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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Proof he knew what he was doing was wrong and his arguments that he declassified them all are bullshit.
If Cannon tosses the notes, does that make her an accessory after the fact?
Yes, and to an even bigger conspiracy. It's incredible how badly she's fucking this up and it'll all come back down on her one day.
Not if he gets into the White House. Every crime they are still doing won’t matter when he doesn’t give up power this next time.
I love your optimism
She is a federal judge. Nothing will ever happen to her as long as there are 34 Republicans in the Senate.
Cannon might screw up badly enough to get the case taken away (I doubt, I'm sure her handlers are coaching her on exactly what she can get away with), but she's going to be on this bench until she gets appointed to the supreme court.
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.
