FBI: His attorneys showed us the proof and then colluded in the crime.

[kpete]

So when the FBI wrote an affidavit for violations of the Espionage Act, they said, "here's how I know Trump has classified documents and won't give them back: We subpoenaed them, his attorneys showed us them, and then refused to give them back."

Judge: Why do you think this man committed a crime?

FBI: Because his attorneys showed us the proof and then colluded in that crime.

1. So Trump's own attorneys were the direct witnesses needed for the search warrant?

[BComplex]

3. Sounds like a trump attorney, now that you mention it!

[Irish_Dem]

4. They must have gone to the Trump Family School of Law.

[rurallib]

21. A great example of why you should pay your attorneys

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Not only witnesses, but they probably viewed classified information too.

[Irish_Dem]

28. Of course they did.

No doubt about it.

2. John fucking Solomon,

former writer for The Hill, can go fuck himself.

[live love laugh]

5. The attorneys should be disbarred.

[Mr.Bill]

7. They should wind up in prison. n/t

[Hortensis]

14. Yes, and more. 41 of Nixon's "people" got criminal convictions and

and I think about 25 did prison time. More escaped that but not ruin of their careers. Watergate was of course very small potatoes compared to this, which also extends to criminal/seditious activities in various states. I'm hopeful.

30. I dunno. IF they become the reason we GET tRump, could be they deserve a medal.

Maybe attorneys are just sick of being forced to break the law by their clients and this is a subtle way of fighting back.

Just a thought.


So many of the rich and powerful think their attorneys can get them out of any criminal consequences so they do what they please and pay the attorneys to "fix it".

6. We know that at least 25 boxes of documents were removed from the White House.

We also know that Trump is too lazy to do anything for himself, so which WH aides packed those boxes for him? Aides had to know that those boxes contained documents that belonged to the National Archives, and possible that some of them were classified as top secret. So which aides were still working in the WH when the packing started?

[AllyCat]

10. Maybe he made Eric do it. He works for minimum wage.

[LymphocyteLover]

8. Holy crap! There's a lot there and clearly crimes were broken

LOCK THEM ALL UP

[LiberalFighter]

9. Wouldn't that make his attorneys complicit in a crime too?

[not a texan]

11. If aides did pack the boxes of documents I think another crime happened

Did these aides have security clearance to see classified documents? I highly doubt it. Just like Trump to think things like a security clearance is something other admins need to do properly, certainly not his

[getagrip_already]

12. I'm not holding my breath awaiting charges.....

I doubt there will be any.

The govt wanted the docs back in their custody. But I doubt they will ever bring charges.

This is not a case they want to charge. Not on its own.

[Marcuse]

13. With Jack

15. On a side note: Didn't Trump previously argue that Mar-a-Lardo is not his home?

Now his attorneys are saying it IS his home. What was the prior issue on whether it IS his home vs is NOT his home?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Reminder: The promoter of TruthSocial believes truth is very flexible when bending it benefits him.n

[ancianita]

18. The prior issue is a Palm Beach ordinance that says a club cannot be simultaneously claimed as a

residence; that someone can stay in it no longer than six months; now, trump's six months has long been up. His lawyers are doing what he pays them to do, which is defend him through some loophole.

23. Thank you!

My research skills totally failed me. Thanks!

[maxsolomon]

16. I think I understand this OP

But then again...

19. RICO RICO RICO

[CaptainTruth]

20. Does this eliminate attorney/client privilege?

If TFG's attorneys showed the FBI documents that he had illegally, & then "colluded in the crime" by keeping them, doesn't that eliminate attorney/client privilege, which means the attorneys would be free to talk to investigators about their discussions with TFG?

My understanding is that if an attorney & their client both participate in the commission of a crime there is no attorney/client privilege for any discussions related to that crime.

Legal folks?

[TygrBright]

24. Lock him up. n/t

[Novara]

25. Only the best!

[moonshinegnomie]

26. if the fbi recovered classified cos in june thats a crime committed by trum

thats months after the 15 boxes they seized. . he should have been arrested that day and taken away in cuffs

[crickets]

27. What a fantastic box of "Careful what you wish for, GOP. You may get it." I just love it! 💙

29. Ka-BOOM!
