A federal appeals court ruled Thursday against an effort by former President Donald Trump to shield documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

In a 68-page ruling, the three-judge panel tossed aside Trump's various arguments for blocking through executive privilege records that the committee regards as vital to its investigation into the run-up to the deadly riot aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Judge Patricia Millett, writing for the court, said Congress had “uniquely vital interests” in studying the events of Jan. 6 and said President Joe Biden had made a “carefully reasoned" determination that the documents were in the public interest and that executive privilege should not be invoked. Trump also failed to show any harm that would occur from the release of the sought-after records Millett wrote.

Next step, Supreme Court. We'll see if they can slow walk it or not.

[struggle]

Just send it to them FBI style. Black pages.

he will just appeal. Trump is a master of this sort of thing. Delay delay delay, until eventually he will be dead :)

If they ever want Biden’s papers, they will all be Depends.

Again with the stupid Jan 6th these morons just cant let it go, because they have nothing else..they cant focus on how horrible things are going right now so they have to focus on Jan 6th..here’s an idea, focus on the Waukesha attack, focus on the fact that Joe Biden raped his daughter Ashley and showered with her when she was 12 yrs old then Biden got his commie FBI to go after Project Veritas

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel was comprised of Judges Robert Wilkins and Ketanji Brown Jackson with Patricia Millett.

The D.C. Circuit Court of DNC Stooges panel was comprised of Judges Robert Wilkins [Obama stooge] and Ketanji Brown Jackson [Biden stooge] with Patricia Millett [Obama stooge].

fixed it.

I'll bet they were yukking it up in chambers while they pretended to "give a decision" that they already had written up before they got the case...

[fruser1]

Then we have just as much “vital interest” in seeing how obama colluded to spy on the trump campaign.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Biden’s cooperation here is setting a precedent that the left WILL hate, all too soon. If a tough Republican again attains the presidency, Biden’s records AND Obama’s records, down to his “birth” certificate will become fair game.

[kiryandil]

President Joe Biden had made a “carefully reasoned" determination

I'm fascinated the Obama stooge-judge Patricia Millett was able to discern that from listening to a recording of Joek filling his adult diaper.

Maybe the double-plop wet splurt at the end is what convinced her.

Next year win the Congress then let the subpoenas fly against the Libs including Biden!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Tease ‘em President Trump. Make ‘em work for it!
Much fun watching them crawl! Much more fun watching them choke.

LOL

[CFW]

Courts are setting precedents that are going to bite Biden and his minions right in the keister! (Well, it should if we had a GOP with any backbone.)

[Islander7]

“… Congress had “uniquely vital interests” in studying the events of Jan. 6 …”

Yet congress has no internet in holding accountable those who funded the murders, looting, and burning of America’s cities for all of 2020.

They’ve been planning on a coup d’etat for a long time because Obama expanded the DC circuit with his stooges knowing that many lawsuits involving the Fed Gov’s powers would go through the DC circuit.

Good then the Next Republican controlled House, can GET AND RELEASE ALL Of Barry the Muslims School Records, Russiagate Files and Records, Job History Records..

Only after 2025 if Trump is reelected.

Ha ha ha...thanks for the laugh. The gutless wonders can't even stick together on simple issues. This would turn them into swirling dervishes.

If there was a Congressional request for papers from the Obama administration is there anyone who doesn't think that Trump would have signed off on releasing then in the proverbial New York Minute?

[AmericanInTokyo]

What's to worry about? Everyone knows he has nothing to hide. Bring it on. Release them and he will be vindicated completely.

Well, I suspect a ruling by Christmas, and if rejected release by the end of the year.... This will backfire on them big time when he is exonerated and documents and phone calls show he had nothing to do with that nonsense.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes, that would be interesting. But. It will never make it through any DC, (district, appeal or otherwise), court and that is where it would be adjudicated. If it were just to get revenge it would never see the light of day at USSC.
