Rep. Andy Biggs on Newsmax: This Is 'an Authoritarian' Govt
Like the Biden administration plans to massively expand the IRS, the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's private residence at Mar-a-Lago is a concerted effort to "weaponize" against Americans "they disagree with politically," according to Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Newsmax.
"We don't really have insight yet; the FBI, DOJ haven't come out publicly and said what they're looking for, but I can tell you this: This gets at the heart of what I was saying over the weekend that FBI and DOJ needs to be looked at very carefully because they have weaponized those agencies, those police agencies, against Americans who they disagree with politically and it wouldn't surprise me if we get down to that again, Rob," Biggs told Monday's "Rob Schmitt Tonight."
Biggs is a House member who will be voting against the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" that seeks to add IRS agents in an apparent effort to find more taxes to collect for the government's massive spending agenda.
"Again, that's going to be weaponized and politicized, just like it was under Lois Lerner where they went after conservative organizations," Biggs warned. "They're going to be coming after you and me and others like us. They're going to be turning us upside down to shake every dime and nickel and penny out of our pockets and punishes us if they can, if they feel we haven't given them enough.
"That's where we're headed. That's an authoritarian type of government, Rob."
You mean investigating the person that wanted to set up an authoritarian government (and still wants to)?
Dick Morris to Newsmax: Raid Merely an Effort to 'Damage' Trump
The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago is not intended to send former President Donald Trump to jail as much as just damage him to keep him from running for president again, according to presidential adviser Dick Morris on Newsmax.
"We have to realize that this is, that there's no real way Donald Trump is going to go to jail," Morris told Monday's "Rob Schmitt Tonight." "The appellate courts, even if they find the district judge under a rock who will rule that way, the appellate courts would never agree to that.
"But what they are trying to do is to make Trump so damaged, such damaged goods, that Democrats and Republicans look for primary alternatives – and all of a sudden they see virtue in Mike pence or Ron DeSantis. Not that they're fomenting it. Those people are being used, but they're being used to try to generate a primary fight against Trump, because the Democrats feel that's the only way they can win."
Morris, a former adviser for Democrat President Bill Clinton and Trump, told host Rob Schmitt that Monday's raid is evidence Democrats will go to political lengths Republicans would never resort to.
"I feel blessed with the ability to comment on this particularly insightful way because I'm probably the only person in American politics who was set so close to a Democratic and a Republican president while they were in office, or during the crucial days before their election campaigns," Morris said. "And I've got to tell you: Democrats do this, and Republicans don't."
Morris hailed Trump as a "ruthless S.O.B.," but one that plays within the rules.
"Donald Trump plays between the foul lines, on the playing field," Morris continued. "He never goes outside of it. He never engages in this kind of underhanded tactic. Even when he controlled the FBI and controlled the CIA, sort of, he doesn't do that. The Democrats do.
"I've worked side by side with Trump; he's a ruthless S.O.B., but on the playing field within the foul lines, not in extraneous stuff."
Despite the effort to "damage" Trump's impending 2024 plan, Morris said it only enhances the urgency to make sure Trump gets reelected.
"This is why it's particularly urgent, for the point I'm make in my book, 'The Return' – for us to elect Donald Trump president again: Our entire country depends upon it; our system of government depends upon it," Morris said.
"Every banana republic in the world – and I've worked all over the world – arrests their former presidents. They go to jail and they get tried, and inevitably, they get found guilty, and they usually get condemned to house arrest.
"And if we start doing that in the United States, we are sunk."
Morris warns the Democrats are operating with "no restraint" in their pursuit of keeping Trump out of office.
"That's why we have got to get Donald Trump back in there – for God sakes this is not about policy, or about inflation or about gas prices," he added. "It's about the future of the United States of America as a democracy."
Notably, Trump has spoken about future presidential plans to drain the swamp by making sure unelected officials in an administration serve at the pleasure of the president, and are not held over from administration to administration whether they support the sitting president's agenda or not.
"These guys stay there for 40 years, and they say, 'the presidents come and go every four years and who gives a damn what they say; I'll do what I want to do; I'm the environmental expert; I'm the interior department expert. I'm the defense expert, and I could care less what some president tells me to do,'" Morris said. "And what Trump wants to do is to repeal the civil service protections and make them serve at the pleasure of the people through their elected president.
"It's amazing the change that is. He gave the speech last week that proposed this. Fox News never covered it, but it is the most revolutionary proposal by candidate for president, I think in recent history."
Sigh...
Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax: FBI 'Raid Is Supposed to Be a Last Resort'
After FBI agents raided former President Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, legal expert Alan Dershowitz questioned on Newsmax the justification of a "last-resort" action by the Justice Department.
"A raid is supposed to be a last resort, but this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against its political enemies," Dershowitz told Monday's "Rob Schmitt Tonight." "It's arrested people, denied them bail, put them in handcuffs – used all kinds of techniques that are not usually applied to American citizens, and I just hope this raid has a justification.
"If it doesn't have a justification, the material seized in it will be suppressed."
The FBI and the Justice Department should not have conducted the raid on Mar-a-Lago without exhausting all other remedies, Dershowitz told host Rob Schmitt.
"I suspect it has to do with some investigations leading toward Donald Trump and some of his associates, but again, the law is clear: You don't engage in a raid unless you've exhausted all the other remedies – unless you believe that the person rated will destroy the evidence.

