The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals having previously ruled the special master cannot review classified documents, also ruled today against the special master having any involvement in the filtering of seized documents from Mar-a-Lago. [Ruling Here]
Previously, the lower court appointed a special master to review the seized documents and ensure no privileged material was exploited by the DOJ. However, the appellate court determined the DOJ can independently define a national security interest and classify documents with no legal basis for challenge, therefore the special master cannot filter classified documents.
Today the appeals court essentially said if the search warrant was legally predicated and legally valid, and if the search warrant was used legally, then all the seized documents are valid for the investigative purposes of the DOJ – regardless of their content. The only way to fight the authority of the DOJ seizure is to challenge the legality of the search warrant. However, here’s where things get weird.
President Trump’s lawyers have been: (1) blocked from receiving a non-redacted search warrant; (2) denied access to the underlying probable cause affidavit used to predicate the search warrant, and (3) denied the full contents of the documents that were seized as part of the warrant (they are not allowed to see). Yet somewhere in this convoluted mess, we are supposed to believe a 4th amendment violation doesn’t exist.
Florida – […] The ruling by the three-judge panel, including two Trump appointees, goes into effect in seven days, absent intervention by the full circuit court or the Supreme Court.
“The law is clear,” the judges found. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so.”
The order effectively eliminates what federal authorities had described as a major obstacle in their ongoing criminal investigation into whether Trump illegally retained highly classified records after leaving the presidency and obstructed efforts by the government to recover them. He denies wrongdoing.
The appellate judges had signaled in a hearing last week that they were likely to order an end to the special master’s review. They repeatedly expressed concern that the appointment of third-party judge Raymond Dearie by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida lacked any clear precedent. (read more)
As it stands right now, President Trump has not been permitted to see the documents that support the search warrant, nor the scope of the search warrant as issued (the DOJ is claiming national security interests). The appeals court today is saying as long as the hidden search warrant is valid, all seized documents are valid.
How is President Trump supposed to challenge the legality of the seizure if the DOJ isn’t required to produce the legal basis for the warrant?
The legal challenge against the underlying warrant is the key issue.
In a recent court filing [Document Here], President Trump through his legal counsel has requested Judge Cannon to unredact and unseal the search warrant affidavit used as the predicate for the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Apparently, the DOJ have yet to provide President Trump with the constitutionally required predicate documents to support their search.
While asking the court to provide the affidavit to the defense team, the lawyers for President Trump are noting the fourth amendment protects everyone against warrantless searches and seizures, and that same protection also guarantees the target the right to receive and review the claimed justification for the warrant.
The unredacted affidavit is obligated to be supplied so that it can be determined if the search warrant was legally valid and predicated. General search warrants are not legally permitted. The warrant must specify what is being searched and why. The DOJ is fighting against this affidavit release. The Trump lawyers are asking the judge to make a decision.
“They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you. And I’m who’s standing in their way.”
This is what a post-constitutional republic does. The US Constitution is treated as a museum relic, not a governing document, agreement, compact with We, The People.
The US Constitution, already on life support, was killed off in 2020. Under pretense of an emergency. How every free nation is enslaved, excepting foreign invasion.
And still, 99% of Americans either yawn or pacifly lament. Even Republicans, not moved to act. Land of the (enslaved), home of the (apathetic). Brazilians and Chinese are braver. And will be freer than Americans on this trajectory.
I am amazed that with the very real threat of torture, prison and possibly death, the Chinese are out there protesting.
Most of us still believe we have something to lose. They’re past that.
Believe what you wish. I believe Americans no longer have brains, chins, chests nor spines. If they did they’d have hanged these traitos long ago. Instead we elect Brandon and Fetterwoman.
I haven’t visited my parents since they voted for Brandon. Who cares what their grave looks like after voting for this creep.
“have something to lose” hmmmm, y’mean our COUNTRY?!
I’m not surprised at the Chinese protestors. We’ll be doing the same thing even when threatened as they are.
We’ll be cursing ourselves for not taking the threats seriously and sooner.
uh-huh, don’t be so sure… “we did not love freedom enough” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Really? Where have all the men gone?
