https://newrepublic.com/post/190082/donald-trump-judge-aileen-cannons-jack-smith-reportAn appeals court has denied an emergency motion from two of Donald Trumps co-defendants to stop the release of a report on the president-elects felony classified documents case.
Special counsel Jack Smiths team had asked the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Judge Aileen Cannons decision blocking the reports release in favor of Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager of Mar-a-Lago, and Walt Nauta, a Trump aide who was photographed carrying large boxes around the estate. The court agreed with Smiths side, ruling Thursday that the report could be released after three days.

I absolutely hate the guy and he is a certified moron but he does have a low cunning and knows how to play the media and his cult members. Hell continue to get away with everything especially with the mainstream media totally folding.

All of his crazy bullshit (Canada, Greenland, Gulf of America, Panama Canal, blah blah blah) is just a red herring to distract from the robbing of America.

It's instinctual. I believe it is in his DNA. It is part of his programming, for sure.
Just as being a grifter is innate. He is so "good" at all of it.

(2,040 posts)Those dictators you named were indeed monsters. However, as you said, they still had a strong ideology, hell even at least installed social programs, critical infrastructure, and tried to make their country...in their warped eyes...better. if Hitler hadn't done the Holocaust, been a murderous creep, he would have been a great chancellor.
This clown is unlike anything we have seen, perhaps he is like Caligula? He is definitely not Nero. He is an oversexed, mentally deranged, narcissistic clown with no principles.

(605 posts)Judges are not paid to protect people from their own stupidity and ignorance of the law. They are there to make judgements based on legality of the law. Special favors should NEVER be allowed. If they are, they should have their license revoked and never practice law again.
It's actually quite simple, right? This wench has done this over and over again and should be reprimanded immediately. Overriding her many corrupt judgements by an appeals court is unacceptable.

There is a process to relieve them of their judicial standing, other than impeachment.

(17,247 posts)To prove your innocence. When these traitors disguise themselves as politicians and refuse to release investigative reports just proves they have something to hide.
Otherwise theyd be all for the release to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were innocent. However, burying the report makes them look extremely guilty in my book!

(17,247 posts)The evil has lurked within the republican establishment has existed for a long time. I became aware with Nixon. I saw through his viciousness with his extreme contempt for the youth in this country.
Ever since Nixon got impeached the republicans have waged a war on democrats, liberals, progressives, they started the culture wars still ongoing.
A few of the scandals I remember from my awareness as a teen growing up.
Watergate buried investigation
Iran Contra buried investigation
Illegal sale of weapons buried investigation
Saving and Loans, buried investigation
WTC, I dont remember any real investigations
WMDs buried investigation
And then well there are so many investigations that we know they have been buried

(2,040 posts)Sidenote, that number seems so tiny! I would have thought 70%! Plus obesity includes those with heavy muscle and bone density, too. Wow, would have thought the figure to be higher.

(7,338 posts)in order to read a completely unredacted version of what Trump did. Not for our overseas assets, but otherwise spell it out. What he took, where he took it, etc.
Don't forget that he took docs on a plane to show to unqualified reporters, for what reason? If you or I had done that, we'd have gone to jail for several years. He had box after box after box sitting unsecured in his toilet, and on the stage. This is the guy that mouthed off for Russian greeters in Washington, had Xi visit him at MAL, and wanted a direct back line to Moscow installed. Feel safe? Hell, he saluted a North Korean general. What a POS.
