Supreme Court turns away Trump's appeal in dispute with House Jan. 6 panel | TheHill

The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away an appeal by former President Trump in his dispute with congressional investigators who have sought access to Trump-era records as part of a House panel's investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The court's move, which came in a brief unsigned order issued without comment, comes after the justices denied Trump's emergency request to block the transfer of his White House records from the National Archives to the House select committee, a process that began last month.
Tuesday's development formally ends Trump's legal effort to stymie lawmakers' efforts to obtain a batch of schedules, call logs, emails and other requested documents that the committee says could illuminate key circumstances surrounding the deadly Capitol riot.
The order leaves intact a lower federal appeals court ruling that found Trump's assertion of executive privilege and other legal theories unpersuasive in light of President Biden's refusal to invoke privilege, as well as the House panel's pressing task.
Trump turned to the Supreme Court in December after lower federal courts rejected his requests to halt the National Archives from passing along his administration's records. His attorneys had asked the justices to shield the disputed materials from disclosure while they considered his formal appeal.
The justices, however, rebuffed Trump's emergency request in a Jan. 19 ruling. Within hours, the Jan. 6 House committee began receiving records, a development that the panel's chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) hailed as "a victory for the rule of law and American democracy."
The court's Tuesday order marked a denial of Trump's formal request for appeal.
The Jan. 6 committee has not established a hard deadline for completing its investigation, but Thompson has said the panel hopes to wrap up by early spring.
The committee faces separate legal challenges to its investigative authority in ongoing court clashes with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, as well as Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich and post-election legal adviser John Eastman.

The wheels seem to be coming off the Trump train
Yeah, but he'll walk.
cool. no justice = no constitution = no rule of law = grass roots victimization of trumpsters.
He'll waddle
Perp walk.
No jail time is undeniable, but the truth will come out, and his followers will have even more facts to ignore/discount in his defense.
we could've become the 4th reich on 1/6/21 and trumpsters would still high five each other...
" In economics and business decision-making , a sunk cost (also known as retrospective cost ) is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs are contrasted with prospective costs , which are future costs that may be avoided if action is taken. In other words, a sunk cost is a sum paid in the past that is no longer relevant to decisions about the future. Even though economists argue that sunk costs are no longer relevant to future rational decision-making, people in everyday life often take previous expenditures in situations , such as repairing a car or house, into their future decisions regarding those properties ."
Trump sycophants have already invested so much there is virtually no evidence of wrongdoing you could show them to get them to abandon Trump. Like Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose his supporters.
We've had populist autocrats demand such loyalty in the past which not only had their followers absolving them of any wrongdoing but carrying out the most grotesque inhuman acts on their leaders behalf at their leaders command.
We even see such people today supporting the vile piece of shit murderer Putin, we really shouldn't be surprised to see the same behavior from the followers of the wannabe autocrat who said “[Putin] has done a really great job of outsmarting our country. He could not have been nicer. He was so nice. He is really very much of a leader." - Donald Trump 2014
his loyal sycophants will be facing some patriotic hurdles of conscious soon and he'll be making campaign stops on the front steps of court houses.
Yeah...straight to cellblock D.
Sorry, Greg, but he has been a dishonest scumbag his whole life. It's time for him to be held accountable.
I'm just saying we shouldn't pretend that his loyal sycophants have a conscience or are even 'conscious' since they openly mock being woke.
his supporters will pick the RNC candidates for 2022. trump's legal shit starts hitting the fan late spring and early summer. loyalist candidates face a shit or go blind dilemma with independents before the midterms.
High fiving each other and still preaching how great a democracy they live in.
The problem is that too many of his sycophants are republican law makers, governors, and other elected politicians. All trying to corrupt our country into Trump's favor.
Good to hear this. Roll on big train the rails are coming off.
hopefully on a bridge over a canyon...
Remember Trump’s election night comments? He looked so weak and frightened as he bitterly complained about being in the lead and then suddenly not being in the lead because Biden had to be cheating (of course). He was frightened because he was having visions of all the days like this that were eventually going to bury him.
Knowing what we know now, most of his calls and the like were probably done on off channels to avoid scrutiny.
He probably has other documents stashed away at other resorts...
... stuck in their sewer pipes...
The perfect prison for Trump would be one where he could see a golf course. He would end up crying on Lindel's lap during their conjugal visits.
Now that's hilarious!
So much winning. How does he handle all of this winning?
