Contrary to what you might read on Axios, DOJ is not filing an Emergency Appeal on Jia Cobb's Guard deployment order BECAUSE of the shooting. They noticed their appeal on Tuesday.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Kash is wrong. According to some of the criminal cases already charged, other-state Guard are operating under their governor's authority. These were WV officers, far from home.
Keystone Kash blows it again: The perpetrator that he’s going to use all available resources to track down in the DC guardsman shooting is already in the hospital. Idiot.

Remember that the Guard were originally deployed to DC to avenge Big Balls, who is meanwhile rifling through all our Social Security data.
AND ALSO, on Nov 20, Jia Cobb ruled the Guard deployment was illegaly, but stayed her decision until December 11.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
