he's asked to have the Warrant and receipt unsealed. Apparently, Judicial Watch requested they be unsealed: https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/fe ... h-warrant/
On Wednesday, conservative legal nonprofit group Judicial Watch filed a motion to unseal the Trump search warrant with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

“Here, Judicial Watch is investigating the potential politicization of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice and whether the FBI and the Justice Department are abusing their law enforcement powers to harass a likely future political opponent of President Biden,” the four-page motion says. “If the Court were to unseal the materials, Judicial Watch would obtain the materials, analyze them, and make them available to the public. Unsealing the records therefore would further Judicial Watch’s mission of educating the public.”

Garland dumped responsibility for the release on Trump. Put up or shut up.

Because Dark Brandon hates Christians.

Or: because the SBC too also protected its sex abusers and silenced their victims.

You and me both.

I got real tired of the people bitching about how slow he was moving, or how ineffective he was, or how secretive he was being about investigations.

So his defense against anti-Semitism is that he doesn't actually give a shit enough about his political enemies to know actual basic facts about them and prefers to just keep the fake crap in his head.

JUST IN: A federal court has canceled next week's hearing over John Eastman's attempt to reclaim his seized cell phone.

DOJ has obtained a second search warrant in the matter, undercutting Eastman's position, the judge noted. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... 6.21.0.pdf

:blissy: :fiesta: :bunny: Wonder if he will answer questions like "did you explain the PRA" to the TFG, or "did you advise the former POTUS to return all classified documents and Presidential records to NARA" and stuff like that.

If all this was explained to him he has very little wiggle room as to why these documents were in his private quarters and packed along with his personal belongings.

Isn’t Cipolone’s testimony today to the J6 grand jury? Not the grand jury looking into the documents issue?

That's how I understood it. I forgot where I saw it, but another video of him entering with lawyer said there was a J6 prosecutor there. If I find it, I'll post it.
Edit: Found it. https:// twitter.com/RobLegare/status/1565696384719884289
Now: Former Trump White House Counsel Pat Cipollone has arrived at DC federal court for what is expected to be Jan 6 grand jury testimony. Also spotted this morning - one of DOJs Jan 6 prosecutors.
