This is like watching brockian ultra-cricket.
If I want uninformative speculation I will go visit my in-laws.
Let me guess “The People v. Donald Trump Jr.” with special guest appearance by Roger “Nixon’s asshole is sure tasty” Stone…
Rule Six: The winning team shall be the first team that wins.
there’s a publicly viewable docket for it at the appeals court level, though none of the individual filings are accessible to the public and there’s no indication who the parties are.
One hint that it may be a Mueller-related issue that Politico picked up on
Just to be clear - but not sure, is this journo ‘fake news’ or Trump ‘fake news’?
Huh? Since when does anyone from opposing counsel need to physically go to the court clerk to get a copy of a filing? Even if they didn’t get served a copy by email, or don’t have a special FTP site for parties, or can’t pull it off of PACER, they would still have to be served a hard copy.
Maybe they need an actual stamped copy from the clerk’s office? That’s how things were when i worked for a law office while in college. But, that was also before Al Gore invented the internet…
There was a campaign that was doomed before it began.
The press almost did not need the Supreme Court’s intervention.
That was Gore’s fault for getting involved with those Icky Clintons! Everyone knows they are just the worst!
It’s Politico, but it’s admittedly speculation so I have no problem with it.
On the other side, no leaks so far. I think a lot of people don’t appreciate how difficult this is to achieve.
Droll, but you may be closer to the truth than you want to be!
in a parallel universe where votes were actually counted…
Or I’ve read too many blogs since 2000.
Folks, this isn’t news. None of the traditional newsy questions like who, what, when, where, and how are addressed in the story. It is just a lead that might help a reporter dig up news. In a sense this is just Politico patting itself on the back for having a reporter in the clerk’s office at the right time to see a lawyer ask for a sealed document.
Even today every so often a lawyer will still go the clerk’s office with the justification that they need a document and she or he was just in the courthouse. Mostly they go to the clerk’s office to chat with the clerks. It is a smart lawyer who cultivates good relationships with all of the clerks of the court where he works.
Here’s the REAL gem in the story:
“…Before his appointment to the court, Katsas was a deputy White House counsel for President Trump…”
Mitch McConnell is packing the federal bench with ‘judges’ like this. Many, MANY pushed thru by Mitch “Let The People Speak” McConnell. Do you need any other reason to vote?
If your state has mail-in ballots get yours in and offer to help friends, relatives and neighbors get their ballot completed and mailed in time.
Volunteer at a phone bank to get out the vote, or, even better, tell your local party you’ll doorbell. NOTHING beats meeting voters face-to-face and there are a few days left in the campaign. Nothing else comes close to opening people’s minds like direct contact and conversation. Nothing can change a Trump supporter’s views of Democrats like a Dem offering to take a MAGA voter to the polls.
On election day, November 6th, get to the polls. Take 4-5 people with you.
Get to the polls and vote like your life depended on it!
Mitch McConnell, because Schumer and the Democrats are spineless, is the most powerful man in America - he obstructed the spineless Obama and now he is loading the courts with white right wing Republicans who will never rule against Trump or his white nationalist movement.
McConnell is more racist than Trump…and McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao is not just a racist but a key reason her family’s Taiwanese shipping business has a monopoly stranglehold on Taiwan’s shipping activities with the US. The Chao’s are a Taiwanese Oligarchy family worth billions…and McConnell is key to preserving their control of our shipping activity. This is another reason why McConnell is go along with Trump’s trade war with mainland China.
So Mueller is using a secret grand jury, and someone is contesting being called to testify in this secret grand jury secretly.
What a surprise!
Is this being published to just fill a space?
