigly story is that not everything the FG wanted destroyed made it to the sewers beneath his various residences and other accommodations. We know that for sure because while Maggie was tweeting her privy pics, the FBI was at Mar a Lago scouring the premises for those items and documents, including some highly confidential top secret ones, that he hadn’t managed to flush. The agents who coordinated their activities with the Secret Service contingent in residence were armed with a judicially approved warrant, and it’s more than fair to assume that their “visit” had Attorney General Merrick Garland and the FG appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray’s seal of approval.  That said, immediately after the FG tweeted out that the FBI had “raided” his precious Mar a Lago, his fans, including quite a few high placed politicians such as GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and even the former VP who he tried to eliminate, took to the Twitter-verse and the air waves to condemn the search as an atrocious and unprecedented invasion of his personal privacy, proof that no one was safe under the Biden led “communist” regime because, obviously, if the FG is into stealing and hiding government documents, even ones that could jeopardize national security should they fall into the hands of and/or be sold to the likes of Vlad and his cronies, it’s not like anyone should object, especially any of those people who threw tantrums over Hillary Clinton’s emails. McCarthy also threatened to set up a committee to investigate and possibly even impeach Merrick Garland assuming the Republicans win the House and the likes of Margie Q and “guns, guns, guns” Boebert called for the FBI to be defunded.  Worth noting, we only learned of the FBI search because the FG who was in NY preparing for his sit down with NY Attorney General Tish James told us about it, the FBI still has said nothing.  The FG, of course hasn’t seen fit to also share the warrant which would show the legal justification of the search because why would he want to do that?  The FBI and the DOJ will probably have to say something soon, because the FG has whipped his fans into a frenzy and their calls for civil war and the taking up of arms, and a lot of them are armed with things like AR 15s, are getting out of hand.  And because we are firmly in bizarro world, two Andrews, Yang and Cuomo have now weighed in, criticizing the FBI and DOJ and the FG is fundraising off the “raid” that wasn’t a raid and threatening to announce his 2024 run for the presidency imminently. By the way, President Biden has had a really good few weeks but sadly, his notable accomplishments including the passage of the veteran burn pit legislation, the imminent passage of the health and climate act, the almost unanimous approval of Finland and Sweden joining NATO and the elimination of al-Qaida leader Ayman al Zawahiri are now being pushed to the side, muted by all things FG and those right wing threats and diatribes. 

Legally Yours:  In other legal news, because with the FG and his crowd there is always more legal news, yesterday Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Scott Perry, who was knee deep in the coup attempt and who introduced Environmental lawyer/Attorney General wannabee Jeffrey Clark to the FG, revealed that a team of FBI agents presumably not the same set who searched Mar a Lago, “seized” his cell phone.  Also, the DC Court of Appeals ruled that the IRS should turn the FG’s tax returns over to the House Ways and Means Committee.  Of course the FG is expected to appeal that ruling and his stalling tactics could work because if the next Congress is ruled by Kevin Q, the Ways and Means request will immediately swirl the drain. On the primary front, more FG endorsed candidates/election deniers won Republican nominations yesterday making the upcoming mid-terms that much more critical for those quaint souls who believe that elections should be determined by voters rather than partisan Governors and secretaries of states. Notably one of those deniers, Pennsylvania Gubernatorial candidate/January 6^th insurrectionist Doug Mastriano finally showed up to testify virtually in front of the House January 6 panel but never answered any questions because his lawyer protested the legality of the process and cut off his appearance at the start.  In Michigan, Matthew DePerno, the FG backed Republican nominee for Attorney General was named by police investigators as a participant in a scheme to gain unauthorized access to voting equipment as part of one of those wacko efforts to prove 2020 election fraud that wasn’t.  The current Michigan Attorney General Democrat Dana Nessel who is running for reelection is now seeking the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate DePerno because as he’s now her opponent for the office she’s conflicted.
