Trump shot off his mouth and Merrick Garland counterpunched

...Trump's not president anymore, with a DOJ he can openly intimidate with impunity.

Merrick Garland is showing him how Justice responds when attacked by a suspected perp.

One thing of interest is the qualification in the DOJ request to "unseal the Notice of Filing and its attachment absent objection by former President Trump," perhaps a public rejoinder that Trump can release any of the warrant today on his own volition.


Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck 7m
Key point in AG Garland's statement: DOJ was willing to do this quietly, *without* making a public spectacle of the search.

It was *President Trump's* decision to make it public that turned this all into a spectacle (and is leading DOJ to move to unseal part of the application).

You just know he will because having the warrant out there just kills his narrative.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that martial music was used in 50s/60s cop shows.

25. How to set a trap for a trumpnik
Thu Aug 11, 2022, 07:34 PM

1. Place a double-jaw trap out. (Such a device may seem cruel and inhumane, but remember, we're talking about trumpniks, not wolves or bears or other innocent creatures.)

2. Advise the trumpnik to NOT jam their face in the trap.

3. Make popcorn. Season to taste.

4. Enjoy popcorn as the trumpnik struggles to pry open the trap and set the trigger, then leans back, takes a deep breath, and slams its face into the trigger as hard as it fucking can
