Trump is no longer president of the United States. He\u2019s a normal citizen. He may believe he\u2019s still president because he never conceded the 2020 election, but he lost that election. As a result, he is subject to the same search-and-seizure provisions, under court supervision, as is anyone else. Trump may be correct that no former president has ever before been subject to an FBI search, but, then again, nothing like Trump has ever before happened to the United States. No former president has ever attempted a coup to remain in office.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/robertreich.substack.com\/p\/todays-assault-on-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click through for article.<\/a> Yes, two-day-old news, but Robert&#8217;s take on it will be timeless.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crooksandliars.com\/2022\/08\/giuliani-says-he-cant-fly-testify-so\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crooks &amp; Liars &#8211; Giuliani Says He Can&#8217;t Fly To Testify, So Prosecutors Offer Him A Bus Ticket<\/a><br \/>\nQuote &#8211; Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten offered to buy Rudy a bus or train ticket so that Trump&#8217;s former personal attorney could show up to testify before a Georgia special grand jury investigating 2020 election interference.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/crooksandliars.com\/2022\/08\/giuliani-says-he-cant-fly-testify-so\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click through for details<\/a>.
