Judge Cannon’s ruling was to buy Trump time to delay the DOJ investigation. It worked.

not really... not much, at least... it blocked the examination of like 200 out of 10,000 pages (or documents)... they were trucking on with 99% of the case this whole time, as I understand it. Yes, it did cause some degree of delay, but not what he wanted (which was for it to last beyond 2024 campaign timeframe)

...We'll see if Garland's special prosecutor really has the stomach for it.

Former president Donald Trump’s political action committee is paying legal bills for some key witnesses involved in the Justice Department investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents, obstructed the investigation or destroyed government records, according to people familiar with the matter.

The witnesses include Kash Patel, who has testified in front of the grand jury and is key to Trump’s defense, along with Walt Nauta, a potentially critical prosecution witness, according to these people, who like others interviewed spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing criminal probe. Nauta, a Trump valet, has told FBI agents he was instructed by the former president to move boxes at Mar-a-Lago, even as government investigators were trying to recover classified documents at that private club and residence, according to people familiar with the matter.

Both Patel and Nauta are represented by Brand Woodward Law, which according to public records has been paid more than $120,000 by Trump’s Save America PAC. Stan Brand, the top lawyer at the firm, said there is nothing improper about the PAC paying legal bills for witnesses in the investigation. Another lawyer not involved in the case, however, said it could encourage witnesses to not cooperate.

Trump's own lawyers have hired a search team. I have not read the full story yet.

ETA in NYT, apparently a federal judge ordered Trump's legal team to hire the search.

Classified Documents Found in Trump Search of Storage Site

The discovery came as series of searches were conducted by a team hired by the former president, after a federal judge directed his lawyers to look for any materials still in his possession.

More classified documents found in a Florida storage unit.

The stunning revelation of more classified documents being found, even after a Trump attorney attested in June they had been told by the ex-president there were no more classified documents, comes after Trump's attorneys hired a third party to search four of his properties for classified documents.
The Washington Post, which first reported on the additional classified documents, adds, "emails show that GSA [the federal General Services Administration] and Trump staffers worked together to arrange to ship several pallets of boxes and other items weighing more than 3,000 pounds from Northern Virginia to the Florida storage unit in September 2021."

The federal judge who appointed Trump's special master just threw out his lawsuit against the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago

A federal appeals court had written a scathing decision overturning the judge's initial decision to side with Trump in the case over the FBI's search.
www.businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com
A US federal judge in Florida who appointed the special master for former President Donald Trump just tossed his lawsuit against the FBI's raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in a Monday one-page order that she was dismissing the case because of a "lack of jurisdiction."

The ruling comes after a three-judge federal appeals court on December 1 wrote a scathing opinion overturning Cannon's initial decision to side with Trump and grant him a special master to review documents taken in the FBI's search. Less than week later, a federal appeals court in Atlanta formally ended the review.

Trump's team had the option to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, but didn't do so.

After having watched Ari Melber's The Beat today on MSNBC, I don't believe there will ever be charges laid against Trump himself.

I will be glad to be proven wrong.
 
Seems Brandon has some classified he shouldn’t have;


The ten files were found in early November, by Biden's lawyers, and handed over. The Justice Department has now opened an investigation, which The New York Times said could lead to a special counsel being appointed - as has happened in the case of Donald Trump and the hundreds of documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago.
