Trump lawyer: ‘There is context to everything’

[onthedarkside]

 

Trump attorney Alina Habba said the public will get a much different view of the case against former President Donald Trump when his team mounts a defense in court.

 

“There is context to everything,” she said on “Fox News Sunday.” “That context will be brought out on defense. And that’s going to be our opportunity. We have not had an opportunity to give our side.”

 

She said Trump’s legal team will counter all the material that special counsel Jack Smith presented in his 37-count indictment of the former president.

As Fareed Zacharia said on CNN tonight, imagine if the Germans found out that the enigma code had been cracked in ww2.

My question is why has no one thought to search his resort business in Scotland?  Discovering classified material there, OUTSIDE OF THE U.S., would be a hornet's nest in itself.  And who came around to view them?

This happened in 2019 before this documents scandal came up, and it should be given a second look:

And who can say there were no other such incidents that went undetected?

So says the person who would not sign an affidavit attesting to there being no more classified gov't docs at MAL (until she added some caveats, which insinuates she knew it wasn't true).

I think maybe you have the Trump female lawyers mixed up. This is Alina Habba. The lawyer you refer to above is Christina Bobb.

 

Trump lawyer Christina Bobb speaks to federal investigators in Mar-a-Lago case
Bobb signed a letter in June certifying that “based upon the information that has been provided to me," Trump had returned all classified records sought by the government. The Aug. 8 search of Trump's home turned up additional records.

One things for sure, she can't deny the tapes...................lol

 

'Those tapes are my tapes!' Trump enraged by Jack Smith's evidence against him

During an interview on Sunday with host Roger Stone, Trump responded to reports indicating he admitted he did not declassify some documents before leaving office with them. Those recordings are reportedly in the hands of special counsel Jack Smith.

Trump complained that President Joe Biden "probably doesn't have tapes" incriminating himself.

"I have tapes of the FBI during the raid. I didn't put them out because I was asked not to by them," he ranted. "But I have tapes of the raid by FBI. You want to see some tapes? Those are tapes."

No, I think he'll postpone and hope for a (pre emptive) pardon, if necessary by himself, since it most likely won't be tried before the next election.

Sure she can:

 

Attorneys for Trump informed the Justice Department that they've not been able to locate a classified document related to Iran sought by investigators that was discussed during a recorded meeting, two people with knowledge of the case confirmed to CBS News. 

 

One person said it's not clear if the document with the "plan of attack" exists, or if Trump was misidentifying something to those assembled for the meeting, but said prosecutors have the tape. 

Sometimes aides and visitors weren't even sure if what Trump was talking about on national security or military matters was true or if documents Trump mentioned existed, sources recalled.

She would have done great at Nuremburg trials with the line "“There is context to everything,”... hey, there was a war going on; Germany had just came out of a big depression, we had the support of Catholics and Protestants....

Ms. Habba is not now nor has she been the attorney of record in the Miami documents case.

Agree but it could get worse!

 

After CNN sacked 'Extra Trumpy' CEO Chris Licht for his disastrous Trump Town Hall,  Pro-Trump billionaire John Catsimatidis now wants to buy CNN.

 

I suggest he would be another lesser Pro-Trump Murdoch, who has admitted in a deposition that his journos lie to support Trump.

The smart ones have bailed out like Jim Trusty and John Rowley. They know it is a lost case and worried about getting pay.

It is probably more to do with the fact that if in court they repeat anything Trump has said they will be held in contempt etc for lying!

No, it's a direct analogy to illustrate how serious these charges are.
