Your honor, I would like the opportunity to interview the underaged girl accusing me of rape, privately in my basement, so we can try to reenact the crime and confirm her testamony.
It’s proof that he knew it was required all along.
While Mr. Trump’s lawyers refused to offer many details about their preferred location, they told Judge Cannon that it was “a previously approved facility at or near his residence” — an apparent reference to Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida.
The wording is key. “See, they let me keep it at my residence now, I did nothing wrong.”
No it isn’t.
When “Trump” requests something in court, his lawyer is requesting it, but not because Trump thought it would be a good idea. The attorney knows (by virtue of the charges) those documents are ones that the government mandates to be kept in secure locations, therefore he knows he wouldn’t be able to access and review them in the discovery process without a secure location.
The dude is guilty as fuck, and he totally DID know he wasn’t supposed to have those documents, but this thing isn’t evidence of that. The evidence is that he moved the documents to another location after receiving notice there was a warrant for a particular location and that there was a conspiracy to delete video footage of the move.
I’m all for pitchforks and shit when it comes to Trump, but I’d like it to be for the reasons that are factual. Let’s not just make stuff up and become…I dunno, Facebook?
