Judge Aileen Cannon is considering tossing out the notes as evidence.
Proof he knew what he was doing was wrong and his arguments that he declassified them all are bullshit.
If Cannon tosses the notes, does that make her an accessory after the fact?
Yes, and to an even bigger conspiracy. It’s incredible how badly she’s fucking this up and it’ll all come back down on her one day.

I love your optimism
She is a federal judge. Nothing will ever happen to her as long as there are 34 Republicans in the Senate.
Cannon might screw up badly enough to get the case taken away (I doubt, I’m sure her handlers are coaching her on exactly what she can get away with), but she’s going to be on this bench until she gets appointed to the supreme court.
Those arguments were always bullshit. He never went through the process of declassifying them. We also already know that he bragged to a reporter that he had classified documents. So he knew he had them, he knew he should not, and he knew he would get in legal trouble if he gave them back.
It is my understanding that the statues that he’s being charged under do not depend on the classification of the documents. The problem is that the documents belonged to the government and were not returned upon multiple requests. Therefore, even if the documents were declassified, which they were not, the same charges could still be brought against him.
Agreed, what I’m saying is these notes apply to state of mind. He knew he was acting illegally and did it anyway.
I wonder who is still surprised by all this. Convicted felon who wants to play the dictator with a projection of a space Laser…
Judicial oversight is a thing at some point, right?
Just judicial overlook.
Nope
Who watchesthe Watchmen? No one. We’re on the authoritarian speedtrain.
Did they actually use the phrase “hide the evidence or we could get caught”, or was that just how I picture the conversation?
Why can’t news say “wanted to hide evidence to avoid punishment”?

It says a lot about her that it’s not immediately apparent whether or not that’s a joke inventing comically blatant corruption or something she’s actually considering 😮💨🤦
Can anybody with actual knowledge of law explain why the prosecutors should be allowed to use Trump’s lawyer’s notes against Trump in this case? Seems like it would make sense that it isn’t allowed.