Not like the Arizona
election officials in Mohave and Cochise counties
WE may be close to that desperation!
The US Declaration of Independence established for all time what is and is not a legitimate government.
The US Constitution also, established for all time, the limits of that legitimate government and further sub-divided power to the States which sub-divided that to citizens. In short, powers not ‘explicitly’ listed at the Federal or State level belong to the We the People.
Even once a legitimate and limited government is in position from an ‘honest’ election of its citizens, there are additional limits placed from the Bill of Rights that even a majority cannot cross against each and every sovereign individual.
The fundamental God-given rights of life, liberty and property cannot be taken by force by the Government without due process in a court of law (not men) ‘and’ by a unanimous vote of a jury of their peers.
Reestablishment of these principles by Strong men who ‘also’ fear the final judgment of God will be required before the Winter that is coming can turn into Spring.
Try to take heart Freedom Fox. We have all been going through the various stages of grieving since the 2020 election was stolen and this last one was just an insult to the intelligence. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.
We grieve that the country we love has been taken over, the institutions we held in esteem, corrupted.
It took time, but many now see the news media (was the 4th estate) as little more than propaganda. The 3 estates of the realm were clergy, nobility, commoners.
Depression is anger turned inward. Action, something we can actually do, reinvigorates the soul. Most of us here have been trying to find what we can do. Sundance has been our Paul Revere, to give us warning.
Each person has to assess their lives to find what they can DO to restore our republic. To fight back however they can.
We know the gov bureaucracy works hand in glove with the multinational corporations and needed the 4th branch to control us.
Personally, I have combatted the grieving since 2020 by every morning finding another task to starve the beast. The multinationals, the federal reserve banking system, RNC, DNC, all of it.
“Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.”
Those paying attention to where America’s been going the last 20 years had none of these. They knew when counting simultaneously stopped in 6 states at 2230 EST the election was being stolen.
You need to do a much better job of infiltration if you want to deceive people into believing you’re a conservative.
So your fix is?
secession
I have seen signs to that effect here in Texas. They’re not overly common to see but they’re out there. Some of them say Texit.
Ask the Minutemen at Lexington or the men who crossed the line in the sand at the Alamo.
You know the fix but are unwilling to say it and dare another to speak for you.
A Coup Feral Gov cannot be unselected as 2022 proved It must be removed by watering Mr Jeffersons Tree.
Does that answer your question, comrade?
Exactly – everybody keeps looking for a new and different solution. Sorry, the solution is the same as it was in 1776 – we just don’t have the courage of our forefathers.
DeSantis’ real place, (if he was what he said he was, which he isn’t) is in leading a States’ Rights rebellion and cobbling together state coalitions.
I have a theory about America: it’s become total bullshit from top to bottom. Of course Gd always works with one man, and that man is always devilishly hard to find. Hopefully, he’s out there. Though I don’t think we’ve met him yet. Trump looks like a beleaguered Preparer to me, a John the Baptist figure.
America hasn’t begun to suffer what Russia went through for 70 years. I think we have to pass through a similar hell.
Liberals have punched som many holes in the constitution that the document is unrecognizable by design. These people have stolen many elections from us. They do not care about the constitution.
Most politicians are corrupt. The DOJ is corrupt. The FBI is corrupt. CIA is corrupt. The NSA is corrupt. The IRS is corrupt, Biden is corrupt. SCOTUS is corrupt. Judges are corrupt. Post office is corrupt, etc.
Anyone see a pattern here?
Don’t forget the FDA and CDC.
You’re so right, you made me cry! I though I was done with hopelessness when Durham came aboard.. WRONG. Barr is the one who worked to get Durham for us. We’re getting buried by crooks!
since 1989, I’ve been amazed at people around the world who have demonstrated greater love of liberty than Americans in this, “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave” 🙄🥱
Include Tahrir Square’s millions who braved harm and overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood’s tyranny – haven’t heard a peep of trouble out of Egypt since, have you?
