I believe our criminal justice system was not structured to efficiently combat this combined level of criminality, sociopathy, partisan propaganda, and cultism.
Justice Dept. Issues 40 Subpoenas in Jan. 6 Inquiry
"Over the last week, it also seized the phones of two top Trump advisers" -- Boris Epshteyn and Mike Roman -- "a sign of an escalating investigation two months before the midterm elections."

I mean this sincerely: There is absolutely no scenario where Trump's diehard base abandons him.
"It doesn't matter if he have delivered nuclear secrets to the Saudis on a platter next to a cheeseburger... Trump did nothing wrong."
My favorite part - after days of screaming "Unseal the search warrant!" now they want to say that making a motion to unseal the search warrant win response to GOP's ranting constitutes an impeachable offense.
Yeah Trump appears to be actively ignoring legal advice, likely for the same reasons he ignored it leading up to Jan 6.
He thinks there is still a way out of this, and I guarantee you it involves stochastic terrorism against the people trying to hold him accountable.

Some of these categories of SAP/NDI code level information are super close hold with highly restricted distribution & even one off eyes only. May explain why NARA grew increasingly alarmed as they attempted to account for missing docs.

Donald Trump is not a tyrant in waiting. He is here. Believe his threats. Authoritarians and other demagogues tell you what they are going to do and then do it. Trump is announcing that he will criminalize dissent and any opposition to his 2nd regime.

Breitbart and Matt Boyle getting fed the warrant, then being unable to describe what’s actually in it because it would make Trump look bad, is incredibly funny. https://t.co/N6KqldWbSd
When John Bolton says on Newsmax that we are safer under Biden then we would have been under Trump, the host loses his mind and they have an epic battle. I know people hate Bolton, but this is fantastic - he debunks every fake narrative they created about his foreign policy.
