Trump DOJ just suffered 'extraordinarily rare' court loss over election stunt: expert
Narrative Analysis: Name Calling
The Trump administration's move to investigate election workers in Fulton County, Georgia, hit a major roadblock as a judge quashed a Justice Department subpoena to reveal those workers' personal information.That's something that almost never happens, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN's Jake Tapper — and it reveals just how far the Trump administration's abuse of power has gotten.Elie, what message does this decision send about the Justice Department's effort here? asked Tapper.It is extraordinarily rare for a judge to block a prosecutor's subpoena, said Honig. For reference, he said, prosecutors can usually subpoena just about anything [they] want for just about any reason [they] want.The only exceptions, he said, are something where you have 0 percent chance of bringing a criminal case, or for a bad reason. And the judge here, U.S. District Judge William M. Ray II, a Trump appointee, had a straightforward problem with the subpoena: He said even if you were investigating crimes from the 2020 election, the statute of limitations on almost all federal crimes is five years. Here we are, five-and-a-half going on six years. So there's no possible way you could bring a valid criminal investigation here.While blocking subpoenas is a rare occurrence in the federal courts, Honig added, it's no longer so rare in the Trump administration.I should note, this is now the third time in the last few months that three different district court judges have blocked subpoenas, he said. And I think it just shows that DOJ is running away with its discretion. - YouTube youtu.be

One big win and three defeats for Trump in dramatic day at Supreme Court
On the second-to-last day of Supreme Court decisions for this term, the justices delivered a big win for Donald Trump. But beneath the headline-generating ruling on expansive presidential power, the court gave some indications that this particular president may not always get what he wants – and the three liberal justices may have a few unexpected allies amongst the six conservative justices on the high court.

FOR INSIDERS | The Gavel: Trump sees victory in mixed Supreme Court results
To President Trump, one victory at the Supreme Court this week mattered more than any of his defeats. “The biggest and most consequential Decision issued by the Court, by far, is the Slaughter Case,” Trump wrote Tuesady on Truth Social. It’s clear Trump isn’t happy about losing birthright citizenship. But a major ruling expanding his firing power at independent agencies seemed to mask some of the sting. Shortly after the final decisions came in, Trump laid out his conclusion for the term: “The...
