YouTube "Legal Eagle" Devin J. Stone, Esq. explains about search warrants like the one which allowed the F.B.I. to look into Donald Trump's underwear drawer at Mar-A-Lago. The news on this story is advancing so rapidly that Mr. Stone had to append several updates to this video between the time he first recorded it and the time he posted it…and it may be outta-date in about three hours because of the deadline Trump has to formally agree with or block the release of the search warrant.
Note how many things about this case Stone places in the "we don't know" category and then note how little that mattered to so many people in the public eye who didn't let that stop them from forming firm, extreme opinions.
I guess I understand it. Those who think Trump is lying, criminal scum have been on the edge of their chairs, waiting for Merrick Garland to take some bold, decisive action. Those who think Trump walks on water (or find it politically advantageous to act like he does) have been bracing themselves for Merrick Garland taking some bold, decisive action. Everyone in both camps thought, "This is it!" and leaped immediately into attack or defense mode. But I think it remains to be seen if this is what either side thought it was.
Here's The Eagle scurrying to keep up with the story. This guy's pretty handy to have around…
