But on the other hand, let's celebrate all the good that was done by Willis, Bragg, Merchan, Jack Smith, James et al! We need to thank our lucky stars as a country for all their hard work on behalf of the American people. It was worth all the money, time and effort!
Sorry SSS.
Smith also dismissed the classified documents case against Trump, but not co-defendants Nauta and De Oliveira. The case should stay alive for now, if for no other reason than to get the appeals court to reverse Judge Cannon’s bizarre ruling that special prosecutors are illegal. I expect that Smith will hand over the case to a low-profile attorney. I also assume that if the appeals court doesn’t decide before the inauguration, Bondi will continue the appeal. She wants to be able to appoint special prosecutors too.
Do you have proof of that? Oh wait - lol - you never have proof of election irregularity - you just assume it happened because you know "urban" folks don't vote.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2024 2:13 pm"https://x.com/i/status/186652216602569 ... e trouble.
She is refusing to turn over her emails related to communications with the White House. She is between a rock and a hard place.
Too bad SSS isn't here to tell me how this doesn't mean anything.
But the informed and enlightened voters of Fulton County recently re-elected her. Or did they? Never know with Fulton. They seem to break more election laws than they comply with.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federa ... y-materialFox News 11/17/25 wrote:Judge orders DOJ to give Comey grand jury records, citing prosecutor's misconduct
Interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan accused of making misleading statements during secret proceedings
A federal judge on Monday ordered the Department of Justice to hand over grand jury material to former FBI Director James Comey, an unusual move that the judge said was necessary because of the department's "highly unusual" activity during the secret grand jury proceedings. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick scolded the DOJ in the order for what he said was a glaring mishandling of evidence presented to grand jurors and possible misstatements by the case's lead prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan. "The Court is finding that the government’s actions in this case — whether purposeful, reckless, or negligent — raise genuine issues of misconduct, are inextricably linked to the government’s grand jury presentation, and deserve to be fully explored by the defense," Fitzpatrick wrote.
The judge also warned that the grand jury proceedings may have been tainted beyond repair and could cause the court to dismiss the indictment. Comey is facing one charge of a false statement to Congress and one charge of obstruction of justice. He has pleaded not guilty and moved to have his case dismissed on several grounds. The grand jury issue stems from evidence Halligan presented to the grand jury that the judge said improperly stemmed from years-old warrants. Halligan, a former White House aide and insurance lawyer who had no prior prosecutorial experience, was installed by Trump in September as interim U.S. attorney as part of the DOJ's rush to fulfill Trump's demand that Comey be charged before the statutes of limitation expired.
When presenting the case to the grand jury, Halligan relied on evidence gathered from 2019 and 2020 warrants that were part of a past investigation while, according to the judge, brushing off rules surrounding how investigators and prosecutors are permitted to review and seize information obtained through the warrants. Fitzpatrick said the DOJ showed a "cavalier attitude" toward the Fourth Amendment, which governs citizens' privacy rights.
"Inexplicably, the government elected not to seek a new warrant for the 2025 search, even though the 2025 investigation was focused on a different person, was exploring a fundamentally different legal theory, and was predicated on an entirely different set of criminal offenses," Fitzpatrick wrote. "The Court recognizes that a failure to seek a new warrant under these circumstances is highly unusual." He also said that based on transcripts of the grand jury proceedings, Halligan made prejudicial and misleading statements, including conveying to grand jurors that Comey did not have a Fifth Amendment right.
Fitzpatrick granted Comey's request to review the material underpinning the proceedings, including audio of them, and ordered the DOJ to provide the records to Comey by the end of the day. The DOJ had argued that Comey's concerns about the grand jury proceedings were "speculative and unsubstantiated" and did not meet the high threshold required to break grand jury secrecy.

No, but apparently the lawyers at the Department of Justice did. What you ignored was that the DOJ sent Gov. Abbott a letter requesting that he redraw Texas's lines based on racial makeup. And that is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:03 pmDid Judge Brown graduate from Acme Law School, too?
When the opposing side proves your case for you, all you can do is shout lawfare without the slightest idea what the legal principles involved are.The letter [from the Department of Justice] essentially handed the court a blueprint for dismantling the GOP’s strategy and exposed the racial motives behind their nationwide gerrymander push. [The DOJ attorney] insisted that, to address constitutional concerns, Texas had to dismantle minority coalition districts. The court found the directive illegible, legally unsupported, factually inaccurate and focused on race in ways that were constitutionally impermissible.
“It’s challenging to unpack the DOJ Letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors,” the judges wrote. “Indeed, even attorneys employed by the Texas Attorney General — who professes to be a political ally of the Trump Administration — describe the DOJ Letter as ‘legally unsound,’ ‘baseless,’ ‘erroneous,’ ‘ham-fisted,’ and ‘a mess.’” The judges noted that while Texas insisted the 2025 map was drawn for partisan reasons, the DOJ letter made no such claim and framed its demands entirely around race.
That omission was pivotal. “The DOJ Letter is equally notable for what it doesn’t include: any mention of partisanship. Had the Trump Administration sent Texas a letter urging the State to redraw its congressional map to improve the performance of Republican candidates, the Plaintiff Groups would then face a much greater burden to show that race — rather than partisanship — was the driving force behind the 2025 Map,” the court wrote. “But nothing in the DOJ Letter is couched in terms of partisan politics.”
The opinion you cite mentions George Soros in its first sentence. What better way to make it clear that its author is another conspiracy loon? While that nonsense is your oxygen at this point, in the real world, we discuss cases based on what the law says, not crazy ideas about Jewish billionaires.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:03 pmHave a gander at the dissent opinion.

Justice Alito has issued a stay of the lower court decision upon Texas's appeal. The application went to him because he is the justice who oversees appeals of this nature arising in the Fifth Circuit. The plaintiffs will have until Monday to file a response, at which time the entire Court will decide whether to continue the stay until they can hear the entire case on the merits. If the Court does issue the stay, it means that the new Texas districts will remain in effect for the 2026 election.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 8:39 amMore bad news for Republican attempts to rig the 2026 elections. A federal court in Texas has ruled that the state's recent Congressional redistricting was an illegal racial gerrymander and prohibited the use of the new districts in the 2026 elections. Texas has the earliest candidate qualifying deadline and the earliest primary in the nation. Qualifying is going on now, and the deadline is December 8. The state has already said it will appeal to the Supreme Court. It's possible the Supreme Court could issue a stay of the lower court's ruling between now and December 8. The opinion was written by a Trump appointee.
This decision does not affect California's recent redistricting or those in any other state. Republicans in California have filed a suit challenging that redistricting, but that case is at a much earlier stage, since the California redistricting did not take affect until after this November's election.
