Conservative ex-judge: Trump ‘dared’ DOJ to prosecute him

Former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig is putting Donald Trump in his place — and making a record — once again.

Luttig, who was appointed to the bench by George H.W. Bush and was floated as a possible GOP Supreme Court pick, wrote on Tuesday night that any administration, Democratic or Republican, would have charged Trump for violating the Espionage Act and other federal statutes:


Indeed, following Trump's arraignment, Luttig wrote that the defendant “dared, taunted, provoked, and goaded” Smith and his team to bring charges:


Echoing points I’ve made here on the Deadline: Legal Blog that Trump’s alleged obstruction is likely what put him over the edge into charging territory, Luttig wrote that Trump “could have avoided and prevented this prosecution” and “would never have been indicted for taking these documents.”


The former federal judge’s point aligns with past Justice Department practice, as I’ve noted in explaining why others who’ve cooperated in classified documents investigations — such as Pence — haven’t been charged but Trump has.

Luttig’s lessons likely won’t reach Trump supporters as they desperately mount avant-garde legal defenses by misreading and misapplying the Presidential Records Act and prior precedent.

But it’s nonetheless important to make these points — not only for those willing to hear them but for the historical record as well.

Your post fell apart when you showed us Bush appointed him....

Another worthless POS RINO. Big surprise. Out of Hillary Clinton, Pence, Biden and Trump, Trump is the only one with full authority to take home records and the only one this bloviating asshole would prosecute.
