The chief judge of D.C.’s federal court ordered the Justice Department on Friday to turn over to the House the portions of the special counsel Robert Mueller’s report that were redacted due to grand jury secrecy as well as those sections’ underlying grand jury transcripts or exhibits.
Ah, a little Friday schadenfreude for the weary!
Judge only gave them five days? That’s pretty quick. I presume instant appeal and request for a stay?
Great! When’s the appeal…
This is shaping up to be quite the Impeachment Friday.
Don’t get too excited. This will be appealed to the DC Circuit. That will, on a fast track basis, take at least two months. And then on to the Supreme Court.
What Congress needs to do is once Trump appeals ask the Supreme Court to take the case immediately … but I would expect that any decision will come down on the last day of their term, June 30.
So have we reached the event horizon on this sordid episode yet? Can this be appealed further? If so, can it be expedited?
Okay, questions answered already.
Guess there’s no doubt which side of the bed Donnieboy woke up on this morning…
I wonder how long it’ll take to find an unredacted one.
DOJ emergency appeal and request to stay the decision to the SCOTUS in 3…2…1…
and accepted by one of Trump’s “My Judges” almost immediately upon filing.
Glad I stocked up on popcorn earlier this week.
Just another Friday. And another court loss for the obstructionist Trumpsters. They’re starting to add up.
To all the Trump Humpers out there:
Cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no good
Now cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no good
When the levee breaks mama you got to move
More than one levee is crumbling. Watch out you don’t get lost in the flood.
Considering it’s a Friday, it’s really only 2 days.
…about as long as it takes Billy Barr’s ‘Justice’ Department to locate all copies, delete the offending pieces, and fill in the blanks with their own prose.
It pains me to be so cynical, but circumstances demand it.
Look! Up the hill! Is that a big snowball rolling faster and faster? And, gosh, look at all the animal shit it’s picking up.
Even as we speak, Matt Gaetz and his Derp Brigade are storming the DC District Court.
(“Shut it down! Shut it – hey, is that pepperoni?”)
Good question. I am quite sure there are at least a few dozen different redacted versions. Did they leave any clean one for use as an original?
To all you fellow drinkers out there: “Cheers!”
To all you non-drinkers: “Cheers!”
To the former reality TV show host: “Enjoy your weekend, dickhead.”
Bar’s open! Cocktail hour begins in 3 minutes!
ETA: Cocktail hour has been extended by an additional 6 hours - for latecomers and for the very serious celebrants.
Court losses for team tRump are beginning to add up to a real good shit-kicking.
Breathe, inhale, deep breath, exhale…miles to go before we sleep.
