I get it that we are all tired of Trump’s lawlessness. I want to see that SOB’s handcuffed perp walk. I’ll explain why I’m not worried about the Sept 5th Order appointing a Special Master.
I’ve been waiting all weekend for this! LOL! And yes, once again I clicked on the video and started laughing my arse off at the screaming GOAT!!! 😂 Anyway, you had prepared us for this…For Trump to be appointed a special counsel so I’m okay w/it, especially given it may actually help Garland in the long run! And I do trust Garland…never doubted him for one minute! Will be sipping my tea and working at my desk until we meet again! 😘 Thanks Spicy~
I strangely wasn't overly upset at the ruling, mainly because as much as I want TFG to have his "die in prison" moment, he is still due adequate representation. I do think he sees this as a win and doesn't see how it can come back and slice him to pieces, but, eh.
Thanks again. As much as I dislike it, you confirmed m;y suspicion that allowing a Special Master does provide the govt some CYA down the road. But I'll never stop being pissed off about the whole thing as someone who has worked for a govt contractor and dealt not with govt property but also classified material, we would never be afforded the leniency he has received.
Thank you Filey! The doom and gloom twitter is the worst twitter. Ironically, it keeps some of the Blue Anon accounts in business. What better way to keep people invested in your clickbait than pretending there’s a fire around every corner?
My favorite Blue Anon nonsense is how Trump is going to flee to another country where he can’t be extradited. For anyone checking out Ron Filipowski’s photos, the portly Trump looks like a patient in an assisted living center. He’s addicted to attention & he loves his rallies and the crowds/cult that keep him in business. His ego is too large to make a calculated move to another country. His ego is so large, every time he opens his mouth, he incriminates himself. Yet the call of his adoring fans keep him wanting center stage. As you have said many a time, he’s a vexatious litigant. He’s also not smart enough to keep his cards close to the best and his social media account is like a treasure trove of evidence. Another Blue Anon mantra about his passports being taken so he doesn’t flee, is another false line argued. I’m assuming identity of a target is key when collecting evidence & tying them to a crime. If multiple people live in a dwelling or an office has some obscure shell corporation leading it, wouldn’t any identifying documents be collected to verify residents or occupants? I don’t know but I do know of a search warrant for someone in finance where the house was raided and licenses and passports were collected to verify ownership of the house. So maybe this idea of an overweight, dementia patient with narcissistic personality disorder, is planning on fleeing. Not to mention the secret service guys that would have to play along.
So I’m going to be patient and wait for this to unfold. Aside from stealing top secret documents, he has a possible indictment in Georgia. The only question I have is something Joyce Vance said after Andrew Weissman weighed in- There’s No US attorney involved & they said that’s unusual…
I absolutely agree with the astute observations in your second paragraph. Generally speaking yes personal information can and is often swept up during an execution of a search warrant. Honestly it did not shock me that the govt seized tax records, medical info, passports etc. yet the Alt-right is hyperventilating over it. While completely ignoring the fact it was the investigating team that alerted the filter team and the Court.
Really there’s no conceivable or rational argument to be made, that Trump would abscond to a county we don’t have an “in force MLAT” with. Here’s the 2020 MLATs we are party to;
Because as you said Trump is a narcissist and I can’t see him running and hiding
With respect to PII being swept up, It really depends on the nature of the investigation and crimes. Meaning if a shell (and/or shelf) companies (of which Trump has literally hundreds of) yes investigators would want to seize as many documents authorized via the warrant
Re: "Donald Trump’s filing system is like a squirrel on Red Bull hiding their nuts before winter hibernation." I live for this snark from you, Mic, and THIS is why a post from you will always get a 1.2.3.* from me.
*My verbal shorthand for this greeting standard: kiss on one cheek, kiss on the other, and (the proof of sincere affection in a bullshit world of fronters) kiss on the first again
Thanks again, for combing through these filings and providing us with your take on what they mean. I agree that once again, trump has pulled his "deflect, deny, delay" trick. Like you, I have utmost faith and trust in Merrick Garland and the DOJ. I feel they want to get this case correct with no possibility of a retrial. Thank you again for taking your time to read and explain the filings.
