Again overnight, the dozens of former US prosecutors (both Ds and Rs) have filed a muscular brief to oppose Tangerine’s efforts to avoid the natural consequences of flauting dozens of criminal (federal felony) statutes, through wholly-supine USDC Judge Aileen Cannon’s unhinged trial court rulings. To re-tool a long out of date phrase (since we’ve already referenced Abbott and Costello this morning!)… it is a… HUMDINGER! Heh.

Do go read all 29 pages — but this is the main theme. It is clearly correct; Tangerine will lose this appeal:

…The district court’s order repeatedly granted the plaintiff in this case, former President Donald J. Trump, procedural rights and protections that are not afforded to other criminal defendants and subjects of criminal investigations. This special treatment of one private citizen by virtue of his former status runs contrary to well-established caselaw. But, even more important, the analysis employed by the district court is antithetical to the central principle in this country that everyone should be treated equally by the law….

[In addition,] well-established caselaw… holds that a threat of future prosecution and potential reputational injury is never sufficient to establish irreparable injury….

In the decades of experience Amici collectively have in state and federal law enforcement, Amici have never observed a court treat the subject of a criminal investigation with such solicitude simply because the subject used to be a public official. In Amici’s experience, it is critical to the rule of law that the subjects of criminal investigations be treated equally, regardless of their former occupation….

Now you know. With the “grown folk’s pumpkin carving competition” tomorrow afternoon, and a pot roast feast, thereafter! I think there will be martinis — too, but I’ll have a fine root beer float. Grinning, here….
