Merrick Garland Not Doing the Job

BabyBoomer50s said:
Your wish will not come true. Sleepy Joe lacks the energy and mental fitness to do anything, and his AG is not the sharpest knife in the drawer either. He has nothing to charge Mr. Trump with, and that is why the former POTUS is living well in state income tax-free Florida enjoying his freedom and playing golf on some magnificent courses.

legal experts on the DOJ being able to overcome any of cipollone's lawyers' privilege arguments
While the Supreme Court has said former presidents have some authority to assert executive privilege, some legal scholars say such an assertion would stand little chance of shielding information sought in a criminal investigation.

Jonathan David Shaub, a law professor at the University of Kentucky and a former attorney with the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, said he believes any assertions of privilege from Trump or Cipollone before the grand jury would be “frivolous” and federal prosecutors would be able to move quickly to force compliance.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) “has a much more effective and quick enforcement mechanism to go to the district court and have these claims of privilege adjudicated and almost for sure rejected,” Shaub said.

“My guess is given how tenuous his claims of privilege are that we’re not going to hear much else, that he’s going to enter into negotiation and ultimately get the best he can from DOJ and then comply, because he doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on,” he added.

1974, SCOTUS, relating to Watergate:
Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote in the decision, “The generalized assertion of privilege must yield to the demonstrated, specific need for evidence in a pending criminal trial.”
 
there was a reason trump so desperately packed SCOTUS
it was always, always, all about him
 
Merrick Garland has applied to have TFG's warrant and receipts from the MAL raid unsealed because of the rights disinformation and lies.
I cannot recall this happening before if it has please enlighten me.
 
It won't matter. They'll still find a way to gripe about it no matter how incriminating it is.

I've already seen people saying it isn't possible for him to have classified information since he could simply de-classify it at will.

the judge who signed the warrant ordered Garland to file to unseal
 
Yes, but there's a caveat that allows the subject to object to the release. Will Donny object?

Of course he’ll object. Joe Scarborough said that he should release it, so he won’t.
 
Merrick Garland... the ninja :D

"He's probably having a very difficult time processing this because, you know, Donald is a coward and a bully," Dr. Trump, who is a psychologist, told host Ari Melber. "He only attacks if he believes there will be no counterattack. He's been tripped up by two things here. As Neal said earlier, Garland is playing chess. Donald can only play checkers. So, he's being outmaneuvered. He's also gotten tripped up. It never occurred to Donald that somebody who looks like Merrick Garland and talks like Merrick Garland is actually a ninja."

A receipt accompanying the search warrant, viewed by POLITICO on Friday, shows that Trump possessed documents including a handwritten note; documents marked with “TS/SCI,” which indicate one of the highest levels of government classification; and another item labeled “Info re: President of France.”

The warrant shows federal law enforcement was investigating Trump for removal or destruction of records, obstruction of an investigation, and violating the Espionage Act. Conviction under the statutes can result in imprisonment or fines.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg suggested that there was no way that the Department of Justice would have sent FBI agents to search Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort unless they already "had the goods" on him.

Speaking with co-host Mika Brzezinski said he owed an apology to Attorney General Merrick Garland based on the turn of events this past week as the DOJ closes in on the former president.

"Mika, we now know why the Department of Justice didn't just issue a subpoena, it's because they already did issue a subpoena. They did months ago," he began. "Kudos to the DOJ for keeping all this stuff a secret, you don't see that very much and they did, which shows you this is not a political witch hunt. They didn't reveal any of this stuff in advance."

Documents accompanying the search warrant showed that investigators were hunting for "illegally possessed" items including "any physical documents with classification markings" and "any government and/or Presidential Records" from Trump's time in office, in addition to any evidence of the "knowing alteration, destruction or concealment of any government and/or Presidential records, or of any documents with any classification markings."

In a statement, Trump said everything he had "was all declassified."

Whether a document has been declassified or not is readily available. First, there's a paper trail existent on that being done. It isn't done by a president flicking a magic wand. And, second, it's marked right there on the document itself. The answer of whether the seized documents have been declassified or not is readily available. The fact here is that they weren't, that Trump and his minions are lying, and that, legally, unless Trump is held above the law, his ass is screwed.
 
former federal prosecutor Kirschner:
Guess, what Kevin?" he continued. "Attorney General Merrick Garland and everybody at the Department of Justice preserves their documents every day. It is what I did for decades inside of the Department of Justice."

"Do you know who does not preserve documents?" he continued. "Donald Trump and his criminal associates. Instead, they steal -- and let's call it what it is -- they steal documents from the White House because none of these documents, setting classification aside, should have been taken from the White House and whisked away to Mar-a-Lago. They should have been sent over to the National Archives, be cataloged and held."
Kevin McCarthy has nothing left but hollow threats, political thuggery and he has been on the wrong side of every argument since a couple of days after Jan. 6 six when he had a spasm of candor and good judgment. and said Donald Trump is responsible," he concluded.

what we're likely to see in the next few weeks:

  • near silence from the DOJ as meticulous investigations take place
  • documents are assessed by agencies involved as to how much damage has already been done
  • a lot of clatter from the trumpsters demanding to see the affidavit...which doesn't get released until an indictment happens so all hot air
  • a lot of speculation from both sides...the laws of attraction, a vacuum needs filling
  • a lot of dissatisfaction with Merrick G and the DOJ for not immediately arresting trump
  • a lot of trumpies claiming 'victory' over 'empty, politically-driven "raid"'
 
And what we should see is some Republicans finally reading the screaming red writing on the wall and doing a U-turn to start trying not to look like idiots.

McConnel, for instance, who clearly has wanted Trump six feet under for years. He could survive the total reworking of dumping Trump and looking for others who are half-way viable. This is one of those watershed moments when any Republican could say that this was a crime too far for them.
 
^^^ But they won't. They'll double down and circle the wagons. The Greene thing already is trying to get rid of MerriG. If they take the House, that will progress.

If they manage to take the Senate too, Joe will be out and they'll manipulate a way to decline to elevate Kam and install the Orange Demon, even if they have to make new law to do it.
 
it's thought the t-team released the warrant to breitbart who then published it without redacting the 2 fbi agents' names... in effect, setting them up for threats and abuse from the magats

Perez argued that the fact the names of two FBI agents were not redacted from the warrant Breitbart published - but were redacted from the version released later that day - showed the document had come from Trump's team.

CNN Tonight host Laura Coates highlighted threats made against the agents and asked: "First of all, why do people know the names of those two agents? Because it was supposed to have been redacted."

"It was redacted," Perez said. "It was redacted by the court when the document was released."

"However, before it was released by the court, before it was officially released someone – I think we know who – managed to get it to right wing news organizations, and at least one of them published a document in total, including the names of those federal agents who were simply doing their job," he said.

"Jon Sale, a prominent Florida defense attorney who had been part of the Watergate prosecutorial team, confirmed he was asked this week to represent Trump — and declined. He called the request a 'privilege' but said that because of 'other professional commitments,' he did not have the time to provide the kind of lawyering he believed Trump will need."

I am sure that others will note the irony that McConnel's very obvious political ambition to get rid of Trump depends entirely on the actions of a man McConnel disgracefully blocked from consideration for the Supreme Court. If Garland finishes Trump though, I somehow doubt that he will get a thank you note from McConnel.

McConnel is the only rival to Trump for his destruction of US institutional norms.
