Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday spurned a request from former President Donald Trump to block the release of documents from the Trump White House to the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

The order from the high court clears the way for the National Archives to turn over to House investigators records they requested related to the breach of the Capitol by scores of Trump's supporters. President Biden waived executive privilege over the documents.

Only Justice Clarence Thomas noted that he would have granted Trump's request.

Trump asked the high court last month to stop the transfer of records to the select committee after a federal appeals court in the District of Columbia rejected his efforts to shield the documents from lawmakers.

I don’t know who Donald Trump has to advise him on these semi-legal matters, but I’m hoping Rudy Guiliani is not on that short list of people.

I can also only hope those working with Trump will have agreed not to write a book about what they didn’t years from now.
Seems the only one who hasn’t yet written a book about that firey experience would be Trump himself.

The documents are going to be provided by the National Archives. They aren’t going to say no.

Lesson: The fabulously wealthy, titled, propertied are not immune to fascist BS. In fact, they are first in line for it.

DT has always been a target of the unions, since he was a young guy. I think this is actually good for him, because he’ll never be a patsy for the Left again, not in the least way. (I could be wrong about this.)