I genuinely don’t think the Government will appeal the Court’s Order —here’s why:
1) an appeal will be tied up for months and ultimately could go to SCOTUS. Generally speaking that could add a minimum of 6 months and up to 18+ months
2) the Special Master is on an expedited track. Meaning it could add 6 to 12 additional weeks.
2a) the Court ordered parties to meet & confer and file a joint status update this Friday
2b) parties must provide the Court with a list of potential Special Master
2c) the SOW (scope and statement of work) will have to be ironed out, as will the cost and how much each party should pay (realistically Trump should bear all the cost but it’s likely to be a 50:50 split)
I’ve checked the docket a few times today and to date there isn’t a notice of appeal. Not to say the Government can’t or won’t file. I just think the risk analysis the Govt is currently conducting will likely weigh in favor of not appealing
Filey, I read every word you wrote and I don’t have the legal expertise to fault or contradict any of it.
However, speaking merely as someone who despises tRUmp and anyone who aids and abets his lifelong criminal enterprises, albeit, with the confidence that your take is the correct one, I still have two comments.
Fuck tRUmp and fuck anyone who delays or helps him avoid the perp walk that I so fervently long for. Also, fuck his whole criminal family and all the so called Republicans who carry his steaming, diaper bag!
OK, that may be three or four comments, depending on how you’re counting.
My youngest is convinced that I shoot lasers out of my eyes and occasionally she will say “mama you need to put your glasses on because if looks could kill”
I did try to restrain myself from being too spicy, regarding the Judge’s ruling but then I realized that pragmatism is way better than a litany of F bombs
Thank you Spicy for your thorough explanation! I always wait for your specifics, expertise , and your thorough understanding of the rule of law. I will admit I was upset by Cannon's ruling but not the least shocked. I do have complete faith in Garland. It may take awhile but TFG will go down. Again thank you for all you do for us. Take care of yourself. I so enjoy your videos and beautiful pics. The screaming goat was so funny!
Never, in the history of the world, has telling a woman to "Calm Down" ever really been andeffective way of changing things. But I do so appreciate your attempt. lololol Anyhoo... love you!
Feed your soul.
Just know... "...I knew you were trouble when you walked in..." 🥰
Can confirm -my husband learned the hard way —telling me to calm down but I really wanted my readers to understand the alternative point of view. I read the order 3xs mainly because the first two readings I kept saying WTF out loud
And you know I stay away from the Blue Qanon Screaming Goats of Twitter. There are a couple who shall remain unnamed that are still believed and relied on for their hot takes. One isn’t even a lawyer but plays one on Twitter & Apple podcasts.🙄
Anyway, I’m still waking up & reading. Need more coffee but wanted to throw this very old clip of Linda Ronstadt in here. I figured as soon as the shock & outrage of the NEWS settled down this wasn’t going to be as devastating as first takes predicted it would be.
Your insight that this could actually end up providing cover to DOJ in the case there’s an existing unsealed indictment is unique and makes sense.
McQuade seemed to cut to the chase yesterday, and she argued that this case wouldn’t set binding precedent. Today she seems to think AG Garland might be inclined to appeal. Have a great week & ttyl❤️
I’m intellectually spent, it was a very long day (which only wrapped up 45 minutes ago) and insomnia kicked in last night. So I’m literally copying and pasting my comment to another reader here
…hey at least I’m owning it <snort>

I love Linda. She was my customer when I managed a B&N in Tucson. She and I would sit and talk about children's books at the little tables in the children's department. People thought she was a spicy bitch. I thought she didn't suffer fools and just said what she said. She does that here, too. Thanks for the reminder and also the reminder that Rupert Murdoch came from Australia and should have been sent back. lololololol
Thank you AS ALWAYS & SO MUCH, Filey. I was waiting for your perspective... while hyperventilating privately (not gonna lie). But your analysis clarified the whole picture... So grateful!!
I worked on that article until 2AM -hence the many typos but honestly I could go back in and correct them but I just don’t want to —because I’m mentally exhausted. I’m glad you found this article reassuring and informative. I know my readers trust me and that’s not something I’ll ever take for granted. Ironically it was my husband who kept bugging me to write this article. But at the time I wanted to see if the pattern I observed shortly after the release of the Order warranted my input & snark. Meaning on certain issues I can’t sit on the sidelines because I know my readers are reliant on my analysis, spelling errors and all <snort>
Mea culpa . . . I was FURIOUS when I heard the judge approved what seemed to me to be a frivolous request. Temper tantrum is over now & I feel better having read your thoughts/explanations. Thanks for this attempt to turn down the temperature on this boiling over pot of hysteria Filey.
