"Special Master Dearie is required to issue his report and recommendation to Judge Cannon by December 16. After that, the parties would have the opportunity to object to Judge Cannon and, if necessary, the 11th Circuit," he added. "That process would take months to play out. I cannot imagine the 11th Circuit allowing this circus to continue until Dec. 1, and that’s part of why I expect that the 11th Circuit will promptly overrule Judge Cannon, ending the entire process."

As for what comes after, the legal analyst speculated Trump's lawyers would quickly run to the Supreme Court for relief and will be promptly rebuffed.

"As soon as that happens, I expect that newly appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team will indict former President Trump on multiple counts," he wrote. "I expect that the indictment would be issued from the District Court for the District of Columbia. The crimes related to the removal and retention of national security documents in violation of the Espionage Act were arguably committed when Trump removed them from the White House, making D.C. a possible venue for an indictment on those charges."

Trump keeps making their job easier: At some point you have to save yourself and withdraw from representing the guy. And speaking of looming disasters: GOP RIP. Are we living in a hellscape where corporations ARE the government and write the laws, and nobody told me? Because last time I looked Apple doesn't have a private legal system with judges, jails, prosecutors, and cops. Nor does it have a private legislature with the power to tax or pass enforceable laws.

I'll freely admit I had to look it up:

Epic Games v. Apple is a lawsuit brought by Epic Games against Apple in August 2020 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, related to Apple's practices in the iOS App Store. Epic Games specifically had challenged Apple's restrictions on apps from having other in-app purchasing methods outside of the one offered by the App Store. Epic Games' founder Tim Sweeney had previously challenged the 30% revenue cut that Apple takes on each purchase made in the App Store, and with their game Fortnite, wanted to either bypass Apple or have Apple take less of a cut. Epic implemented changes in Fortnite intentionally on August 13, 2020, to bypass the App Store payment system, prompting Apple to block the game from the App Store and leading to Epic filing its lawsuit. Apple filed a countersuit, asserting Epic purposely breached its terms of contract with Apple to goad it into action, and defended itself from Epic's suit.

The trial ran from May 3 to May 24, 2021. In a September 2021 ruling in the first part of the case, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers decided in favor of Apple on nine of ten counts, but found against Apple on its anti-steering policies under the California Unfair Competition Law. Rogers prohibited Apple from stopping developers from informing users of other payment systems within apps. Epic has appealed the ruling.

There is also a lawsuit pending in Australia.  I keep telling you guys these are international business concerns. 

Anyway, NOT an example of a "tax." Or a deep dark mystery.  

Due to the level of interest in this case, this site has been created to notify the media and public of procedures and rules for admission to proceedings, as well as access to case information.
That's on a webpage maintained by the 9th Circuit simply for the filed pleadings/rulings in the Epic appeal.  Oral arguments, by the way, have been postponed until further notice, as of 10/15/22.

I did all that with just Google and about 10 seconds.

And since we've wandered into Elmo country:
No, going to Elmo is keeping the topic on Trump, or Trump adjacent: See what you did, Tim Cook? You and your vicious conspiracy against free speech! Or maybe Elmo fired everybody in payroll and put a bot in charge.... Another secret ploy by Apple! Meanwhile (yes, I'm stuffing the sausage), in Arizona: "Whole world"? Even Texas is bigger than Arizona. More populous, too. But we don't have those cool cacti,…🌵  Ummmmm..... Still my favorite:

"I will not repeat your election crimes," Rosco said. "I will just say, not certifying the machines constitutes a form of interference and in case no one has enlightened you people, interference in an election in the United States of America, Mr. Gates, is a capital offense; it's considered treason punishable by the death penalty!"

The woman demanded a "new 2022 state election not run by the people at this desk."

"The voting booth is supposed to be a time for a peaceful revolution," she added. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution necessary."
Donald Trump's in a lot more trouble in Georgia than I thought.