Nice of you to volunteer to be next …..
McCarthy’s comments came hours after former President Trump confirmed in a lengthy statementthat the FBI had raided his Mar-a-Lago residence, where he said agents “broke” into a safe.
A host of Republicans erupted after news of the raid, accusing the FBI of unfairly targeting the former president for political purposes. Trump himself lashed out at law enforcement, calling the raid “political persecution.”
The execution of a search warrant on a former president’s home is unprecedented and comes as the Justice Department continues to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and actions Trump took to attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss.
The National Archives also has reportedly asked the Justice Department to investigate after authorities recovered boxes of materials from Trump’s Florida home, which included materials he took from the White House that were considered classified. The New York Times reported that those materials appeared to be at the center of the FBI’s search.

That is one thing I do not understand about my fellow Americans.
We punish public figures for sexual irrelevancies.
I would rather the tape never come to light. It has the power to distract from the stuff that matters, like how close he took us to a Stalinist coup.
Why a blowjob or water sports (assuming the service providers did not come from the sparrow academy) rates with voodoo economics and conspiracy to commit high treason … mystifies me.
The other problem is hypocrisy. Another news item about a Republican state legislator caught with child porn.
The GOP is in bed with the megapastors. They are remarkably silent about the sex crime epidemic among Republicans. This places the soundness of their rather aggressive antisex “morality” under harsh illumination.

Well, there you have it. You questioned why and then answered your question. I don't care if there have been fifty caught with child porn. The fifty first is as bad as the first. Regarding the pee pee tapes. meh, as long as everybody were consenting adults, I don't care. Showing the tapes penetrates his aura of invincibility, so it's a propaganda victory. I guess that's important too but I agree with you, it simply distracts from the real crimes he did commit. On the other hand, they have been waging war against our culture, attacking members of minority communities. So I can see why its necessary to expose them for what they are.
But honestly, I don't get the hype here.

I’m not sure I did a good job then. The sex thing and the hypocrisy thing are different, and in different weight classes.
I don’t know why journalists aren’t hammering this. Or why I am not seeing them hammer it. I am unaware of a TV documentary that lists and details the contributions of every public figure involved in the assault on the core values of the republic.

Federal appeals court says House committee can get Trump's tax returns
A federal appeals court in Washington ruled Tuesday that the House Ways and Means Committee can obtain several years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns, a victory for House Democrats in their yearslong battle to obtain the records.
The unanimous three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sided with the House Democrats, who initially sought five years of federal income tax returns from Trump and several of his business entities in 2019 while he was president.
Citing a renewed request for the tax information in 2021 from Rep. Richard Neal, chairman of the Ways and Means panel, after the change in presidential administrations, Senior Circuit Judge David Sentelle wrote in a 33-page ruling that the request "was made in furtherance of a subject upon which legislation could be had," and rejected claims from the former president that Democrats' request for his tax information was unconstitutional.
"While it is possible that Congress may attempt to threaten the sitting president with an invasive request after leaving office, every president takes office knowing that he will be subject to the same laws as all other citizens upon leaving office," Sentelle wrote. "This is a feature of our democratic republic, not a bug."
The Ways and Means Committee celebrated the decision and said on Twitter that it expects to receive the requested returns and audit files "immediately."
"With great patience, we followed the judicial process, and yet again, our position has been affirmed by the courts," Neal said in a statement. "I'm pleased that this long-anticipated opinion makes clear the law is on our side. When we receive the returns, we will begin our oversight of the IRS's mandatory presidential audit program."
Trump's legal team, however, will likely appeal the ruling either to the full D.C. Circuit or the Supreme Court.
