Looks corrupt as heck to me. 

 

For stuff like this I like to consult right wing/libertarian legals... Volokh Conspiracy is a good one.   These are the type of Federalist Society folks who come up with at least some sound reasoning and logic most of the time.

 

And yup, even they won't defend this with a 20 foot pole.

He followed it up with this:

I don’t know if Trump will be re-elected in 2024. But, if he wins, I think I know who his first nominee to the 11th Circuit will be.

 

 

Better discussion here regarding the relief Trump was granted.

 

Quote

[D]oes the former president have a property right in the classified documents taken from the White House and stored in Mar-a-Lago?
...
But there are very good reasons to think former presidents have no such a property right in perpetuity in private life, and at any rate there is sufficient doubt that that is a reason not to grant equitable relief.

Quote

If former President Trump commingled his personal effects with classified documents belonging to the United States, then that is not a reason to allow him to restrict use of the government's property. Instead, that is a reason to deny him any relief to protect his own property.

Dont.

The only time I will ever feel bad for Mike Lindell is if he gets raped in prison and ends up having to bite one of his own pillows.

 

 

Psyche!

No I won't.

**** that ****ing crackhead.

Phony Document Lands on Court Docket in Trump Search Case

 

When a government document mysteriously appeared earlier this week in the highest profile case in the federal court system, it had the hallmarks of another explosive storyline in the Justice Department’s investigation into classified records stored at former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate.

 

The document purported to be from the U.S. Treasury Department, claimed that the agency had seized sensitive documents related to last month’s search at Mar-a-Lago and included a warrant ordering CNN to preserve “leaked tax records.”

 

The document remained late Thursday on the court docket, but it is a clear fabrication. A review of dozens of court records and interviews by The Associated Press suggest the document originated with a serial forger behind bars at a federal prison complex in North Carolina.

 

The incident also suggests that the court clerk was easily tricked into believing it was real, landing the document on the public docket in the Mar-a-Lago search warrant case. It also highlights the vulnerability of the U.S. court system and raises questions about the court’s vetting of documents that purport to be official records.

Glad the court found it before it actually went before a judge. There must be a way to thoroughly inspect/search this guy's mail and visitors.

I owe a lot to Mike Lindell. During a particularly terrible time in my life, I was suffering from severe insomnia. I ordered a MyPillow and, as promised, it helped me to have the best night’s sleep of my life right after I used it to smother my wife, the cheating slut. Guys, if you’re anything like me and your wife is being porno banged by the Godfather of your children, you gotta go to MyPillow.com right now.

Surprised we haven't seen a DOJ appeal yet.  Meanwhile...

 

Fast start: New special master in Trump documents case orders Tuesday hearing

 

The newly appointed special master reviewing the records seized by the Justice Department last month from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, wasted no time Friday evening by quickly scheduling a hearing between Mr. Trump’s legal team and lawyers from the Justice Department.

 

U.S. District Court Judge Raymond J. Dearie, who was appointed Thursday night by a Florida federal judge, ordered both sides to appear in a Brooklyn federal courthouse at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.

 

Judge Dearie also requested the lawyers submit proposed agenda items for the meeting by the close of business Monday.

Justice Dept. Appeals Part of Review of Materials Seized at Mar-a-Lago

 

The Justice Department on Friday asked an appeals court to block part of a federal judge’s decision to appoint an outside arbiter to review sensitive documents seized last month from former President Donald J. Trump’s residence in Florida, a ruling that has frozen the government’s access to the material.

 

In a 29-page filing, lawyers with the department did not ask the appeals court to stop the installation of the arbiter, called a special master, even though they called the lower court’s decision “unprecedented” and misguided. Instead, they asked the appeals court to let the F.B.I. immediately regain unfettered access to about 100 classified documents and not to submit those through the independent arbiter’s vetting process.

 

“Although the government believes the district court fundamentally erred in appointing a special master and granting injunctive relief, the government seeks to stay only the portions of the order causing the most serious and immediate harm to the government and the public,” wrote lawyers with the department’s national security division, describing their request as narrowly tailored.

Instead of a pardon, he should get an indictment. 

 

If they're waiting until after the election, he's not the president who gets a pass while he's in office. Hopefully he looses so it's a moot point.

I sat down to have lunch with my son today, and he's proposed to his high school sweetheart. We talked for awhile about the wedding and plans for the future. I'm very proud of him and how he's doing the right things in his life as well as his plans for the future....

 

Then I thought, God save him if these ****tards retake the White House. Honestly,  it scares the ****ing hell out of me for him, his sisters, and their generation. 

 

HTTR!

Way back when, when I was having A, I thought about the future and wondered if I was doing the right thing. When A told the that she didn't want children I was relieved because the world was going to pieces. Then she told me she was pregnant. I fear for the future if Republicans aren't stopped.

From what you've told me, A & O have good knowledge. 

I have no fear that your daughter is just like you, and your granddaughter is just as bright. 

 

Aside: wasn't this week's Y&R just mind-blowing?!?

Michigan man gets 5 years in prison for role in Capitol riot

 

A Michigan man was sentenced on Friday to five years in federal prison for his role in the U.S. Capitol attack by a mob that disrupted Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.

 

Chief Judge Beryl Howell also sentenced Anthony Robert Williams, 47, of Southgate, Michigan, to three years of supervised release after his prison term and ordered him to pay $2,000 in restitution and a $5,000 fine, according to a U.S. Justice Department news release.

 

In June, a jury convicted Williams of a felony count of obstructing the Jan. 6, 2021, joint session of Congress for certifying the Electoral College vote. Jurors also convicted him of four related misdemeanor offenses.

 

Prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of five years and four months for Williams, who was arrested in Detroit in March 2021.

 

In a Facebook post three days after the riot, Williams called himself an “Operation Swamp Storm veteran” and referred to Jan. 6 as the “proudest day of my life.” He added that it “felt like the founding fathers were smiling down on us in that room, and I guarantee my dad and gramps, both vets, would be proud.”

Trump team told National Archives that Mar-a-Lago boxes only contained news clippings

 

A former top official in the Trump White House counsel's office told the National Archives last fall that, according to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, there were only 12 boxes of records at Mar-a-Lago and they were just filled with newspaper clippings, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

 

The Archives was following up on information from the White House Office of Records Management that there were about two dozen boxes in the residence, according to the source.

There was a back and forth in September 2021 between the Archives' chief counsel, Gary Stern, and former White House deputy counsel Pat Philbin, who was also a designee for the Archives regarding the Trump records, according to the source. The source said that the engagement was part of the ongoing process of getting the boxes back.

 

Stern asked Philbin about the records. Philbin asked Meadows and relayed to the Archives that Meadows said there were only 12 boxes, that they were just filled with newspaper clippings and that Meadows had assured him that no documents had been destroyed.

Stern then reiterated to Philbin that the Archives had information that there were more than 12 boxes, that it had a list of missing documents, and to please keep looking.

Stern made clear that "we need you to keep looking," said the source familiar with the conversation, adding that the Archives "believed there were about 24 boxes."

Stern memorialized his conversation with Philbin in an internal email. That email provides the Justice Department with real-time contemporaneous notes of what Trump's team was telling the Archives.

Philbin also relayed to the Archives that Meadows had said they were not aware of any other boxes.

That above interaction shows that the archives have a great ability to know if documents are indeed missing, and if there are still a sizeable amount of docs missing today, they would have a good idea of both how many and what they are.

 

It also reinforces the absolute stupidity of the bonkers idea that you can lie to them and they will never know.
