In reply to the discussion: Rep. Jim Jordan demands DOJ memo outlining scope of Trump probe [View all]ExWhoDoesntCare
(4,741 posts)"Trumps outside legal team is taking cues from Jim Jordan, adopting many of his arguments and even asking a federal judge to obtain documents from Jordan to build their legal case against Democrats myriad investigations targeting the president."
Did any of these clowns attend law school at all?
They can get some documents from the prosecution to build their case. Not all, but not an insubstantial amount, either. It's called discovery. File the necessary motions to get the documents, and what you can't get, well, too bad. Deal with it and move on. Sheesh.
The defense can also get documents from sympathetic witnesses that they need to build cases. They don't even have to go through a judge for it. The witness can voluntarily cough it up. So why would they need to go through a federal judge to get information from Gymbo, if he's already on their side? Have his boss make a call, get what you want from him. Well, if he's legally allowed to have it, you can get it. And you better let the prosecution know you have such information, because discovery works both ways.
I suspect that all this whining about getting something from Gymbo is nothing but a desperate straw-grab to get something they couldn't get through even the generous bounds of discovery.
I'm an idiot, and I know this much about law.
