There are 3000 counties in US and ~500 of them are blue. They house half the population and generate 72% of American wealth. They are the hubs for innovation and economic activity. If you want to live in a backwater, that’s fine, but drop the piety.

This right here could cause Cannon to link Vol II to Vol I. My bet is she grants Nauta and DeOliveira the extension on the 3 day injunction and bars both volumes from being released based on this reference to Vol II in Vol I.
The DOJ does state that there are two references to “the Classified Documents” case in Vol. 1, but they don’t refer to or deal with Nauta and De Oliveira.

Re-upping this. If you happen to know how to get a hold of Biden, could you let him know?
Dear Joe,

I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act.

So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now.

Thank you Jack Smith and all the DOJ prosecutors and staff who risked personal attacks and worse to try and do the right thing. There were many obstacles thrown in your path by others and you kept trying. Thank you for your service. ⚖️

It's a testament to lefty inefficacy that RATHER THAN making a scandal out of the fact that Trump is trying to suppress evidence that his aspiring FBI Director helped him commit a crime, we're talking about ... not that.

This is why we can't have nice scandals.

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET:

Judge Cannon orders the DOJ to file a supplement by 10 am ET tomorrow, 1/12, indicating whether Vol. 1 “directly or indirectly refers, relies, or bears in any respect upon any evidence or argument relevant to any of the charges” against Nauta and De Oliveira.

On day one, Trump reportedly planning to put hundreds of violent offenders -- thugs & militia members who attacked cops and some who are repeat criminal offenders -- back on our streets

Law & order? My ass!

Concern for cops & their families? Gaslighting bullshit!

About once a week I think fondly of my personal icon, the elephant who trampled a woman and then came back later to trample her some more at her funeral.
