I think the girlfriend is indeed scared, and is appealing to drag it out. During an appeal, I don’t think they are able to release evidence, which the list would be. She’s probably the last person in the world to want it released.
The incessant attacks on Trump about seeking absolute power, wanting to be king, etc. are getting very old. Sure, he has an enormous ego, which he’s managing quite well this term, and is a very useful asset dealing with all sorts of issues and sociopathic, murderous world actors who wish us and the free world extremely ill. He’s looking for ENOUGH power to deal with the catastrophic messes the previous, wildly incompetent, stupidly ideologically driven, pandering, and flagrantly dishonest administration created or allowed to develop, while the irrational far left tries to frustrate pretty much everything he does. He’s the executive and he’s executing, using a lot of common sense, enforcing laws, and doing it with actual executive skill. Wow, we haven’t had much of that for a few years, and it’s still pretty scarce in the blue state governments - I’m living with it in western Oregon, and it’s stupidity on steroids.
