Judge Rules Against Trump BUT Appellate Court Temporarily Blocks Release of Documents. What's Next?
After Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled against Donald Trump's claim of executive privilege and ordered the release of documents from the National Archives to the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack, Donald Trump appealed. Now, the appellate court has temporarily stopped the documents from being released and set an expedited hearing for November 30.
There has been much darkness on the justice front in recent years. However, there is some justice light amidst the darkness. Notwithstanding the appellate court's temporary stay of production of the documents, the way the courts have been handling this round of Trump litigation gives reason for hope, as this video explains.
Moreover, with the recent indictment of Steve Bannon for two contempt of Congress crimes, it's beginning to feel like justice may be making a comeback.

that does not seem very painful to me...i'd have given them a lot longer sentence, and a 50k fine, each...if they can't pay it off, they could just sit in jail and get paid for picking up cans on the side of the road...

They will crowd fund the fines away, unless Donald steals all the money first. Donald is vacuuming up all the small dollar donations and GOP house candidates might be hard pressed come election season. It seems though that hate and fear work better than money, common sense or the truth with many Americans. Anybody with eyes and a fucking brain knows what these assholes are, what jerks their chain and what they really want.

that's a good point...the more trump gets, the less the republican party gets...hope they continue to pour dollars down upon trump, who can use them for a defense fund, because he's going to need it...and still go to jail

Why Mark Meadows Must Now be Indicted for Contempt of Congress (just as happened to Steve Bannon)
On the exact same day Steve Bannon was criminally indicted for contempt of Congress, Mark Meadows refused to appear in violation of a congressional subpoena, thereby committing the crime of . . . contempt of Congress. Congress must now vote to hold Meadows in contempt and refer him for prosecution.
This video reviews the way subpoenas work, how one goes about LAWFULLY asserting a privilege (spoiler alert - not by flat out refusing to appear), and why Meadows' attorney's claim that "the matter of executive privilege must be litigated in court" is NOT how it works.
Accordingly, just as was the case with Bannon, we are now on Mark Meadows Indictment Watch.

Trump ally Steve Bannon surrenders on contempt charges over Jan. 6 Capitol riot probe
Each count of contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000.
Appearing outside the FBI’s Washington field office before turning himself in, Bannon claimed he and his allies were “taking down the Biden regime.”
“I want you guys to stay focused, stay on message,” Bannon said in remarks being livestreamed to a right-wing social media platform.
In 2018, Trump trashed Bannon as “sloppy Steve” and mocked him for being “dumped like a dog by almost everyone” after his departure. But Bannon, who hosts a pro-Trump news show, apparently regained the former president’s respect in time to receive a pardon just before Trump left office in January. Bannon had been arrested on charges of allegedly misleading donors about a supposed effort to privately fund construction of a wall on the border with Mexico.
In a statement Sunday, Trump claimed, “This Country has perhaps never done to anyone what they have done to Steve Bannon and they are looking to do it to others, also.”

Trump urges court to overturn 'rubber stamp' of Jan. 6 committee
Lawyers for former President Trump on Tuesday asked an appeals court to overturn a judge's ruling that would allow the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to hand over hundreds of pages of White House records to the House Jan. 6 Select Committee.
In a brief filed with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Trump's legal team argued that the ruling from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is essentially a "rubber stamp" for the committee and would upend the balance of powers between the executive and legislative branches.
"The stakes in this case are high," the filing reads. "A decision upholding the Committees’ request to NARA would have enormous consequences, forever changing the dynamics between the political branches. It is naïve to assume that the fallout will be limited to President Trump or the events of January 6, 2021. Every Congress will point to some unprecedented thing about 'this President' to justify a request for his presidential records.
"In these hyper-partisan times, Congress will increasingly and inevitably use this new weapon to perpetually harass its political rival."
Trump quickly appealed after Chutkan ruled in favor of the committee last week, and secured a temporary injunction from the D.C. Circuit just a day before NARA was set to begin handing over records to the committee.
Trump's lawyers have argued that the records request is impermissibly broad and the Biden administration's refusal to honor the former president's assertions of executive privilege infringes on his constitutional rights.
"If the Committee’s request is upheld, there would be no limitation on the presidential records Congress could review," they wrote in the filing.
"Adopting the district court’s novel rule would allow Congress to give itself the power to investigate and undermine the authority of both the Executive Branch and Judicial Branch of the federal government," Trump's lawyers added. "This would upend any notion of separate and co-equal branches of government.

He is the mascot and symbol of the insurrection new republican party, a bunch of fucking lunatics and psychos. He should be doing his time in a nut house, but when ya look at it, he did them way more harm than good as the face of chaos and anarchy. They all have to wear the horns now.
