[Macho MAGA Man]

What I want to know is either someone on Trump's team is a mole leaking this stuff to Catherine Herridge OR Trump's legal team are being surveilled or having their phones monitored.

[Vermont Lt]

Trump’s legal team is leaking this. Purposely.

His team is not very good at this. And if they keep it up, the will get censured by the judge.

This isn’t Manhattan district court. They are gonna find out you don’t mess around with Federal judges.

Following law school graduation, Howell clerked for Judge Dickinson Richards Debevoise of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey from 1983 to 1984.

"judge" Beryl Howell was in on the ground floor of industrial big city vote fraud - clerking for the Democrat hero who enabled it for nearly 40 years.

I imagine that they yucked it up over how they were going to subvert the american voting system forever.

Every Prosector and Assistant - every single member of the staff - their Boss to a Joe Biden.

They serve the Executive branch.

See next Post - bring in what their Boss said.

I believe CBS.

LOL.

[qaz123]

Am I the only one who has wondered how women like Herridge and those like her get all these “scoops” from the DOJ and DOD?

[AndyTheBear]

Why on Earth don’t they simply ask that the case be dismissed on its face?

Jack needs to pack:

9-90.010 - National Security
....
The enforcement of all criminal laws affecting, involving or relating to the national security, and the responsibility for prosecuting criminal offenses, such as conspiracy, perjury and false statements, arising out of offenses related to national security, is assigned to the Assistant Attorney General (AAG) of the National Security Division. Where a matter affects the national security, regardless of the specific statute(s) implicated, prosecutions shall be instituted and conducted under the supervision of the Assistant Attorney General, National Security Division, or higher authority. 28 C.F.R. § 0.72.

The Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) of the National Security Division, under the supervision of the AAG or a higher authority, conducts, handles, and supervises prosecutions within the scope of this chapter.

Prosecution of a case involving a national security statute set forth in 9-90.020(A)(1) shall not be instituted without the express approval of the National Security Division or higher authority. In addition, in such cases, CES shall be consulted before:
an arrest is made,
a search warrant is obtained,

immunity is offered,
an indictment is presented,
an information is filed,
a civil injunctive action is filed,
a prosecution is declined,
a count is dismissed,

Consultation with CES is also required in all cases in which classified information plays a role in the prosecutive decision, and all cases that require the protections afforded by the Classified Information Procedures Act, 18 U.S.C. app. 3, i.e., cases in which classified information may be disclosed during the pretrial, trial or appellate stage of the litigation.

Either that, or the strategies stated are so obvious as to require no secrecy or allow no element of surprise.

A “likely” motion to dismiss and an attempt to unseal exculpatory evidence are both no-brainers.

It’s like saying “Trump’s defense team will likely look for ways to weaken the prosecution’s case.”
