Stephen Miller's legal group seeks Mar-a-Lago judge's permission to float 'unlawful abuse of executive authority' claim about National Archives

A legal group headed by former Trump White House senior advisor Stephen Miller asked the judge in the Mar-a-Lago prosecution on Friday for permission to participate in the case as an amicus curiae, or friend of the court, claiming its “expertise” in the “abuse” of the Presidential Records Act (PRA) by the National Archives (NARA) may be of assistance to the former president.

Noting that the Special Counsel’s Office and Jack Smith expressed no view on the motion, America First Legal Foundation (AFL) stated its goal was to support former President Donald Trump’s bid to throw out the Espionage Act indictment based on the PRA.

Touting its own “scholarship on” and investigations into the “weaponization” of NARA, AFL claims to have “uncovered” proof that NARA committed an “unlawful abuse of executive authority” in cahoots with the Biden White House and the DOJ.

“AFL’s investigations of NARA confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained access to the ’15 Trump boxes’ through a ‘special access request’ from the White House on behalf of the Department of Justice. Because NARA’s action, which AFL uncovered, appeared to be an unlawful abuse of executive authority, AFL requested the Inspectors General of NARA and the Department of Justice to investigate,” the motion said. “Moreover, AFL has published a white paper detailing why—as a matter of constitutional law, the PRA, and historical practice—the President has absolute authority over presidential papers.”

1. Why are any of them...

Walking free?

2. America must get more silver spikes.

From the Law and Crime version:

Noting that the Special Counsel’s Office and Jack Smith expressed no view on the motion, America First Legal Foundation (AFL) stated its goal was to support former President Donald Trump’s bid to throw out the Espionage Act indictment based on the PRA.

3. Are there any amicus curiae requests from anyone who argues that TFG did not do exactly what he is charged with?

4. Excellent question...

The facts aren’t on his side. The law isn’t on his side. The judge, though, is open for business.

One commentator at LawandCrime indicated Judge Cannon had not accepted the help of Mr. Miller and the America First Legal team when previously offered. Unfortunately, as Bush v Gore reminds us every damn day, there’s always a first time.

5. Nosferatu doesn't deserve this comparison.

He did what he needed to survive. The same cannot be said about Miller.

6. Truly, comparisons are odious.

From Google, the Googler's friend:

"Nosferatu" has been presented as an archaic Romanian word, synonymous with "vampire." However, it was largely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Western fiction such as the gothic novel Dracula (1897) and the expressionist film Nosferatu (1922).

OK. Nosferatu wants to suck the life blood out of people. Not nice, but it's a living.

Mr. Miller, OTOH, works to suck the life out of We the People and to destroy the Constitution of the United States of America. That's treason.

Thank you for the kind reminder, xmas74!
