TOP TWEETS THIS WEEK

The first, and killer, argument that says it all. Trump has no standing -- legal entitlement -- to bring the motion in the first place, b/c he has no possessory interest in the docs. They belong in the Archives.

Quick primer on law of evidence: if he's indicted, every word he is saying now, every crazy eruption eg it was the FBI that strew the documents, will be heard by the jury, wh or not he testifies.Will be overwhelming attack on his credibility & proof of his consciousness of guilt.

Mr Cipollone, When you told the president that what he was contemplating was unlawful, what was his response?

DOJ filing at 30,000 feet:
1. Facts (11 pages): Trump's assertion he cooperated is a joke; in fact he delayed access repeatedly.
2. Law: (20 pages): first principles: THESE ARE NOT HIS RECORDS. He has no legal entitlement to challenge anything.

Judge Cannon forbidding any wi-fi or tweeting during hearing, so no news until over. Unusual, and possibly thin-skinned.

If this holds up, it's going to require the minting of a whole new area of law for the scope and boundaries of a former Pres's executive priv interests. How the hell is a Special Master supposed to call balls and strikes? This could be huge delays. I think DOJ needs to appeal.
