The Justice Department was dealt a setback in court on Tuesday because of a statement and tweets issued by President Trump about declassifying a surveillance warrant for his former campaign associate.
the Justice Department could continue claim that the material was still classified and therefore not covered under the Freedom of Information Act
That was then… this is now
Left to his own devices, Trump couldn’t organize a one-car funeral procession.
It’s gonna be just fantastic when the SC eventually decides that an administration’s public statements don’t matter, only the court filings, and only to the case in particular. I hope the decision will have a catchy name like “Citizens United” did.

Dump seems determined to talk himself into a corner. Talk on, dickhead, talk on!
“[F]or reasons of transparency.” Those words turn any statement by this administration into a joke.
Ok, so is this an official acknowledgment that when the President opens his yap on Twitter about official business that the tweets can be used as evidence against him?
Sounds like it, doesn’t it?
Just imagine if Trump was actually a competent would-be dictator. I shudder to think about it.
Moral of the Story: The blatherings of a blabbermouth buffoon have consequences.
His tweets have already been determined to be official statements. The White House said so early on and the courts have confirmed it — thus why Donnie isn’t allowed to block people on his twitter account.
My imagination is extraordinary, but it is not limitless.
Trump’s personal Deep State would be Ratcliffe, if the Senate approves him. Mitch isn’t sold on Ratcliffe yet. but he could be useful tipping off Trump and McConnell when the investigations further connect them to Russia.
Also applies to his base. Law enforcement is only catching the dumb ones.
Silly Judge Mehta, suggesting that Drumpf’s tweets are meaningful, indicative or inferential in any way just flies in the face of the principle of stare decisis. The Supremes have already determined in Decent World vs Hair Furher, the Drumpf’s tweets regarding Muslims are simply not germane to his actions regarding the Muslim ban. Ipso factco deus machina e pluribus unum you simply can’t take ANY of Drumpf’s tweets or statements re Messr page into consideration. Moving on.
This provides crystal clarity then to the dumb ox that he is convicting himself. Now it’s officially made it into a judicial statement. Precedent.
Love it!
Cover-Up General Barr can’t seem to cover up fast enough Loose-Lips Traitor-in-chief’s senseless tweets!
The ridiculousness of DOJ under Cover-Up General Barr’s arguments does NOT pass muster as a simple logic let alone as legal argument!
It’s time for the American Bar Association to remind their members that they are demeaning and diminishing their profession by defending the indefensible and NOT defending liberty and delivering justice as stated in their website!
“Citizens Informed” has a nice 1984ish ring to it.
Future tweet:
Judge Ahmit Mehta should go Back to where he came frome. His courtroom is filthy and full of Rats.
