... Trump can maintain executive privilege because he is the true president. He heads up the true government-in-exile. Mar-a-Lago is sovereign territory. Biden and his minions are illegally occupying the White House.

And there are plenty of super-right, super-religious, Federalist Society judges in power to back him up.

However, the docs in question belong to the National Archives. So the question is, how do you claim executive privilege (when your not the executive) for documents that aren't yours to begin with? And how does Trump even have any standing. period?

Anything from when he was president could be privileged. The crime of taking the stuff and keeping it remains. ? This is just to appease Little rich kid donny. All his power has only been through money and Lawyers. I think we still have him big time.

Based on our dismal history of trying and failing to hold the wealthy and powerful accountable in this country, this is just another swing and a miss. If we had a functioning justice system, Trump would already be indicted in multiple jurisdictions on multiple charges. He would have already been a convicted felon in 2016 and would never have been elected in the first place.

Waiting for the perfect time and the perfect case hasn’t ever worked before. I don’t see it working this time either.

I mean, come on. She publicly announced how she was going to rule. No judge should do that before even seeing the opposing party’s response. Almost impossible to draw any other conclusion.

Then, I learned she advised Acosta on protecting Epstein in the Southern Florida US Attorney’s office.

The lights were blinking red.

They would have to reverse their own decision from 8 months ago. I guess we'll see. I think the DOJ will appeal because of the blatant cluster this judge has put out there. I could be totally wrong about that and I can't say I have that much faith at all in the DOJ. Yes Trump appointed a lot of judges. But then again, those same judges ruled against him 60 times in the "Big lie" suits. Then the Supreme court ruled against him a mere 8 months ago. There is hope, we'll just have to see if the DOJ had the fortitude to do it.

The OTHER thing is that the DOJ can outright arrest Trump at this point and by doing so, Mirandize him and interrogate him if he waives Miranda.

The DOJ doesn't have to wait for the appeals ruling on the documents when they have enough to charge him with RIGHT NOW. The DOJ can always add new charges after the 11th or DC Circuits and SCOTUS rule.

The DOJ has four more days to decide to charge, or they have to wait until after Nov 8.

But she hasn't stopped the other investigations. Actually, I don't see why the DOJ doesn't just charge Trump based on the evidence they've collected from the NARA and Jan 6 Committee already. And even the unredacted Mueller Report. All of the rest of it. Like yesterday.

You are right. The country is lost already. The judges are all bought and paid for by the Christo-Fascists. SCOTUS is compromised as is law enforcement, military, SS, and many other federal agencies. At the state level, don't make me 🤮 use 'bad language'

It's over.

The #GOPTraitors will steal the 2022 and 2024 elections. They have enough judges to stop the votes, throw out votes, etc. Ballot boxes limited in Democratic areas. Voter intimidation. Gerrymandering districts. Lies, threats, thugs walking the streets ....

This is 1932 Germany right NOW.

And most people are asleep

Ten more years and it will be over. The take over will be complete.

I will continue to donate to Democrats and be an activist....even though that I know their is no longer fairness in this country. I will be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I fought . I am willing to give my life on the streets.
