This should be headline news, but it isn't for some reason, but it is probably the death nell for the Magats..

A lot of people in Trump's echelon make money by doing criminal things, but Trump has found a way to make money by getting CAUGHT doing criminal things...it's just brilliant.

He gets investigated and asks for money. He doesn't pay his lawyers or actually spend much of anything on defense, and if he actually gets fined for this he's just going to tell his followers to send him more money so he can pay it off (if he even bothers to do that) with some extra profit to take home.

This guy's ability to shake down the "fiscally conservative" among us is just...bravo.  He's like every Nigerian internet scheme out there taking every last dime from dumbass white people rolled into one.

BREAKING: Appeals Court panel *grants* DOJ request for a stay of parts of Judge Cannon’s ruling.
"[Trump] has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents.
Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents."

The unanimous three judge panel:

Andrew Brasher: Trump appointee
Britt Grant: Trump appointee
Robin Rosenbaum, Obama appointee

politico.com/f/?id=00000183…
The panel delivered a pointed critique of Cannon's reasoning, describing it as "self-evident" that DOJ must review the potential disclosure of national security secrets to prevent harm to the public. politico.com/f/?id=00000183…
The panel also rejects Trump's claim that he mau have declassified some of the documents, saying that he's presented zero evidence to support it.

In fact, the panel doesn't event entertain it, repeatedly calling the documents unequivocally classified. politico.com/f/?id=00000183…
The thrust of the ruling: politico.com/f/?id=00000183…
The panel also agreed that disclosing the classified records to the special master would simolarly harm the government. politico.com/f/?id=00000183…
MORE: The three-judge panel — two appointed by Trump and one by Obama — concluded that Cannon like abused her discretion in the way she barred DOJ from accessing classified documents.



Appeals panel, in a very "we can't beleive this needs to be said but..." tone:

"Classified documents are
marked to show they are classified."



MORE: The appeals panel calls the issue of declassification a "red herring," noting that even if true, Trump would still have no personal interest in retaining the records. politico.com/news/2022/09/2…

Appeals panel also rejected Trump's claim that the appointment of a special master was unappealable, since it was intertwined with the obviously appealable decision to enjoin the criminal investigation.

By the end of this clip, Trump almost completely decomposes.

If you saw someone on a sidewalk talking this way, you’d put your phone to your ear, stare at the ground and cross the street as fast as possible.
