En banc ruling, Trump should request a move for a full court ruling.
I believe Justice Thomas oversees this circuit, so they had best be acting in conformance with the law, or he will likely step in.
One Obama judge spoils the whole panel.

Bring it to the Supreme Court. At its heart are many vital Constitutional questions that need to be answered.
Meh. The world is going to end on September 24th anyway. 😉

Etc.
There are also some fairly “legit” sources iscussing economic stuff coming down the pike at the end of September. Lots of talk about the Jewish new year, etc. as well.
The thing I like about this sort of prediction is you don’t have to wait long to find out if it’s true. 😁
“Dearie also suggested Trump’s attorneys would not be receiving security clearance in the near term, which would also limit their ability to review the documents of concern.”
They’re going to have to be given the clearances, or the feds won’t be able to make any prosecution based on any of those documents they are pinning their hopes on.
When Trump returns we need a law that if a reviewing appeals panel is reversed by a higher court, the appellate judges pay the attorney fees for the petitioner’s appeals from their salaries.
This whole fake “investigation” sure seems on-sided and stacked against the accused. In a sane legal system, it would void all charges.
For all the complaints about this legal process, the judge is not wrong here. If you go to court and want to press a legal point, you're going to have to back it up.
The "classification" question was never the real issue here. The bigger question involves documents that should be subject to Donald Trump's legal protections as a U.S. citizen (covered by lawyer-client privilege, for example).
Per para. 2, the suggestion that Trump should try to make this the pivotal issue in the midterms.
That’s a swell idea. At least 35% of the voters hate the guy’s guts. We should take the attention off the disastrous administration and try to get those people to vote for us based on the injustice done to someone they loathe. That’s a pretty aggressive move in the direction of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
By the still standing executive order of his most exalted excellency Barack Obama:
“Sec. 1.7. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations.
(a) In no case shall information be classified,
continue to be maintained as classified,
or fail to be declassified in order to:
(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error;
(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;
(3) restrain competition; or
(4) prevent or delay the release of information that does not require protection in the interest of the national security.”
“Part 3 - Declassification and Downgrading
Sec. 3.1. Authority for Declassification.
(a) Information shall be declassified as soon as it no longer meets the standards for classification under this order.
(b) Information shall be declassified or downgraded by:
(1) the official who authorized the original classification, if that official is still serving in the same position and has original classification authority;
(2) the originator’s current successor in function, if that individual has original classification authority;
(3) a supervisory official of either the originator or his or her successor in function, if the supervisory official has original classification authority;”
“Sec. 3.2. Transferred Records.
(a) In the case of classified records transferred in conjunction with a transfer of functions, and not merely for storage purposes, the receiving agency shall be deemed to be the originating agency for purposes of this order.”
“Part 4 - Safeguarding
Sec. 4.1. General Restrictions on Access.
(a) A person may have access to classified information provided that:
(1) a favorable determination of eligibility for access has been made by an agency head or the agency head’s designee;
(2) the person has signed an approved nondisclosure agreement; and
(3) the person has a need to know the information
....
(d) Classified information may not be removed from official premises without proper authorization.
(e) Persons authorized to disseminate classified information outside the executive branch shall ensure the protection of the information in a manner equivalent to that provided within the executive branch.”
“Sec. 4.2 Distribution Controls.
(a) The head of each agency shall establish procedures in accordance with applicable law and consistent with directives issued pursuant to this order to ensure that classified information is accessible to the maximum extent possible by individuals who meet the criteria set forth in section 4.1(a) of this order.”

You knew this was coming. This is the way the democratic party operates. They suppress all opposing evidence always! They want no opposition ever.
Let us see the Special Master’s evidence. Let us hear what he has to say so we can make up our own minds. The opposition to it just proves that the FBI and the DOJ are biased toward the democrats. They do not want it to be known that there was nothing scary found in what they took from Mar-a-Lago. It would be even more proof that it was a democratic scheme to influence the November midterm election. The evidence against the FBI and DOJ is mounting and obvious as they fight against the Special Master’s evidence.
“Daniel Ellsberg...released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of the U.S. government decision-making in relation to the Vietnam War, to The New York Times, The Washington Post and other newspapers.
“On January 3, 1973, Ellsberg was charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 along with other charges of theft and conspiracy, carrying a total maximum sentence of 115 years. Because of governmental misconduct and illegal evidence-gathering, and the defense by Leonard Boudin and Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson, Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr. dismissed all charges against Ellsberg on May 11, 1973.”

I still question the integrity of the search that occurred without the presence of the target on-site to verify that nothing was planted in the ‘evidence’ by the police to make their case. Trump’s attorney was forced to stand at the end of the driveway on the property line.
Pro-Trump writers have encouraged us to believe that Trump had declassified the documents seized by the FBI.
From what is being reported, Trump has not made any sort of case to the courts to show that declassification happened. Not that Trump’s lawyers argued and were denied — that no case was made at all. Yet images of documents by both Trump and his Chief of Staff have been posted, which speak of declassifying a large notebook of documents.
Is Trump unable to hire competent attorneys?
Why are they incapable of presenting a case for what is the crux of this matter? Is something else in play wth this?
Or did the Trump and those around him lie about declassification?
It should go to the Supreme Court.
Why the FBI and DoJ don’t want the special master to see the documents is because what the documents really are might leak out. My bet is that most are related to Crossfire Hurricane, Russiagate, and FISA warrants, all of which would confirm the corruption of both the FBI and DoJ. They are just interested in covering their own a$$es, and attempting to smear, and prosecute Trump in the court of public opinion by their steady leaking to their lapdog media.
You know, you just might think the entire U.S. Government is conspiring against Trump.
Never seen anything like it.
This is what you get when you have a flaccid Republican Party for years, look at what the democrats have gotten away with in Clinton’s corruption, Obama an African born socialist not a freakin thing to expose them.
Trump had every government bureau including FBI,CIA, military leadership, not even to mention the communist morons in the media.
It’s all up to the American voter, if democrats continue to control both houses of Congress after this election, last one out of the room turn off the lights
He signed off on one of the FISA warrants.
He's part of the coup.
