DOJ announces special counsel for Trump-related Mar-a-Lago and January 6 criminal investigations

Smith doesn't need 2 or any more classified documents to make a case.
The 2 docs are probably useless to the DOJ as evidence anyway, they weren't seized under a search warrant.
Like Trump didn't have all the places this team from a company that supposedly searches for documents ( lol-lol) searched first by his morons?
They're stupid enough to think that them admitting to finding 2 documents somehow gives credence that Trump has no more...

btw: His dog sniffing document finders were probably Kash Patel and his side-kick John Solomon.

Jack Smith has more than enough to work with.
Such a strong American name, eh? lol

 

Trump's lawyers must have had one hell of a time convincing him that filing an appeal would be futile.
They know they've become the laughing stock in the legal world and another humiliating loss would be on its way.

Thanks for the update, much appreciated.

 

The docs themselves are probably useless, but the fact that this search found 2 more could be very useful, especially in an obstruction case, which I don't think gets into content, just classification...

I think I heard somebody say that on TV yesterday....

 

good point.



Jack Smith or

Kash patel?

 

This latest:

iirc: Trump's lawyers did say that no one knew about the storage unit or what was in it, and that will play into why they shouldn't be charged with contempt?

Justice Department asks judge to hold Trump team in contempt over Mar-a-Lago case

Prosecutors have urged a federal judge to hold Donald Trump’s office in contempt of court for failing to fully comply with a May subpoena to return all classified documents in his possession, according to people familiar with the matter — a sign of how contentious the private talks have become over whether the former president still holds any secret papers.

In recent days, Justice Department lawyers have asked U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell to hold Trump’s office in contempt, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sealed court proceedings. But the judge has not yet held a hearing or ruled on the request, they said.

The request came after months of mounting frustration from the Justice Department with Trump’s team — frustration that spiked in June after the former president’s lawyers provided assurances that a diligent search had been conducted for classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago Club and residence. But the FBI amassed evidence suggesting — and later confirmed through a court-authorized search — that many more remained.

One of the key areas of disagreement centers on the Trump legal team’s repeated refusal to designate a custodian of records to sign a document attesting that all classified materials have been returned to the federal government, according to two of these people. The Justice Department has repeatedly sought an unequivocal sworn written assurance from Trump’s team that all such documents have been returned, and Trump’s team has been unwilling to designate a custodian of records to sign such a statement while also giving assurances that they have handed documents back."
