“WE DEMAND (insert unreasonable demand here)!”
The GOP has a good system that allows them to always play the victim. They make demands that are impossible to fulfill and when rebuffed, they claim that shadowy forces are at work, and the unmet demand is an example of the gross injustice constantly inflicted on conservatives by the “deep state”.
They tripped up recently and demanded the release of the Mara Largo search warrant. When that was granted and they were deprived of the victimization talking point. They quickly adjusted the demand to be unfulfillable.
The Justice Department said in court documents Monday that it opposes the release of the FBI affidavit used to justify the search warrant on former President Donald Trump’s primary residence at Mar-a-Lago.
In Monday’s filing, prosecutors indicated that the affidavit contained sensitive information regarding the testimony of witnesses in the investigation, adding later they feared that releasing the requested documents would “chill” the future testimony of other potential witnesses.
While the Justice Department did not oppose the release of the search warrant last week, the department argued Monday in a court filing to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida that the affidavit should remain sealed “to protect the integrity of an ongoing law enforcement investigation that implicates national security.”
