The GOP will paint itself in a corner if it depicts Trump as a persecuted victim when he's guilty of high crimes. Particularly after what was revealed in the hearings.
It's not Merrick's job to explain but rather to gather information to investigate further.
Atlanta police say there's an active shooter, midtown. 3 people have been shot. No one in custody. Atlanta PD wants people to stay indoors, esp Peachtree from 12th-15th St.
Is now a good time to remind everyone that over 130 Republicans voted AGAINST the Active Shooter Alert Act?

Important truth: In truth: The FL judge who issued the search said that the โinvestigation was related to violations of theย Espionage Act. (nytimes.com/2022/08/12/us/trโฆ ). While a President can declassify documents, restrictions in where and how they are used still apply. (4-2/5)
Trump repeats claims that the documents were planted.
Tactic: Deny and put the blame elsewhere. Obfuscate. He cycles his lies.
In truth: The evidence strictly shows that the documents were not planted. (5/50
Instead, Trump claimed Biden would not unseal the warrant because the entire raid was bogus and politically motivated.
In truth: Biden did not know about the search in advance, and Trump could have unsealed the warrant at any time to read the contents. (2-1/5)
After the search, without being able to provide evidence, Trump claimed Biden played a role and collaborated along with other democrats to set up a hoax.
Tactic: Trump focused attention on the search warrant that would normally remain sealed. (3/5)
