No American President in 60 years has accomplished as much in their first two years as @POTUS as @JoeBiden has.

It’s time we all start acknowledging that Joe Biden has not been a good President, he has been a great President.

If this was NOT fantastically big news, we’d all know by now why #Trump is in #DC .

It’s been hrs & hrs.

Big news is never kept this successfully quiet anymore.

This IS BIG.

Dear #MerrickGarland or grim reaper, please come thru for us.

[Chris Barron @thechrisbarron]

I can’t get off Twitter because I’m waiting around hoping something will break about WHY TRUMP IS IN DC!!!

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Okay, fine. I admit that I have NO idea why Trump is in DC tonight.

Department of Justice (DOJ)
@DOJPH The judge that allowed CITIZEN Trump to appoint a special master is obviously uneducated or corrupt. #LockTrumpUp to save our democracy. We, THE PEOPLE demand it. If it were one of us, we'd be in prison by now!!!!

9. Her jurisdictional analysis is similarly awful. She let Trump forum shop for a judge, instead of letting the magistrate judge evaluate these claims. The appearances here are tragic.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

8. Her analysis of standing is terrible. Trump wouldn’t own these docs anyway, so why does he get a Master over them? If there is some marginal claim to some attorney client docs, that handful of material can be separately dealt with–you don’t enjoin the entire investig for that

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

7. She says Trump suffers irreparable harm in interim, but the only harm she isolates is he won’t have the docs back during the investig. That’s not irreparable, he can get them back later &if they are improperly used to bring an indictment, he can move to dismiss the indictment

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

6. She tries to enjoin the Exec Branch from using these materials in an investigation, but the govt has already reviewed all the materials. It makes no sense.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

5. She says that because some tiny percentage of materials might be privileged, the entire investigation over all the materials has to stop. That’s a bazooka when one needs at most a scalpel.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

4. She says the Special Master should screen materials for exec privilege, without ever once explaining what specific material is subject to exec priv, particularly when the incumbent President rejects the assertion. How is the Master supposed to figure that intricate Q out?

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

3. She says the “reputational” harm to Trump justifies a special master. That’s insane–every crim deft has reputational harm. Are we now going to have special masters in every crim investigation?

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

they leave office. At most, it simply means these are Executive documents that must be returned to the archives. It doesn’t in any way shape or form mean they can’t be used in a criminal prosecution about stolen docs...

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

is privileged. Archivist says it is “not a close” question
2. Judge enjoins the entire investigation because some of the material might be subject to Executive Privilege. But Executive Priv isn’t some post-presidential privilege that allows Presidents to keep documents after ...

For absolutely no reason at all, just a friendly reminder that Reality Winner was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for leaking a top secret document about Russia's attempts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

LOCK HIM UP: TOP SECRET SCI/HCS/TK SAP documents? Hillary never stole this, Bitches. #EspionageAct

[Scott Stedman @ScottMStedman]

The image is actually quite telling. The secret/top secret documents found in Trump's office have a "TK" classification which stands for TALENT KEYHOLE aka secret intelligence from spy satellites and planes.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Holy fuck. It’s shocking to actually SEE some of the Top Secret documents Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago. What a traitorous SOB!
