Meanwhile, from the president: He's quoting Dershowitz talking to Tucker on Fox News about Mueller, and asking, with a question mark, whether "the whole thing" was "illegally ... set up."pic.twitter.com/fkyd91AVZr

JUST IN: Here's the link to Andrew Miller's DC Circuit brief challenging Robert Mueller's authority to subpoena him to appear before the grand jury —> https://www.scribd.com/document/388401221/Miller-DCCirBrief …pic.twitter.com/UyuP9VchNk
Per the DC Circuit's automated system, Miller's lawyer was about a minute and a half late. (Won't likely make a difference for Miller, technically, but the court knows and his lawyer has certainly not made a good showing these past few days.)pic.twitter.com/czakTq2k9h
Sasha suggests Miller's lawyer might need to get another 90-second extension so that he will have filed in time.https://twitter.com/ssamcham/status/1039728937264472067 …
In short, what a shitshow. And we've not even gotten to the argument yet.
So, yeah, the brief *definitely* does not comport with the court's rules.pic.twitter.com/zedmtba6u3
Former Roger Stone Associate Asks The DC Circuit To Toss Out A Contempt Order Against Him In A Challenge To Mueller —>https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/mueller-roger-stone-associate-asks-court-toss-out-contempt …
Update: At 4:34a, Miller’s lawyer filed an “ERRATA,” with a (presumably) corrected version of his brief. Two minutes later, he also filed an Appendix. (I’ll upload them shortly.)pic.twitter.com/r1JWcA0Jki
More: The errata fling added 23 pages to the document. It, the appendix, and the original filing all are now included and available in my story. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/mueller-roger-stone-associate-asks-court-toss-out-contempt …pic.twitter.com/CBDNktSRAb
Update: The DC Circuit modified the "errata" filing by Andrew Miller's lawyer in his appeal of the contempt order to characterize it as a "corrected appellant brief." https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/mueller-roger-stone-associate-asks-court-toss-out-contempt …pic.twitter.com/9xuRtcGXfi
Wait, there’s no cover page?
No cover, no TOC, no TOA. I don't know what's specifically required under DC Circuit rules, but this is ... incomplete on its face.
Um. We can start with Rule 28 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. It's not hard to see the problem.pic.twitter.com/SMcTqHz7dX
I also don't see a certificate of compliance (with the word count, etc.). This is not going to go well.
It's soooo baddddd. @gabrielmalor has been adding his notes, too.
They very likely will be able to file a corrected version that cleans all this up, so that the copy ultimately given to the judges will not be a mess. But in a case like this, especially with the wacky extension motion from yesterday, I bet they’ll know the warted history.
My heart goes out to the associates on this matter. Not a fun situation.
Per the signature block and references in other filings seeking extensions, he is a “sole practitioner.”
Thanks Chris, I will sleep better knowing no associates were harmed in the making of this filing.
Judge "Bate's" may disagree
Is that like the Bate's Motel?pic.twitter.com/WVtNo0gRCT
