Today, the Department of Justice announced that Federal prosecutors will appeal that part of the order made by Judge Loose Cannon to the Eleventh Circuit.
Oh, and by the way “ In the filings, the prosecutors suggested the government was having difficulty understanding Cannon’s order, saying that the order effectively prevented the intelligence community from undertaking a damage and risk assessment about the consequences of Trump having taken the classified documents, but did not bar the government from taking non-investigative actions with the records, including “briefing Congressional leaders with intelligence oversight responsibilities regarding the classified records that were recovered.” Check? Or Checkmate.
DOJ is being very clever. They appear to be trying to back the 11th Cir into a corner. Also with the stay requests at the District Court they are creating a second bite at the apple with the 11th because they can renew the stay requests there.
thanks TC for sorting through all the mess/confusion/stupidity---and now the action by the DOJ. As I understand what you say, it looks like the DOJ is going for the whole deal. The "having trouble understanding" is a real zinger, IMO. They are ready to roll.....
Despite the risk that the 11 Circuit presents (according to other analysts) asking for a stay and preparing to appeal is what needs to happen. Frankly, this 41 year old woman has put both feet in it and she is now up to her knees. Where do so many of these folks obtain their law degrees - Kracker Jack? They seem unable to think beyond the very present moment - no idea of ripples and implications. Same with Eastman, Clark and so many others. There is a terrible virus loose in the body politic, especially the dying smelly carcass of the gop and like all viruses it spreads easily through the air and airwaves. Resistance practiced day after day is the only vaccination that works. That and making sure your vote will not support any of the liars and grifters seeking political office. Keep calling out the lies and the liars.

This makes me feel somewhat mended. All of us are weary of being ripped by the latest setback.
me too.

I predict she'll double down. She's a MAGAt. That's what they do.
Well done! Both you, and the DOJ.
Just Wow. Thank You TC.
