Episode notes
Weak Filing Undermines Delay Strategy
- Michael Popok explains Trump's one-page filing lacked legal analysis and case law and functioned as a political protest rather than a legal objection.
- That omission undermines Trump's ability to block disclosure and strengthens the judge's decision to unseal the appendix.
One-Page Objection Cited Media, Not Law
- Michael Popok recounts Trump filing a single-page objection that repeated prior arguments and cited media commentators instead of case law.
- He frames this as abdication of a chance to tell his side before voters and as a legal misstep.
Judge Signals Public Disclosure Is Imminent
- Judge Chutkin granted the government's proposed redactions and signaled she would post the appendix to the public docket unless an appellate stay intervened.
- That makes immediate public access to the government's evidence likely within days if no higher court stops it.
