It’s not necessary to be an attorney to comprehend the dangers a criminal defendant faces when agreeing to a televised interview. And a number of President Trump’s detractors, including former friend turned foe Chris Christie, said that Trump had implicated himself in his interview with Bret Baier of Fox News or even engaged in on-air obstructing the administration of justice.
But in my opinion, he effectively “boxed in” the Dept. of Justice.
The recording of a recoded discussion with a journalist during which Trump seems to make reference to a defense-related paper that he claims is confidential and that he had never declassified before he left the White House is the most compelling portion of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s charge.
Bret Baier was informed by Trump that there was in fact no such paper. Witnesses might provide the answer to the query. However, it can also compel prosecutors to provide the actual document.
Theoretically, prosecutors may be able to convict someone of a crime based on evidence that the general public is not permitted to view in particular situations. However, the trial may face a number of procedural difficulties if the evidence is so top-secret that it cannot be disclosed with defense counsel and jurors, who normally lack security clearance.
Most importantly, it will be challenging to persuade the general public that the trial is, in actuality, a fair one.
It is the first time a prominent opposition contender and a former president have been prosecuted. The prosecution has an extra political responsibility to establish that the trial is not a misuse of the judicial system for political gain, but the standard of proof under the law remains the same.
Jack Smith will have to choose whether to reveal the existence of the enigmatic document to the general public. If he is unable to or doesn’t, the prosecution will be invalid.
Trump successfully used the Bret Baier interview to focus on the main piece of evidence presented against him, forcing the Dept. of Justice to determine whether or not to include that incident in the investigation. The rest of the case is mostly boring to the general public and legally ambiguous for a jury without that incident.
By discussing the subject so openly on television, Trump may have done himself harm. He may, however, have exposed Jack Smith’s deception.
Using the communist manifesto page by page to take down ” We the People” WAKE up America and vote for your future. Pray and Pray a lot.
Anyone with an IQ greater than 30 can readily see that although Mr, Trump may be arrogant and self centered, unlike Biden and his Clan, he is not a liar, a cheating underhanded low-life who doesn’t have the brains of a toilet and opts to select the same bottom of the barrel trash as a VP! Go Trump!
So elegantly stated. You go, LOU!
In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction. The diary describes Ashley and her father Joe Biden taking showers together at an inappropriate age.
The destruction of the United States of America is approaching its final phases. Started by Obama and gainfully assisted by then VP Biden ; wilfully promoted by foreign-born America-hating billionaires and ALL deliberately supported and conspired with a now clearly exposed corrupted “Alphabet Agency” of central Public-Funded Administration cliques ! All of which is of course MY OPINION !
What more is needed to bring down what ONCE WAS a country highly regarded for its ethics and integrity – now simply a cess-pit of warring short-sighted imbeciles fighting over the remaining “Crumbs” ?
