You need a program to keep up with all the lame excuses the former guy has tossed out to justify his possessing more than a dozen boxes of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home/golf club/resort.
First it was “homework,” that he was just taking the documents with him to continue working on them. Well, first, he has never been one to do “homework” in his entire life and second, when you are no longer president, you no longer are responsible for handling affairs of state.
Then, he proclaimed that Obama took 30 million classified docs with him when he left office. Not so. The documents were taken by the National Archives and Records Administration to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they remain in exclusive possession of NARA.
As a third “alternate fact,” he claims he gave the order to “declassify” all such documents on his way out the door in January 2021. Again, not so, according to those who FORMERLY WORKED FOR HIM. There’s a process that must be followed and that process is very detailed and meticulous.
Finally, he claims that everything was packed in a hurry and he didn’t have time to go over everything that was thrown into cardboard boxes.
That is probably closer to the truth. After all, he had already determined he wasn’t going quietly or willingly, so why pack to leave?
But now, we have the most novel explanation of all and it’s only because it’s so ludicrous, so off the rails, so bizarre, that I give it any exposure here at all. After all, if you can get past the fact that some disturbed individual is actually passing it off as truth (and that some pitifully disillusioned souls are buying it), then it’s kind of funny. Sort of.
It’s the explanation given by the mysterious “Q” of QAnon infamy and (spoiler alert) it’s a doozy.
You see, thanks to Q, we now can rest assured in the knowledge that the FBI “raid” of Mar-a-Lago (and it wasn’t a raid; no guns were drawn, no doors busted down and the Secret Service was alerted beforehand – it was more of a “normal tourist visit”) was a ploy hatched by none other than…(wait for it)…Donald Trump.
Yep, that’s what [s]he says. But don’t take my word for it, here is the actual transcript, as posted by a retired history teacher from Denham Springs, who apparently buys what Q is selling:
Q: Trust Wray. Who leads the FBI?
(He’s talking about Christopher Wray, Trump’s appointee to head up the FBI.)
Q: How do you get evidence entered legally?
Answer, according to Q: A raid by the FBI gets it (evidence) on the record.
Q: Who has all the information?
Answer: DJT, the former guy.
So, there you have it. Trump conspired with Wray to “arrange” for Attorney General Merrick Garland to seek approval of a search warrant, which a judge signed, so that the FBI could take into its possession all that damning information that Trump has been holding for more than 18 months now that will absolve him of everything bad and cast a pall over Joe Biden’s administration.
And now that the FBI and the Justice Department have it, it’s officially “on the record” and will now become public knowledge.
God, the man’s a genius. We played right into his hands.
This is the same Q, by the way, who assured us that Trump would be restored to his rightful position of president on July 23 of this year. I think he has since pushed the date back to sometime in October.
Can’t wait to see what happens.
But of course, Q knew this all along.
On a related note, it seems I’m being recruited for consideration for possible membership in an outfit called the Cajun Guard (not to be confused with the Cajun Navy).
I did a STORY about the Cajun Guard, a local militia-type organization more than two years ago, in June 2020. In writing that story, I reached out to the organization to request more information about them in an effort to give them a chance to present their objectives.
The web site of one of the individuals I profiled in that story has since been taken down.
I finally got a response last Tuesday (Aug. 16), more than two years later, from a guy who identified himself only as “Kevin.” Kevin said he was “responsible for recruitment, among other things.”.
But rather than provide me with any information about the organization, I was invited for “lunch or coffee” to discuss the organization’s “vetting…select individuals/families to join our family,” adding that the Cajun Guard wishes “to expand the members and efforts to the entire state.”
Thanks, Kevin, but I think I’ll pass.
…that line about the “normal tourist visit” raid… now I’ve got to clean up after laughing so hard I spilled my drink, lol.
agree with k. not kevin! Keeping the base happy requires a lack of intelligence (crazies) to believe in Q. Our repugs congressional members are experts in counterintelligence and they will take credit for everything we dems accomplish. Look at Graves and Letlow, bragging on their website, and then voting against the bills on passage. The q’s are easily confused. thanks and go top gun ron thompson
QAnon is the best argument I have ever heard for making voting a privilege that you have to earn.
