Trump’s rough day in court ends with a double defeat

Donald Trump had a bad day in court on Tuesday – or, more accurately, courts.

The former president absorbed a stunning defeat at the Supreme Court over his long-running campaign to hide his tax returns, which are now set to land before a Democratic-run House committee. Republican-appointed appeals court judges, meanwhile, appeared cool to his latest bid to slow the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. A New York judge set an October 2023 trial date for the state’s $250 million case alleging fraud against Trump, three of his children and his organization, which will fall just before Republican presidential primary season. And as the hangover lingers from his false claims of fraud in 2020, Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham testified to a Georgia grand jury probing the ex-president’s alleged election stealing bid.

More winning!

What are Republicans doing to solve these problems? They bitch and moan about the current status of our country but do nothing to help. That's why your precious red wave was a bust.

IKR? you'd think Trump would have sorted it all out straight away!

[–] Bubbathegut (18253) 2 years ago

What about your president? Is he not in charge?

[–] robocat893 (16260) 2 years ago

So you can't answer the question. Figures.

[–] Bubbathegut (18253) 2 years ago

The Republicans are not in charge. The Dems control the House and the presidency.

[–] robocat893 (16260) 2 years ago

There are many Republicans who are in charge at lower levels of government and they do nothing to help solve our nation's problems.

[–] Bubbathegut (18253) 2 years ago

There is also many Dems in charge at lower levels of government that are doing away with bail thus making it easier for criminals to be criminals. Did everyone already forget the mantra of 2020? Defund the Police.

So far Joe has not BBB yet. He said he was going to unite the Nation. We are still waiting.

[–] robocat893 (16260) 2 years ago

That's the problem. Republicans just sit around and wait while everything is going on around them. Also you have a difficult time staying on topic.

[–] Bubbathegut (18253) 2 years ago

Dems also sit around and wait too. They dont seem to mind all the murders currently going on in America. 624 victims were killed in Chicago in 2022. They dont seem to mind people killed in one city as well. There is more going on in this World then Trump. You guys post every new article everyday about Trump and ignore everything else.

US moves to shield Saudi crown prince in journalist killing

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-moves-shield-saudi-crown-030729651.html

Biden says Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's high office should shield him from a lawsuit over his role in the killing of a U.S.-based journalist, making a turnaround from Joe Biden's passionate campaign trail denunciations of the prince over the brutal slaying.

To make a pariah out of Saudi Arabia is another promise that president Biden did not keep; like immigration reform within his first 100 days in office, like being tough with violators of Human Rights in Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran.

The Donald’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Over the course of a single hour yesterday afternoon, things went very badly for Donald Trump.

Trump’s legal arguments in the Mar-a-Lago documents case were absolutely pulverized by a federal appeals court.
After years of litigation, the Supreme Court declined to weigh in on whether Trump’s tax returns must be turned over to the House Ways & Means Committee, ending his path to legal recourse to block the move.

No, But How Bad Was It Really?
Former U.S. Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal: “My god, in the Trump Special Master appeal, I don’t think I’ve ever heard an oral argument go worse for a litigant. … They are demolishing Trump’s lawyer. It’s not close.”

Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman: “Trumps lawyer got beaten up pretty badly. He lurched at the end for a whole new argument about a general warrant, and the court called him out on it.”

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Alene: “A hot bench & not a very receptive one for Trump in Atlanta just now. In 40 minutes of argument, all 3 judges seemed inclined to rule against him.”

Law professor Orin Kerr: “From what I can tell, the idea of creating special rules for former Presidents to help them think of new arguments they can make to challenge the government when they are under criminal investigation does not seem to have a lot of legs in the 11th Circuit today.”

However, it's not clear if Democrats will be able to access those records before the new Congress, when the Republican majority is expected to withdraw the request for Trump's tax records.

Expect to hear about kitchen being cleaned off the walls at Mar-a-Lago.