Passively or pacifly or both?
Maybe that trajectory will change when the FBI takes a knee to us?
..or when the January 6th Gulag becomes a thousand times larger…or when 87,000 IRS agents make it worse than that?
…had the murder of Ashlee Babbitt been big news as the death of George Floyd…and the reaction been as equal as was the mob’s reaction through the summer of 2020??
Just in 2020? I think you may be missing a century or so in your counting.
We Americans have swallowed the MIC/ Hollywood vainglorious kool aid. We really think it’s us up there on the screen.
There are Internet chairs, some with red, others with blue upholstery and then there are Omniplex chairs.
Context and color scheme aside, Americans mostly love their chairs. Some people think munching red joo-joobs makes them better than the guy with the blue ice cone.
Whatever.
If the Attorney General were bound by the law,the fact that the basis for the warrant,which nobody outside the DOJ has apparently seen in it’s entirety,the warrant would be voided.The appeals court judges were quite harsh in their ‘judgement’ of the lower court’s ruling to discourage anyone questioning the duplicity and willful,feigned ignorance of their own ruling.The Supreme Court needs to look this over,whether Roberts likes the idea or not.Garland needs to actually read a law book.Maybe he’ll learn something.
Your mistake is in thinking Garland gives a that’s a$$ about the law.
Garland is in a large group that flounts the law/…ALL Democrats!
Garland is so arrogant he already thinks he knows everything and is above the law. Thus he is unteachable and will learn nothing no matter what he reads. He is cut from a cloth of incredible pride and egotism.
The needs and will of the Democrat Party are the Law and policies of the USA, Inc. government.
What do you mean “look this over?” Are you kidding? The Supremes are more corrupt than any organization.
Boy,that first sentence is brutally,badly written.Sorry.Let’s try again.If the Attorney General were bound by the law,the search warrant would be voided because the unedited warrant,and it’s basis,haven’t even been read by anyone outside the DOJ,especially by lawyers for the subject of the warrant.Attention: Merrick Garland.That’s illegal according to that musty old Constitution.
“However, the appellate court determined the DOJ can independently define a national security interest and classify documents with no legal basis for challenge, therefore the special master cannot filter classified documents.”
Waving their magic Judiciary Power, the DOJ is made independent of the Executive when it comes to defining National Security interests..Separation of Powers, Executive Privilege, the Fourth Amendment, Probable Cause…be damned.
He doesn’t care. He thinks he’s infallible.
The accused has the right to see the warrant based on the right to face his accusers: the warrant is part of the accusation.
I always credited PDJT with having lawyers who would have known the laws surrounding Search Warrants and anything else born of the Constitution. Maybe his lawyers have tricks up their sleeves? They better have!
Would not surprise me if PDJT has to flee the country to escape the government corruption. That’s what happens in banana republics, of which America is most certainly.
Well done Bagpipes- you seem very comfortable in the corruption.
Nothing puts the ‘stamp’ of illegitimacy on a Government quite like the popular opposition needing to flee the country does it.
And there will be all kinds of Democrat splodey heads if people – and memes – start referring to President in exile Trump.
Famous quote in a Jack Ryan book about Ryan saying that when the judiciary of a country becomes politicized and corrupt the only remedy is civil war.
I like this quote along those lines the best.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”- JFK (March 13, 1962)
One of my favorite quotes from JFK. It is so true and never more so than now.
The Mafia solution will also work and result in far less bloodshed.
EVERY day that quote becomes so relevant I want to know if I am too old to learn how to shoot a gun. I’m too old ( 87) to run!.
Billy got his payola. He doesn’t hold any grudges.
I can’t imagine where he could go that would be safe for him and his family.
Someone far more a nobody who messed up a bunch of Branch 4 ops a decade or so ago has done pretty well in Russia. He’s still vertical, breathing, has a family and evidently a nice new Russian passport today.
Poland?
I guess Putin picked a good time to give Snowden a passport. Whistleblower on Branch 4 long in exile.
PT said bagpipes was afraid of being Impeached!…What a coward.
