Summary

A U.S. appeals court ruled that the Justice Department can release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

While a Judge Aileen Cannon's temporary block remains in effect for three more days, the decision paves the way for the report’s release as early as next week.

The report will focus on the 2020 election probe, as the classified documents portion remains restricted to Congress due to ongoing legal cases.

Trump denies wrongdoing, calling the investigations politically motivated.

lol, even if the investigation is politically motivated, the findings might - and probably will - be quite objectively illegal, traitorous, immoral, etc

I just wonder if there will be anything that we didn’t already know. I feel like we are so desensitized to Trump’s bullshit that nothing will make a difference.

In a court filing a while back, Smith said he was ready to prove the motive behind why Trump took the documents, which is the one big question that remained unanswered. I really hope that’s included. There are lots of possible motivations, and I honestly never thought we’d find out. We probably still won’t, but there’s plenty of other new information this report could give us.

The classified case is still stuck in congress. I suspect that will never see the light of day.

The mishandling of classified material is the one that needs to be released. This is all a big joke.

What you mean: I want to see the statements and actions surrounding the mishandling of classified documents

What the US gov will release: a bunch of black bars in a PDF

If it's the kind of black bars that merely layer above actually included text, then they would be Gucci.

Third most used sentence in English language media after "Who wore it best?" and "But do you condemn Hamas?" 😮‍💨

Now our corrupt Supreme Court can block it for Daddy Trump.

NewsFlash: We live in an oligarchy and pretty soon we won't be any better than Russia.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It’s according to plan. Russia can’t compete with the West, so it wants to bring western countries to its level.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It is, undeniably, working.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

So now it goes to the Supreme Court?

Someone tell me if I have it wrong buti think normally they wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, but since it's Daddy Trump they might.

[-] CandyPants@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

They declined to hear it.

Yes, the court where Alito had a private conversation with Trump recently.
