They pass the debt ceiling and move on. The time to "negotiate" is during the budget, not about whether to pay the bills that congress already authorized. Let the republicans run on their budget and have an election over what they want to cut. If the republicans never increased the national debt by 25% during the Trump administration, people might take them seriously. If congress authorized the spending, then they should pay the bills and not crash the economy as a political stunt.

and what about 2019 when Congress simply suspended the debt ceiling, allowing the disaster-in-chief to rack up over $6 trillion in new debt?

Fearing indictment is imminent in classified docs probe, Trump team requests meeting with DOJ

Panic Time :bigjoint:

Lawers go groveling to Garland …..

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has formally requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland, amid fears from his attorneys that the coming weeks could bring a possible indictment of Trump regarding his alleged efforts to retain materials after leaving office and to obstruct the government's attempts to retrieve them.

The letter, though thin on details, presents arguments that Trump should not be charged in the investigation related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

The letter asks Garland for a meeting at his earliest convenience to discuss what the attorneys describe as the "ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated" by special counsel Jack Smith and says that no president has been "baselessly investigated" in such an "unlawful fashion."


The one-page letter was signed by Trump lawyers John Rowley and James Trusty, and does not outline any specific allegations of wrongdoing by Smith and his team.

The request does not specifically detail what Trump's legal team wants to discuss with the attorney general. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing associated with his handling of materials bearing classification markings.

It's not clear whether Trump's attorneys are acting on any specific knowledge of Smith's investigation.

Trump posted the letter on his Truth Social account Tuesday night.
