In case you ever had an inkling of a germ of a doubt...🤬

In the Mar-a-Lago case, Judge #Cannon has just refused to enforce a routine deadline & it's entirely clear she has no intention of letting this case go to trial before the election or possibly ever. #TrumpIndictment#Documents#legal
BREAKING: #JackSmith's team tells Judge #Cannon that a key witness in #Trump's Mar-a-Lago #documents case retracted false testimony after switching lawyers.
MORE: The new filing from Smith indicates that the D.C. grand jury investigating the documents case wrapped up its work last week.#legal
Hey Cannon? Recuse yourself. And I use "recuse" as a euphemism.
Via Kyle Cheney:
Judge #CANNON has denied DOJ's motion to set some key pretrial deadlines in December, saying she will not consider scheduling adjustments until March 1.
Not one republican has the courage to call #Trump what he is, and "will likely nominate a soon-to-be convicted felon who can't vote or possess firearms and who has been lawfully found by a civil federal jury to be a rapist. The issue will be if he remains free for the entire campaign."
JUST IN: #JackSmith cites the Hur Report to argue that #Trump's handling of classified #documents was significantly more aggravated/willful than Joe Biden's.
"This is objectively correct.Trump is the very worst—the actual bottom of the barrel—of the human beings our country has birthed.You can tell me that he is tied with some others ...Manson, Dahmer, and but as a Trump biographer I’m not going to have any difficulty arguing that no one exceeds Trump in being despicable. Keep in mind that the death toll from his actions during the pandemic will never be equaled by any serial killer or terrorist because it would be logistically impossible." s.a.
He is responsible for the death of many thousands of Americans.
Donald Trump is a horrid, malignant, narcissistic sociopath. He’s one of the worst exemplars of the human species I’ve ever witnessed. Period.
Special counsel’s office is pleading with Judge #Cannon to reverse to recent unsealing decisions they say would identify two dozen witnesses an expose them to threats.
They say Cannon’s rulings were “clear error” — defying 11th circuit precedent — and would cause ‘manifest injustice’
“#Trump is expected to be in attendance Monday in #Florida when Judge Aileen #Cannon presides over a hearing in his classified #documents case in which attorneys will address issues surrounding the classified materials in question.
The hearings will be under seal & held in a SCIF -- a specially-equipped secure room for viewing highly classified materials -- located in Fort Pierce, Florida” #legal#TrumpIndictment
Thread from Mueller She Wrote. Intro by Brandon Van Grack: 1/...
The filing provides further confirmation that some of the classified #documents are incredibly sensitive. Some docs require special equipmt to allow for the discussion of the docs. Cant think of another mishandling/leak/espionage case involving the disclosure and use of such docs.
JUST IN: Judge #Cannon in the MAL classified #documents case enters a paperless Order directing #Trump to file a Response to Special Counsel #JackSmith’s Motion to Modify Bond Conditions on or before June 14. A Reply, if any, from Smith will be due on or before June 21st.
Clearly, Judge Cannon doesn’t seem to be worried about the safety of the law enforcement officers that have targets on their backs courtesy of Donald Trump’s spreading of lies about the MAL search warrant.
A small update from the Mar-a-Lago #documents case: The sealed, ex parte hearing lasted for 3 hours, during which the special counsel's team argued certain classified information should be withheld from #Trump, Nauta, and DeOliveira.
4 attorneys appeared for Special Counsel Jack Smith: Jay I. Bratt, David Harbach, Julie A. Edelstein, and J.P. Cooney, who just entered his appearance yesterday. Unsaid, however, is whether Smith himself attended
After #Trump moved to extend pre-trial deadlines in the classified #documents case, #JackSmith files a scathing response.
The defendants “will stop at nothing to stall the adjudication of the charges against them by a fair and impartial jury of citizens,” the special counsel writes. #legal#TrumpIndictment
A #Trump associate told the FBI of advising Trump to return classified #documents to the National Archives nearly a year before agents searched Mar-a-Lago.
A good time to remind you that Aileen Cannon struck (sealed) information related to potential Stan Woodward conflict, then yelled at the government they didn't raise it, which they had.

New: After the Special Counsel #JackSmith alerted Judge #Cannon in the #Trump classified #documents case in FL that Trump was also trying to delay his 2020 election case in DC, Judge Cannon issued what appears to be a repudiation #legal#TrumpIndictment
As Trump’s classified docs prosecution goes forward, now w no pretense of trial before the election, Judge #Cannon appears poised to permit him to use pub hearings in the case to sound his campaign themes. 1/… #legal
The coup leader/rapist/fraud is blocking a bipartisan border reform bill this month that would’ve provided billions for our border security. He blocked it.
The entire GOP has bent the knee and given allegiance to a man who is charged with #91Felonies, adjudicated fraud, adjudicated rapist, bragged about grabbing women by the genitals, engaged in numerous adulterous affairs, was held liable for sexually assaulting a woman, and is proud of helping kill Roe v Wade.
Republicans are weak and in profound moral collapse.
Undocketed filings in US v #Trump (M-a-L) are stacking up. Yesterday the govt sought permission to file a surreply relating to a reply that isn't docketed yet, which related to a response that isn't docketed yet, which related to a motion that isn't docketed yet. #legal#documents
Special counsel #JackSmith appears to have suspected additional efforts by #Trump to obstruct the government's investigation of his handling of classified #documents, a newly unsealed court filing revealed Tuesday. #legal#TrumpIndictment
