The Appeals Court just overturned Judge Cannon's order prohibiting the DOJ from using the classified documents for their criminal investigation. That was incredibly quick, and it's one of the most conservative Appeals Courts. I think that shows what a POS her ruling was. Trump's lawyers could appeal it to the Supreme Court, but if they do, I predict a shadow docket decision not to hear it ever. It's just too silly, and Trump's strip-mall lawyers are not anyway near qualified enough to argue a Supreme Court case. He would need someone high-powered to do that, and all of them refuse to to touch this nonsense with a ten foot pole.
Funny quote from court:
“In the case of someone who has been president of the United States, they have unfettered access along with unfettered declassification authority,” one of Trump’s lawyers, James Trusty, said in court Tuesday.
Let me fix that for you, dummy: “In the case of someone who
had been president of the United States, they
had unfettered access along with unfettered declassification authority." Of course, they had no such authority as of January 20th, 2020. Using "have unfettered access" is actually perjury! This is three million dollars worth of legal talent? I suspect it's from some lawyers who assume they would never make 3 million in their whole career, so one career-ending case is worth while.
