At least four justices would say a former president is entitled to special treatment. |
| Special Master has called for a Tuesday hearing. He is moving it along, which seems good. (if you like actual justice) |
Most of us love this but I bet Donnie -boy is getting nervous that, maybe, they chose the wrong person. Those little windmills of hisonf are twirling away to find a reason to discredit him. "He's a democrat in RINO clothing. No way I can get a fair trial." When he's indicated, I predict he will eaf temporary insanity. |
Problem is that he’s not really in control. Trump lawyers will drag it out, dispute everything, and then take every adverse ruling to Cannon. |
Really there is little for him to do. If he says these documents are classified it blows up trump and judge cannon’s defense. |
He lacks the most basic information to make an assessment regarding classification. Is the expectation that there will be an evidentiary presentation snd mini-trial as to each document and photograph, with witnesses from the intelligence community explaining the basis for classification? And what evidence could TFC possible adduce in rebuttal? The only alternative would be to decide whether Trump had the power of transubstantiation when it came to classified documents. TFG will offer the testimony of Kash Patel to the effect that he waved his hands in the air and repeated “declassified” three times while hopping on his left foot. It’s absurd. |

DOJ's Motion for a Partial Stay from the 11th Circuit https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22418138/9-16-22-doj-motion-stay-11th-circuit-mal.pdf
The Motion asks that the 100 classified documents be excluded from the Special Master review so the Government can continuing using them both for the intelligence and the criminal investigation. It's pretty straightforward, and DOJ stresses over and over again how important these documents are to national security. I did like this little dig at the end - sounds like Mr. Corcoran might need a lawyer

| This has been said before, but I feel it needs to be restated. Trumo made a deal with the devil. How can one person get all these breaks? Time and time again our spirits are crushed by this criminal. |
I don’t understand how they’ll be able to introduce the testimony of Patel without Trump testifying. Doesn’t that break one of the hearsay rules? Patel can testify to the truth of the matter, but the truth needs to be introduced first. If there aren’t paper records, that leaves Trump. He’d have to admit he had them, which seems like a risky legal move. |
Nope. Men did this. People did this. He has been enabled by morally bankrupt grifters. Too many to count. |
| Trump's ace attorney is a registered agent for the Venezuelan dictator. Is this who the GOP wants to have access to US classified information? |
