"SNIP......

“A federal judge on Thursday skewered former President Donald Trump’s attempt to block the National Archives from complying with the Jan. 6 Committee to Investigate the Attack on the U.S. Capitol by claiming the subpoenas lacked a legislative purpose,” Law & Crime reports.

Said U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan: “The Jan. 6 riots happened in the Capitol. That is literally Congress’s house.”

2. How many more times can TFG pull his shenanigans?

Turn over the documents, as requested. The tantrums are beyond getting old.

3. until the end of time.

there will never EVER be accountability for him.

it is time to give up hope on that

5. He is going to keep trying.

The National Archive was planning to release the documents regardless, unless they were specifically ordered not to by the court so if this is that judge that was reviewing the request, and that is what the judge had to say, I would imagine that those records will be in Congress' hands soon enough.

We can't expect anything else from Trump. That is the way we ALL knew he operated since he came down the gold escalator and started his candidacy with a lie and an insult. He uses the courts to harass people and to try to cover his tracks. The point is that the committee will get the records and will know what Trump was up to.

8. Stall, stall, stall. Then start over.

That's Trump's game.

4. Refusing subpoenas is not what innocent people do.

Garland, are you paying attention?

[onecaliberal]

7. When I said the same thing about innocent people, I was fried here for wanting to deny due process..

For what it is worth, I completely agree with you.

6. THIS

That is literally Congress’s house.”
