CLASSIFIED INFORMATION PROCEDURES ACT

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18a/compiledact-96-456

“The court, upon a sufficient showing, may authorize the United States to delete specified items of classified information from documents to be made available to the defendant through discovery under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, to substitute a summary of the information for such classified documents, or to substitute a statement admitting relevant facts that the classified information would tend to prove.”

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18a/compiledact-96-456/section-4

“(a)Notice by Defendant.—
If a defendant reasonably expects to disclose or to cause the disclosure of classified information in any manner in connection with any trial or pretrial proceeding involving the criminal prosecution of such defendant, the defendant shall, within the time specified by the court or, where no time is specified, within thirty days prior to trial, notify the attorney for the United States and the court in writing. Such notice shall include a brief description of the classified information....”

“....his counsel, Lloyd Cutler, asked me point blank one day when I made the mistake of just stopping by to say hello, if I was keeping a diary with the president. So somebody in the White House told him, and he felt honor obliged to disclose that to the special prosecutor, who was then up and running, not the fact that we were a diarist but to disclose it to the lawyer, David Kendall, who was handling those matters for both Clintons.”

“And David had to listen to some of the tapes, so he knew about them. And he had to respond to the subpoenas, asking for pertinent information in the president’s possession about these topics that they were investigating. And we were on pins and needles, that is the president and I and eventually Hillary, about whether those submissions that he made would tip off the special prosecutor’s office that the disclosures that, the little items that he picked out that he said were responsive to the subpoenas, comments about Whitewater or whatever, were part of a larger project and that that would leak. But fortunately it didn’t happen. And I don’t really know very much about Kendall’s interaction with the special prosecutor except to say that we never got a subpoena for them, and I never got a subpoena about this project. So we escaped somehow.”

“Ultimately, plaintiff conceded that even an order deeming the materials to be Presidential records and directing the defendant to make an effort to retrieve them would not bind the former President to produce them, Tr. at 60:14–20, and it would not make them magically available under FOIA”

I’m not a lawyer and I can’t absolutely state that the quote is relevant.

The very first... “Article 2 Section 1. Clause 1: The executive Power shall be vested in the President of the United States.”

This means he had total control of the documents produced in the Executive Branch while President. Plenary power: full; complete; entire; absolute.

President Trump while in office was the Executive Branch of government and not his subordinates.

Congress legally cannot make any laws or rules to override or take precidence . As they say, that would be unconstitional law.

Trump’s lawyers letter to Congress, well worth the read. It sounds as if NARA was setting him up.

If the jury was not informed of the law how could they rule on the evidence? Case dismissed by Judge Cannon.

Grand juries don’t rule on evidence. They rule any way the judge tells them to.

Trumps attorney client privilege was destroyed, as they said the lawyer was part of the crime. But Cheryl Mills, the Hillary attorney actually smashed cell phones with a hammer, and they didn’t dare interview her.

They should play “Send In The Clowns” theme when the DOJ shows up for this trial.

Yep, Trump needs to hire a full blown marketing team to put this stuff together as ads to help the low info voters understand what is occurring.

What’s the law got to do with it?

Absolutely NOTHING.

The United States of America has become an AUTHORITARIAN state ruled by an ILLEGITMATELY installed regime.

Trump is simply making his COMMON SENSE arguments to the court of public opinion who are also legitimate voters IF legitimate votes really matter.

The polls tell me Trump arguments are WINNING in the court of public opinion.

Trump’s strongest argument was one of the first he made.

The major purpose of the indictment at least the timing of the indictment was to DISTRACT from the real crimes of Biden which are MINOR compared to the acts of TREASON committed by Big Brother to cover-up those crimes.

Biden is a small fish compared to those like Mike Morrell in the CIA who committed crimes to see that Biden was illegitimately installed through the completion of a coup.

That Barnes podcast / interview is outstanding. I watched about two-thirds of it last night.

Article I, Section 8 The Congress shall have power...To make rules for the government...”

Brian, you just shredded Article I, Section 8, Clause 14 of the Constitution.

Full context:

Definitions:

Congress has the power to make rules for the acts of governing and regulating the land and naval forces. Congress does not have the power "to make rules for the government". That turns the Constitution completely upside down.

Noiseman's Article II Section I post was right on target.

Ridiculous argument.

Forget about the personality of Trump you hate so much, and focus on the precedent this indictment starts.

Every other President will indict his political opponents, and then where does that leave our country?

I spent 22 years in uniform serving my beloved country, and I’ll be damned if smart a$$es like you tear her apart in your TDS!

Grand juries are allowed to see/hear Brady material. Correct. But the prosecution is not compelled to present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury.

Can the case still be thrown out before trial? A little confusing here.

Yes. The defense can do it through motions (written and oral) The Judge can do it sua sponte.
