Why Trump Will ‘Strike Out’ With His Supreme Court Appeal

Former President Trump is asking the Supreme Court for access to the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, arguing he and the special master need to review them. “I don’t see any possible ground” for Trump to win, says former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks. She tells MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez why the Justice Department’s appeal has a better shot.

When poor people are caught stealing they are thrown in jail. When rich people are caught stealing they're asked politely to give it back. 🤷‍♂

[tomsimpson]

The talking should stop and the prison sentence start

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*Trump signed a law in 2018 that stiffened the penalty for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents from one year to five years, turning it into a felony offense.*
🤣😆😅😂🤣

Don't be surprised if Clarence helps him...the new supreme court is of questionable character

[michaelhernandez]

Except that the scotus is illegitimate and has been radicalized by the very person asking for special attention from them.

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*I like presidents who DON'T try to steal classified documents.*

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*Remember when the GOP was the party of Law and Order?*

Yeah, me neither.

[BlueJazzBoyNZ]

If Donald isn't held to account
The next US wannabe Despot
may succeed ...

Kick the can, kick the can, until he can use the documents he still has to extort his way out of this.

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*To upset a Liberal...tell them a lie.*
*To upset a MAGAfan...tell them the truth.*

[josephf]

The longer he delays the more that he can grift the Magats

[richard]

I wouldn't put it past trump to bury top secrets with his ex wife at the golf course.

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*I like presidents who DON'T start insurrections.*

[lillyfitzgerald]

Finally someone speaking out about sanctioning lawyers. Surely, lawyers themselves will wake up that they will destroy any career ambitions they may have to serve people, to serve their country. So why the delay? What does Trump have planned requiring a delay?

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*Non-Deplorable (decent and honorable) Americans will **_NEVER FORGET_** the failed January 6, 2021 Insurrection.*

[johnduncan]

He has never thought of anyone but him self from the get go ! Wake up!

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

Trump: *“You see the mob takes the Fifth, ”* he said. *“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”*

[JamesSmith-rhis]

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that life in America for the majority of Americans is actually better without Trump as our president anymore.

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*Remember when the GOP had ethics, integrity, honor and respected the Rule of Law and our Constitution?*

Yeah, me neither.

[JesusSaysMAGAtrashMAGAfilth]

*If MAGAfans could actually **_think_** ...*
*...they wouldn't be MAGAfans.*
