Something is starting to smell really rotten about this proceeding. Apparently the judge is a Trump appointee who is now claiming without evidence that Hunter Biden’s lawyers pretended to be opposition lawyers to get things that should be sealed placed under seal, and still refuses to seal those things.

    Yeah, even most of the judges he appointed, who he no doubt hoped would be in his pocket forever, seem to recognize that supporting Trump, the way he’d like to be supported, in an actual legal proceeding, would be weapons-grade stupid for them. Trump has an outside chance at another 4 years, maybe, whereas these judges are on the bench for life in most cases, and most of them get that they’ll have to be able to operate in future administrations rather than burn their careers for this dumbdumb the way he gets his lawyers to do.
