Trump expressed concern that returning classified docs after subpoena could result in criminal charges, according to sealed notes - ABC News
Donald Trump expressed concern that turning over classified documents after a May 2022 subpoena could result in criminal charges, according to notes reviewed by ABC News.
Judge Aileen Cannon is considering tossing out the notes as evidence.
Proof he knew what he was doing was wrong and his arguments that he declassified them all are bullshit.
Those arguments were always bullshit. He never went through the process of declassifying them. We also already know that he bragged to a reporter that he had classified documents. So he knew he had them, he knew he should not, and he knew he would get in legal trouble if he gave them back.
It is my understanding that the statues that he's being charged under do not depend on the classification of the documents. The problem is that the documents belonged to the government and were not returned upon multiple requests. Therefore, even if the documents were declassified, which they were not, the same charges could still be brought against him.
Agreed, what I'm saying is these notes apply to state of mind. He knew he was acting illegally and did it anyway.
I wonder who is still surprised by all this. Convicted felon who wants to play the dictator with a projection of a space Laser....
Did they actually use the phrase "hide the evidence or we could get caught", or was that just how I picture the conversation?
Why can't news say "wanted to hide evidence to avoid punishment"?
Judicial oversight is a thing at some point, right?
Just judicial overlook.
Nope
Who watchesthe Watchmen? No one. We're on the authoritarian speedtrain.

It says a lot about her that it's not immediately apparent whether or not that's a joke inventing comically blatant corruption or something she's actually considering 😮💨🤦
Can anybody with actual knowledge of law explain why the prosecutors should be allowed to use Trump’s lawyer’s notes against Trump in this case? Seems like it would make sense that it isn’t allowed.
