He’s on tape bragging about all this stuff and we still have to say “allegedly.” |
He still has no clue what the President can do and can’t do and how it all works. He can’t just declassify a piece of paper, he has to declassify the information in the document and that information is in other copies, other documents, other formats, and there are processes for go through the whole system tagging what is declassified and what is not, redacting some content before declassifying, and so on. He couldn’t just point at a box and say I hereby declassify everything in the box. |
Trump is going to say Nuata did this all on his own.
New details of Trump Mar-a-Lago search warrant request unsealed https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/07/05/trump-classified-affidavit-unsealed-nauta-boxes/ The new version of the affidavit still keeps a number of investigative details secret. But it reveals more about what agents had learned by the time they executed the search at Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, including specifics of how security camera footage captured a key Trump aide moving boxes both before and after he was questioned by the FBI. The information fills in some blanks about the high-stakes investigation but does not substantively change the public understanding of the 38-count indictment filed last month against Trump and the aide, Waltine Nauta. The details offer a more granular account of how Nauta’s movement of boxes, caught on video, led investigators to suspect that Trump was trying to hide documents and mislead the Justice Department. |
I would love to vote republican again. But I just cant stomach Trump any more. |
Yes, but there are a couple of issues here - first is that a judge is going to want to be as deferential as possible to a criminal defendant in order to ensure that their rulings are not grounds for appeal. So if someone is saying they are working to obtain counsel in a complex case like this, the judge is going to allow that until it becomes unreasonable (which is somewhat subjective). Second is that any counsel will need to hold a security clearance or be able to obtain one. There's probably only a handful of lawyers that are cleared and barred in Florida. And Nauta on his own probably can't afford any of them. |
I voted for Republicans in the past and Trump made me Never GOP. I just can't forgive or forget. |
NBC reporting that Nauta has arrived for his arraignment and has obtained counsel. |
