Guilty conscience needs no accuser…..

Didn’t think they had a conscience but seems they are aware

The options at this juncture are limited. Once informed of the search, President Trump could have intervened to protect claims of executive privilege, but did not, and so these issues are not properly before the en banc court

scratchin my head. Pres. Trump finds out after the fact ? and options are limited ?

An “en banc” review would have included the full 7 members. However, that review was made moot by the release of the information (a result of the appellate decision). The release itself was done with the use of a non-disclosure order, hiding the ruling in secrecy and keeping President Trump from knowing about it.

does this also mean the Pres. Biden had no authority to remove Pres. Trump’s Executive Privilege ?

Not as I read it. The 3 judge panel ruled in favor. The other4 judges later sort of overruled it. But there is nothing to be done at this point because it was all done on the sly in secret. The damage is done and the cat is out of the bag. Maybe this can be used on a pretrial motion to suppress evidence or on appeal later.

even with this 4 judge opinion, they did not take a vote on en banc...and the petition for it was denied.

Have to go to SCOTUS...NOW !

It funny that Trump did not use personal email so that there would be no electronic (paper) trail of his communications. But used twitter. And Smith got the records directly from them via warrant and non disclosure. Warning to Trump don’t use twitter or any electronic communication. The precedent set is that any third party electronically can disclose confidential communication.

So the discussion notes that there are 11 Justices on the Court, not 7, and this appears to be a dissent.

European style “Justice”. Trump is the only American subject to the Napoleonic Code.

They should be hung on live TV...

I’d even pay Peacock $5.99 to see that.

This was a MINORITY opinion. The fact is Smith won the case.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First, there are only 7 members on the full DC Circuit Court of Appeals. When the Twitter case to gain access to President Trump communication came to the appellate level, somehow all three of the most left-wing judges were assigned to hear the appeal.

An “en banc” review would have included the full 7 members. However, that review was made moot by the release of the information (a result of the appellate decision). The release itself was done with the use of a non-disclosure order, hiding the ruling in secrecy and keeping President Trump from knowing about it. Once the other four members of the DC CCA eventually found out about the case and the ramifications for ‘executive privilege’ their opinion lambasting their own court is released.

...snip...

What the publicity does is highlight to the world just how politically motivated all of this aforementioned action really is. Lastly, what are the odds of the random 3-judge panel to approve it. Even the DC Circuit Court itself seems to imply this was a structured outcome, which is even more infuriating to the majority within the court.

It might be more accurate to say Smith got a favorable opinion at the 3 judge panel level.

imo, Red Badger splains it pretty well:

To: MeanWestTexan

Yes all that ‘evidence’ is now tainted, but it cannot be put back because it was, of course, leaked to the press.

This is a total miscarriage of justice and denial of civil rights, blatant disregard of the law, and prosecutorial misconduct at the highest level...............

Agree. In my post, the comment about Smith winning the case was a quote, not my statement.

right, that was fido969’s statement about "smith winning" that you were replying to.

correct?

imo, more like statement that smith is guilty of prosecutorial malfeasance & committing fraud on the court