President Trump not allowed to face his accusers and documents yet again.
So if the 11th Court is corrupt, how quickly can this get to Supreme Court to determine how corrupt it is?
On another note, I have seen many tv court dramas where the defendent is released because the prosecution can’t provide a “fair and speedy trial”. Is this fair and speedy trial a real thing and was it just tossed out for the J6 people?
Yes, because J6 showed just how venerable the criminal syndicate in DC actually is. Just Patriots (not counting the false flag FBI ops that did real violence and damage) wandering around doing an unscheduled tour of the capital was enough to take away their veneer of invincibility as well as legitimacy on live TV.
Remember the DC crime syndicate knows they are stealing elections, and have for some time. As this fact progressively spreads, along with the suffering due to their fraud and looting, our numbers and anger will only grow.
Watch rules for rulers, to see how this dynamic always plays out.
The DC crime syndicate is protected not only by liberal judges but also liberal juries. Any case against a conservative will go the deep state’s way.
There is a far deeper social dynamic that always comes into play at the end of a corrupt and bankrupt empire.
While we need to fight to reverse the tide, we must also be in a position, should that fail, to win the peace back for the Constitutionally Limited Republic ‘created’ by the States of our foundation.
What we want to avoid at all costs is some long-duration chaos or even worse a French Revolution or tyrannical strongman method of ‘restoring’ an even more centrally controlled and thus even more corrupt order.
Anarchy and Tyranny are at the extreme opposite ends of a Constitutionally Limited Republic.
Fortunately, the US has a somewhat unique fallback for the failure of our corrupt Federal government, namely the State governments, and even the County/City governments when the States governments (ie CA, NY etc) are just as corrupt.
Most assuredly once the global dollar standard falls the corrupt Federal Government and the parasitic ‘blue’ States/Counties/Cites will not be far behind.
Fortunately, even with the corrupt election system, the vast land area of the United States of America is MAGA country.
Is this fair and speedy trial a real thing and was it just tossed out for the J6 people?
It was tossed out just for the J6 people.
What’s the phrase, “with prejudice”? Is that when a case is dismissed and cannot be re-brought?
Would be nice to see a Supreme Court throw out all these political lawsuits against PDJT, including all the games and innuendos the DOJ that is being bandied about.
Not going to hold my breath since these robe wearers are secure in their homes and livelihoods, but would be nice to slap down the concept of ‘DOJ sources and methods takes precedence over the Constitution’ once and for all.
I fail to see why there are not riots in the streets for this abuse of power……… it matters little whether you like Trump or hate him.
What we see is an instrument of government that is clearly (now) too powerful. After years of many people doing what they feel like (no matter how illegal) we get to a point that removal might be the only way.
They (whomever they are) currently have falsified elections….actively brought false (admitted) constructed evidence against a serving president…… illegally invaded countries (WMD) waterboarded people and spun it off as legal……
Heck if you can throw people in prison for years on the basis of a constructed “January Insurrection” and the public cannot even comment on it because of this fear instilled everywhere.
Fact is you yanks have lost the plot….. under the guise of “National Security” you allowed others to be abused on the basis that you can ‘Trust” your government……….
Well?? smell the coffee…… you cannot trust any government and especially the one you have got……they will come for YOU sooner or later!
Couldn’t have said it any better myself. We stand now for our rights and freedom of lose them fora very long time if not forever, I’m sure many feel this way but how do you organize a successful campaign to take our country back and one that will succeed.
Great comment. They only could get away with this if they knew the election system was rigged in their favor AND that the mainstream media provided much needed cover for them.
It’s sad to me that President Trump and many others still believe we have a Justice system to uphold law and provide relief from illegalities. We just don’t!! Everything in this country is corrupt to the core.
Even RDS
The ONLY thing that MAY get more people more involved and do SOMETHING positive is for things to get worse for Joe Sixpack and Susie Cupcake.
So far high food, gas and utility prices hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Many stolen elections hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Mass illegal immigration hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
School systems infiltrated by communists and perverts hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Riots and looting hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Leaving behind billions of dollars worth of military equipment in Afghanistan along with American citizens hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Being forced to take a questionable vaccine for a questionable virus hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Violent crime hasn’t produced much mass reaction.
