re: #46 Targetpractice

The biggest issue facing Team Trump in both forums (Dearie and 11th Cir) is the same as it always is for any lawyers defending Trump: He can’t keep his fucking mouth shut. He’s been screaming for weeks that everything was declassified, that he can do it with just the wave of a hand, and anything he declassified is automatically his. While they’ve been at least self-aware enough not to make such arguments in Cannon’s court, they’ve tried to insinuate that nothing taken was classified and so Trump has a rightful claim of ownership under “privilege.” And the moment a higher court shows the least bit of skepticism about that claim, they spray out a cloud of squid ink about how they don’t have to actually prove any of that because it would hurt Donny’s defense if (read: when) criminal charges are eventually brought.

It’s glorious to see, isn’t it?
