Glenn Kutschner makes his case that the Trump lawyers are pulling a “legal sleight of hand” that, in fact, insults the intelligence of Judge Cannon (the judge on the case). However, he is still not entirely sure that Cannon is an honest broker of the law. Like me, he wishes the Justice Department would just indict Trump already, and is sometimes showing frustration at how slowly they are going about it.
Among some of their legal strategies, they continually refer to the “purported classified materials.” This is part of their bizarre strategy, which amounts to playing games. It is basically trying to cast doubt about whether or not the material Trump took from the White House to Mar-a-Lago. Trump himself kept claiming that he had declassified them, although in fact, the evidence suggests that he had not. His own lawyers fall short of claiming that he had declassified them, most likely because that might be perjury while under oath.
In any case, Trump supporters are, predictably, trying to undermine the significance of this situation. This, despite having been the crowd to chant "lock her up" when they believed that Hillary's emails amounted to criminal conduct. But here, when their guy clearly and undisputedly took documents that had significant national security significance, they are trying to minimize it, and some are saying that this basically amounts to merely a “document storage dispute.”
What a joke their self-serving cherry-picking arguments are. How blind do you have to be at this point to still support someone like Trump, with all that we know about him?
