That sounds pretty cold and boring but when you find the right person to tell the story... it is anything but... and that person is NOT me. I add commentary but leave the hefty nuance to the experts. I have debilitating brain fog so please, if I missed something...add it in a comment. I would like this to be a fairly comprehensive depository (repository? Is online storage a deposit?) of information, albeit not as professionally done as some might like.
Before you begin, know that tRUMP was filing late, had a lawyer, M. Evan Corcoran, file for him but it is a jumbled mess and... he is filing Pro Se... which literally means he is REPRESENTING HIMSELF! His struggle to find lawyers is also very real.

I cracked up a couple of times , so if you love a sense of humour yet, still want the facts and "telling it like ot is,"then this is your girl: https://twitter.com/Teri_Kanefield/status/1561851813422252033
I have not read Emptywheel's analysis, but she is usually good for the cold hard facts, even though she sucks at nuance. And like me can get bogged down and be too literal , but man, she notices things no one else can , especially in huge document filings. Think of it as a more forensic analysis when no one else seems to know what is going on. https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1561817258309156864

My take away in non legalese is TRUMP's BEING An ASSHOLE Again; hmmm... that might have been a better title. Here is the timeline to refresh your meme-ories. (I forgot, "Sure we got a subpoena, but we basically ignored it")
CNN Clown Hall Questions:
COLLINS: Did you ever show those classified documents to anyone? tRUMP: “Not really. I would have the right to.”
COLLINS: What do you mean? tRUMP: “Not that I can think of… I have the absolute right to do whatever I want with them.”

UPDATE 81
Judge Cannon dismisses tRUMP classified docs case
How are all of those checks and balances working out for you, America? I always read that they worked imperfectly, but if this is a system "working," I hate to see it when it fails entirely as it hands tRUMP the presidency again. (I think these 81 updates give plenty of reason for any disdain or rebuke) I know the people who followed their oath and care about the US national security and watched this fiasco are feeling even MORE gutted and unsafe today. (I am Canadian and I FEEL SICK! You guys sneeze, and we catch a cold...)
I truly thought that Judge Cannon would not have the GALL to cite Thomas, who disregarded the judicial precedence of over a hundred years to send a signal to Cannon that he had a way out for tRUMP.
And yet, she cited him 5 times in her 93 page POS dismissal of the case. (A reminder again that the GQP have captured the judicial system and the next election may be ruled by the courts again...see 2001...)
YES! Yes and hell yes!
Judge Thomas said I could, Nyag, Nyah
I broke down the 93 pages for you in that title, but you can read it here is you are a sucker for punishment. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652.672.0_3.pdf
The POS CRIMINAL LOSER responds...
Note that he is pivoting from his divisive and scaremongering rhetoric to a soothing "strong" tRUMP who, although practically unscathed, will attempt to Ronald Reagan his way back into office as a survivor...and a kind man who is setting up a fund for the victims at his rally... Hey Clarence,and Crow, are you listening?
