My fear: The 11th circuit will rule that Smith can release the J6 volume of his report. Trump will file an emergency stay with SCOTUS. And they grant it - pushing the release past 1/20, where it will die forever.

of course that’s happening. Probably joe biden ordering it released is an option? Release it and if appealed then it’s already out. Of course it may be time for a leak
That's not just a fear, it's a near certainty. And that has been the Trump playbook for decades. Appeal as many times as possible to exhaust the other side.
Dems playing by rules that don’t exist anymore. Fucking Trump’s lawyer argued that he could legally have Biden murdered, SCOTUS agreed, and now we’re afraid of the paperwork being distributed without permission. Any wonder why we’re here?
It's just shocking how Trump gets away with damn near everything. This certainly is no longer the America I grew up in. Make America America Again #MAAA
Why did Trumps lawyers get a draft from the DOJ in the first instance. If it was just released it would be fait accomplis. The law in the US is indeed an Ass.
Smith has to be ready, the second the 11th circuit says release, to hit the GO button. Stop giving Trump time to file shit and no, I don’t care what the normal process is bc none of this is normal. When are we going to start out strategizing them?
Now it seems Cannon built in 3 days between 11th decision and release if they give the green light which just means they will try to delay another way until 1/20. 😵💫😠😡
Can Garland release it the minute the 11th circuit rules (if they rule it can be released) before they get their filing to SCOTUS? He needs to be aggressive here.
It doesn't matter *what* the report says at this point. It could give bonafide proof that Trump murdered JFK with his bare hands and went back in time to kill Jesus as a baby. No amount of data is going to change anything now.
If this happens, it's because Biden allowed it. Dems will continue to play by the rules of a game that no one else is currently playing, and they are getting their asses handed to them because of it. Take the fucking gloves off. Fight, FFS.
Or, allow the report to disappear. The choice is Biden's.
I agree. The Dems are following the rules of a civilized society but the Repubs are playing a different game (not civilized, not fair, don't give a damn about anything but $$$)
Voters needed to see some results before elections. Thanks to everyone who pushed for Justice all these years, despite all odds. We were not successful, but history will prove us right & honorable. #JusticeMatters
You're killin' me. Hope burns still. As far as the archive, there is no way it gets torched. The torches are for Charlottesville type demonstrations. This year begins with a 2. Mr. Smith's report will be in the cloud. It won't die. Meantime, go read his last pleading in the Jan. 6 case. Beautiful!
Honestly this style of action is what he always does. Delay is his go to. This report will never see the light of day unless it is leaked (the leaker will likely meet with an unfortunate accident - ain’t no window high enough).
We know that if Jack Smith's report isn't released now to the public that #ConvictedFelonTraitorTrump will destroy the report as soon as he is installed in the White House.
If this isn't the stuff of banana republics then I don't know what is. The orange fat bastard buffalo will eventually take it to SCOTUS and have it blocked permanently. The sad thing is that it's his MAGA "poor uneducated voters" that are paying for all his legal fees. Bloody idiots and morons.
Don’t we legally have the right to sue for it. If that happens. We paid for the special counsel with our taxes. So we have the right to the report we paid for.
The whole system is broken!!! Nothing is going to happen to that orange clown! Let them burn it to the ground then we can start over with sane people that have a modicum of intelligence and integrity!
Maga: make America GAG again!
Smith and/or Garland could bravely and defiantly leak the report to a journalist today and Biden could then preemptively pardon whomever - obviously far-fetched and out-of-character for at least Garland and Biden. But this may paradoxically be the only way to save our system from de-facto collapse.
Question: does Cannon have jurisdiction over the DC part of the report? I suspect Garland wasn’t going to release any of it anyway, and now he can blame Cannon in addition to the usual it’d look too political.
But can't President Biden declassify it and release it... pretty easy to make the argument that it was within 'the scope of his Presidential duties' and claim the same immunity as Trump got from SCOTUS?
As long as the presumptive POS future POTUS remains standing there will be NO ACCOUNTABILITY or release of any information that won’t be dismissed as fake media …
Every time it appears a slam dunk is coming release of details get delayed or flat out disappear … WTF people
JACK SMITH needs to be A PATRIOT AND RELEASE HIS REPORT TO MULTIPLE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS AGENCIES. SIMILAR TO THE PENTAGON PAPERS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers
Let's pray Smith and DOJ are ready to release the report the VERY SECOND the 11th circuit rules that way BEFORE the felon-elect has a chance to file with SCOTUS.
This is why I am a registered Independent and feel we need to abolish the two-party system and the Electoral College. The Democratic Party is the classic example of the Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight. They are squandering every opportunity to take back our country from the MAGITS. Weaklings!
Biden could release it himself since he has immunity for official acts or he could have Garland release it and give him a pardon. It’s really up to Biden.
Doesn't President Biden know where we are at now? Doesn't VP Harris know that too? I can't believe that they are still following the book at this point, amazing.
I know, it's disappointing that elected democrats didn't bother to pressure Garland to prosecute Trump on Jan7, a day after the insurrection. And then, there's Elmo, meddling in the elections, and same, nobody said anything.
Trump will never be held accountable for J6 and it's largely the fault of the main stream media for normalizing him as a legitimate candidate to run this country.
Pretty sure that's the plan. He has filed bogus bs for years to delay shit. To not only cheat his way out of his crimes but also to cheat the people he owes until they give up, too broke to keep fighting. I despise that asshole. 🤬
SCOTUS has given the President unlimited powers so could Biden submit an EO for Garland to release it as it deals with a clear and present danger to the United States??
She can block a release to the all powerful president as deemed by SCOTUS? Time for Biden to do what’s right and release this thing. Pardon himself or whatever. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The DOJ has traditionally been insulated from the presidency, but since this scotus ruling it’s all up in the air. He should use SCOTUS’s ruling to his advantage, IMO
I'm not a lawyer so please help me understand: how is can a judge keep a sitting POTUS from seeing any document? And if that is legitimate, was there not a way for a judge to have blocked trump seeing certain documents when he was in the WH the first time?
Someone leak that report. If the Sec Service gets off with an “oopsie”after deleting their own 1/6 texts after ordered to retain them—then leak that report.
absolutely agree—this feels like next-level game theory in action. the doj and ic clearly anticipated these stall tactics and built a multi-layered strategy to keep investigations and legal pressure alive no matter what moves the anti-democracy forces make.
Whoever is in charge of releasing should keep their finger on the “release” button and immediately release it after the 11th circuit ruling, then. Give Donnie NO time.
Start spamming Biden to get and release the report(s). SCOTUS says he can, and it would be a national service. The republic's survival depends on such actions.
Smith’s 🍑 is cooked under this new admin. He should just pack up and seek amnesty elsewhere and just release it already. Heck release it today and have Biden pardon him tomorrow.
"Judge" Cannon made this BS and most likely illegal order with just that in mind.
Induce more delay, sit back and wait, and then let the new Fascist AG at the new Fascist DOJ kill and destroy the Report.
I'm so sick and tired of this shit. I don't have words...
Just release the damn thing. Screw all these legal challenges. Just "accidentally" post it to some online site where people can grab it. Or better yet, Biden should order it be released.
Technically? Because cannon blocked garland from giving the report to Biden, too. But I’m pretty sure the POTUS can order garland to give it to him. And that would be an official act. It’s not a Biden kind of thing to do, though.
Or do the old fashioned thing and LEAK IT. Or, use the SCOTUS ruling about POTUS immunity and have Biden release it himself. Get down and dirty. Take no prisoners. End the era of out of date “democratic norms” only one party is playing.
Biden can just release it anyway though, in defiance of this corrupt SCOTUS. He can even claim it is an official act, and then it can get litigated until he dies.

