Why does American national security have to wait until Monday for a felon?

[RikersforTrump]

Since when does a lower judge tell the Attorney General what to do?

[agolftwittler]

Inmate 45, stand back and stand by.
We are closing the cell doors now.

[jerrykahler]

Get this guy in custody and make America sane again.

[ronque]

Everyone who tries to help Trump evade the law ends up crashing, burning and looking like a fool. Good job in keeping that streak alive, judge.

[sheilabatey]

Judge Cannon should be dismissed from her position as she is clearly not knowledgeable regarding the intensity of the matter.
National Security is paramount to the American people.

[friscokid]

The last instance of nuclear espionage resulted in a death sentence for Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. That would solve the pardon problem with this insane national security risk. I think he should be indicted on obstruction as cited in the Mueller report and held incognito in Guantanamo until he explains the national security concerns about his EMPTY classified folders. He is quite obviously a national security risk never mind the Putin meetings with no witness's or translators. Put him on ice and let his defense team take all the time they need.

[jmswillow]

He should be in custody until this is resolved. Any person other than him would be held in custody finding 10 percent of what he had.

[Nothinglefttosay]

I can’t believe this has gone this far..
By now, anyone else would be already sitting in a cell…

[rayrous]

Top secret documents were found in his winter home while he's living in his summer home.
Why didn't they follow up with a search of the summer home?
How much more damage are we going to let him do?

[joemc]

Start the impeachment proceedings of that ''bought '' rookie judge

[magasaremooks]

His response “It’s a hoax. And I have declassified all. And I can do whatever I want cuz mommy and daddy always let me do what I want. Me me me. “

[userb]

You mean there are more top secret documents not retrieved? Lock down the entire place and treat it like a crime scene - because it is a crime scene 🤦‍♂️😬

[LambertBrady]

Somebody knew at all times that those documents were left in the hands of con mango. That person is as guilty as Con-Mango.

[bm]

This Federal judge needs to be impeached if possible. If not possible Congress needs to pass a new law for future use.

[nzlhjkc]

I still don't get why Trump has ANY say in this appeal, to begin with. He can't stop it, nor can the corrupt judge.

[honorladone]

He is a private citizen. He's going to prison.

[dannyspitzer]

Trump is the worst thing that's ever happened to this country. And yes I mean "thing"....

[Me]

No judge should ever be allowed to rule in a legal matter regarding the person who appointed them. This is what recusal is for.

[robertjames]

The scofflaw will be late responding. Just one day to delay: get ‘er done, DOJ.
