For three long years, a group of #police #officers and U.S. #lawmakers who have ️ #sued Donald Trump in his private capacity for his conduct on Jan. 6 ️have awaited trial

The "domino effect" of the Supreme Court’s presidential #immunity #ruling now seems poised to #disrupt the case again and potentially irk a judge who plainly expressed his desire to get the case tried before autumn.

The consolidated case is Lee v. Trump, and it is before U.S. District Judge #Amit #Mehta, a former public defender and appointee of former President Barack Obama.

Law&Crime attended the remote status conference on Tuesday and learned that the parties have continued to engage in several rounds of negotiations over evidence in discovery and that they have also issued subpoenas to entities like the U.S. Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department for records pertinent to Jan. 6.

But according to attorneys for the plaintiffs as well as attorneys for Trump, neither the Secret Service nor the Metropolitan Police Department have yet responded to subpoenas sent more than five weeks ago.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs told Mehta that the deadline they put on response for their subpoenas sent earlier this year was June 18.

A spokesperson for MPD declined to comment on pending litigation and a request for comment to the Secret Service was also declined to Law&Crime on Friday.

Mehta found this lack of responsiveness curious,
and on Tuesday he said he would reach out to the D.C. Attorney General’s Office to determine whether the subpoenas were #lost in the mail
or if the Secret Service or the MPD’s custodian of records were being #nonresponsive.

While concerned, the judge appeared determined to keep moving the civil case down the tracks and ordered the parties to disclose the names of those individuals they intend to depose or obtain declarations from
no later than Aug. 23.

As Law&Crime reported, it was in April when Mehta set down a Sept. 11 deadline for the parties to complete discovery specific to immunity issues Trump may want to raise.

“I do want to get to summary judgment briefing this fall and get this done,” Mehta said Tuesday.

Much of the discovery is publicly sourced material and so far, according to attorneys for the National Archives who attended the status conference,
the National Archives has produced 1,500 of 4,700 total documents flagged for the matter.

The records pertain to Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally at the Ellipse,
official communication between government officials about that rally,
the logistics for how Trump got to the Ellipse and left,
and communications about his speech.

No concerns over privilege issues are expected by Trump’s lawyers or the plaintiffs.

During the status conference, it was also revealed by federal prosecutors that they have received roughly 1,650 pages of records from the Interior Department
so far and that the department is on track to finish this production by Aug. 19.

Mehta has spent months holding fast to the Sept. 11 deadline,
but with so many competing deadlines in the weeks ahead,
as Law&Crime explores in every venue where Trump is charged below,
the federal judge may soon find himself woefully disappointed and, along with the plaintiffs, waiting yet again.

#Donald_Trump #cannot BE President – #cannot_run FOR president – #cannot BECOME president – #cannot HOLD OFFICE – unless #two_thirds of #Congress decides to #grant_him #amnesty for his #conduct on #January_6th."

That’s from #Will_Baude, Faculty Director of the #Constitutional_Law_Institute at the University of Chicago #Law School, 2023 presenter of the annual Scalia Lecture, and former clerk for #Chief_Justice_Roberts. He was summarizing, for The New York Times, an article he and #Professor #Michael_Stokes_Paulsen will publish next year in the #University of #Pennsylvania law review.

They insist that there is no doubt #Trump has #triggered the #disqualification aspect of #Section_3 of the 14th #Amendment, and that it should be #applied_automatically by #State_Secretaries of #State. “Section 3’s disqualification rule may and must be followed – #applied, #honored, #obeyed, #enforced, #carried_out – by anyone whose job it is to figure out whether someone is legally qualified to office.” The Federalist Society constitutional scholars say it's #automatic. If you put #Trump on the #ballot, you are #BREAKING_THE_LAW.

And as academic and theoretical and dilettantish as this all sounds, these guys think it should be made really real: “There are many ways that this could become a lawsuit presenting a vital constitutional issue that potentially the #Supreme_Court would want to hear and decide,” said Professor Paulsen.

And Paulsen is a distinguished university chair and professor of Constitutional Law and Federal Courts at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.

And #Steven_Calabresi, co-chairman of the #Federalist_Society, co-founder and co-chairman of the Federalist Society, says the Baude-Paulsen article is #a_tour_de_force that proves ..

“Trump is #INELIGIBLE TO BE ON the #ballot, and each of the 50 state secretaries of state has an #obligation to #print_ballots without his #name on them,” unquote – or they may be #SUED.

There could be enough to knock Trump off the ballot in individual states. And with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington #CREW having #successfully #sued to remove a January 6th #insurrectionist from office in #New_Mexico, there is a #guidebook on how to literally #STOP Trump before he STARTS.
