No love for either McConnell or his wife, but this is so sad. No minority is safe. I'm sure MAGAs are perfectly ready to demonize Elaine Chao just because of her Chinese heritage. Perpetuating hate against all Asians here.

She had a reaction. He didn't need to speak for her.

Look for signs that Bobb and Corcoran get called to testify about obstruction. Alina Habba is also a potential witness. Grand jury secrecy will limit information to that being released by folks aligned with TFG.
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

I am no Trump supporter and I think it’s stupid that the court is even entertaining this process, but I was surprised that Dearie ordered Trump’s team to provide all of its objections to the accuracy of the inventory without having seen the documents themselves. If an entry says something like “357 government documents/photos without classification markings” but provides no further description even of where they were found within Trump’s office, how are they supposed to determine whether those are all documents they believe were taken from his office, or what, if anything, might be missing from the inventory list? At some point Trump will need to take a position on these issues if he’s going to file a 41(g) motion for return of his property, but this does not seem like the appropriate point to require him to do so.
Sounds like you are saying Trump did not take careful notation of what he had. They had boxes stuffed with government documents as well as his own things and no one on his staff had inventoried them? Yikes. Not good records keeping.
Do you keep a written inventory of every news clipping (or comparable piece of paper) in your house to know whether you had 88 or 89. The verification process is not just about the classified documents. I mean, that’s what actually important here and likely why Trump started this process, but Rule 41(g) isn’t about classified documents, it’s about return of property, and the court needs to treat it that way regardless of Trump’s ulterior motives.
Absolutely not! And when I left my job as POTUS, I had the National Archives do all that!
