A New York State judge ruled Friday that a criminal fraud and tax evasion prosecution against the Trump Organization and its former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, can proceed.
Weisselberg and the company asked a judge in February to dismiss all 15 counts charged against them. Judge Juan Merchan dismissed one of several tax fraud counts against the Trump Organization, but allowed all others to remain.
A lawyer for former President Trump signed a statement in June that all files marked as classified and held in boxes in storage at Mar-a-Lago were sent back. But an F.B.I. search this week found more, raising questions as to whether Mr. Trump or his team were fully forthcoming with investigators about the material.
What if Trump baited the FBI into raiding him by dangling declassified docs as classified. It would be a great way to Garner public support for the massive deswampification that is critical for America's survival.
The speed with which they come up with new and contradictory justifications is stunning. It seems that they've given up on the documents being declassified now and are saying they are covered by Executive Privilege, oh and just for good measure the FBI agents involved in the raid ore the exact ones being investigated by Durham (is that still going on? And does it involve the FBI at all?)
How can Executive Privilege save an ex-pres anyhow?
It's the "just found out" bit that really kills me, do we think that before that he totally thought Trump was guilty but he's just found this out (how?) and changed his mind. Surely he means, I've just made up a new reason for Trump to not to be guilty cos the old one was bollocks.
“What he doesn’t have the right to do is possess the documents; they are not his,” Jason R. Baron, a former director of litigation at the National Archives for more than a decade, said. “There should be no presidential records at Mar-a-Lago, whether they are classified or unclassified or subject to executive privilege or subject to attorney-client privilege.” Documents covered by executive privilege are meant to be kept within the government.

Well I mean you'd probably want to avoid asking that question again anyway, since we now know the answer, but you know what I mean.For future reference, you might want to give image files names other than "DeppTrump1.jpg" and so on when asking us "Who is this actor playing Donald Trump?"
