I thought it was a fair comment. Sure, judges don’t normally propose orders for others to send their way, but there is no reason to think this judge wouldn’t. Suppose it worked and her tactic delayed things enough that charges are never brought and El Schmucko winds up getting that second term after all. That puts Cannon on the Supreme Court. There is no use to trying to find the bottom to the GOP barrel, there is none. All customs and traditions are sacred when the Democrats are in power and to be ignored when Republicans get a chance to do so.
FBI Search and Seizure at Trump's Mar-A-Lago Residence, August 8, 2022, Case Dismissed July 15, 2024

This thread is to discuss the FBI search and seizure at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. I’ve moved posts discussing Trump’s wish to terminate the Constition to a new thread, here:
Please make sure what you’re posting is to a relevant thread. Thanks.
So many dumpster fires…
It is hard to keep them all straight, for sure.
" Attorneys for Donald Trump discovered two classified items among materials retrieved from a Florida storage unit rented for the former president, the Washington Post reports.
Trump hired an outside firm to search his properties for any classified items, in order to comply with a federal grand jury subpoena issued in May. The former president is under investigation for unlawfully retaining secret material after leaving the White House last year, which led to the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago property in August.
Besides the storage unit in West Palm Beach, Florida housing materials that had been moved from a northern Virginia office after his presidency, the outside firm also searched Trump-owned golf course in New Jersey and Trump Tower in New York."
In the end, you just know that Dave Hastert from Storage Wars is going to make a million dollars by bidding on some stupid storage locker which contains 300 more of Donald Trump’s stolen Top Secret files.
I’d rather watch the Salvage Kings crew strip and demolish Mar-a-Largo though I doubt they’d find much.
Is Storage Wars still running? checks wikipedia Wow, that’s a lot of seasons. I haven’t watched it in a decade!
Like many “reality” TV nowadays, it is mostly fake. I used to like Pawn Stars, but geez.
I just assumed most reality TV was always fake, even many years ago.
I’ve got a buddy who is an expert on reality pawn shows. You mind if I give him a call?
I thought Trump’s lawyers didn’t even do the paperwork correctly, but Cannon helpfully pointed that out and granted the rulings they wanted anyway.
Can he find more Trump files?
As posted earlier, here is the Motion filed by Trump’s lawyers which started the process in front of Judge Cannon, in which they specifically asked for the appointment of a special master:
The opening lines of the Motion state:
President Donald J. Trump (“movant”), through his undersigned counsel, respectfully files this Motion For Judicial Oversight And Additional Relief, which seeks an Order that: (a) appoints a Special Master;
They repeat that conclusion on p. 21 of the Motion.
The entire document makes the argument for a Special Master, arguing that the FBI taint team is not sufficient to protect the confidences of a former President.
I’ve not found anything about the Judge suggesting the form of the order?
Returning to the report of further classified documents being found, I know I shouldn’t be surprised but… Trump hired a firm to search his own properties to see if he had - uh - misplaced anything?
That doesn’t exactly inspire great confidence in the control of classified documents.

And responding to Treppenwitz’s point, and that of many (most?) of the posters in this thread, if he HAD JUST DONE THAT WHEN ASKED he would likely have dodged all of the legal headaches from this.
I was more under the impression that his lawyers, sick and tired of being caught flat-footed, hired the outside firm.
Wait a minute. Trump and his lawyers go apeshit about the FBI taking stuff that was so secret they had to bring in special people with the right clearances to even begin to examine it and then they go and hire an outside firm with no clearances whatsoever to go look for more docs??
(Sound of heads exploding all over the Intelligence community)
