Is this set in stone, that the tape won't be played for the jury?

I thought they could decide that later, as events unfold. I am sure there is more than one witness to this tape investigation, and maybe they didn't all agree... I suppose it will come down to the definition of "showed". Trump probably waived the papers about at the table, and from where they were sitting, maybe the witnesses couldn't read the text. But maybe one witness did notice that it had classified markings. Or not. We'll know more later, I suppose.

Even if the witness says "I was not shown a classified doc", that can mean a number of things. That the doc was not classified, even though it was not supposed to be shown to the witness, or that it was, but the witness was not aware of it. Or that the witness is lying, or that the witness has a particular definition of the word "showed".

Wasn't it theoretically a conceptual battle plan for Iran if something triggered a war?  How would that not be classified?[/quote]

It was, and two sources confirm its significance: Trump's own words, and Meadows' own book, recounting the exact same scene.
This makes Trump defense stuck between a rock and a hard place, because either they argue Trump lied about what he was holding in his hand, Trump was confused, or Trump did share a national defense doc, which is illegal. NONE of these three scenarios make him electable.

Also, while Trump is not currently charged with holding this particular document, I have no doubt that he will be shortly. Everything points to Jack Smith preparing an indictment for the New Jersey Bedminster stuff.[/quote]
