Oh God. I just read the Loose Cannon decision denying Trump’s “I can do what I want” defense re: the stolen documents. It’s bad:

Although the Motion raises various arguments warranting serious consideration, the Court ultimately determines, following lengthy oral argument, that resolution of the overall question presented depends too greatly on contested instructional questions about still-fluctuating definitions of statutory terms/phrases as charged, along with at least some disputed factual issues as raised in the Motion. For that reason, rather than prematurely decide now whether application of 18 U.S.C. § 793(e) in these circumstances yields unsalvageable vagueness despite the asserted judicial glosses, the Court elects to deny the Motion without prejudice, to be raised as appropriate in connection with jury-instruction briefing and/or other appropriate motions.

Translated from legalese: “He makes a good argument, but now isn’t the time to resolve it because it depends on other things that haven’t yet been proven.” In other words: Delay, delay, delay. Fuck this, fuck everything, this system is broken.
