Appeals Court Rules in Favor of DoJ to Allow Govt to Continue Using Documents Seized from Mar-A-Lago

[Kondor3]

Well... the Federal government won its appeal and can continue to use the documents and materials seized in the Mar-A-Lago raid...

Government Wins Appeal on Mar-a-Lago Classified Documents

Between this new ruling, and the Special Master ( Trump appointees in both cases) calling Rump's bluff with respect to de-classification...

Not to mention the NY AG filing a mega-suit against the Donald and his grown kids involved in the Family Business...

Looks like Donald has lost this week... Bigly...

No surprise there. The special master can STILL refuse to allow personal papers or privileged documents to be used by the DOJ. Who knows how Dearie will rule but he DOES have the power to curtail some of what the DOJ is doing. For those who are orgasmic over the idea of seeing Trump in prison, better be careful what ya wish for.

 

[DGS49]

The purpose of the Special Master is to review the materials to exclude things that are privileged for one reason or another. So what?

Do Leftists understand how stupid they sound each time they say, "THIS TIME, we got him!"?

The OP is obviously a moron, for describing the A.G.'s lawsuit as a "mega-suit." THERE ARE NO DAMAGES!!!!! No one was harmed. The Banks who are the A.G.'s purported victims are strangely silent. Because they were REPAID!

This is - if you can believe it - the STUPIDEST action against Trump that we have seen yet.

The Special Master called your Orange Baboon's bluff regarding lies about de-classification.

Do Leftists understand how stupid they sound each time they say, "THIS TIME, we got him!"?

Did somebody say that, or even hint at it?

I'll defer to the courts and the jury for feedback on that one...

This is - if you can believe it - the STUPIDEST action against Trump that we have seen yet.

So long as it goes against your traitorous Orange Lying Sack-of-$hit and his Korrupt Klown Kar, it's all good...

I just posted the following post as an OP.
I had not seen that poster Kondor had already offered the forum this news.

So, I'll re-post my OP on Kondor's thread and delete mine ('docs, that damn MarALago docs')

From tonight's Politico:

"Trump suffers setback as appeals panel rejects Cannon ruling"​

"The panel ruled that Judge Aileen Cannon erred.

A three-judge appeals court panel has granted the Justice Department’s request to block aspects of U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling that delayed a criminal investigation into highly sensitive documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

The panel ruled that Cannon, a Trump appointee, erred when she temporarily prevented federal prosecutors from using the roughly 100 documents — marked as classified – recovered from Trump’s estate as part of a criminal inquiry.

Trump “has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents,” the panel ruled in a 29-page decision. “Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents.”

In the unanimous decision, the judges declared it “self-evident” that the public interest favored allowing the Justice Department to determine whether any of the records were improperly disclosed, risking national security damage.
“For our part, we cannot discern why Plaintiff would have an individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred documents with classification markings,” the appeals court wrote in an opinion that listed no individual judge as the author.

“Permitting the United States to retain the documents does not suggest that they will be released; indeed, a purpose of the United States’s efforts in investigating the recovered classified documents is to limit unauthorized disclosure of the information they contain,” the appeals judges wrote. “Not only that, but any authorized official who makes an improper disclosure risks her own criminal liability.”
(the emphasis by me)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is a rather stiff shot to both Judge Cannon and to the Trump lawyers. The unanimous decision is surprisingly blunt, in my opinion. "cannot discern why Plaintiff"......... "not even attempted to show".

This ruling is likely not being received warmly by the lawyers representing DTrump's interest in this case.

IMHO

Well, I'm the last avataree here to know anything about 'Leftist', but.....but tho I know little about 'em I don't recall any who may be one posting "THIS TIME, we got him!"

Which, if one or more of 'em said such, it seems a bit too triumphant to me. On the other hand, if the poster (DGS49) does not, cannot, will not offer the forum some sourcing on his allegation that 'Leftists" claimed such, well......well we are left wondering whether he is simply uninformed, misinformed, or mendacious?

I honestly don't know which. But am asking.

 

[Chillicothe]

Tonight's 'The Hill' also offered coverage on this Appeals Court slap-down of DTrump's lawyer's arguments.

Here is just a taster of their reportage. (where it is 'bolded' for emphasis, I did that.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


"The judges, two of whom were appointed by Trump and one of whom was appointed by former President Obama, also indicated in their opinion that there appeared to be no evidence that Trump declassified the documents while he was still president and that his legal team “resisted” in providing any evidence that he did so using officials channels.

They also questioned why Trump would “have an individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred documents with classification markings.”

“Plaintiff has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents. Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents,” they wrote in the opinion.

The judges highlighted the Justice Department’s argument that the lower court “erred in exercising its jurisdiction to enjoin the United States’s use of the classified records in its criminal investigation and to require the United States to submit the marked classified documents to a special master for review."

-------------------------------------------------------------------"
As mentioned in comments following the Politico piece on the same subject......this court sent a heater-to-the-head of DTrump's lawyers. Writing an opinion that states "no evidence"....or "not even attempted to show".....is circumspect judge-speak for 'You blokes are bush-league'.

Judges seldom hit that hard....unless they think they've been disrespected. IMHO

Ask the agents and sources if no one was harmed? Who knows who got access to top secret documents at Mar a Lugo? How about the empty classified documents folders? Where are the documents? Did Poootin buy them?

trump is a Traitor.

He is never going to prison. How would the Secret Service protect him? This is a pipe dream. And that would go for any other current or former president.

Weird.

The documents were sealed and scheduled to be turned over to NARA. The documents were reported to NARA by President Trump, and this is how NARA and The FBI knew about them. They even inspected the documents and recommended they be secured a bit more until they were handed over.

Then out of the blue Heil Biden orders Gestapo Garland to go on a Publicity Stunt, AKA Maro Lago Panty Raid.

Weirder.

So why would THE FBI need to go through them?

Shouldn't the archivist be going through them and do what they are supposed to do with them?

Doesn't make sense.

Is The FBI going to raid the warehouse in Chicago next where Obama has 30 Million documents he still has not turned over yet?

Weirdest!

Trump-appointed judge who granted his special master request 'abused' her 'discretion': federal panel

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Donald Trump appointee, has drawn a great deal of criticism from Trump’s detractors for granting his request for a special master in the federal case involving government documents he was storing at his Mar-a-Lago resort/home in Palm Beach, Florida. And on...

www.alternet.org

The three judge panel slapped Cannon around. She "abused her discretion." She is a trumpist jurist.

BTW: Two of the appeals court judges are trump appointed.

Yeah but see, all that happened in his mind, (thinks he has amazing mental powers) but he didn't tell anyone in the real world.

Just more lies from a Godless Pathological liar.

Lawyers received instructions to secure Trump's document room months before the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago: report

After federal investigators met with Trump's attorneys, aides added a padlock to the room where documents were stored.

www.businessinsider.com

• Former President Trump met with investigators months before the FBI search on Monday, sources told CNN.
• Investigators asked where Trump stored his documents and attorneys showed them a basement room.
• After the meeting, Trump's attorneys received a letter asking to secure the room, sources told CNN.

Biden, The FBI, and NARA knew The President had the documents because he told them he did. They asked they be secured until they could be transferred to NARA.

So why was Bitler's and Gestapo Garland's Panty Raid needed? Why did Biden order this publicity stunt?

Another win for the good guys.
