Has Merrick Garland screwed up the Mar-a-Lago case?
The Hill ^ | 09/13/2022 | JAMES D. ZIRIN

Posted on 09/13/2022 5:48:48 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Merrick Garland is supposed to be a pretty good lawyer. Harvard Law School, federal prosecutor, federal judge, Supreme Court nominee, attorney general presiding over the Department of Justice (DOJ) — all the cake, most of the icing, without the cherry.

But some of my former prosecutor friends tell me that he may have overlooked a key procedural point in his current joust with former President Trump over the Mar-a-Lago documents. On Sept. 8, Garland filed a notice of appeal to the 11th circuit Court of Appeals from the special master order of Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon.

Simultaneously, he moved the inexperienced Trump-appointed Judge Cannon to modify her order granting Trump’s motion to appoint a special master and gratuitously (Trump never asked for such relief) enjoining the government from “further review and use of any of the materials seized from [Trump’s] residence” (the FBI said it had already reviewed it all) “for criminal investigative purposes, pending resolution of the special master’s review process…”

In listening to the video interview after a lot of years, I see that it was Khalid Mansour who contacted Sutton to use his influence to get Obama into Harvard Law School.

Executive privilege is to protect the executive against the legislative branch????

Complete BS, it is to protect the Active President by ensuring he can trust the secret counsel of advisors. These deep state people can’t get it through their head that the President is the Executive, no one else. He is the Executive Branch.

John Goodman was 21 years old when that movie was made.

Well there’s no bias in this article. Pfft.

They start off by shading the judge as inexperienced, as though she passed the bar two weeks ago. Do they ever use that word to describe a Biden Obama judge?

I don't think so....just an actor in a put up lie of a show. I actually had a history professor very much like him when I was at NATS in 1977... HE'd earned it, IMO....

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn’t pimping Houseman’s acting chops. I was quoting a commercial Houseman did. “They make money the old fashioned way, the earn it.”

As someone that has employed two Harvard trained liars...

++++++++++++++

All in need to know about Harvard is that they just hired Brian Stelter to teach some woke BS class.

Harvard Law provides no decent education, what it provides is a long list of insider contacts. So simply going there doesn't mean you have good aptitude.

Elle Woods would agree with that ...

Trump derangement syndrom and commie mother’s milk rotted out Garland’s brain.

Morning Joe was backtracking on this issue this morning - looks like democrat thugs are going to switch focus back to Jan 6th. Why? Because they didn’t get crap from Trump’s home beyond ‘library books not returned on time’ crap.

And Adam Kinzinger? Looks like he got the full commie brain bath... “Yes, he is a hero - willing to stand alone - history will look to his bravery - what an honor to be able to do this”... blah blah blah. Kinzinger’s been played for a fool... every psyops trick in the book. Same crap that was fed to our atomic scientists by commies as they all ‘stood with pride to save the world by balancing out atomic secrets’...(sold out our country) Rumor is only Edward Teller didn’t cave to the commie flattery.

This article is so biased as to be completely unbelievable. It is filled with conjecture and hyperbole.


Simultaneously, he moved the inexperienced Trump-appointed Cannon to modify her order granting Trump’s motion to appoint a special master and gratuitously (Trump never asked for such relief) enjoining the government from “further review and use of any of the materials seized from [Trump’s] residence”
The Department of National Intelligence (DNI) has already committed to Congress that it will access the classified documents to assess the damage to national security.
Special masters love to run up time on the clock. Indeed, the contents of the 100 classified documents are irrelevant to the criminal case, as their very possession by Trump is criminal.
Only then can the DNI make a meaningful national security assessment. The FBI submitted an affidavit to Cannon, making the case that her prohibition of their use of seized classified material would “cause the most immediate and serious harm to the government and the public.”
So, if the FBI and DOJ can’t look at them, who can? Has Cannon bought into the MAGA trope that the FBI and the Justice Department are “vicious monsters”?
James D. Zirin is a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York.
That last line says it all. The author is a part of the Trump witch-hunt.
