All Things Trump: the story continues...

FBI must comply:
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ruled the DOJ must turn over the redacted version by next Thursday at noon. The affidavit will remain sealed during any appeals, he said.

Reinhart also unsealed more minor documents containing general information at the hearing.

The Justice Department argued during a hearing on Thursday afternoon that redacting the affidavit would leave no information of substance to release, and noted that the search itself and release of the warrant last week had created a volatile situation leading to death threats against FBI agents.

Trump &/or his lawyers have a copy of the affidavit and warrant. Surely they could release it tomorrow if they had a mind to?

Liz Cheney:
She's good at making the argument and can take the case in a GOP primary to Republicans, who don't normally get that point of view from their preferred sources of information.

If she runs, she will battle to be on a debate stage with Trump, but that's highly unlikely to happen because Trump controls the levers of power in the party right now. But she can do retail campaigning and will command lots of media attention.

She's also open to an independent bid for president. Which way that could cut is less known. Again, she wouldn't win the White House, but if her candidacy is seen as likely to legitimately take votes away from Trump, it's something she would likely seriously consider.

It's a strange day when the abortion hating, climate change denying, anti-welfare, fossil fuel loving hawkish militarist Cheney is seen as the 'sensible' alternative to Trump.

Hmm, I don't think she would be any worse than Reagan. She would just veto every bill and concentrate on foreign policy.

"Eric Trump took a selfie and posted it to his Truth Social page. But, because he’s Eric, he didn’t notice that the photo also included the studio’s WiFi network and password....yes, the same WiFi network and password for the Mar-a-Lago security cameras."

So her selling point is that she's the continuity candidate who'll maintain the shithole nation in its current, post-Trump shitty state but won't make things any shittier than they already are.

Sounds good. If the alternative is Trumpian.

Nah. The US is Trumpian now - Cheney just offers a consolidation of Trumpism 1.0 while The Donald offers a new, improved Trumpism 2.0.

Elsewhere: "Yes, he really demanded that the government return the documents to him so that he could return the documents to the government even though he didn't give the documents to the government when he had the chance and he didn't actually have any documents anyway because the ones the government took were planted by the government."