Mass protests are happening in other countries such as Brazil, Pakistan, China, parts of Europe, Iran, others.
Why not here?
Still too comfortable maybe?
Can things can get much worse than it is now?
Are we waiting for Trump to do it all?
While unpopular here, a rail strike would be a good start to making things less ‘comfortable’. As I posited, a wider walkout and a NY run on financial instruments would assist. No violence needed. Suffering, yeah, there would be suffering. That’s what moves the ‘comfortable’ barometer.
Concurrently, recruit disenfranchised ex-military to the patriot cause in case direct action is needed. Lots of them these days with crappy treatment of veterans and active duty being booted for not following the vaccine and mask mandates. It all adds up.
Exactly
Must be passive
Must be massive
Must be non violent
Must target DOJ/FBI/Fed Courts
Must pick out 2-5 Walmart/Disney/Target/GM/ types also.
We would need 50 to 100 million in the streets sitting in and passively protesting
Needs to happen before they arrest Trump because that is going to happen in less than 60 days.
What makes your last line truth, please?
When enough people care enough it will be far too late. The lessons are never learned, nor the wisdom of history respected.
The Gulag Archipelago should be required reading.
A natonal strike and protests, non violent type like the Vietnam protests and the civil rights protests. Target the DOJ, Federal Court and the FBi. PASSIVE, NON VIOLENT, NON DESTRUCTIVE.
100,000,000+ sitting in at federal buildings and courts and offices should get their attention especially if we have the truckers and small businesses prepared to support us.
Maybe we add to the protest lists a Buffet or Walmart or Blackrock or Viacom or Verison or Disney and we shut them down for a couple of months. After all they are a huge contributors to the oligarchy that has destroyed this country.
What’s your idea of what we SHOULD be waiting for. From my perspective, if Trump can’t do it, not a soul om this earth can.Trump is our Leader. WE await his bidding!
They have nothing on Trump and this illegal search cannot be allowed to stand. How much Trump takes on here for the MAGA cause? They pester him with lawsuits and go after his business. They slander, set up traps and defame him. These are small, cunning, corrupt people in charge of Justice, who brag about their own corruption.
Trump has not walked away or turned his back on the political system, although I would not blame him if he did. Trump is going to go down as great stalwart President and hero of the American people. We cannot let him down in this hour of battle.
Well said!
It has to be asked, if the DOJ and FBI have nothing to hide, then why are they acting like they have something to hide?
It’s like the ballot harvesting – you need to know the final score before you can manufacture the needed ‘evidence’
The FBI/DOJ has so abused the ‘national security’ and sources and methods – just one example, shielding Denshenko from discovery by putting him – a fact witness – on the payroll and then claiming sources and methods – and yet the 11th circuit still gives them the benefit of the doubt. And lack of precedence? Yeah, no kidding, because a current President has never ordered a raid on a former President effects.
“First, they came for Trump..
And I said nothing
Because I wasn’t MAGA..”
Never again my arse.
And let’s call a spade a spade – these are McConnell judges – not Trump judges.
Maybe so, but I’d bet they are all Soros judges.
Are we the first people in a society to watch their enslavement documented in real time?
No. Russia in the 20’s, Germany in the 30’s China in the 50-60’s, Cambodia in the 70’s …..
Ummmm, YES!
The 11th circuit is based in Atlanta.. Our country’s in big trouble, kids!
Fascism started with the FDR regime and has flowered under Obama-Biden, with an able assist from the Bushies. I wonder how far this will go?
My guess is the Dhimmies will push this all the way. The only question is if Americans are the same caliber as those that destroyed Hitler, or are devolved into the boot licking metrosexuals of the Bernie Sanders, Obama, Biden, Schumer, Paul Pelosi mood.
Unfortunately I believe far too many Americans have lost their brains, spines, chests and chins. When our youth believe there are various genders; that men can get pregnant that discrimination based on religion, race and class is just dandy, this country is in deep trouble.
