1. Isn’t this exactly what is being asserted here by the DOJ in its attempts to hide the evidence from the court and/or jury?
2. How does the Espionage Act define “national security information?”
The judge in this case has painted the DOJ into a corner. The prosecutors are going to need SOMEBODY other than the prosecution team to provide the legal basis for that determination.
This case is being waged in the court of public opinion, by both sides, independent of what the indictments actually say, is the answer.
How does the Espionage Act define “national security information?”
I don’t know that it does. But the DOJ thinks it does, and they probably have witnesses from government on their side who can attest their opinion of it. Courts are where charges and the law are weighed, so Trump would be offered an opportunity to dispute whatever info they’re talking about isn’t national security related, etc.
