An on-going thread of Trump's Legal woes

Judge (Aileen Cannon) denies efforts by Trump co-defendants to see classified material they allegedly helped conceal at Mar-a-Lago

https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/27/politics/mar-a-lago-trump-codefendants-classified-records/index.html

The judge presiding over the Mar-a-Lago documents case on Tuesday denied efforts by Donald Trump’s co-defendants to view the classified records they allegedly moved around the former president’s Florida residence for him.

This would have been a fine delay opportunity, what gives Aileen?

Cannon found that prosecutors had “made a sufficient showing at this stage” that a review by Nauta and De Oliveira of classified documents would not be useful in building up their defense in the case.

Well, duh. It’s a slam dunk Cannon. He should be in jail already.

That whole thing is ridiculous. I fail to see how their personal relationship has anything to do with the case they’re trying. In what way could it disadvantage Trump?

It doesn’t… they are really just grasping at straws here. No doubt that they are also aware that Willis will have greater scrutiny on her, since she’s a Black woman, in a high profile position that won her election based on her argument about corruption in the Fulton DAs office…

This isn’t directly one of Trump’s legal woes, but it’s almost certainly related. And it’s hopefully going to turn into someone else’s legal woes when they get caught.

Was the return address Jr? He might be looking for it.

Oh no, that’s absolutely directly related to Trump’s case.

He got some powder of his own earlier, according to the article.

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., was sent an envelope containing a death threat and white powder at his home in Florida on Monday.

I read this story and saw the photo and thought Denny Crane. Wtf is with these lawyers.

I know that by SCOTUS standards this is taking place on an accelerated schedule but it sure would have been nice if they’d definitively settled the “immunity” thing a couple of years ago instead of scheduling a hearing that will rule on the question less than six months before the damned election.

This headline has serious crash-blossom vibes. At first I thought it was saying that the judge sent someone an envelope of white powder, and I was like, “That makes no sense?”

He’s got a new word.

All Presidents, or people wanting to become President, should mandatorily take this test! forced to give up their tax return to prove there is no conflict of interest(s) and be disqualified if proven to be foreign asset.

Fixed it for the dumb and deluded original poster.

The need to be a test for COGNITIVE competency tells a lot about the test taker, not talking about a seated president

“I totally aced my senility test!” is such a stupid thing to brag about, especially years after the fact. It’s like passing a roadside drunk test after getting pulled over and then crowing about it like you got a perfect score on the SATs.

Closing today… I don’t think the defense were able to prove anything, frankly, but we’ll see if the judge agrees…

And maybe the date for the documents case will be in August? The Guardian has a live feed:

No date set today…

Cannon has, however, stressed that there needs to be “some space” in the schedule leading up to the trial to “allow for flexibility,” particularly around the procedures for deciding how classified information will be handled in the case.

Deciding how classified information will be handled in the case??? WTF There are established procedures to use. Have been. Always will be. THERE IS NO DECIDING AROUND THEM!

We knew the fix was in but this is blatant bullshit.
