TRUMP CONVICTED

I'd like to be able to defend the secret service, but following clearly illegal orders, and not reporting on the seditious activity they HAD to be aware of makes it a lot harder to defend them...

I think the job makes them feel more important than other civil servants and therefore more righteous and above regulations, especially when their personal opinions align with POTUS. It takes a good chief to keep that in check.

How the fuck did anyone whose personal opinions coincide with trump's get into the secret service? It sure seems like those kind of attitudes would be more than enough to disqualify any applicant.

There goes Eastman......probably disbarrment

Former FBI analyst who kept classified records in home sentenced to prison
A former intelligence analyst with the FBI’s Kansas City division has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for holding onto classified national defense-related documents at her residence, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Thursday.

According to a release from the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs, Kendra Kingsbury “improperly removed and willfully retained” some 386 classified documents, some of which “contained extremely sensitive national defense information,” at her home in Missouri over the course of her more-than-12-year FBI tenure.

Kingsbury, 50, pleaded guilty in October to two counts of unlawfully retaining documents related to national defense. She has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release.

Her sentencing comes weeks after former President Trump was indicted and arraigned on federal criminal charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida after his time in the White House had ended.
The Kansas City Star reported that Kingsbury stored some of the documents in her bathroom. Trump’s indictment also detailed that documents were kept in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom, among other places.

Kingsbury held a “TOP SECRET/SCI” security clearance, with access to national defense and classified information, and received training materials that specifically warned her “that she was prohibited from retaining classified information at her personal residence,” the DOJ said in the release.
Among the materials were reportedly documents classified at the “SECRET” level, including details on government counterterrorism, counterintelligence and cyber efforts, as well as specific investigations and “sensitive human-source operations.”

Kingsbury was also alleged to have held onto SECRET-level documents from another government agency that included information about al Qaeda members and a suspected associate of Usama bin Laden, the release states.

“According to court documents, Kingsbury put national security at risk by retaining classified information in her home that would have, if in the wrong hands, revealed some of the government’s most important and secretive methods of collecting essential national security intelligence.”
The FBI’s investigation into “what uses” Kingsbury had for the classified documents “revealed more questions and concerns than answers.”

Just like the Supreme Court.

Half of his lawyers probably recorded their conversations with Trump using a cellphone app, wearing a wire is pretty easy these days.


Special counsel Jack Smith has begun producing evidence in the Mar-a-Lago documents case to Donald Trump, according to a Wednesday court filing that hints that investigators collected for the case multiple recordings of the former president – not just audio of an interview Trump gave at Bedminster for a forthcoming Mark Meadows memoir.

Prosecutors in the filing used the plural “interviews” to describe recordings of Trump – made with his consent – obtained by the special counsel that have now been turned over to his defense team. It is unclear what the additional recordings may be of or how relevant they will be to the Justice Department’s case against the former president, though the recordings include the Bedminster tape where Trump speaks about a secret military document to a writer and others, the prosecutors said in the filing.

The prosecutors’ update to the court on Wednesday night marks another swift move toward trial, which the Justice Department has said should happen quickly, and captures at least some of the extent of the evidence investigators secured to build their historic case against Trump.

The first batch of discovery production – made up of unclassified materials – includes transcripts of witness testimony in front of the grand juries in Washington, DC, and Florida that were probing the mishandling of government documents from Trump’s White House. It also includes materials collected via subpoenas and search warrants; memos detailing other witness interviews given through mid-May in the investigation; and copies of the surveillance footage investigators obtained in the probe.

The first batch of evidence, provided on Wednesday, “includes the grand jury testimony of witnesses who will testify for the government at the trial of this case,” the special counsel’s office wrote.

“Defense counsel can contact the government to arrange for inspection of unclassified items seized at Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022,” the filing said...

Donald will be standing over his lawyer's shoulders as they slowly repeat, "you're fucked", as they thumb through the pages of the indictment...

Expect a few "You dirty rats"!

Same Case

Special Counsel Jack Smith gives Trump preview of evidence against him, and Trump blows a gasket!

Special Counsel Jack Smith just delivered to Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys a letter detailing some of the evidence that will be introduced against him at his classified documents/obstruction of justice/espionage trial. The discovery letter indicates that Trump's attorneys were given all of the grand jury transcripts of the people who will testify as prosecution witnesses at trial. This is the first time Trump got to see who testified against him in the grand jury and what they said.

Seems things just got very real for Trump, and he blew a gasket, as can be seen from an extended, all-caps post, expressly begging "CONGRESS" to "STOP THEM (the prosecutors) NOW!"

It would be both hilarious if trump squealed on all the freedump carcass assholes and put them away for sedition, and totally in character for trump to rat out every single person the DOJ shows a vague interest in, if it will keep his fat orange ass out of prison.

Fox Opinion (David Marcus) claims Durham delivered a smackdown to Schiff…what I saw went the other way

I spotted one lie: the Trump Tower meeting w/ the Russian ‘adoption people’, Durham said they didn’t talk about HRC at all - when it was understood up-front to be a follow-up on a Russian offer of kompromat on HRC, as multiply documented

I get the impression Durham has a fundamental misunderstanding about The Mueller investigation / report, and it’s making his work worthless