Presidential Immunity slapped back at them 101.
Right after Pardon Smith and everyone involved.
I mean, how bad is an "oops, our bad!" for the outgoing Biden Administration anyway?
The coup had many tentacles.
I hate to say it, but the madness currently infecting the world will likely lead to a war that wipes us all from Earth.
@youranonnews.bsky.social
The only question now is how long before the "Shock and awe" campaign.
1 Dachau, or 1 Scaramucci?
Or, allow the report to disappear. The choice is Biden's.
…I know people are still clinging to norms, but goddamnit is that frustrating now!
Maga: make America GAG again!
Just a reasonable amount of awareness and proactivity is all we ask for.
It is unforgivable if this report gets shelved.
Every time it appears a slam dunk is coming release of details get delayed or flat out disappear … WTF people

Enough already.
There’s gotta be one DOJ staffer who will take one for the country.
Hoard canned food, med supplies, guns and ammo.
outrage as Trump’s name in the Epstein files!

He will soon be shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
Induce more delay, sit back and wait, and then let the new Fascist AG at the new Fascist DOJ kill and destroy the Report.
I'm so sick and tired of this shit. I don't have words...
Honestly playing by traditional rules has failed!
RELEASE THE REPORT
Send copies far and wide.
There hahah
Biden can just release it anyway though, in defiance of this corrupt SCOTUS. He can even claim it is an official act, and then it can get litigated until he dies.
Time to play their rules for once…
Clearly, he is NOT innocent and it does NOT exonerate him.
Here's to the HERO who will ensure the Report is "leaked".
