WSJ reports that the FBI removed 11 sets of classified documents.

"The list includes references to one set of documents marked as “Various classified/TS/SCI documents,” an abbreviation that refers to top-secret/sensitive compartmented information. It also says agents collected four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents, and three sets of confidential documents."

Unfortunately you can’t respond but I’m curious how the timing makes this seem political. I’m sure Fox News could figure out a reason to do so at any time but I don’t see why now is any different.

I don’t see how this raid could be anything but legit. It was signed off by the Trump-appointed head of the FBI and, like most cops, agents are overwhelmingly Republican. Trump already turned over 15 boxes of documents. It’s not hard to believe he hid a few. Whether he kept them as mementos, to cover his ass, or trade secrets is anyone’s guess but there’s little doubt he had them.

Lol, the ways in which Republicans are trying to spin this are both hilarious and pathetic.

Amazing. I guess that warrant was worse than they expected.

I didn’t comment on your post at all.

Just know that you are more liberal than you otherwise would be because you read and post here.

Of course an FBI raid on a non-descript Monday evening in August over 2 years before a federal election - which was done with zero knowledge of the public until trump told everyone - was entirely political based on this very precise timing.

I think it is pretty much useless to get any credible answer from Yoho on these questions. I don't think there is a point in engaging at this point.

Perhaps he can do what "justaguy" did and make his own thread to fill his MAGA bait.

To be fairrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... isn't Trump allowed to give the warrant to anyone he wants without a judicial ruling, it was/is the Justice department bound to confidentiality?

Someone with legal knowledge should chime in, but yes I also assume that as well - i.e. he can share if he wants toor why everyone was telling him to post it last night after his statement.

Just pretty obvious where the leaks are coming from is all.

Yes according to this video (time stamp 13:00) Trump can release his copy of the warrant. The only thing he won't have is the affidavit from the FBI that lists the probable cause for the warrant. His copy of the warrant would just list the properties being searched and what is expected to be found.

No real China thread I found and given West Taiwan and it’s military gets discussed here a lot - posting here

PEOPLE WIN WARS: A 2022 REALITY CHECK ON PLA ENLISTED FORCE AND RELATED MATTERS

Quote:
Conclusion

The changes to how the PLA manages its enlisted force lead to two noticeable benefits. In the short term, personnel readiness levels, especially in conscript-heavy units like PLA Army combined arms brigades and most marine and airborne units, noticeably improved because of the reforms to the conscription cycle. One potential problem is that this new cycle leaves potential troughs in personnel readiness in late spring, which also happens to be the optimal time of year to conduct amphibious operations in the Taiwan Strait, and late fall. This, however, can be solved by a circumstance-driven extension of service, as has been done in the past at the end of the once-a-year conscription cycle. Furthermore, if the PLA’s efforts to improve its NCO corps management system bear fruit, improvements to the proficiency of its enlisted force will slowly emerge over time.

But such changes also bring short and long-term uncertainties. The revisions to the conscription cycle potentially overloads local military recruitment offices and open the door for more corruption. Potential NCO force-management policies may not pan out, leading to stagnation within the NCO corps. Lastly, long-term economic and social prospects in China could drive the overall quality of new PLA personnel downward by prompting a further loosening standards for induction.

In the next five years leading to the centennial anniversary of the founding of the PLA, the development of military personnel remains a critical benchmark affecting Xi’s key military decisions. Two days before Aug. 1, Xi called on the PLA to “overcome outstanding contradictions and problems restricting the military’s personnel work and for innovation in talent cultivation, including deepening the military academy reform, and innovating military human resource management.” Much remains to be accomplished.

Whether stated explicitly or implicitly, Xi and the senior Chinese military leadership agree that fixing the PLA’s people problems is at the core of increasing the force’s combat readiness and becoming a world-class military. Due in part to social factors beyond their control, the timeline to solve the personnel management challenge is decades or a generation in the future, not years. However, the PLA may not have decades or a generation. There is always the chance that the Chinese Communist Party, possibly reacting to external actors’ behaviors or political messaging, feels the need to use force to reverse perceived threats to national sovereignty or security interests before the PLA fully resolves its personnel management issues. In this case, the PLA will have little choice but to fight with the force it has.
