Trump complains that the FBI acted "with no understanding of the distress that it would cause most Americans."

As we consider video from this weekend of law enforcement beating a man on the pavement, this line makes clear, from the start, that this is not a legal document. Image
Reminder: It was conservative, Trump-friendly outlets that got the warrant in advance of its court release — almost certainly leaked by Team Trump — yet Trump complains here about "[g]overnment leaks to favored outlets." Image
Just going to read this paragraph whenever I need a laugh. Image
"Now it all makes sense."
So many good lines, honestly. Image
Um, I'm sorry, I know I haven't practiced law in some time, but if you don't know what is in *your* numbered boxes that were taken, it seems like that's on you? There was very specific information given! Image
#protip: In your filing claiming that you're being wronged, don't lay out the details of exactly when and how you threatened the Attorney General. Image
Here's the full Trump filing, which was filed as a new lawsuit, and not in the search warrant docket or even listed as a related case (which it certainly is): storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
As to the actual request, I responded to this, in brief, in my newsletter *last* Monday: chrisgeidner.substack.com/p/thoughts-on-… // In addition, expect to see discussion of "laches," or, delaying a claim for so long that the court need not grant it. ImageImage

This is incredibly good news. washingtonpost.com/education/2022… Image
I've expressed my issues with the time they've taken on this, the insecurity of the short-term pauses, the means-testing element, and the total amounts they're choosing, but this is coming together to be a monumental package. Of course, more details and the implementation remain.

TONIGHT: A federal judge in Texas blocked enforcement of HHS’s emergency abortion care EMTALA “interpretation.” Under the ruling, HHS can’t enforce its abortion guidance against Texas, whose trigger ban goes into effect Aug. 25, and the members of two pro-life medical groups. ImageImageImage
Here’s the opinion and order from US District Judge James Wesley Hendrix: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
I wrote about this challenge from Texas and another pending challenge from DOJ in Idaho — where a ruling is expected Wednesday — at @lawdorknews last week: chrisgeidner.substack.com/p/the-biden-ad…

Things are going great for Team Trump. Two of his lawyers just got their pro hac vice admission motions denied because they didn’t file them right. (Pro hac vice motions are seeking permission to practice in a court where you aren’t admitted.) Image
They’ll presumably re-file correctly and get the motions granted, but, it’s just 🤡 stuff.

“Now it all makes sense.”
“… with no understanding of the distress that it would cause most Americans …”
This incredible "Cookiegate" clip is really helpful to explaining today's Trump filing, just as it was helpful to explaining the Watergate hearings 49 years ago.

Thread on today’s arguments over the DOJ emergency abortion care lawsuit against Idaho —>
Coming out of today's arguments in Idaho, the legislature is fighting to limit the scope of DOJ's win in court, submitting a redlined proposed "fall-back" order (as compared to DOJ's initial proposed order). Image 1 is the filing, 2 & 3 are the proposed redline. Links to follow.

BREAKING: Andrew Warren, the elected Tampa prosecutor suspended by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking reinstatement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
I wrote about Warren's suspension that day for @boltsmag, noting that Warren was likely to fight back: boltsmag.org/florida-govern…
Primarily a First Amendment case, Warren also argues that DeSantis improperly exercised his suspension authority under the Florida Constitution.
