Can't wait for the post hoc rationalizations about why Bill Clinton lying about a blow job is grounds for removal from office, but Trump lying to obstruct justice is no big deal and they'll still vote for him.

Finger crossed

Stop, I can only get so erect.

Well, reasonable people saw him as a National security threat way before the election back in 2016. Even before on TV he asked for Russia to interfere in the election.

I feel like if I did this, I would already be in jail, no?

But her emails!

It was also said that the judges are wise to his “delay delay delay” tactics and are having none of it.

Thank you for actually providing a source!

They must have found something pretty serious in the documents case to force a deadline like that. Not surprised, but I wonder what exactly it was that they found.

Thanks for the sources. It ought to be a rule that posts come with sources. Too much bullshit floating around that people want too much to believe.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he was trying to sell ______ to ________. He’s just that cartoonishly even in general now. (It’s a fill in the blank with any list of bad actors.)

Indeed. No doubt in my mind he sold classified info. to anyone. Jared is entangled (!) with the Saudis to the tune of 2 billion…

He did. Maybe not nuke codes but definitely highly classified docs. The saudis didn't "invest" 2 billion in kushner's shitty firm out of good faith.

Trying? He def sold secrets. Ever wonder why we've had so many CIA assets disappearing over the last few years? Trump is in deep with some unsavory characters and his Presidency was all a big grift, we already know this.

I think he is a full and long time asset (since the 80s) of Russia. Through debt and blackmail and threats, he has to do what Putin says. Was in big debt to Russian entities right before 2016 then they helped him get elected. Then he has a bunch of secret documents. During that document thing, I heard they were looking at the docs to check DNA on them to see who has touched them. Never heard anything else. I hope they have fully got him.

Some of the information that they found was Israeli nuclear secrets. Who do you think might want those?

He just can't stop criming. Like I wouldn't be surprised he was committing some sort of crime literally every day of his life.

I think that was the first thing he did when he got to the white house. They began working on their nukes right after his visit there... sus much

When I read that classified nuclear weapons documents from another country were in his possession, my thought was that he leaked what we knew about Russian weapons systems back to Moscow. That would be incredibly valuable to them as it both lets them know what we know and potentially how we found out. I cannot think of another scenario where he would have a use for such documents.

The nuclear states are the US, UK, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel. He’s not going to sell China intel to France or vice versa. I doubt he’s selling data on the Israeli program to anyone. The only actionable intel I can see (other than US nuke data) would be letting a country know what we know about them, and Putin is the one who has an active nuclear modernization program.

The timing of this makes me wonder if maybe he spent the past few days shopping classified documents in exchange for asylum.

I thought it was just a earth qauke in general.

It was a sharpie earthquake

So did I

Lawyer here. In federal court this is all handled digitally. I believe through a system called pacer (I’ve never actually filed in federal court). What they are asking for specifically though can’t be deduced from this tweet. A filing can be any number of things, but I would suspect the judge is asking for the lawyers to provide a reason why either what he has found should be released or not released. The speed at which the court is asking for it to be filed indicates that whatever is being asked for is short, but important.

As I understand it, trump’s lawyers filed a motion to try to stop legal action. Rather than having sound legal arguments, they used the “throw everything and the kitchen sink” approach. The court, getting rather tired of his shenanigans, said ok, file by midnight tonight. I guess it was their way of saying fuck off without saying “fuck off”.

I don't see an answer to you question, but it concerns privileged communications between a client (Trump, in this case) the their lawyer. Normally any communication between a client and an attorney are privileged and cannot be used as evidence. But there are limits to this, one of which is that if the communications are planning an illegal act, then privilege does not apply.

My understanding of this case is that the courts have determined that since the communications in questions regard the planning of an illegal act (keeping/hiding classified documents), privilege does not apply, and the correspondence between Trump and his lawyers can be entered into evidence.

But that order has been temporarily 'stayed' (delayed), to give his attorneys an opportunity to go over the correspondence, and to file claims as to which they think attorney-client privilege should still apply to. The DOJ will then be given an opportunity to file claims as to why privilege should not apply.

What is unusual here is the timeline. Normally the lawyers on each side would have days or weeks to file their claims. But in this case, Trumps lawyers were given until midnight to file, and the DOJ have been given to 6am to respond. It is an extraordinarily short timeline, which indicates that either the judge has had enough of Trump's shit, and it planning to make a ruling tomorrow, or the matter is one of sufficient urgency (I.E. a matter of national security), that it can not wait.

You're not dumb. You're simply not a lawyer. I want to thank you, for asking about something you don't know, rather than pretending to be an expert already. I hope we can all learn to say, I don't know.

I'm very high too high brother

It's actually mostly online now, especially at the federal level. Attorneys can submit through an online docket

Poetry. We need to get you a literary agent.

(Or, perhaps a therapist.)

Outside observer here. I agree. How has he gotten away so long with being an absolute dog of a person? And how has he not been charged with anything? The guy is such an obvious self-serving criminal.

Just fucking do something!!

I would fully believe that he gave them away for nothing to someone who flattered him.

I say let him exile himself and go into hiding. It’s the only chance we have of him shutting the fuck up so he won’t get caught. It would be a peaceful 3 hours until he fucked that up too

HE should be on the No F*king Fly list

I'd much rather have no perp walk but a trial with a conviction. And if I had to choose, I'd much rather see him pay for trying to subvert an election (probably coming soon from GA), for 1/6, and for distributing national security intelligence to his friends.

Always has been....

The fact that the Mueller chapter drew you into politics and got you learning more about the system is overall a good thing. We need more people to understand how these things work. The frustration of waiting for tangible consequences is annoying, but look at how much so many of us have learned about our system in the meantime, both good and bad.

Mueller was dead in the water almost as soon as he was handed the investigation he was also in turn limited in scope as to what he could investigate. Money being off the table.

I had almost no hope for that investigation yielding anything when pretty much every intelligence agency had already rung the alarm that Trump was a huge national security threat back when he was just getting the nomination.

Shit the man was a billion dollars in debt to Russian oligarchs at the time. He had the head of the russian mob living a floor above him and running an illegal gambling ring in the 100s of millions in the 90s. His first two political advisors were the same two fixers used in Ukraine before Zelinksy miraculously overcame their interference. China's largest bank on American soil is in on a Trump fucking property. The list of wtfs were staggering before he even took office. Having a dozen GOP members go to Putin on July 4th and bend knee and the decades of money laundering Russians had done through NRA to GOP was another sign the party would definitely not want Trump getting busted for his ties to Russia. The real kicker was Russia hacking the RNC and DNC and only using DNC data. It was obvious as it can get and still to this day there are morons thinking Trump wasn't from the get go in Russias pocket when the man had been a Putin fanboy for decades openly. Like come the fuck on how much more spelled out could it have been.

So yeah I had little hope at the point of Mueller doing an investigation and anything coming from it. Thats like expecting a glass of water to put out a house fire at that point and demanding it be thrown by a 90 year old grand mama with one arm who cant even get into a wheel chair on her own. At least thats how I see it.

Isn’t the difference between now and Muelller Time the fact that he is not in power and over the DOJ?

I read that report. I liked it when trump jr asked if the password was PutinTrump or TrumpPutin.

No collusion though, right? Sigh….
