Former President Donald Trump blasted the Special Counsel leak on Tuesday.
The Special Counsel investigation's prosecutors have presented evidence that former President Donald Trump has "knowingly and deliberately misled his own attorneys about his retention of classified materials after leaving office," according to a former top federal judge who leaked the contents of a sealed filing to ABC News on Tuesday.
"U.S. Judge Beryl Howell, who on Friday stepped down as the D.C. district court's chief judge, wrote last week that prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's office had made a 'prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations,'" ABC News reported, "and that attorney-client privileges invoked by two of his lawyers could therefore be pierced."
Donald Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in the classified documents case. The former president blasted the report on Tuesday.
"Shame on Fake News ABC for broadcasting ILLEGALLY LEAKED false allegations from a Never Trump, now former chief judge, against the Trump legal team. This disinformation is on par with their breathless Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and “no-collusion” Mueller speculation, all of which were totally disproven. These leaks are happening because there is no factual or legal basis or substance to any case against President Trump. The deranged Democrats and their comrades in the mainstream media are corrupting the legal process and weaponizing the justice system in order to manipulate public opinion, because they are clearly losing the political battle. "The real story here, that Fake News ABC SHOULD be reporting on, is that prosecutors only attack lawyers when they have no case whatsoever. "President Trump is the only leader fighting for the Constitution in order to protect the American people from being abused by a crooked system.”

And yet far too many in this country ignore this obvious statement of fact, and would rather vote for a communist because Trump says "Mean Things". Unbelievable.
Ok, they take out Trump. Then what??
Donald Trump, and Donald Trump alone determines the classified status of any and all documents under his control, period, per FARA!
Trump has zero requirement to announce or formalize ANYTHING! Nor is he required to report the circumstances to any attorney!
Oh, really? Trump did the same thing Biden did?
BS
They are going to do everything they can to keep Trump out, that should be more than clear by now. I think if he wins they will try to kill him.
Special Counsel Drops Evidence Donald Trump Has Committed ‘Criminal Violations’

Oh look, it’s Tuesday again.
Pfft.
Kaiser Klaus takes over both his Fifth Reich.
Over our dead bodies that cross dressing twerp!
This will culminate with Trump being excluded by Democrat machines from the primary ballot and General ballot in certain states making election impossible.
The claim that he lied to his lawyers and that this permits the attorney client privilege to be pierced, seems very odd.
Best I can make of it, you can’t use your attorney to commit a crime. So Trump tells his lawyers he searched for classified documents and didn’t find any. The lawyers repeat that to the court.
Now they have evidence that he was lying. Based on some employee’s testimony.
Very convoluted and not sure it would hold up on appeal.
She worked for Patrick “Leaky” Leahy. (D) Vermontski.
Isn’t it funny how the stories about all the classified docs Brandon stole have disappeared?
“Judge” Beryl Howell is the daughter of an Army officer.[3] She attended public school in six states and Germany before graduating from Bryn Mawr College with her Bachelor of Arts degree, with honors in Philosophy in 1978 and from Columbia University School of Law with a Juris Doctor in 1983.[4][5] She is Jewish.[6]
Not surprising biography of a loyal apparachik of the American Cheka.
“Ok, they take out Trump. Then what??”
Putin runs America?
What a surprise, “leaks” coming out of another DJT investigation. Will someone get fired? Will someone get promoted?
Standby for more breaking news . . .
I look forward to the Special Counsel’s report on former Vice-President Biden’s handling of classified documents.
