RIP Queen Liz, DOJ Appeals 'Special Master' Decision, 'Red Sermon' Polls Poorly

Anybody who sees, hears, or feels (can't leave out the blind brail users can we?) knows that yesterday Queen Elizabeth the second died, leaving the fate of the Monarchy to her son, the new King Charles the whatever. I don't have a lot to say except that, in Elizabeth, the English got far better than they deserved. She was good enough to make the monarchy seem appealing.

As we expected, the DOJ has filed an appeal to Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling allowing a so called 'special master' to decide which items taken in the Mar-a-Lago panty raid we properly taken and which were protected by legal and executive privileges. WaPoo whines that the Justice Dept. seeks to regain access to classified Mar-a-Lago documents, "As they noted their plans to appeal, prosecutors said they must be able to access classified documents to determine if there are more to be found"  Herr Professor Jacobsen at LI, Mar-a-Lago Raid: Feds Ask Judge To Partially Stay Special Master Order, Will Appeal If Don’t Get Their Way  "“the government seeks a stay to the extent the Order (1) enjoins the further review and use for criminal investigative purposes of records bearing classification markings … and (2) requires the government to disclose those classified records to a special master for review.”" 

The feds continued to leak like crazy after the order, in a form of lashing out, getting the word out to The Washington Post that some of the documents related to a foreign government’s nuclear program (the leak didn’t say that such documents were classified). For years during Russia Collusion attacks, whenever there was a news cycle that might help Trump in the public eye, the feds leak something to grab back the news cycle; that tactic seems to be renewing itself.

Regardless, the feds were not happy with the result, and filed a Motion for a Partial Stay Pending Appeal with Judge Cannon. Procedurally, they have to ask the District Court for a stay before seeking a stay in the appeals court. That certainly will happen if Judge Cannon turns them down.

At PM, Biden admin appeals judge's order of special master for seized Mar-a-Lago docs. Sundance at CTH, Justice Dept Appeals Order to Appoint Special Master, Threatens Judge to Shop for Friendly Court, Demands No Party Outside DOJ Should Have Right to See or Review Their Identified Classified Documents They really don't want anyone, however qualified, to see what those documents really contain. It's almost like they might contain evidence of wrong doing by higher ups in the DOJ and FBI.

Matt Vespa at Town Hall thinks It Sure Seems the Biden DOJ Is Leaking Fake News Stories to the Liberal Media.  Mike Davis @mrddmia, "Dear America: Here’s Biden’s “criminal” (political) case against Trump, through November 8th: - Leak. - Clutch pearls. - Leak. - Clutch pearls. - Leak. - Clutch pearls." Responding to Bill Barr's statement that Trump had no business carrying off "secret" documents to Mar-a-Lago, Margo Cleveland ask Has The Trump Raid Made Bill Barr Forget All About Deep-State Deceit? Do not trust the DOJ or FBI when it comes to telling the truth about Trump; they have lost all credibility. At ET, Trump: FBI Photos of ‘Top Secret’ Documents Were a ‘Set Up’. It's obvious that the photo was staged. If the documents were "scattered", why are they all in the same orientation?

Cutie Pavlich at Town Hall claims Hillary Clinton Lies About Her Mishandling of Classified Information. I can shave six words off that headline.

At Town Hall, Sister Toldja offers Prayers for Jonathan Turley After His Definitive Takedown of Hillary’s Latest ‘but My Emails’ Defense. Turley didn't (and won't) kill himself. 

At WaPoo, Prosecutors seek details from Trump’s PAC in expanding Jan. 6 probe, "Investigators are seeking documents about Trump’s political fundraising in the wake of his false claims about the 2020 election." Pure legal harassment. 

Stacey Lennox at PJ Media finds Support for Impeaching President Biden Is Growing Ahead of the Midterms. At WaEx, Paul Bedard Most want Biden impeached, see GOP dropping ball

In a new Rasmussen Reports survey, voters by a margin of 52%-42% support impeachment. That includes 77% of Republicans, 50% of independents, and 32% of Democrats. But in a related question about Republican promises to make good on impeachment threats, expectations for action are down on the chances the GOP will follow through. Rasmussen found that 47% believe it is likely that the Republicans in the House will vote to impeach versus 43% that don’t. A third of Republicans said it was unlikely that the GOP would vote to impeach.

Sundance at CTH, Arizona Governor Candidate Kari Lake Responds to a Question About Being Donald Trump’s Running Mate. Nope. But takes a nice swipe at the media.

He continued, "Now, the other thing that happened interestingly in August -- on August 6, 2020, this is when Senator Grassley and I both got unsolicited [FBI] briefings that were later -- that were later leaked to The Washington Post for the purpose of smearing me. So I would argue the FBI has not only interfered in the 2020 election, they've interfered in this Wisconsin U.S. Senate election by smearing me through that leak to The Washington Post.
