Toensing, DiGenova to Newsmax: Flaws All Around Indictment
Newsmax ^

Posted on 06/09/2023 9:34:25 PM PDT by GulliverSwift

Former DOJ Deputy Assistant Attorney General Victoria Toensing and former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Joe diGenova, say the Trump indictment is filled with flaws.

... "The allegations are rather problematic for the president if they are true," Toensing said Friday during an appearance on Newsmax's "Chris Salcedo Show."

"We all know Trump can be kind of undisciplined; that said, the problem here is the abuse of discretion. That conduct is not wrought in any way to pursue a former president of the United States and perhaps a future president of the United States.

"I want to tell Jack Smith there are two systems of justice because I could have in 2017 gone to the Justice Department and pursued an investigation into Hillary Clinton and found as damning statements about why she eliminated 30,000 emails, why she kept an unsecured server in her basement and why she beat her phone up with a hammer. I could have brought just as damning an indictment," she added.

Smith is the special counsel behind the indictment. In brief remarks Friday he said the country has "one set of laws and they apply to everyone."

Trump faces 37 counts related to the mishandling of classified documents. The charges include counts of retaining classified information, obstructing justice and making false statements.

DiGenova told Newsmax he was extremely disappointed with the lawyering "on both sides of this case" and that Trump's new legal team should "file a series of motions in front of the court about prosecutorial misconduct, the illegality of the underlying charges and all the things you need to file in a case like this because jury selection in Florida is going to be a lot better for the president than it would have been in the District of Columbia."

Trump's own lawyers should be out there defending him. Where are they? I looked on Fox and Newsmax websites but don't see them.

Saw some leftist reporter saying Trump could be indicted in DC as well.

Why didn't you do that, Victoria?

Because the DOJ is the legal department for the Democratic Party.

He’s looking for lawyers because the indictment was written in such a way as to make them into material witnesses.

It’s all straw.
America had a silent coupe when Obama promised to fundamentally change America years ago.. Hitler would be envious. He created over 16 SS units and weaponized them against America to meet his death to America agenda.

With Donald we got to see the beginning of the tyranny as they show their faces and flex their muscles against one man, President Donald J Trump.

These 16 SS units were installed independent of the presidents office so the death to America agenda could withstand changes in presidency.

That is how and why the sock puppet, straw man Biden is irrelevant.

Conversely, that’s why they want to eradicate President Trump as he is a mortal threat to their existence. President DJ Trump represents liberty, rights and freedom who seeks to rid Americans of the tyrannical, oppressive forces installed by the death to America agenda.

"I want to tell Jack Smith there are two systems of justice...

We will soon ALL tell Jack Smith and his goons that there can NOT be two systems of justice - - that's NOT justice and abomination is NOT compatible with the concepts behind 'rule of law'...

These two sure can talk a good game, but at the end of the day are just a couple of old cranks.

They resigned because they sang like birds in front of the Salem boxgate grand jury.

I wonder if Deep State is doing this because DeSantis has crashed and burned...

Deep State knows that if it has to steal another presidential election there will be no denying that the republic is dead.

So you’re claiming that those two lawyers did NOT resign?

Is it possible they quit because they discovered they had certified false information to the Fed’s?
