BREAKING: Potential earthquake coming in Mar-a-Lago documents case. DC Circuit sets unprecedented schedule requiring Trump counsel to submit filing by midnight TONIGHT and then DOJ to reply by 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Did the court see evidence of national security threats?

MORE: The order makes clear documents are at issue — and the extraordinary light-speed with which the appeals court is moving suggests there will be action on this at the federal courthouse *tomorrow.*

1. Not national security threats

the court is telling Trump that his delay tactic will not work here. The right to a speedy trial is a rule for a reason, shit or get off the pot, indict or drop the case.

Trump is shitting his pants and is attacking Jack Smith, looks like a late bed time for Trump tonight.

Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if national security issues were involved.

[BOSSHOG]

4. Or. If you want a quick reply from trump

Lie or tell the truth.

Trump is a national security issue. MTG will swear otherwise proving my point. Garbage is predictable. And getting old.

[True Blue American]

32. After reading this morning that some of

The TS docs were about our surveillance in the Ukraine I think they now know Trump was selling out to Putin.

[BOSSHOG]

38. And

McCarthy, graham and on and on giving him as much cover as possible. Ya know, the patriotic members of the party of responsibility. He’s left his Jan6 rioters out to dry and “mishandling” TS material MAY GET PEOPLE KILLED. And this is the person conservatives wanna build monuments to.

[True Blue American]

39. 1000%

[housecat]

33. and smelly

[True Blue American]

40. You can include Jordan

Comer, Gaetz and the rest of the bootlickers.

[yonder]

2. "and the extraordinary light-speed with which...."

I'd be happy with super-duper sonic-speed.

[Probatim]

19. I'd settle for hyrdosonic - to quote trunt.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Dunno know what this means, but I don't think DJT is gonna have a good night's sleep.

Your nightmare is just beginning, Donald.

[lastlib]

21. May it be the first of many.....

5. Not much time for Corcoran and Trump

to come up with a story. Corcoran will have to flip on Trump to save his ass.

What also was reported by the judge was for Corcoran to turn over any audio tapes. Wouldn't it be sweet if Corcoran has trump on tape?

If I were a Trump lawyer I would document everything, I'm guessing Corcoran did and if so, it's game over for Trump, obstruction of justice will be a slam dunk.

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. Ignore Snell's tweet, focus on Cheney's

Then it will make sense.

This is related to Howell’s ruling regarding Corcoran’s documents, I believe, which she has already provided to DOJ, and Trump wants to block them from using as evidence.

The only thing I expect to happen tomorrow will be an interim ruling, which will then be appealed by either Trump or DOJ to the next higher court.

[gab13by13]

8. Not what Andrew Weissmann said,

there will not be any appeal.

[BOSSHOG]

7. IMAGINE TRUMP BEING "WOKE" AT SIX IN THE MORNING

Has kev asked marge if all this shenanigans is legal and proper?

[gab13by13]

11. He may not go to sleep

he may be trying to get his goons after Corcoran. He has until midnight.

[LiberalArkie]

37. He may be fueling his jet

[Comfortably_Numb]

9. This ruling shows the stark reality that the glacial pace of the courts is unnecessary

and these god damn judges could have been doing these expedited rulings all along. Fuck the broken courts and the assholes like trump who exploit them. Jesus!!! The Cheeto fuckmunch has always been a national security threat as well as a threat to our democratic system of government, but the judiciary seemed to go along with the big stall. Fuck!!!!

[crud]

23. word

[Boomerproud]

25. Yes!

[gab13by13]

10. There was a stay by the Appeals court, but then,

"The appeals court’s order — from Judges Cornelia Pillard, J. Michelle Childs and Florence Pan, all Democratic appointees — doesn’t identify Corcoran or the case at issue but makes clear that the government was on the winning side of the case in Howell’s court."

It seems to me the Appeals court has already made up its mind.

[mucifer]

12. i keep upvoting threads that i want to happen but don't believe will happen

This is one.

[ecstatic]

13. I truly hope neither side's attorneys were drinking. 12am and 6am deadlines? I'd be so fucked!

Corcoran? You were warned buddy: EVERYTHING trump touches dies. How many mofos need to see this before they learn???

[gab13by13]

15. Maybe Bobb flipped on Corcoran?

Funny that she hasn't been mentioned, maybe she already spilled her guts and that was part of the evidence of criminal activity?

[Hekate]

14. It's after 8pm where I am, so after 11pm on the East Coast. Tick tick tick: cuckoo!

[onenote]

16. Speculation on my part: This is about attorney-client privilege.

District Court Judge Howell ruled that, under the crime-fraud principle, Corcoran could be required to testify. Corcoran is fighting that order. The Court of Appeals is fast-tracking the challenge and the "documents" that Corcoran is required to specify are communications between Corcoran and Trump (or others) that Corcoran is going to argue should remain protected by the attorney-client privilege.

I could be completely wrong, but I don't think the "documents" referred to in the court's order are the classified documents.

[gab13by13]

18. No, you have it right,

with the added caveat that the Appeals court, without naming Corcoran, has already stated that it agrees with the government's position. This says to me that it's possible that Corcoran may be testifying "imminently," not the legal definition of imminent.

[onenote]

20. Where did the court of appeals state that it agrees with the government's position?

And when did Weissman say there could be no appeal of the court's decision?

[H2O Man]

28. Right.

[NoMoreRepugs]

17. This is all sooooo delicious.

[Bev54]

22. I don't think the appeals court has seen anything as yet, but for the fact that

Howell allowed the information to be provided to the DOJ immediately and that Corcoran had to testify, without giving them the time to appeal, likely brought this on so quickly. I do think this was Howell's intention to prevent Trump from further delay in his appeals.

[PlutosHeart]

24. Am hoping that all of the time Smith spent

dealing with international court cases has given him some good connections that might feed into National security issues concerns.

He may just be the man for the job.

Replying to @kyledcheney
UPDATE: Trump lawyers made two midnight filings to stave off effort by DOJ effort to piece Trump’s attorney-client privilege in Mar-a-Lago documents cast.

At 5:36AM, DOJ filed a 6,400-word response, meeting the appeals court’s 6AM deadline. https://politico.com/news/2023/03/21/trump-crime-fraud-attorney-documents-probe-00088215

What happens next? Presumably the appeals court will rule pretty quickly — before noon and maybe even by 9am.

Keep an eye out for Trump lawyers appearing at the federal courthouse today, and possibly even for Corcoran to testify.

(and for the thread as you note, this is SEPARATE from the Stormy Daniels thing - this is one of the federal cases and the latest movement on it)

29. Thanks for posting

[BumRushDaShow]

30. You are welcome!

Apparently he and others have been primarily covering the Proud Boys trial and those doing so have been popping in and out with mentions of the J6 docs case and those court filings/motions.

[Justice matters.]

27. Yep. No doubt the National Security of the United States of America is tired of waiting.

Special Agents abroad, those who are still alive, they are tired of hiding to try to save their own lives all this time they can't do their oh-so important jobs for the NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES!!

Allied countries are tired of waiting as they want to resume sharing their own intel with the NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES!!



Today or tomorrow can't come fast enough

We've been watching these investigations for 6 years now, and it;s always just around the corner that he's getting indicted, and he never does.

I'll believe it when I see it.
