I was hoping we'd hear from you today once I heard that DOJ had filed an appeal. #TraitorTrump 🤡 is having a bad day. He's really pissed off about the ads the Lincoln Project has been running on his old favorite network #FauxNews & has threatened (gasp!) to sue! 😲😲🤣🤣🤣 And now this! Judge Cannon isn't making sure he gets "his property" back. For the benefit of #DonaldDunce DOJ has repeated several times that records marked "classified" ARE. NOT. HIS. PROPERTY!! Also, I love that DOJ warned Judge Cannon on page 1, paragraph 1, that if she doesn't do the right thing, they're going over her head to the 11th circuit for redress. We are definitely in "Fuck Around and Find Out" territory & I'm loving it. I'm sick to death of messing around with this joker. We've now had six years of misery thanks to him. Enough is enough. Speaking of going H-A-M, I sincerely hope that's what DOJ & every AG with jurisdiction is going to do. Hit this stupid SOB with every charge you can make stick. Like you Filey, I really want to see a perp walk with #TraitorTrump's hands cuffed behind him. I also want to see Tish James dismantle his company, but that's probably too much to hope for.

That's my rant for tonight. Yes, that rainbow was your former boss helping you. Glad you scared the shit out of the client who thought tangling with you was a good idea. Finally, I sincerely hope the Scotch & lamb were excellent. You deserve it. Enjoy your time off. 😉

I read the complete transcript and was as delighted as you to see how the DOJ “respectfully” put Judge Cannon on the hot seat for her ruling. It was a great read and as usual your review was as usual spot on! Thanks again for your insight and enjoy your dinner…eat-up and don’t forget dessert.😉

This appeal is what I like to call (when working with my patients who have done something that is harmful, bonkers or embarrassing and they want/wish to get out of, but can't/won't unless they have a way to save face) "Creating a Permission Structure." An "Exit Ramp" if you will, that allows someone who has done something SO detrimental that even THEY know they need to not do it, but they feel like they are "In for a penny in for a pound" so to speak, and that they have no options to stop the moving freight train they are on now for many complicated reasons (they could be face saving, work or familial pressures, they don't fathom alternatives, etc). "Creating a Permission Structure" gives the person the 'narrowest' of openings to sprint through, if that is what they REALLY wanted in the first place, and in more cases than not, it is. I'm not saying that is what she will do here, but it is a smart move for them to make their next move tempered and one such as this, where she can feel like 'she chose the exit ramp,' if she does, vs raining down hell and fury (which of course can be the next step), but if there is a working synapse in there and she wants to take the least of all bad options she has created, she will take this one. This will not go away for her, she has to know that. No matter what her rulings, she chose to thrust herself into it, she alllowed herself to be used, but she can start to mitigate the fallout, and she is looking at a long road ahead of her (unfortunately).

I would reject the appeal outright. What the government is saying is the Special Master is fine to look at 11K plus documents and other goodies we took - but don't look that which is "MARKED" classified - without any knowledge of whether or not those documents are in fact still classified. As we're dealing with a former President here, one who had the power to declassify ANYTHING, everything including that which is MARKED classified could be declassified. And we won't know that unless a third party arbiter looks at them.

To prove my point (in other words, how I know they're bullshitting), the government goes into detail of the "missing files" of the empty folders. They need to continue their investigation to look for something that ISN'T THERE! Oh, come on!

Judge Cannon is smarter than this - she's been three steps ahead of them from the get-go. She gave a stern warning in court about the leaks and one day later they leaked to the Washington Post about the nuclear documents Trump had that not even the highest officials of Biden administration can lay eyes on. So they literally spit in her face.

And now they want to her to separate document from the Special Master?

If the government gets away with this - those documents - the one marked classified - could be anything they want them to be! They'll be the ones no gets to see and are leaked to the press.

The Special Master gets see EVERYTHING - if the nuclear documents are there, we'll all know about them. Transparency! That's Democracy and not the Semi- Fascist kind!
