1. Team Trump begs Congress to derail DOJ's classified docs probe

This is a very stupid move by TFG. Congress has no power to block the DOJ/Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation. This filing contains admissions that Jack Smith will be able to use against TFG. I hope that this is a stunt that TFG demanded because I can not imagine any lawyer coming up with this stunt

It was against this backdrop that the former president sent a remarkable new appeal to Capitol Hill yesterday. The New York Times reported:

Lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump asked lawmakers on Wednesday to place the intelligence community in charge of assessing Mr. Trump’s handling of the classified documents found in his possession after leaving office, saying Congress should strip the Justice Department of authority to run the investigation.

If this sounds outlandish, that’s because it is. In a 10-page letter to the House Intelligence Committee, Trump’s lawyers — in all seriousness — argued that they believe a “legislative solution” by Congress is “required” to prevent federal prosecutors from pursuing the case further.

The letter proposed that the Justice Department “should be ordered to stand down.”.....

University of Michigan law professor Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. Attorney and an MSNBC legal analyst, added this morning, “Surely, they know this request is a non-starter that would violate separation of powers. This looks more like a PR move on the eve of indictment.”