A moral citizenry is necessary to respect the Constitution.
Communism went into turbo drive with FDR.
why can’t you just admit that the same people behind FDR were the same people behind Lenin and Stalin?
What difference, at this point, does it make?
SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDAY….
Six but it’s going about 926 so far .
Just you all wait until the real adult judges weigh in! Then it’ll all be straightened out! Just like the FISA judges that were lied to, once they found out the fraud and lies, they…they, uh…never mind.
PERFECT response, Chicken Little!
IOW, President Trump doesn’t get to defend himself.
Now they are not only taking lessons from “1984” but also from “Catch-22”:
When asked what right they have to do this, they reply, “Catch-22.” Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything that you can’t stop them from doing. And if you ask to see Catch-22, the law says they don’t have to show it to you.
In case anyone doesn’t understand the concept of America being taken over by its Enemies Within, (as McCarthy predicted), here we are. The Communists boasted they could take over the US without firing a shot. This has been an effort meticulously planned by Obama & his ilk and slowly & stealthily carried out for years. Trump got in the way of Crooked Hillary putting the final finishing touches on the death of our Republic by defeating her in 2016, despite the illegal spying & criminal attempts by the DOJ/FBI/CIA/MSM/BigTech to block his ability to defeat the DNC. They all got away scott-free with this election interference and criminal conduct.
Trump was duped into hiring AGs & the current FIB director who betrayed him and finalized the conversion of the DOJ into a weaponized arm of the Leftist traitors seeking to destroy our Republic and bring in a Totalitarian State. The only way out of this is to have a Congress that will defund and dismantle this completely corrupt agency and reassign their job duties. There aren’t any “Committee Investigations” that are going to go anywhere until this happens, because no matter what criminal wrongdoing the Committees prove, there will be ZERO criminal referrals that result in prosecution against these In-Your-Face Leftist criminals. In other words it will be just years of the same-old Kabuki theater where the ilk of Kevin McConnell pretend they are doing something to obstruct the complete destruction of America. All while they yuck it up and dine with their Leftist co-conspirators & WEF leaders at lavish, extravagant, and celebratory lobster & caviar feasts on YOUR DIME.
This is indeed the government our Founders warned us about, and wisely set up laws that allow states to take a STRONG stand against a centralized, oppressive federal government. Enter soon to be Lame Duck, King Biden. We are witnessing some states have more successes than others at utilizing state’s powers. I applaud the efforts made in FL, which succeeded at getting FL citizens freed from the federally mandated draconian covid lockdowns which were imposed on the poor saps in Blue states like CA. FL has also led the way in the culture wars by getting Leftist Corporate Bully, Disney & their child sex-grooming initiatives on the run. Disney has lost $Big Money$ and they are now laying off staff. Even the newly appointed CEO has publicly expressed regret at going to battle with FL over their legislation passed to protect young children. FL now has a Voter ID law in place. We need more of these efforts led by governors and state legislatures in other states. All hope is not lost. Yet.
So, is it not true that “red flag” laws are still on the books in Florida..laws that can be easily used against you? Still much to be done there.
As soon as Trump announced he was running again, everybody had to know that the federal government scum would step up their efforts to destroy him, the GOP included. Don’t fall for their lies.
DOJ: We are raiding your home President Trump
Trump: Why?
DOJ: We can’t tell you.
Trump: What are you looking for?
DOJ: We can’t tell you.
Trump: What are you taking?
DOJ: We can’t tell you.
Trump: Can I at least see the warrant?
DOJ: Yeah.
Trump: This is 95% redacted.
DOJ: Yeah. So.
Trump: Why can’t I read what’s in the search warrant?
DOJ: National Security.
This decision makes perfect sense in our current “justus” system when the only rules are that you can do whatever your want as long as Trump is your victim.
