It might be that Trump never showed those documents to the writer.

One problem Trump has, according to Dershowitz, is a recording from 2021 of him talking about being in possession of a document he did not classify.

“That's a damning piece of evidence," Dershowitz said.

 

 

Maybe. But as I understand it - Jack Smith does not have that document. Therefore he has Jack Shit.

Lawyer opinions don’t mean much in this day and age of forgiven lawlessness of one side and persecution of the other.

Trump needs a speedy trial, followed by the forced withdrawal of these indictments or a speedy acquittal. The longer it’s drawn out, the worse it will be.

This will go at least 2 years.

according to Dershowitz, is a recording from 2021 of him talking about being in possession of a document he did not classify.

“That's a damning piece of evidence," Dershowitz said.

DJT's next thought after alleged recording was saying, to himself, three times, the words:

"I declassify this document.

I declassify this document.

I declassify this document."

And, poof! Document is de-classified.

Very true. But no matter the outcome in Florida, Trump will then face an indictment in Fulton County Georgia where he will be charged with election interference.

And then no matter the outcome in Georgia, Trump will then face an indictment in (fill in the blank)

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

They plan on a Death by a Thousand Cuts strategy.

“Hey, I had the right to have that piece of information because the Records Act permits me to have it.”

President Trump will easily be able to explain that in court.

“I predicted it,” Dershowitz, author of “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law,” told "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo.

Oy, such a barimer this one.

RE: “Hey, I had the right to have that piece of information because the Records Act permits me to have it.”

PROBLEM: Trump was not the President when he had that document. Does he still retain that right?

Is The Dersh referring to the actual transcript or the altered version that was presented to the Miami grand jury?

Georgia indictment will add 5 more points to Trumps lead in polls. Never underestimate MAGA Americans.

The Judge at the hearing tomorrow should rule the indictments as null and void. That would save the Country a great deal of strife that will develop from these charges. According to Professor Dershowitz the charges are groundless anyway since Federal Law overrules Smith’s charges..

Jack Sh1t is right.

And how was the recording obtained? Legally, or no? Cases are thrown out when evidence came about lawlessly.

And 2: was DJT under any kind of oath when he speculated or mused about the topic?

You simply can’t use that kind of stuff except in tabloids — certainly not to deprive someone of their freedom.

I remember a fellow attorney who told me one time that he had “3 million dollars worth of pending lawsuits in his briefcase.” Two weeks later he filed for personal bankruptcy.

Trump’s lawyers need to make this about politics. He will have at least 3 or 4 hardcore Trump supporters on a south Florida jury. They will not convict.

Exactly my question.
