I came here to post that a little while ago and got interrupted by stupid work!

Not to mention some of the people involved in this think offline machines were being hacked, wanted routers seized, and thought Italian satellites were involved. These aren't the most tech savvy people so I question their ability to even cover their tracks.

They should unlock Lindells phone the way Geraldo unsealed Capones bunker. on national TV. The rating would be bonkers.

LOL, with hopefully a better result

Judge Cannon denies the DOJ's appeal to use the classified documents in continuing investigation saying "these matters still need to be decided" and selected one of the special masters Ttump asked for. Appeals going forward.

This isn't even really judicial activism. This is someone trying to get the short list for the next GOP Supreme Court vacancy.

She knows it's a bad ruling. She knows it's going to get overturned, but she also let the entire GOP know she's got their back.

This is all they were trying to do with the election litigation. They just needed one judge to rule for them to delay any counts so they could run the time out on certification. They couldn't find a willing judge, so Trump appointed judges around the country that aren't qualified for the position, but are willing to ignore the law for him. This was a delaying action, and the first of many.

The judges order says that Trump's counsel will review the documents and categorize what they claim is privileged or not, and then the social master will rule on it. This judge is allowing people with no security clearance to look at high classified documents.

Based on her previous ruling it doesn't seem like she understands how classification of documents works or that regardless of anything else they're property of the US government.

And although she's an obvious Trump plant I don't think that part of it is because she's biased. I just don't think she's remotely qualified to do the job she's doing and this is a complex ruling that's far beyond her comprehension.

I guess every district court judge now has the final say on what is and isn't classified. That should work out.

Oh my god

Every defense attorney can now decide what constitutes "evidence" that can be used against their client.

I think she knows precisely what she's doing.

This is one of my favorites from this account.

Whether it's liberal elites shipping their kids off to summer music programs in Michigan, or Republican governors shipping migrants off to summer vacation islands in Massachusetts, neither side respects the wishes of powerless people.

This will absolutely only be an exception for certain people.

I don't. These people have largely been incompetent and not very intelligent. Otherwise they'd have had far more success trying to overthrow the government.

I think she just knows she wants to rule against anything the DOJ submits because it puts her on the fast track for the Supreme Court whenever the GOP fills another vacancy.

The football coach went all the way to the supreme court with his “they fired me for praying“ claim is making way more money on the conservative grievance lecture circuit then he was as a coach, and has taken no moves to get his job back even though the district has offered him his job back.

The market for consumption of “Well, actually, it is white male Christians who are being oppressed” content is way larger than the ability of reality to supply it.

It was pretty easy to see through the entire ordeal as nothing more than a scam. It's incredibly easy to get evangelical dollars by creating some sort of wrong or fake persecution.

this is one of the most bizarre things I've seen at a Trump rally. All it is missing is passing around Kool-Aid right after. pic.twitter.com/BmPOztb7kA

He also posted a pic of himself on Truth Social wearing a Q lapel pin and the Q slogan "the storm is coming"

and then this from the rally last night

Good old Youngstown

Yeah, he lied to the courts and the courts played along.

The bizarre dance between MAGAs who keep insisting that they are fascists and Nazis and the mainstream media who insists that they are not would be funny if it weren't so serious. Like a Month Python skit where John Cleese is in full Nazi regalia screaming that he loves Hitler and Eric Idle keeps telling him that he's not really a Nazi.

MAGA: "Jews Will Not Replace Us!"

MSM: Economic anxiety?

MAGA: "Here. An actual Nazi salute. We are doing the Seig Heil at a rally. We are Nazis. We love Nazis. That's who we are. We believe in the genetic superiority of the White Race. And so does Trump. That's why we love him. Because we are Nazis. We are not hiding this. We are proud of it. Please, please believe us. We are literally not sure what else we can do to prove that we are Nazi loving Nazis who love Nazis."

MSM: Anti-Biden voters motivated by fear of inflation will be heading to the polls in a couple of months.

I imagine the explanation from MAGA for how those two pictures differ would sound something like Vanilla Ice explaining how the bass line to Ice Ice Baby is completely different from Under Pressure.

