72. I think it is fucking brilliant

Trump created this spectacle with his demands that the warrant be released, with his followers amplifying that. The thing is trump could have released his copy at any time. Instead, he chose to drum up his cult to make death threats to the judge and attack the FBI.

He backed trump's ass into a corner. Trump never thought that he would release the warrant, so he could use that as an attack point on the FBI, DOJ and judges. trump is on record as demanding the release of the warrant, of which he could have released it at any time. Trump now has a choice, fight the release in court or let the DOJ release it. News reports are also pointing out trump has a copy he can release, why didn't he?

trump and his "crack" team of lawyers are woefully unprepared.
