But Andy McCarthy and the Nazi Ukraine-firsters here said that Trump is toast (and they hope he is).
Ignore the legal “anal”-yst Andy McCarthy and enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
His body man foolishly talked to the FBI and denied knowing anything about the boxes moving even though it would have been on video that he moved boxes. They are suggesting in the indictment Trump told him to lie about the boxes but don’t outright say it. That’s the “conspiracy” to keep a Trump lawyer in the dark about more boxes in the residence.
Does it suggest criminal intent? It’s hard to find. Trump clearly cares about the documents and is slowly going through the boxes himself in the residence. He didn’t want his lawyers digging through them. They are suggesting he played his lawyers without any explanation as to why. He asked for legal advice. Nothing was destroyed. He didn’t sell secrets to China or whoever.
My concern is you almost have to feel he must be guilty to make some of the leaps they are asking. It doesn’t help they misconstrued a statute in two of the charges. There’s some overreach here but I am not saying he did nothing wrong because I need more facts about what rights he possessed over documents taken with him.
