I appeared this morning on the Tony Katz Show to talk about the reported indictment of Donald Trump related to the documents he had at Mar-a-Lago. I will generate a transcript when I can, but here’s the short version.
Two things can be true at the same time: Prosecutors at the federal and state level have been on a 7-year hunt to find something on which to successfully prosecute Trump. It’s corrupt, it’s disgusting, and it’s dangerous to our society. The second thing that can be true at the same time, depending on what the evidence shows, is that Trump may have given the prosecutors just what they were looking for as to what Trump did with the documents in question once he knew that the feds were seeking the return of the documents.
I know people don’t want to hear that. They want only to focus on the justifiable anger at the targeting of Trump. But in the real world, we assess things as they are, not as we want them to be.
Trump is at great legal risk, something I have posted about repeatedly, including last March, Alvin Bragg Is Trump’s Legal Sideshow, The Main Ring Is The Mar-a-Lago Classified Documents Case:
The legal circus that will grow in the next year, however, does have a main ring. And that main ring is no joke. It’s the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. Not so much that Trump had them, but whether he directed his lawyers to lie to the feds, obstructing justice. Unlike all the other legal drama, if proven, that’s a simple legal theory of criminal liability, unlike all the attenuated and legally-stretched theories in the other cases….Keep an eye on the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
