the way that guy s mind works. in fact, i was having a conversation with michael cohen the other things that he would not run for president, he knows he cannot win. and then after all of this happened, people rally around donald trump. they believe him when he says he is persecuted. they believe the wichita thing, a dude went to an fbi office in cincinnati and tried to shoot an fbi officer because of stuff donald trump said. this is a classic cult leader who his people never take out information that is contrary to the myth that he has woven about himself. so when he is under investigation, all of these forum which are outlying, they see him as persecuted. if he has taken, documents while he didn t take a. if we detect them, there were his. and if they were in his then he didn t know. if he didn t know, maybe they were planted. and so it just goes to this serial set of lies, has followers just go right after him. following him as he goes. and of, course he has a ferry

fbi at mar-a-lago and revealed on friday included 11 sets of classified documents, five sets were top secret, three sets were secret and three were confidential. and there are still so many unanswered questions. what kind of legal jeopardy does the former president face, could he be in violation of the espionage act, what do we make of claims by mr. trump that he had already declassified the documents, will the calls for violence from the far right inspire more people like the man who attacked an fbi office in cincinnati and was eventually killed by authorities and how will an already divided country survive this latest stress test between mr. trump and the law? faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the justice department and of our democracy. upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor.
