So it appears that Trump is going back on Hannity's show again tonight.  What crimes will he confess to this time?

So it appears that Trump is going back on Hannity's show again tonight.  What crimes will he confess to this time?

Trump shared his ax fetish on Hannity.

“That’s where Letitia James, she should focus on murder and crime in New York where they walk into stores with axes and they start swinging the axes at people,” Trump said. “That’s where she ought to be focused, not on how much is Mar-a-Lago worth.”

I appreciate that George Galloway is listed as Russian state affiliated media. He just doesn’t get the Respect he used to get.

I think Dearie was ultimately a bad gamble by Trump’s idiot attorneys. I don’t even think that Michael Cohen was this dumb.

I think he can also ask the full 11th to look at it but doubtful they'll go for it either.

11th Circ. rules actually preclude reconsideration of an emergency stay, & so there was talk earlier this week of DoJ, if still skittish post-Cannon, filing this initial appeal en-banc instead of in front of this random panel, but thankfully the panel came through, so SCOTUS is indeed Trump's only route for an appeal now.

I'd be surprised if SCOTUS even wants to hear it. They've got their jobs for life, and they're where they are so that they can issue edicts like Dobbs, not blow their credibility on personal favors to Trump.

Ironically the only two justices on it who seem to give a sh!t about Trump personally are two he didn't appoint (Thomas and Alito.)

Because he farmed out judicial appointments to Mitch and the Federalist Society. He didn't understand or care about appointing henchmen personally loyal to him to the judiciary. Like the mob boss he thinks of himself as, he just assumed there would be a debt of loyalty.

How many banker's boxes does it take to fit 200,000 pages into? Did Trump leave any documents behind at all? Why would the DOJ say 11,000 when it was really 200,000? So many questions, so few answers.

It's 11,000 documents that contain an estimate (per Trump's filing) of about 200,000 pages.  A banker's box holds about 4 or 5 reams of paper (2,000-2,500 pages) so it would take about 80-100 boxes.

Trump - via his sacrifical lawyers - is pretending that every single newspaper clipping, and/or every single page of printout is a separate document in an effort to delay proceeding and give corrupt judge Cannon an excuse to help him. Once Dearie ordered him to delcare which documents he claimed were his, he knew the jig was up and that Dearie wouldn't cover for him the way Cannon has.

Trump is guilty as sin, so his only play is to try to run out the clock.

Thanks for the clarification and knowledge of the capacity of banker's boxes.

One would think that whomever the judge designates to review the documents would be the one to ascertain and inform the judge on how realistic the time table is, rather than Trump's lawyers. Or is the idea that both the special master designee and the Trump lawyers look at everything? I am unclear on that point as well.

I would think an understanding on the number of days it would take depends on what the documents are. Documents clearly personal to Trump like his porn collection don't need much time to examine, documents that are the government's property that may be subject to executive privilege if not waived by Biden not involving a non executive third party should also  not take that long to put in the executive privilege maybe pile to be litigated (not sure why the DOJ should not have access to executive privilege documents but whatever), and then the attorney client privilege documents have already been separated, so unless an attorney's name pops up, that should not take that long either.

Give the job to me, and I will beat the deadline, I promise.

It doesn't matter much anyway since they're not getting back the documents that are at the heart of DOJ's case, and they've been given to go ahead to proceed with using them.

Lmao, do you want DoJ to expedite its appeal of your entire order, Aileen? Because pulling this kinda sh*t is basically challenging them to do that:

What a crock of sh!t.

Trump is going to just keep getting away with everything isn’t he?

No, this is a fairly minor sideshow at most.

I'm as disgusted by anyone as Cannon's outrageous rulings here, but does this really matter? Sure, she's letting trump's team go through everything before they decide if/what they are going to lie and say was planted by the FBI. But do we really think the FBI is stupid, that they didn't see this coming? I'd bet a rather large amount of money that they recorded themselves doing the search so that they could prove everything they took away was already there when they began. This is going to delay, and it will likely lead to another stinging rebuke of Cannon by the 11th Circuit.

[Earthling]

By now, an impeachment of Cannon seems to be justified.

By now, an impeachment of Cannon seems to be justified.

There aren't enough votes in the Senate to remove her. Republicans have chosen their orange God and will do whatever he says until the end of time.

I know. That is just the sad truth. The fact that a terrorist organisation like the Republican Party has so much power in a country like the US is scary.

No question Hurricane IAN for now has taken Espionage and Corruption that was benefiting Ds off the radar that's why you see improvement in R POLLS

But, these Hurricanes come very frequently and the Gulf Coast isn't Hawaii much of the land is below sea level unlike Hawaii but it's more expensive to live in Hawaii than FLORIDA

Hurricane hit Hawaii all the time we never hear this type of destruction

Trump’s legal team divided over how to handle Mar-a-Lago case

New lawyer’s advice to seek an ‘off-ramp’ with Justice Department is not being heeded, people familiar with discussions say

After attorney Christopher Kise accepted $3 million to represent Donald Trump in the FBI’s investigation of government documents stored at Mar-a-Lago, the veteran litigator argued that Trump should adopt a new strategy.

Turn down the temperature with the Department of Justice, Kise — a former Florida solicitor general — counseled his famously combative client, people familiar with the deliberations said.

...

But quiet has never been Trump’s style — nor has harmony within his orbit.

Instead, just a few weeks after Kise was brought aboard, he finds himself in a battle, trying to convince Trump to go along with his legal strategy and fighting with some other advisers who have counseled a more aggressive posture. The dispute has raged for at least a week, Trump advisers say, with the former president listening as various lawyers make their best arguments.
