I think this is first supreme court ruling- issue to court so far, on clssified filesgate

Supreme Court declines to hear case on DOJ ‘filter teams’ used in Trump search
Quote: | The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case about whether the Justice Department (DOJ) can use “filter teams,” such as the one enlisted by the DOJ to begin a review of evidence collected at former President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago to determine whether they are privileged.
it of certiorari in Korf v. United States, which questioned the legality of “filter team” protocols that allow teams of federal prosecutors and agents not assigned to a given case to review seized documents claimed to be privileged before the privilege question has been resolved. |

they are testing the waters with the Supreme court over this serious case. If the supreme idiots side on trump he will bring the entire thing to them. He wants to know they have his back. After all he has at least 2 judge sexual predators like himself. I am just surprised Trump did not pardon Epstein his best friend and put him on the supreme court.

Former prosecutor predicts Trump is about to get 'bench-slapped' by the Supreme Court
Quote: |
Former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance spoke to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace about the recent filing to appeal the 11th Circuit Court's opinion to allow the Justice Department to continue its work on the investigation of the theft of government documents.
Justice Clarence Thomas is the one who generally oversees the 11th Circuit, but Vance explained that folks shouldn't read too much into that.
"He is our Circuit Justice in the 11th Circuit. These sorts of matters go to him initially. I would expect that unless he decides to dispense with this on his own, that he will take it to the full court and it won't be a decision made just by Justice Thomas," she told Wallace.
She went on to talk about an extremely technical legal issue from Trump's $3 million lawyer. |

Maybe because it would take Epstein a very very very long
time to deliberate.

Trump seems to have settled on a "tweeted" defense that the Feds lost the docs that were in the empty folders, and that other docs were "planted". Will his lawyers use these claims to try to convince a jury, or is this an unwinnable defense strategy? Quote: |
No.
First, he and his family watched the entire event from video, as did his lawyer from the Secret Service control station.
Next, the search was documented with videos and with images.
Third, eyewitness testimony of the documents existed before the arrival of the FBI exists.
Fourth, some of the documents were asked for last year and in the beginning of this year because Trump was known to have taken them.
Trump aims dimwitted stuff at his followers, who not have the brains to know different, and it will not work in court. |

Video from May 8, 2021 shows Trump boarding a jet from Florida to Bedminster with multiple boxes. What is the likelihood that he moved government documents to his Bedminster, New Jersey property?
If they searched Bedminster we would not know unless Trump told us.
Quote: | I’m betting they did. The DOJ doesn’t leak.
Because one of the people who was involved in the transfer of boxes and a brown briefcase is William Russell. Trump aid. He was subpoenaed 3 days ago to testify before a Federal grand jury. |

The Supreme Court rejected a request from Donald Trump to intervene in the litigation over documents seized from his Florida estate.
Thursday, October 13, 2022 3:24 PM ET
Quote: | There were no noted dissents, and the court gave no reasons, saying only: “The application to vacate the stay entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Sept. 21, 2022, presented to Justice Thomas and by him referred to the court is denied.” |

EXPOSED: Trump’s secret Bedminster meetings with a Chinese con man
Quote: | Trump's controversial dealings at Bedminster
Since leaving the White House back in January 2021, Donald Trump has made his Bedminister estate in New Jersey his summer retreat, and he continues to hold meetings and rallies at the golf club. But what do we know about his residence in the Garden State? Click or scroll on to see inside this golf club and luxury mansion and discover its secrets, from Secret Service scandals and sensitive documents to the con man who infiltrated Trump's inner circle...
A Chinese con man infiltrated Bedminster
The latest scandal to emerge from Trump's New Jersey estate reads as stranger than fiction. Pictured here at a government meeting at Bedminster during his time as president, another decidedly less official meeting at the property is making headlines. According to an investigation by the news organization ProPublica in October 2022, a Chinese con man and convicted fraudster infiltrated the golf club in July and September 2018 to enjoy two casual meetings with Donald Trump. ProPublica describes Tao Liu as a social climber who had a "fervent goal of meeting Trump". He even went so far as to reportedly rent a $6,000-a-month apartment in Trump Tower in order to curry favor with the former president.
A curious encounter
Both meetings are corroborated by images obtained by ProPublica and the first is thought to have taken place in the estate's ballroom (pictured), replete with sandwiches and soft drinks. It's not clear what was discussed, but Joseph Cinque, a Trump associate who reportedly introduced Liu to the president, was present for at least one of the encounters. Speaking retrospectively to ProPublica, he claimed he too was duped by Liu and labeled him a "professional con man", a summation the US Department of Justice also agreed with...
Sentenced for a $30m laundering scheme
This image, from an Instagram account ProPublica identified as belonging to Tao Liu, shows him attending a Trump rally in 2018 wearing a VIP pass. In August 2021, Liu was sentenced to seven years in prison in the US for his part in a $30 million money laundering scheme that extended back to 2008. He pleaded guilty to the charges. As part of the operation, Liu tried to bribe an undercover agent to obtain fraudulent US passports and handled drug money for his co-conspirator. However, ProPublica says overseas news outlets identified him as the mastermind of a fraudulent scheme three years before the Bedminster meetings, which begs the question: how did he manage to get an audience with the then-president?
A security loophole
At the time of the Trump meetings, ProPublica states that Liu was being watched by the FBI, who were suspicious that he was colluding with Chinese spies in an operation to buy access to major US political figures. It seems even more incredible then, that someone on an FBI watchlist could get so close to the former leader of the free world and seemingly evade Trump's entourage of security. However, at least one of the meetings reportedly occurred when Trump had no official business, which meant Liu could avoid stringent background screenings. A Secret Service official said that they don't keep track of every individual involved in "off-the-record movements". There is no suggestion that Donald Trump was aware of Liu's criminal past. |
