DOJ Moves for Contempt as Injunction Finally Lifted

I’m in transit and Google Fi is being useless so won’t say much about the two developing stories in the stolen document case.

But as WaPo and CNN are reporting, DOJ has asked Beryl Howell to hold Trump’s office in contempt for refusing to certify their searches for classified documents.

I guess my instinct that yesterday’s serial disclosures about additional stolen documents was just a cover story turned out to be correct.

Meanwhile, the 11th Circuit’s order vacating the Special Master order will now go into place and over the next day, DOJ will finally get the ability to question Trumpsters about the unclassified documents interspersed with classified documents.
