U.S. Justice Dept asks judge to hold Trump team in contempt in documents probe -report
Reuters ^ | 12/08/2022 | Staff

The U.S. Justice Department has asked a federal judge to hold Donald Trump's office in contempt of court for failing to fully comply with a subpoena to return all classified documents in the former president's possession, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell has not yet held a hearing or ruled on the request, the newspaper reported.

One of the key areas of disagreement centers on the Trump legal team's repeated refusal to designate a custodian of records to sign a document attesting that all classified materials have been returned to the federal government, the report added.

Trump's side has taken the position that such a request is unreasonable, according to the Washington Post.

The Judge was appointed by Obama. Nobody wants to certify that all of the classified materials were turned over as it potentially could result in incarceration if the attestation is shown to be false.

That bass turd Merry Garland needs to recuse himself. Revenge against Trump for not allowing his stinky ass on the SCOTUS is not how we do things in America.

“the Trump legal team’s repeated refusal to designate a custodian of records to sign a document attesting that all classified materials have been returned to the federal government, ”

Nothing but a lame attempt to set him up for a perjury trap. As soon as he test took what they say, they will produce an extra document and said that one was not on his list. He does not have to give testimony against himself. When somebody conducts a search warrant they’re entitled to take those things hang onto them, use them, etc. But the person who the search warrant was conducted against has no obligation to do anything with your inventory.

F Troop conducted their raid. And now they want him to testify as to what he does or does not have. If they think they have a case, they’re free to bring it. This is an attempt to make an end run preventing him from claiming he declassified some thing. The minute he certifies as they wish, they will insert some thing not on that list and say he did not specify this, and was in possession of this document.

You have no obligation to testify against yourself. Just start criminal court system at work again, and our criminal DOJ.

No matter how she rules, Trump will ignore and appeal. There is no way the Supreme Court will say he must be compelled to testify about what the FBI stole from his house.
They are at a dead end and know it. If they try to charge him with possession of classified documents, he can easily say they would be classified and it will easily pass test. They know that, so they’re trying to engineer a trap.

This is no different than a local police department demanding that you be compelled to produce a list of everything that was in your medicine cabinet after they raided your house. And then wanting you to certify their list of what they seized from your house. Childish in it’s incompetence. .

Berryl Howell ain't just any old Obama judge.

She clerked for one of the greatest "Heroes of the Democrat Soviet" during the time when he pulled off his permanent subversion of our US "elections".

This one is a dyed-in-the-wool Lefty political commissar, very similar to Roland Freisler in a skirt.

Trump should ask the DOJ to define what Constitutes classified documents and who has the authority to classify and declassify.....

It would be illegal to do any sort of demonstration on that judge’s front lawn. That’s what they were doing to the SCOTUS judges on account of their changing the baby-killing ruling. It was wrong then. It would be wrong now.

But send ten busloads of illegals to DC? Hell, yes. Spread the love around.
