Does Trump go to court again today??

The National Archives is prepared to release 4 pages of documents that were not related to the documents that the Supreme Court is presently holding up. Are these 4 pages important? Are they important enough for Trump to try and stop them from going to the 1/6 Committee?

What is holding up the documents at the Supreme Court? Legitimate legal reasons or politics? Are Alito and Thomas holding up action on these documents, by freezing the other conservatives into inaction?

Adam Schiff spoke about it on The Chris Hayes Show last night. He also questioned why the Supreme Court had not yet acted on the documents?

They can't keep their lies straight and simply invent new lies when questioned by their suckers.

But you can't do that in a deposition.

convicted of something. Just have him testify under oath. Perjury would be a slam dunk.

The SC took no time at all to shoot down the OSHA vaccine mandate.

Here we have a pretty obvious decision for a non-partisan court. Republicans have always claimed, one president at a time, and president Biden has ruled there is no privilege. The court should not even take this case which makes the delay all the more frustrating.

It sure seems like this court is working with Trump.

It is disgraceful that there is no required recusal for him since communication that might involve his wife is included in these pages -- which would explain her vociferous opposition.
