I can't believe there would be some paperwork that would implicate him. If there was he would have thrown it out by now. No?

What exactly could be done if he still refuses? Perhaps a subpoena he can toss in the trash?

But I still won't believe the committee will get a single document until it's actually in their hands.

He'll whine that the docs are fraudulent or fake or some "deep state" conspiracy to make him look bad. He'll challenge the legitimacy of them, probably through legal challenges. Make book on it. Its how he rolls.

At what point are those records finally handed over? Any chance it will happen in this century?

He and his children, grandchildren, and great-granchildren can no doubt keep this up for at least another four score years.

Sigh. I hope I'm wrong.

12. TFG filed an emergency motion to block a decision that hasn't even been rendered yet!
Tue Nov 9, 2021, 06:35 PM
Nov 2021

From the article:

Trump filed a lawsuit last month to block the records but that case is still ongoing. Trump filed an emergency motion late Monday, asking Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to grant a stay in the case pending appeal or an administrative injunction. Chutkan, however, quickly denied the request on Tuesday, calling the move “premature.”

The judge explained that she hasn’t issued a ruling in the case yet and would only consider a motion for a stay only after she reaches a final judgment. During oral arguments earlier this month, she seemed skeptical of Trump's request.


Sounds like Orange Boy may be panicking just a little bit!

Seriously, I think he's really, really scared. He knows Judge Chutkan is not going to help him, that there's no way she's going to stop the National Archives from releasing those documents, and he is shaking in his shoes this racist, misogynistic twit.

Remember, this is a guy who is used to giving orders to people and expecting them to be followed. He does NOT like not being in control, not one little bit! The fact that the judge who is getting ready to give him the big smackdown is both African American AND a woman is just the frosting on the cake.

That way we know it's about "records sought by Jan. 6 committee", rather than, say, his tax evasion in New York, or his attempt to subvert the election in Georgia, or ...

I have a sneaking suspicion that he will file an appeal today and ask for a stay, and he will get it. These docs are to be released this Friday. Appeals court will want time to look at the docs. TFG know how the legal system works.

Then it's too late, baby. They'll then have the receipts on intent, RICO, and current accessories after the fact.
