The motion was always bullshit. They’re just hoping to stall until after the election.

Yes and no. Barr is using the filing and thus the need to review and rule upon such as a means of further delaying the case, but he ultimately wants to put the kibosh on the whole thing by abusing the fuck out of the Westfall Act. The plan is to sub the US in for Donny on the case, then almost immediately file for dismissal on the grounds that the federal gov’t cannot be sued for slander.

And even if the court should bring the gavel down on his head and tell him to fuck off, he’s likely to file with SCOTUS to put a hold on the case while they decide whether or not to grant a writ of mandamus. That’s means more time spent arguing in front of judges, more time waiting for decisions, and more time on the consequences of those decisions. Ultimately he’s not likely to prevail, but even in failure he’ll be eating up time on the clock.
