18. IMO, I don't think that SCOTUS will get involved.

I used to do a lot of Fed appeals work. My law partner had been a Clerk on the 9th cir. before he was an AUSA in Calif Central District and all of this prior to private practice. But it has been years and all in Calif Central District to the 9th cir. I am used a liberal court, especially back when I was in active practice. IMO, too political for SCOTUS. That is just a gut reaction more than anything. Betting that they dodge this.

I don't think the Feddie courts will allow the Trumpets to sloooooooooow walk this. I also think, and it's ironic, that this is or could be a problem for the Barr crim investigation on how the Mueller investigation started. Once all the facts are out and Barr cannot spin it, it could be (I hope) the end of this kind of BS coming from Barr for the benefit of Trump that some crime was involved re the investigation of the 2016 election.
