Analysis: Trump indictment is agenda-driven “nonsense”
A few days ago, we discussed the likely strategy of Lisa Monaco at the DOJ, using “classified documents” as a pretense for the Mar-A-Lago raid when they’re called something different in the indictment: “documents with classified markings,” which aren’t even necessarily still classified. (When documents are declassified, the old markings remain, as a sort of history.) Monaco --- a former Obama attorney whom we theorize is the real power behind Attorney General Garland --- couldn’t have intended to prosecute Trump for possessing classified documents, because she knows perfectly well that he has the authority to possess them. Instead, the indictment talks about “defense-related documents.”
Sundance at THE CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE, in a follow-up to his last commentary, says this is “a very specifically deployed obtuse wording intended to create the impression of something nefarious when nothing nefarious exists.” He doesn’t expect Judge Aileen Cannon to be taken in by this.
Back when the National Archives and the DOJ were asking Trump to return documents, they specified these as documents that contained “classified markings.” Trump, who has authority to declassify, was not under obligation to obey. This is a must read.
Sundance also said that if NARA or prosecutors were really interested in national security issues, they wouldn’t be playing “obtuse word games in order to structure court filings simply for media narrative engineering and propaganda purposes.”
As a tag, he suggested Trump hire an attorney named Eric A. Dubelier and “let him have fun with it.” Intrigued, we looked him up and found that in 2019, the WASHINGTON TIMES billed him as “Robert Mueller’s top courtroom adversary.” This piece is a refresher on what Mueller’s pit bull Andrew Weissmann did when trying the Enron case to destroy the accounting firm Arthur Andersen --- a conviction that was unanimously reversed years later in 2005 by the Supreme Court, after Arthur Andersen had been ground to dust.
