    The title of article is a quote from Trump, not exactly a credible source. This also from the same article:
    "That (the FBI) then went forward with a search warrant shows the level of concern they had that anything less than a search would not result in the complete retrieval of all remaining classified records," said Bradley Moss, a Washington-based lawyer who works on national security cases. Trump was given far more leeway than most Americans, experts told us, and could have avoided the search with full cooperation. "There's no legal requirement for the FBI to proceed via subpoena or to ask nicely. It's well within their rights to go to a judge and get a search warrant," said Neama Rahmani, a former prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers in California, who described Trump as "partially cooperative at best" with the government.

    "Trump and his associates have not been cooperative," said Michael Gerhardt, a law professor at the University of North Carolina, who said the argument made by Trump and Crenshaw "makes no legal sense" because items the government was seeking were ultimately found in Trump’s possession.

    So you have no interest in knowing the facts? Yes, with a judge following the law or unlimited time, he would have been convicted based on the evidence. Any rational person being honest with themselves acknowledges that.

    No, it's not. But I'll accept your lack of response as a concession. Trump shouldn't have to face the same legal system other folks do. Because only normal people are compelled to deal with the politics of our prosecutorial and carceral policy. Because he, like certain other powerful and wealthy people, is treated as above the law. You support that. I don't.

    I think we’ve seen enough Trump investigations. And I’ve had enough of Democrats trying to obstruct a public official from doing his job through lawfare. Time to let the man do what he was elected to do.

    No, I don’t consider allegations from the boy who cried wolf to be credible.

    You forgot to add MSNBC to that list. We all know that is one of your major news sources.

    Let's be clear about you disparaging ANY news sources: you support candidates who are in open collaboration with news sources that have had to pay settlements, up to appx $800 million, for knowingly spreading defamatory lies.

    So the only news sources you should EVER disparage are the one you read. If those actually even exist.

    As far as ability to turn a phrase this one is as good as Agnew’s Nattering nabobs of negativism.
