A few questions about the "appeal"?

[kentuck]

Was it a straight out appeal to the 11th Circuit? Or was it an "appeal" to the Judge to issue a partial stay on the classified documents part of her decision?

They stated that if they did not receive a satisfactory ruling on that matter, they were going to "appeal" it to the 11th Circuit? Did they mean they were going to appeal the part about the classified documents or the full case?

Did they rule out the Special Master if they get the Judge to approve a stay on that part of her decision? Or do they "appeal" to the 11th Circuit regardless of what the Judge rules?

Can someone clarify that?

2. Thanks!

I interpreted that as if the Judge takes out the classified stuff, Trump can have his "Special Master". If not, they will ask the 11th Circuit to take it out. And then they will still go back to the Special Master process.

3. That's what I took also nt

8. DOJ really outdid themselves, trying to clean up that mess

10. What if the 11th Circuit rules for Trump anyway?

11. Then we have a Constitutional Crisis

because they would effectively be ruling that a former POTUS has equal power to the sitting POTUS.

12. Would it got to SCOTUS? That's what I think I've heard

13. Then Biden declares "executive privilege" on all the classified documents.

And orders the DOJ to not turn them over. Because they are about our national security. If the Courts have a problem, let them come up with a solution.

Let them take it to the Supreme Court.

4. "...pending trial..."?? That sounds ominous AF.

6. The DOJ would not have used a search warrant to seize the documents unless they intended...

...to indict the culprit, in my opinion.

9. That was a mistake on the tweeter's part (which they admitted). It's actually "pending appeal". nt

5. They gave the judge a deadline,

was it the 15th, I forget, to make up her mind and remove the stay.

7. Yes.

A week from today.

It will give her something to think about. If she refuses, they go to the 11th Circuit to get another opinion.
