Former President Trump is asking a D.C. federal judge to block a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 Committee for records relating to Jan. 6 and the Big Lie created during his administration.
U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan for the District of Columbia is hearing arguments in the case.
Trump is trying to toss a subpoena that, if the National Archives complies, would give the House 700 pages of notes from his senior White House advisers, schedules relating to Jan. 6, and call records.
If he prevails, the case could bring a dramatic end to some of the main avenues of accountability for former presidents.

I think it’s interesting that Trump “supporters” like Alan Dersch-bag show up on Fox News and make noises like: “No one has ever tried to hold a former president responsible for trying to overthrow the government before, it’s unprecedented… which just shows this is purely political…”
But, when it comes down to the court hearing… Trump can only get a fscking strip mall lawyer… who will never be paid… to make nonsense arguments in front of the actual judge.
So is the overthrowing of a government by a POTUS unprecedented.
It’s why this case needs to go forward expeditiously, because it must never happen again. Period.
If the courts find for T****, it’s all over.
So this is a Jesse Binnall joint. He’s a nobody with what appears to be a shared workspace above a Lebanese restaurant in Alexandria. Nothing but the shittiest for Donnie Two Impeachments.
I wonder if he got a judge that Mitch picked for him if the whole insurrection thing would go down a legal rabbit-hole and become the GOP’s standard modus operandi.
So just give me the bad news now: If Chutkan says the subpoena stands and trump has no case then the next step is an appeal, right?
