Politico notes that the appeals panel hearing our case had deep reservations about the government’s arguments, with Judge Patricia Millett asking: “Can the president then offer on eBay to sell them, all of our national security secrets, to the highest bidder?”

The government’s response was, in short, “yes.”

trumpletantrum had a staged assassination attempt to sucker fools like you into sympathy votes. And Charlie Kirk died protecting the gunmans rights to give him a much needed emergency tracheotomy.

So the same Secret Service that Biden purged, and Trump wasn't in charge of, was in on it? Biden's FBI who concluded it was a real attempt was in on it? The NYT photographer that caught the bullet in flight was in on it?

Here's the best part, and I want you to repeat it, "Brave Donald Trump schemed to have a teenager fire live rifle rounds at him from 350'. And because Trump is known to run tight-lipped, crack teams of professionals, there wasn't a single leak."

How'd that sympathy vote go BTW? A very short, single-digit bump in the polls?

You morons will believe anything Fuhrer trump tells you. It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
