In her ruling earlier, Judge “I Loose Cannon” ruled, in effect, He says those documents are his, and that’s good enough for me.
Experience suggests that these people never “learn”, unless it’s how to cheat more effectively. Sure, the former guy is now indicted, but expect it to get ugly, with innumerable inconscienciable delays and bizarro “rulings.”
Oh, and Slate has a good discussion of how Cannon might be removed:
Finally, way to ruin a good cat photo!

The difference between me and Trump is there are no top secret documents in my bathroom. I just double-checked. So, “they” are after Trump but they won’t come after me.

I do expect TRUMP to pull out all the stops. He has called this “the final battle,” and he may be right: this espionage trial poses the greatest peril he’s ever faced, and it may be the only thing over which he has no control and which could stop him from taking the GOP’s place in the White House and making himself king.
We know that’s what he wants, we know it’s what the MAGA crowd wants, we know it’s what the GOP wants, and we know the Roberts Court will permit it because it doesn’t interfere with rich people selling out poor people. Our political system is geared for it, since ours is a two-party system. Structurally, it’s his to lose. (Which, yes, is an indictment of our money-soaked political system.)
That’s why TRUMP is calling for Smith’s wife to be assassinated. TRUMP really thinks this case could break (or make) his dream of being king come true, and he’s probably right, and so he’s as desperate and motivated as anyone could ever be. TRUMP will fight to the death.
So, I do expect TRUMP to use all his life lines, and one of those probably is “MAGA mob violence,” but I also think the J6 prosecutions have chilled the vigilante crowd and so the only help TRUMP will get is from serious, organized actors whose meddling will be targeted and not clumsy the way J6 was.
- I expect assassination attempts, as already stated.
- I expect world-class hacking attempts against DOJ, Smithworld, and the entire trial cast (including the judge) from foreigners friendly to TRUMP or hostile to the US.
- I expect lots of working the refs, particularly since one ref (Judge Cannon) wants to be worked.
- I expect witness tampering.
- I expect jury tampering.
- I expect attempts to poison the jury pool.

DJT and his minions and supporters represent a thugocracy.

This is performative bullshit and jackanapes like Lake and Higgins will babble much but do nothing. After January 6 and the clear message that doing something along these lines gets you prosecution and jail time, the real danger is and remains a Tim McVeigh clone; JMO

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Was Higgins in the military, or does he just throw around fake military-speak to engorge the other cosplayers?

Ms Lake would do well to consider that liberals are not all unarmed pansies.

Clay Higgins should be arrested for incitement. He is a cowardly little *k. If all hell breaks out tomorrow he will INSIST DAMMIT that he was just exercising his ‘free speech’ and he didn’t MEAN anything.

I bet Kari Lake thinks that was a boffo script and a boffo performance.
And it was. In its way.
She reminds me of Alan Cumming in CABARET.
