NEW: Judge Dearie has issued his first order, and it's a doozy

It pushes the ball up the court fast & forces Trump to articulate the basis for his ridiculous claims for the return of each doc under Rule 41(g)

He's gonna be hopping mad

2. Wow. He's actually applying the law!

3. I don't think tfg can answer any of this judges questions.

Which is hysterical. I wonder what they are going to do about it.

5. That's what I was thinking. He barely knows what's in the boxes, so how will he answer

the questions???

It will be fun to read his response.

4. It's encouraging to know that my thoughts are getting to Judge Dearie.

Now I'm going to think about finding $1 million in my bank account.

6. Lots of billable hours there.......

LOTS of billable hours.

11,000 documents, and they have to respond to each one. And they have a week to do it.

Glory bee.

7. This judge doesn't like being jacked around.

It's nice to see some real judges for a change.

8. TFG should be compelled

To show up in his court and be forced to answer all of those questions.

9. LOL!

Dearie hired another Judge with Top Secret clearance to assist him at $500 an hour! I'll bet they object to that!

They'll have only 4 days to respond to the list, and it will be their only opportunity to object to the property list and such. The timeline is very, very tight. Dearie's language is terse. The Gov can hire anybody they want to meet the deadline, but Trump has only his attorneys plus whoever they can find to meet the deadline. I guess if you have a $3 million retainer, you can get somebody.

I think that we are all going to be interested in what they say about why this mess isn't in the warrant court. Could he recommend that the case be transferred to the other Court? What impact would that have? Except to get it away from Cannon?
