Hey idiot let sum up the actual case the government is going to have. You ready? They recovered classified documents from Trump’s home. That is their case. It’s only you idiots that think this all boils down to whether or not those documents were declassified. In court, the only way that issue is going to be put forward in court is if Trump claims he declassified them as his defense.Tough shit, you imbecile.
Try to follow along with your microscopic brain and utterly shallow capacity for thought.
If this matter were to lead to an indictment against President Trump, and that indictment dared to charge him with a crime based on the Espionage Act, then it would presumably lead to court. If it survived motions to dismiss, etc., then it would go to trial.
This is still America. Therefore, the Government would carry the burden of proof. It is always on the Government. It never shifts under our law.
The United States could prove, I guess, that in his possession on the date of the raid at Mar a Lago, President Trump was in physical possession of several documents still marked as “classified” in one way or another. But, the defense would also get to be heard.
The President would easily be able to offer evidence that he had (while still President) DECLASSIFIED those very same documents. And he wouldn’t even have to take the stand to offer that evidence.
Now, your concern, little billie.zip, is that it would be difficult for the US Attorney to prove that President hadn’t declassified them? You’re whining about the difficulty of having to prove the negative?
Too fucking bad. Tough luck. Them’s the breaks. Don’t like it? Cool. Then don’t bring such an idiotic charge.
But if Brandon (shhhh!!! it can’t be admitted out loud) or his handlers are moronic enough to order the DOJ to seek such an indictment with that charge in it, then the US Attorney is stuck with that burden of proof. Overtly politicizing the Department of Justice comes with some costs, Brandon.
Little billie.zip can cry about that all he wants. It won’t change a thing.
