Actually, it's Donald J. Trump v. The United States. Once again, you can state whatever alternative facts you wish, or redefine any reality. But those do not matter. In the real world, the case has a name and it is as i stated above.

Donald J. Trump v. United States of America That's the actual name of the matter before the court. An appropriate name, I think.

I would expect that and encourage that, if not in this court, which may not have jurisdiction, in the next court where Trump will square off against DOJ attorneys there. If Trump is indicted, the DOJ's case will have to be strong and well argued. If Trump does not have the best people...

What if this? What if that? The investigation is not "about what if?" It's about "who did what and when?" You can try to change the subject or diminish the grand jury, the investigators and law enforcement all you want with "what if" questions. It does not matter. "What is" trumps "what if?"

I'm not so sure. Trump has had opportunities to raise certain points in court but he has not. This failure to do so quickly is not helping him. It hurts him. If you think the warrant is invalid or overbroad, the longer you wait to challenge that, the less effect your argument becomes. Trump...

If the DOJ lied to the judge, Trump would raise that issue in court, would he not? Again, a fair amount will develop with today's filing by Trump and tomorrow's hearing. The point you raise may very well be raised. We'll know fairly soon. Also of interest is the addition of a highly regarded...

Since the DOJ filing was made late last night, I have not yet read it or listened to the news reports and commentator analysis about it. Also, Trump's response is due today (Wednesday) and a hearing on this matter is scheduled for Tursday. I think I'll wait until Friday or the weekend to review...

More likely, the guy simply retired. He reached his retirement date and retired. I don't know a lot of cops but do know some. A remarkable thing about them is every one of them knows their retirement date. It's an interesting thing about them that, even among the younger ones, their retirement...

Example of Trump team leaking: In a separate development, the Trump legal team has grown with the addition of another attorney. Chris Kise, Florida’s former solicitor general, has joined the team of lawyers representing Trump, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not...

Correct. Correct. I'm not so sure that is correct. I see quite a bit on my Facebook feed that would qualify as "conservative opinion." Some of it is emotionally laden and fiercely stated. That would be the likely outcome if Apple bans Truth Social too. People who want to use it will do it via...

It now appears that Truth Social will never be approved by Google. That could change if Truth Social more strictly moderated its content, but that is unlikely. With Google taking this public stand, it's possible Apple may develop the same content-moderation concerns about Truth Social and ban...

I don't know the answer to your questions. Nor do I think your questions are relevant. If they were relevant, Trump himself would raise them in court, would he not? Why has Trump not raised in court the questions you are asking here?

Evidence collected legally under a court-issued and properly executed search warrant. You don't get to make up your own facts. Trump has had plenty of chances to challenge the legality of the search in court. Nothing so far in that regard. The search was legal when done and remains legal now...

Oh lookie here! Oh, lookie there. Oh, lookie at Hillary, Hunter, Obama, the FBI, Biden, the Democrats, the magistrate! Oh lookie everywhere, except at Trump, the crimes named, and the evidence collected.

Fulton County, GA Update: December Indictments Loom Fulton County DA Frani Willis convened a special grand jury in May to aid an investigation she launched in February 2021 as to whether the former president engaged in criminal behavior while trying to overturn the 2020 election results...

It's too bad America's judges do not have you sitting by their side so you can tell them how it is. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to hear your deep insights.

In general, I feel the same about all judges, regardless of their political identification. As I said above, exceptions can be found but I believe the overwhelming majority of all judges, whether they are elected by the people or nominated by Democratic or Republican executives (presidents...

I do not disagree. As I said, I'm only noting the comment that the judge is "untethered from the law." I'm not saying she is. It's just something to keep an eye on. It was the comment itself that got my attention. Other than your description, I do not know who Lawrence Tribe is. It is probably...

Trump Misses the Boat From Fox News "The Justice Department announced in a court filing Monday that they already reviewed documents seized from former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and that they identified a "limited set" of documents that could include information protected by...

About This Judge ... There is a lot of talk in this forum about judges ruling in one way or another because of their partisan views. I've always been uncomfortable with that assumption because I like to think that, for the most part, the constitution and the law itself matters more to judges --...