This is so interesting. So the Special Master gave both parties a schedule, saying he would want everything prepared by October 7th. Trump's people immediately said "hold the phone. We want nothing done before the November 30th deadline". Further, the Master said he wants to see Trump's legal support for how he can claim the files were declassified. Basically Trump's people don't want to give any specifics since that would be able to be used against them in further proceedings, but ot doesn't seem Judge Dearie is going to put up with their crap.

He was a weird choice by team own goal. He has a strong reputation as a no-nonsense straight shooter that doesn't put up with BS. He also has a reputation as a good non-partisan jurist. Not sure exactly who they thought they were recommending here, but he's definitely not a Trump loyalist or blindly partisan choice like Huck would have been.

Maybe they legitimately thought they owned Cannon so much that she would pick Huck. It is about the only thing she didn't give them.

Apparently Judge D was on the FISA court, and some have speculated that Team Trump thought he would share their anti-FBI bias because he saw so many secret warrant applications. This might be another case of people being so deep in the right wing bubble that they actually believe their own propaganda. They may actually think that the FBI is actually a bunch of woke liberals, and they figured they could pick a judge that has seen the FBI in action and would agree with them.

My question is whether Judge Cannon can just take the process back over if she gets a signal from team Trump that they don’t like the special master. I don’t see why she could not. And, sadly, I don’t see why she would not.

Speshal Master betrays us! Asks cruel questions, sets ruleses! Nasty liddle’ riddles! Riddles & ruleses! What scrolls, it asks, by nights dids we unmasks? Unsecrets, unfurls? But precious, Speshal Master is our friennnd! We doesn’t remembers doing unsecrets! Dids we- NO! SHUTUP!!

I'm of course not entirely in the loop re: US media but shouldn't democratic process being abolished be frontpage news everywhere, every day? I mean, it's almost certain there will be such people elected and they will attempt this.

It will 100% be a clusterfuck this November as there were ZERO consequences coming out of the 2020 election. What reason is there for the GQP to stop now.

Amazing thing is that Trumpers convinced themselves that Judge Dearie wld be anti-deep state because of Carter page and now they’re figuring out that he’s your average federal judge who doesn’t think the FBI is run by antifa. And they’re sad.

So it wasn't at a Hardees period? Or it just wasn't at that particular Hardees?

All beautiful

SI

It sounds like he just made the whole thing up.

Sounds like the special master play backfired spectacularly on trump. Can we please put him in prison now. Time to stepmom his throat.

They were shocked that the judge set a deadline of next week for them to explain themselves and their response was basically, we shouldn't have to respond to anything until Nov 30 because that's what the other nice judge said we might be able to do.

Looks like the judge in the Alex Jones bankruptcy is going to put a conservator over his business, citing lack of candor and transparency from Jones and obvious attempts to hide the financials.

The Trump attorneys claiming need to know on classified documents because Trump is their client was a a jaw dropping moment for me. There's no sound argument for these attorneys to ever see those classified documents.

It's also very telling that they refuse to and are unable to produce any proof the documents were declassified. The fact that they referenced a potential defense in case of indictment tells me they're really going with the "magic wand" claim as their defense. Rather than present any documented proof (because it doesn't exist) they want to make the case that the President doesn't need to do anything but think documents are declassified and they are.

In all in all, Dearie handed them their ass today and they got a wake up call on how this is going to go once they're not in front of a Trump loyalist that was hand picked for the case because she indicated to their team ahead of time how she'd rule.

About time

And it keeps getting better for Trump NY AG James announces after rejecting a settlement offer from Trump, she will have a major announcement about her next step tomorrow at 10:30 am EST.


Edit: Got too excited about the announcement-no idea if its going to be about Trump or not

It's 100% going to be Trump related. No way they announce the press conference unless it is.

I am seeing on Twitter speculation she is gonna go after one of the kids.

I'm guessing Erik since he was the one signing off on all the shit for Trump Org.

That seems to be the consensus.

Let the Hunter Biden rhetoric ratchet up!

Trump tries to keep Ivanka away from the illegal shit because she's the favorite and he doesn't think Don Jr is smart enough to handle anything serious and/or important.

So Erik is left as the middle child to be the fall guy.

AG James files civil lawsuit against just about everybody named Trump, Weisselberg, Trump Org, etc.

She says that she has evidence that Trump and Trump Org violated Federal Law and is referring it to Southern District of New York and the IRS
