Going Nuclear?

The FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago uncovered . . . classified information on nuclear weapons?

This was information that could have gotten into, oh, I don't know, Russian hands?

Gee, and I thought they were investigating his role in the insurrection!

Trump bitched that all the feds had to do was ask for the material.  The feds did ask, as far back as June - they even negotiated with his lawyers to get at it without having to search for it under a warrant.  And now it looks like the government might indict Trump for mishandling an possibly compromising secret documents that Trump says he declassified before they were planted!  (I don't get Trump's logic either.)

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell has insisted that media attempts to frame what's happening with Trump as beneficial for him and his brand are bunk, but the Republican Party is standing behind Trump and all indications are this might increase Republican voter turnout not just in 2024 but in November midterms.  Remember when abortion was to get Democratic women to come out to the polls in droves?  Legal abortion is not a person any more than a human egg fertilized ten minutes ago is.  Despite suggestions to the contrary, Donald Trump is a person, and he's a person with a base of supporters with greater loyalty to him than I have for Martin O'Malley.  They are that scary.

And to respond to the inevitable insistence that Trump can't win with his base alone in 2024, Trump won the Presidency in 2016 by getting once apolitical reactionaries to join and expand the Republican Party and he's been successful in doing that ever since.

Any person who thinks Donald Trump can't benefit politically from this investigation is either a moron or an MSNBC host.
