Prosecutors in the special counsel's office have presented compelling preliminary evidence that former President Donald Trump knowingly and deliberately misled his own attorneys about his retention of classified materials after leaving office, a former top federal judge wrote Friday in a sealed filing, according to sources who described its contents to ABC News.
U.S. Judge Beryl Howell, who on Friday stepped down as the D.C. district court's chief judge, wrote last week that prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's office had made a "prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations," according to the sources, and that attorney-client privileges invoked by two of his lawyers could therefore be pierced.
Oh, snap!
I suppose we can expect another blizzard of all cap Trump histrionics.
I wonder how this will be connected to that America-hating groomer Jew bastard Soros.
"attorney-client privileges invoked by two of his lawyers could therefore be pierced".
That's not good for Trump. Not good at all.
I will now open up the topic for the usual tu quoques, red herrings, straw men, false dichotomies, lies, and hysteria.
