This is the 1st of many federal court judge rulings rejecting the specious attempts of Trump to escape oversight. No one is above the law. More to come.

FAKE judge issues a FAKE ruling citing FAKE law!!!1!!2!!

I just wish he had found some other FAKE law which says that the Traitor-in-Chief should get thrown into irons until Rep Cummings gets all the info he requested.

Must be because the judge isnt a real american… or something. Yah know, judging by his name and all.

YES!!!

Team Trump will surely appeal, but we can still take our small victories where we find 'em!

OK. What’s the next step in this process? Trump’s going to appeal the ruling? Will this inevitably end up in front of the Supreme Court? Legal types… please game this out for us!

Mehta adds that Trump “echo[es] the protests of President Buchanan,” and goes on to rule in favor of upholding the subpoena.

Oh yeah baby. This is gonna echo.

Yup, but the Judge isn’t budging.

Ouch. When the judge is comparing you to James Buchanan, life is not good.

I do not know Roberts personally, but he can stop the Trump/Chump train very soon if he somehow gets word to Trump that:

Trump making the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court his personal slave is not in his gameplan.

The judge denied a stay pending appeal.

THAT is where the smackdown lies.

Nobody expected this case to go for Trump. But no “stay pending appeal”? That’s nasty

And a terrible posthumous denigration of James Buchanan.

Score one for truth and justice (and hoping to bring down this criminal).

You got THAT right, My Friend.

If nothing else, kudos to this jurist for working in a James Buchanan reference. Yowee!

yes it can be appealled.

But the judge declined to issue a stay pending appeal. Which is very significant… Right now, Trump lawyers are running to the Appeals Court, trying to find a judge who will issue an emergency stay.

ON EDIT

After reading more of the opinion, its clear that an emergency stay is not necessary — “the parties” reached an agreement that allowed seven days between this decision coming down, and Mazar’s producing the documents. So Trump has a week to get his stay.

But its still a smackdown

sooo. … what happens when dotard ignores this decision.

update: watching cnn … and the point was made that these docs are held by the accounting firm, so out of dotard’s hands. will they want to risk disobeying a judicial order?
