Trump’s Favorite Judge Puts Mar-a-Lago Prosecutor on Trial
Daily Beast ^ | June 20, 2024 | Jose Pagliery

The tables have turned.

Had everything gone according to plan, Donald Trump would be on trial right now in South Florida for hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago ocean estate after leaving the White House. The politician, still licking his wounds from his New York conviction, would be desperately fighting to stave off a humiliating distinction: becoming the first former president to be branded a two-time felon.

Instead, a very different trial of sorts will be underway this Friday at a tiny federal courthouse in the sunny beach city of Fort Pierce—one that will awkwardly put the Department of Justice on the defensive, with government lawyers asserting their most fundamental right to even try this historic case.

The Hill is NOT a reliable source either, but this shows the Left is in panic. And that is a lot, they consistently totally disregard the Rule of Law.


Toobin: Trump documents judge ‘trying to kill this prosecution’

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4707216-toobin-trump-documents-judge-trying-to-kill-this-prosecution/

Toobin criticized Cannon for her recent decision to let third parties argue in a June 21 hearing on Trump's motion to dismiss the indictment on grounds that special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges against Trump, was illegally appointed to the job.


Note: the Trial may begin today with initial procedure of the court, but tomorrow will allow 3rd parties to testify. SO, there is no new actual news about the case until tomorrow is over.

You are correct, but the tainted evidence is a totally different point. Anything he took out in the records was his to take out. If they put other stuff in there, there will be a paperwork trail somewhere. And a good defense will show that.

Of course, the “tainted” is pretty much everyone getting a government paycheck right now, so that might be a problem.
