[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just like to point out that since there is no evidence he declassified any documents,[b] he would actually need to take the stand to assert that as a defense.[/b] Since the espionage act does not rely on classification, that would be a very, very bad idea for any criminal defendant in this situation. He may have more hubris than a dump truck can carry, but for his sake, I sincerely hope he listens to his counsel on what testifying in his own defense will do to his chances of a successful appeal. The declassification argument is complete and utter bullshit in practice, and I wish some of the PPs would make the effort to learn about their own legal system. What you’re suggesting will be a disaster for him legally. [/quote]

He hasn't asserted it in ANY of the court pleadings to date. Too late.[/quote]

It’s not too late. He hasn’t presented a defense yet. His attorneys have been arguing over access to seized material. [/quote]for the tenth time, it doesn’t matter. The charges are based on the espionage act which does not refer to the classification system. [/quote]
That has nothing to do with my response. Did you reply to the wrong poster?[/quote]
DP. Re-read the strand. [/quote]

I am the OP of that strand. He would have to take the stand to use the “but, but I declassified them!” as a defense, but that is very risky. Even if his attorneys did not say it during the seized material filings prior to the indictment, he could still use it as a defense. It would be a terrible idea, but when’s the last time Trump let that keep him from doing it? [/quote]
