These Days

Trump had nothing to do with January 6, either. So the informant was a security camera? I'm sure the distinction is an important one; or at least sounds important. But it’s also the problem of reporting on this topic. Most of it is, frankly, sloppy.
Donald Trump continues to employ a spaghetti legal defense as he figuratively throws things against the wall to see if anything will stick, after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago earlier this week.
Trump has yet to offer a legal defense, or anything like it. His latest is just like his first:
"The 'White House' just announced that it had no knowledge of the early morning raid on Mar-a-Lago, or the break in of Melania’s closets, my safe’s, or the secured and locked storage area where unclassified documents were safely held, and which the FBI knew of, was shown, and made recommendations that another lock be added (which they cracked, but not with the safecracker that they brought with them!)," Trump posted to Truth Social, even though the White House said on Monday they learned of the search warrant from Twitter. 
"Does anybody really believe that the White House didn’t know about this? Witch hunt!" Trump claimed, as he did during both of his impeachment trials.
Even Steve Bannon wouldn’t try that one in court. Does it matter one way or the other? Does it have anything to do with Trump refusing to turn over the records? As George Conway said:
They don't want anybody to think, they want everybody to fight," Conway continued. "They want everybody to be angry and that's part of why they do that, is partly because the money comes in when they do that."
Which is pretty much all the internet is used for: generating outrage. Yeah; Trump’s “defenses” work like that.
