If he had declassified any of the documents, he would have them on a list. He wouldn’t need to see them. He would know What they were. |
I am pretty skeptical of the 200,000 pages that Trusty is putting out there. The inventory has 27 boxes on it by my count. You're not going to fit 200,000 pages in 27 boxes. Not even close. In any case, the vendors were willing to meet the timeframe for DOJ, which demonstrates this is not a technical or manpower issue. |
Too late anyway. Chances that FBI hasn't interviewed Kash and every other Trump flunky about this alleged declassification is approaching zero. They'll get them all on the record now about what he declassified before they reveal what he stole. |
Cannon is such a hack. It doesn't matter much anyway since the 11th Circuit bench slapped her. Now that she is extending this, DOJ should probably go to the circuit with a motion to stay the rest of it pending the outcome of the appeal. The panel essentially said Cannon has no jurisdiction over any of this, so they would probably win that stay. |
So…. Cannon engaged in more skullduggery. I knew she would. |
Chances seem fairly high that Dearie resigns. She's more or less said that he cannot do the job he was hired to do, and she's going to ignore his recommendations anyway. I also think DOJ either moves to expedite the appeal or moves to stay all of Cannon's order. They now know their panel, know the panel is very likely to rule for them on jurisdiction, and it's clear that Cannon is going to protect Trump from having to make any factual admissions as part of this. They might have thought they could get through this quickly and be done with it, but it's also clear she's going to let Trump keep delaying. Hard to see any benefit for DOJ continuing to play Calvinball |
Would they get the same panel or a different one? |
Same. The prior decision was technically part of the same appeal; it was just a motion for a partial stay pending the appeal. |
How can she get away with this? |
Her actions are astonishing, as they are so transparently politically motivated.
Can she be impeached? She is surely not behaving like a Federal judge!! |
That tweet is so true. Her behavior makes sense if you assume she is trying to protect Trump from legal consequences. |
What would Dearie even be reviewing for at this point? The classification issue has been taken off his hands. None of it would be executive privilege without input from Trump's team. He'd have no idea what should be privileged or not beyond what the filter team has already done. |
