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.
This is what happens when so few lawyers will touch you that you have to resort to the ones in strip malls.
I mean I would go along with it, maliciouscompliance style.
“So you want to review the evidence?”
“Yes”
“In a secure facility?”
“Yes”
“On your own?”
“Well, maybe with my lawyer…”
“Alright, defendent will be locked up together with their lawyer according to their own wishes.”
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?
His own secure guest bathroom at a golf course.
