As Trump Takes Mar-a-Lago Fight To The Supreme Court Clarence Thomas Issues An Important Order To Biden’s DOJ Over Mar-a-Lago Docs

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to intervene in his legal battle over classified documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon last month ordered a special master review of the documents and blocked the Justice Department from continuing its criminal investigation into the matter.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta overturned part of her order that blocked the DOJ’s investigation into the more than 100 documents marked classified.

On Tuesday, Trump filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court arguing that the court was wrong to block the documents from the review and requesting that special master Raymond Dearie be granted authority to review the documents with classified markings.

“Any limit on the comprehensive and transparent review of materials seized in the extraordinary raid of a President’s home erodes public confidence in our system of justice,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in the 37-page filing.

In response, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has given the Biden administration until early next week to respond to a legal filing from former President Donald Trump asking that a special master assigned to the case be allowed to review dozens of documents seized in the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida.

Thomas asked that the DOJ respond to Trump’s emergency request by 5 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.

Justice Clarence Thomas is also facing calls to recuse himself from a case brought by former President Donald Trump amid an investigation of his handling of White House documents.

Many left-wing social-media users expressed concern about Justice Thomas’ potential involvement in the case, and some called for him to recuse himself from the matter.

“Retweet this if you believe that Clarence Thomas should have recused himself from acting on the Trump case,” tweeted NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss.

Lawyer Tristan Snell tweeted that “The Justice covering the 11th is… Clarence Thomas. So Thomas will hear a case that potentially implicates the January 6 insurrection plot that his wife may have participated in.”

Weird that Beschloss had no worries about Obama’s storing WH docs in an abandoned building. Beschloss is a mere shill for the left media. Just another reason the US media is viewed with such low respect. They know not journalism. Nada.

The left always calls on conservative SCOTUS Judges to recluse themselves on cases they want to be fixed. However, the Leftist SCOTUS judges never recluse themselves. This is so predictable, it could be used as evidence in a court of law.

And Ruth Bader Ginsburg was very happy to recuse herself as was Kagan and Sotopop.
And I am positive the new leftwing radical Marxist will be happy to recuse herself on all kinds of issues she championed.
