I was a bit surprised at the summary judgment. As you say, that means Trump's lawyers didn't have anything. Nada.

They had stuff. On the Mar-a-Lago issue, they had an expert witness who was going to give testimony that the property was worth a ton of money. The judge dismissed his conclusions as "speculative or unsupported by any evidentiary foundation," and so ignored them.

Here's a link to the order. It's not my field of law, so I might be wrong....but it seems to me like he's gone a bit beyond what's appropriate at summary judgment? Like, it sure seems like he tried the case at this stage, rather than letting the defendants present their case at trial? I am not a litigator, though, so maybe this ruling survives the inevitable appeal.
