Summary

Episode 1020!

It's time for a round of Trump updates, starting in Florida with the responses to Judge Aileen Cannon's weird request that the parties try making up new law that she could try out on a jury if this case ever finally makes it to one. Is Jack Smith's response to this nonsense everything we'd wanted? And what happens when you actually try to sit down read anything that the Trump defense team has filed as if it were a serious legal document? We then turn to recent legal developments in New York, where a subprime auto lender has totally failed to post Trump's bond and Judge Merchan finally had to get around to putting in writing that the world's most famous criminal defendant isn't allowed to go after his family.

1. Trump's response to Judge Cannon's order
2. Jack Smith's response to Judge Cannon's order
3. 18 USC Sec 793 (Espionage Act)
4. Presidential Records Act
5. Trump's opposition to motion to clarify gag order
6. Judge Marchan's order expanding gag order
7. Judge MacAfee's denial of motion to dismiss Fulton County charges on 1st Amendment grounds