Questions for you re: Special Master. Who nominates, selects, approves a Special Master? Do DOJ & #TraitorTrump have to agree on the person chosen? Won't the Special Master have to have a ridiculously high security clearance because of the potential to see extremely highly classified materials?
Sorry that Tuesday is really Monday in your world. Hope you & yours had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend.
There’s nothing to apologize for, those are your feelings and you’re entitled to feel that way. Honestly I was waiting for actual lawyers to weigh in but then I realized that most didn’t explain the “silver lining” in the Order.
It’s not that I’m an eternal optimist, it’s just that occasionally I have a unique perspective and often I tune out my “feelings” and just focus on the facts
Re Special Master: the court ordered parties to meet & confer & file a joint status report by this Friday. That report must include the following:
-a list of potential candidates to serve as a special master
—One thing that’s getting overlooked is who ever is appointed must already have the prerequisite security (TS/SCI) clearance. That will limit the pool of candidates
-the SOW (scope and statement of work) hasn’t been approved by the Court, because the Court is reliant upon the parties Friday filing. Again on Aug 31st I opined on the possibility of a special master:
Largely because I didn’t want my readers to have any false expectations but again the fact that both the FBI & US Attorney needed to get an additional clearance just to read the TS/SCI SAP <—the special master will also require that heightened level of security clearance to read some of the documents Trump stole
Phew. Again, I am grateful for your analysis of Judge Cannon’s order. I have learned over the years to be patient. It’s hard to do but I do have complete faith in Merrick Garland and our DOJ/FBI. Thanks for bringing reason and sanity to this intricate and complex case. I can always depend on you to set the record right.
I 100% agree with you, that being patient is extraordinarily difficult . Because like you I’m constantly asking; when is that unethical, treasonous, POS finally going to be indicted… I also want a public perp walk. Mainly because I want Trump to be humiliated. He spent 4+ years emotionally terrorizing millions of Americans. We are owed a perp walk.
as I mentioned in early August this particular issue just “feels different” mainly because it’s largely on paper and literally black and white. However the ongoing Grand Jury testimony concerning (yet another criminal investigation) of Trump’s conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Govt Proceeding <—that’s one criminal investigation that Trump should be worried about. And when I say he should be worried I hope he’s stressed the bleep out -especially now that he knows that both Cipollone and Philbin testified before that GJ last Friday.
I saw that & wondered about Cippolone. He declined to answer some of 1/6 committee questions saying (if memory serves) something along the lines of he wouldn't discuss specific conversations with #TraitorTrump. He doesn't have that luxury when testifying to GJ does he?
My husband and I were talking 5 minutes ago about the same thing, we want to see a perp walk and my husband wants him handcuffed behind his back. All evening long I’ve had this strong feeling Trump will be indicted really, really soon. (Gosh, I hope so and I hope this is not wishful thinking.) I am exhausted from the daily “briefings” and “breaking news”. I can barely keep up!
Ditto what Kristie said Filey. There is SO much information! And legalese is way outta my wheelhouse. I'm really glad to read your summations where you get to the point of what is really going on , what to watch for & why. In a way, I feel like you're our very own Cliff's Notes for all these legal docs. Thanks for all you do.😉

HA!😁😂 Exactly... I'm going to work at staying calm because this is going to be a long process.😌
Thanks for the take. "Calm down" was what I needed. Broke my fever. And the reminder to be wary of Twitter.
FUCK, I'm glad to see you've weighed in. I've only read the title but "Calm Down." is helpful.

This is all completely reasonable. I will now calm down ✔️✔️✔️

Mea culpa. Math is hard.
Cheers
Motion Seconded —-because I absolutely agree with your sentiments
"... the appointment of a special master might work in the Government’s favor and will preemptively take the wind out of Trump’s partisan sails."
ITA, Filey. This is not the WIN they may think it is. I had to read the Order twice--once for WTH?? and a second time to make sense of it.
And...I love the screaming goat, Miss judgey-eyes. (I do not partake of beverages while reading your posts.) Be well, gurl.
