    Q for the lawsplainers: What are these sealed motions in Andrew Miller's subpoena challenge? I assume one is for a stay. But the other? @Popehat @nycsouthpawpic.twitter.com/fmfnGkI6S4

        You truly lost it. Nobody cares about this minutia. When Russiagate falls apart all those that believed it will sound like the WMD advocates.

        Hi. I've cared about minutia in cases like this going back 14 years. It's actually critical to understanding what is going on--and avoiding WMD like blunders. So if I "truly lost it," it happened over a decade a go.

        Snowden & Binney exposed years ago that NSA is wallowing up all digital info. If they have something on Trump with Russia don't you think they would have used it already?

        What I think--nay know--is I know more about this case than you, in part bc I care abt the minutia, in part bc I know how US law works.

        Why don't you respond to the logic question that if Binney & Snowden independently confirmed that the NSA collects all electronic records, why do you think they can't nail Trump dead to rights over alleged Russia collusion by now?

        Why don't I respond to a question I just responded to? Hmm. Perhaps because I just responded to it.

        Being an expert on law as you claim, what is preventing the intelligence agencies from combing through ALL of Trump's emails, phone calls etc. if supposedly treason is at stake as many claim?

        If you insist on asking really stupid questions I'm happy to block you. I'm not sure you even understand what you're asking.

        That was one vicious nasty Katy Tur interview of Omarosa. Ari Melber and Nicolle Wallace would certainly have created a smooth narrative and poked around effectively. Katy's vicious air of having a liar in her grasp was stunning to watch.pic.twitter.com/rgcbrrnteG

        Not a legal talking guy but I know he was looking for transactional immunity regarding spending on PAC accounts. Maybe related to that.

        Dkt. 33, 35, and 37 are probably the briefing on Miller’s 28 USC 1292(b) motion to appeal the orders (dkt. 22 & 26) denying his motions for relief. Dkt. 34 is probably the motion for an order to show cause why Miller shouldn’t be held in contempt. 38 and 40 could be a stay?
