The written decision is so bad. She might as well have saved her time and just written, "I am a partisan hack, therefore Trump wins all the things." |

Order here (24 pages) https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.64.0.pdf She split the baby and stopped the Govt from using the seized material for CRIMINAL investigative purposes, but is still allowing them to use it for national security assessment purposes. I'd expect DOJ to appeal since this is a bad precedent. |
Bull$hit. Putting aside that her confirmation had bipartisan support, there are these tidbits.... The filter team has not been effective (here is my *shocked* face): And, what does the FBI need with his medical documents? And, contrary to what you may have heard, they asked for a special master early on..... Seems to me the DOJ is trying to hide something. |

Seems like TFG is having some memory problems:
Is it real or fake, to pretend he's mentally unfit for trial? Who knows? https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-weirdo-mark-zuckerberg-white-house-last-week-rally-pennsylvania-2022-9 "At a Pennsylvania rally supporting senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, the first since the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago residence, Trump briefly fixated on the chief executive of Facebook's parent company. "Last week, the weirdo — he's a weirdo — Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, kissed my ass all night," Trump said during the speech, going on to mimic their alleged conversation: "'Sir, I'd love to have dinner, sir. I'd love to have dinner. I'd love to bring my lovely wife.' All right, Mark, come on in. 'Sir, you're number one on Facebook. I'd like to congratulate you.' Thank you very much, Mark. I appreciate it."" |
I believe this is immediately appealable to the 11th Circuit as a matter of right, so I expect will be the next step from DOJ, along with seeking a stay of Cannon's order. |
Former DOJ trial lawyer here and I think DOJ would be foolish to appeal for two reasons. One, Trump did this primarily for delay and an appeal would delay things further and, secondly, the Eleventh Circuit is likely to come down in Trump’s favor. |
There are locking filing cabinets designed to meet GSA standards for storing sensitive compartmentalized information. Trump no longer had one. |
| So what happens now? |
Am I missing some context where this makes sense, or is Trump really this delusional and disconnected from reality? |
If they were relatively recent medical records mixed in with classified documents Trump should not have had, that would be evidence of knowledge that Trump had those classified documents. |
Given the nature of the situation, the Eleventh Circuit (and then SCOUTS) would probably take this up pretty quickly. And if they're inclined to side with Trump, they won't order a stay of Cannon's order in the meantime (since a stay of the injunction would mean DOJ could continue to review the documents in the meantime). So if they appeal, the special master proceeding probably moves forward in tandem with the appeal, thus resulting in no delay if DOJ loses on appeal. |

The judge's misguided order will be stayed by teh 11th circuit and that will be the end of it.
What a horrible partisan hack. She should be impeached for lying on her application questionaire that she would recuse herself from any Trump related cases. |
Whenever he relates conversations addressing him as "Sir," you know they are either partly or entirely made up in his own head. |
Which is exactly why DOJ would be foolish to appeal this. A SCOTUS decision in favor of Trump would be horrible. |
