3. Justice Dept. asks appeals court to restore access to Trump raid documents

This is a well done brief. I like the concept of limiting to an emergency stay on the key issue of the 100 records marked classified.

The Justice Department has asked a federal appeals court to lift a judge’s order blocking criminal investigators from accessing about 100 documents with national security classification markings recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound last month.

In a filing with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta Friday night, prosecutors said the government is facing irreparable harm as a result of U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling putting the potentially classified records off-limits to the investigative team until an outside expert conducts a review of them and considers Trump’s objections to their seizure.

“The court’s order hamstrings that investigation and places the FBI and Department of Justice … under a Damoclean threat of contempt,” DOJ lawyers said in their 29-page filing, adding, “It also irreparably harms the government by enjoining critical steps of an ongoing criminal investigation and needlessly compelling disclosure of highly sensitive records, including to [Trump’s] counsel.”

The Justice Department’s widely expected escalation of the legal fight came one day after the Trump-appointed judge rebuffed prosecutors’ request for a stay that would essentially carve out the national security-related records — some bearing markings such as “Top Secret/SCI” — from the outside oversight Trump’s legal team requested.

The filing was an unsparing rejection of Cannon’s handling of the entire matter, saying it has jeopardized national security, is based on flimsy or baseless interpretations of executive privilege and could enable further obstruction of efforts to recover additional missing documents.

4. I just find it an incredible waste of time and $ since DOJ has already "processed" it.

Optics are pretty crappy and helps keep his espionage in the news, so it has a bit of value?

Delaying his arrest is even in doubt IMHO, since this a former president and obvious AF, but still, the rules and all the due process when the # of crimes and people involved is likely so YUGE!

The national debt might be gone once all the recovery is made?

I like the former TFG properties becoming community centers and public housing/storage areas idea even in foreign countries, gift it to them for pain and suffering!

Possible silver lining out of this shit show!?!