PLEASE SOMEONE make the legal argument supporting the removal of the right to a speedy trial for the 1/6/2021 protestors who have been in prison without bail waiting for politically appropriate times to commence their trials. SHOW ME I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS
Or show me how it is ethical for a Federal DIstrict COurt judge to have ex-parte communications about a case and become a party in a case where he is the judge and not be recused or disqualified? SHOW me this is perfectly ethical and appropriate!!!
F them.
It is time to start a national strike with non violent sit ins and non violent passive shut downs and protests.
It should be modeled on the 1960s civil rights protests and aimed at the DOJ, FBI and Federal Courts and especially the Federal Judges like emmet sullivan and others who are the pillars of this corrup “justus” system.
I am not prepared to engage in any violence and not prepared to damage property but I am prepared to passively seek to protest every “F”ing Federal Court in the USA with passive sit ins.
Any government official opposing the full release of the predicate documents containing the specific reason for the warrant and the specific items searched for in the warrant is an enemy of the Republic. They need a jail cell for a few decades.
‘The appeals court today is saying as long as the hidden search warrant is valid, all seized documents are valid. How is President Trump supposed to challenge the legality of the seizure if the DOJ isn’t required to produce the legal basis for the warrant?’ – Sundance
Ah, yes – this is the Catch-22 of Sovietized ‘justice’ under Merrick Beria Garland. One might challenge the US fedgov based on its underlying documents … but the documents are secret for national security reasons, making a challenge impossible.
This is slam-dunk judicial victory, Bolshevik-style. As Soviet dissidents faced with psychiatric exile learned, courts regarded political dissidence as prima facie insane, thereby ensuring automatic conviction.
Donald Trump faces the same drumhead ‘justice’ from Beria Garland’s appointed hatchet man, Jack Smith. The outcome is predetermined. What remains is merely procedural.
Together, the wholly corrupt FBI and DOJ constitute a seamless Soviet police state, for deployment against ‘inconvenient people’ ranging from Donald J Trump to Lady Liberty to you and me.
You’re Horribly correct . Praying.
Then it’s time for these corrupt bastards to dangle. Not one should be spared.
If you are offended by what they are doing to Trump and now Musk go back and review CT’s stories on what they did to General Flynn.
When we didn’t support Flynn they realized they could continue that type of activity and escalate.
I am telling you they won’t stop. It will get worse and worse. You will see not only Trump in jaill but his wife and his family and you will see Musk in jail.
Musk is drawing some mean tweets and media stories.
Donald Trump faced 2 impeachments, the full force of the FBI/DOJ lawfare machine, 24/7 attacks from global media, unending lawsuits, lawless raid on his personal home.
Musk just got Federal approval to launch more satellites.
SpaceX, the American aerospace manufacturing company owned by billionaire Elon Musk, has received federal approval to launch 7,500 satellites in an operation that would expand the company’s Starlink internet services around the world.
Trump in jail is the powder keg that will usher in massive bloodshed. My guess is they just want to damage him politically
The law is an ass.
https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-law-is-an-ass.html
“Legislators, Aristotle said in the Rhetoric, “are obliged,” in framing a law, “to make a universal statement which is not applicable to all, but only to most, cases [since] it is difficult to give a [absolute] definition owing to the infinite number of cases,” each with its own peculiarity. Hence equity “bends” laws to do justice in the specific case. The Greek word Aristotle used for equity is epieikeia. It meant fairness. Aristotle further defined it as “the spirit as opposed to the letter of the law.” (P95 of The Trial of Socrates by I.F. Stone)
Hence the saying, at least by the 1600s that the law is an ass when it cannot follow justice but instead uses myopia for injustice. Our corrupt courts use a microscope on the letter of the law to suit their partisan purpose and ignore the intent and spirit of law our constitution was designed to protect.
Many people think the American Revolution began with Lexington. A deeper dive will show the colonists trying to RESIST the General Warrants that were being authorized by a corrupt court in 1761. 1
The same type of thing that the DOJ is now repeating. What a curious repeat of history.
I hope current events impel more citizens to use the wonderful tool of the information age to independently research our history, both American and that around the world. The planet has seen all of this before, many many times.
What we’re currently going through will IMO end, on a planetary scale, once humans are erased from the genome. Else, we will fulfill our destiny, as we always have.
