BREAKING: The appeals court has DENIED Trump’s effort to stop the Jan. 6 committee from getting his White House records. pic.twitter.com/bPtFHVqBc5

Judge Patricia Millett wrote a unanimous 68-page opinion for the 3-judge Court of Appeals panel convincingly rejecting Trump’s effort to block the January 6 Committee from obtaining his presidential records. Will a Trump-packed S.Ct disagree? I doubt it. https://t.co/x1HPgIMJhS

I don’t usually bring out my crystal ball, but there is no reason for SCOTUS to do anything other than let this ruling stand & permit National Archives to turnover Trump’s documents to the Jan 6 Comm. And quickly. https://t.co/kXyz1oVX1D

2021: The Coup Is On a PowerPoint
1) Mark Meadows is suing the 1/6 committee, claiming it has no "legitimate legislative purpose" in subpoenaing him for documents about Trump's coup.

I'm having some dark thoughts about this. In a hidden way, this has very ominous implications.

In May, 2022 the five year statue of limitations of Donald Trump's obstruction of justice with James Comey *EXPIRES* and he will *NOT* be able to be prosecuted for that obstruction of justice after that date.
— Don Winslow (@donwinslow) December 9, 2021
This is how Donald Trump has run out of the clock for over 50 years.
We would know if Garland was actively pursuing a 1/6 prosecution of Trump bc the issuance of grand jury subpoenas would be leaked & high level accomplices would be charged to get them to flip. He's also not done anything about any of Trump's many other, fully investigated crimes.

In May Boris Johnson said he didn't find out who paid for the Downing Street refurbishment until February 2021.
— Zarah Sultana MP (@zarahsultana) December 9, 2021
But today it's revealed that he asked a super-rich donor for extra cash for the refurbishment in November 2020.
He's a liar, in it only for himself. He should resign.

“The British Council will be stripped of its role in running the £110m Turing student exchange scheme and replaced by the outsourcing firm Capita.”
I’m disgusted. Erasmus+ has now been replaced by a private profiteering scheme. https://t.co/RpgtJDiajd
Brexit voters need to ask themselves if it’s just possible that, given Johnson has lied to them about everything else, could he have lied to them, too, about Brexit?
