WASHINGTON — Lawyers for former President Donald Trump said in a filing Tuesday night that they plan to file multiple motions to dismiss the criminal charges against him in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
“Defendants currently plan to file on February 22, at minimum, a series of motions to dismiss the Superseding Indictment and certain of the charges therein,” Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise wrote in the newly filed motion, which seeks to extend certain deadlines in the case. The superseding indictment alleges Trump was involved in a scheme to delete security video at Mar-a-Lago, his estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump's legal team added that the defense is "still evaluating potential motions" and that they could relate to presidential immunity, the Presidential Records Act, Trump's security clearances and "selective and vindictive prosecution," among other issues.
Trump’s defense team and prosecutors from special counsel Jack Smith's office have until Feb. 22 to file pretrial motions.
Trump’s lawyers argue in Wednesday’s filing that they should be allowed to file additional motions beyond the deadline based on any additional evidence they receive from the prosecution.
Trump’s team has filed several motions with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who's overseeing the case in Florida, seeking orders to compel evidence it claims is in the government’s possession.
They better be...
Good luck with that!
Good luck with that!
Clearly they won’t be able to get Trump’s charges tossed for a very simple reason: Biden “meant no harm.” Trump “meant harm.”
This is obvious. Don’t even ask how I know it.
It’s just the same as “Black people cannot be racist.”
That’s also obvious, and if you ask for an explanation, you’re a racist.
>Clearly they won’t be able to get Trump’s charges tossed for a very simple reason: Biden “meant no harm.” Trump “meant harm.”
Yeah, the claim that Trump “wasn’t forthcoming” is completely speculative. NARA waited until 2022 to do anything. Then they met with the lawyers, that allowed the FBI access. They did nothing.
Then, the FBI raided him and expelled any witnesses and took his passport.
The only reason they’re so pissed is that the Crossfire Hurricane docs probably weren’t there and they can’t find them.
Willful retention has nothing to do with Section 1, subsection e) of the Espionage Act. Biden is clearly in violation.
e) whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blue print, plan, map, model, note, or information, relating to the national defence, through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be list, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by imprisonment for not more than two years, or both.

Next campaign event Trump should stumble on stage wearing a bathrobe and slippers, announce he just spoke with France’s President Mitterrand. Then he should look at the audience and announce, “guess that takes care of the DOJ investigations”.
Dropped, WITH PREJUDICE.
I’d be all over that Hur report...FJB never had the power to declassify anything yet there he was with half the confidential archive catching the drippings from his corvette.
And he’s too old to charge with those crimes...
[spit]
Hell...Hillary had hers on the web (emails)....and her attorneys erased thousands and thousands of them.
If Trump just acts like a vegetable, a kind old man with no brain, DOJ will drop the charges.
The weekend is here and your already drunk. Cool. Don’t break anything being upset about Puss in Boots losing to Thee God Emperor. Here is a great Smashing Pumpkins Tune to really get ya going full retard...
Hugs, and Kisses Sweetheart :)