Simple question: how often is this done. Rarely? Never?
We no longer live in a constitutional republic. The only question left is, what are we willing to tolerate in the name of ‘rule of law?’
I think we saw some pushback with the essential business, mask and vaccine mandates. That was an inkling of what is to come. We’re simply not sufficiently uncomfortable yet.
Those of us who are suffering or uncomfortable know once we go into action there will be no turning back, no standing down. Victory or death. In war, timing is crucial, as is understanding one’s enemy.
We can review the decades leading up to the American Revolution for some relevant guidance.
Do not give up your weapons. That is the last defense against these criminals. They are very afraid of us as long as we are armed.keep that in mind.
The greatest threat to our “national security” are the people, procedures and policies that are being used to define and enforce whatever “national security” means to them at various times; often depending upon who is offending “national security”.
More bullshit. Justice is dead in America.
Once charged and a trial is set, they have to give it all due to discovery. They don’t care about that, they just want him “under indictment” during the next election cycle. So they will do all they can to keep the illusion alive, make the charges as an October surprise, count on the media to hype the potential conviction – which would “result in his removal from office”, this creates the belief that a vote for him is a waste, and then they delay the trial until after the election.
nope
criminal discovery is often ignored now.
you get to have your Brady materials later, after years of appeals, maybe, and nothing happens because of Sovereign Immunity.
yes, Sovereign Immunity, because we are just cattle in this tribe ruled system
IMO, that’s a concise and accurate analysis. This will play out in the 2024 election cycle. History is excellent guidance. The MO is pretty clear now.
My hope is these bread and circus events don’t distract patriots from the essential missions. That, and division and in-fighting, is what the enemy seeks to foment. Ignore the noise. Stay on mission.
Doesn’t this sound like some Alice in Wonderland scenario where the Feds have to have to produce a affidavit that gained the search warrant but Trump and his lawyers can’t see the entire affidavit???
“That is not said right,’ said the Caterpillar.
‘Not quite right, I’m afraid,’ said Alice, timidly; some of the words have got altered.’
‘It is wrong from beginning to end,’ said the Caterpillar decidedly, and there was silence for some minutes.”

I gave Mitch McConnell’s office a call the other day after his remark calling Trump” antisemitic,” after the Kanye set-up. dinner. I don’t usually bother to call out the Senator but he has been behaving so badly during the midterm election cycle , I thought I’d give it a TRY. Anyway, a staffer actually answered the phone.
I told him it seemed obvious the antisemitism remark is uniquely inappropriate when applied to Trump because not only are his daughter and grandchildren Jewish, Trump is and was quite supportive of Israel, even moving their capital to Jerusalem when he was President.
The staffer remained silent, so encouraged I told him the only reason Mitch is in office is because Trump endorsed him last election, and the corruption McConnell displays regarding China and our own freedom is transparent to all.
I explained to him that MAGA is at least 75 million strong and if they think they can push DeSantis and his book deal on us over Trump, then the Republican Party will be destroyed. Because we will not vote for DeSantis if they destroy Trump.
Finally the staffer responded with, “I have to take another call”so, at least I told him.
McConnell is a traitor and has been so way to many years. He could care less what you think. He doesn’t work for you.
Well done
“The law is clear,” the judges found. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so.”
—————————————
Can any legal eagles here quote “the law” (e.g, statute)the “judges found”?
This must be appealed to Scotus.
It’s a ridiculous argument.
Repeal the National Security use…..
Welcome to the era of the American Stasi.
“…as long as the hidden search warrant is valid, all seized documents are valid.” Is this going to force disclosure of the hidden search warrant? Can Trump use this to his advantage?
Do you think Trump regrets signing the 702 renewal yet?
Irony…
To Joan, I really believe Americans are scared. I also believe that we do NOT need a full scale revolution. If a few would go after a few in no particular order. The rest would run like scared rabbits. They won’t know who is next.
When they try to take my means to defend myself and my family and friends and then I will defend myself and my family and friends
