It’s now been a full 8 days since #Trump responded to #SpecialCounsel#JackSmith’s response to Chief Justice Roberts’ request for a response (jeezuz talk about going in circles) to Trump’s application for a stay.

🤦🏻♀️ #Trump’s lawyers have filed several motions to dismiss the classified #documents case in #Florida, citing, among other things, presidential immunity and arguing special counsel #JackSmith was unlawfully appointed. #legal
That’s assuming they took the case on the merits, which I’m suggesting is not the likely way for them to rule against him with a very good DC Circuit opinion. IMHO it is the more likely is for them to deny his stay request and deny certiorari. If the Eleventh loses its mind in the Florida case (assuming Cannon rules quickly) and conflicts with the DC Circuit, then they’d have to get their hands dirty.
#Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who resisted intense pressure from #Trump to overturn the 2020 election results in his state, revealed Tuesday that he has been interviewed by special counsel #JackSmith’s office.
Totally disqualifying for her. Think of all the time #Jan6Committee, #Muller, #JackSmith, etc, has invested. The $$$ spent on lawyers and investigations. And FINALLY, the accountability that’s finally being brought for all the people who demand it. And she’s promising to just wipe this all away!!!! Regardless of what she says she’ll do as President, she’s still whimpering for #DonTheCon’s approval. #DISQUALIFICATION#USAwithoutGOP
BREAKING: #JackSmith has filed his opposition to trump's application for a stay with #SCOTUS over the immunity issue. As predicted, DoJ says trump FAILS to meet the standards for issuing a stay, nor can he overcome the public's interest in a speedy resolution. #legal#TrumpIndictment 1/...
Trump says people didn’t see the classified documents he had his in possession because they were locked up and he had secret service because he was ‘president all the time’
@Aviva_Gary You’re not hearing me. He’s ALREADY been fined, ALREADY been found liable for rape. ALREADY a defendant facing 91 counts. That can’t be changed, Those ARE consequences.
I said nothing about what the outcomes would be or if he somehow evades trial.
Special counsel’s office is pleading with Judge #Cannon to reverse to recent unsealing decisions they say would identify two dozen witnesses an expose them to threats.
They say Cannon’s rulings were “clear error” — defying 11th circuit precedent — and would cause ‘manifest injustice’
Trump wants those witness names BAAAAD!
They would start getting threats post haste. Not just phone and email. Remember Stormy Daniels report of her daughter and her being accosted in a parking lot?
After #Trump moved to extend pre-trial deadlines in the classified #documents case, #JackSmith files a scathing response.
The defendants “will stop at nothing to stall the adjudication of the charges against them by a fair and impartial jury of citizens,” the special counsel writes. #legal#TrumpIndictment
@GottaLaff. DOJ delayed by not even starting an investigation for a year+ and then taking another 9 months to appoint special counsel who chose a defendant friendly venue. (This shouldn’t be in FL. DC has original jurisdiction over classified docs & is more experienced) Then they took the max time to reply to all the delay tactics. Then they went to THE SUPREMES for expedition 😂 Jack had all kinds of statutes available with mandatory jail time and indicted on none of the above. The list goes on.
NEWS - #JackSmith questioned witnesses about 2 rms FBI didn't search at Mar-a-Lago —1 was “hidden room” inside #Trump’s bedrm. The other, a locked closet w a curiously timed lock change inside his residence
