It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that former president Donald Trump will try everything in his box of tricks to delay the inevitable: his being tried for at least one of his many crimes: his improper handling of government classified material, thereby putting out national security at risk,
In his latest attempt at subverting our justice systems, the twice-impeached Trump asked a federal judge to let him employ a “third-party attorney” to, supposedly, go through the all the material the FBI retrieved from Mar-a-Lago, in Florida.
Of course, in all likelihood, Trump is going to get what he wants, since the federal judge he asked for this favor happens to be one appointed by him,
If the judge does decide to grant Trump’s requests—Trump lucky like that; it’s the story of his life: getting away with fooling the US justice system—the Justice Department should ensure that there are procedures in place to prevent any further disclosure of US TS/SCI information to people who have no business looking at them.
Because, in all likelihood, this “third party” was procured with the sole purpose of getting his—or her—eyes on the classified material (probably of photographing it so that Trump can then provide them to his friends in Russia, or to others). Because this is the true reason that classified material was still at Mar-a-Lago: Trump was probably advised by his handlers in Russia to move the material from the White House to Mar-a-Lago so that they (the Russians–or others) could have unfettered access to it.
Let’s hope the federal judge decides to put American national security interests ahead of the interests of a disloyal man whose only aim is advancing his own interests, not those of the United States. That is, that he –or she– denies Trump petition for this “third-party.”
I urge the public servants at Justice Department to move forward with the prosecution of this case as soon as possible and to not let themselves be bogged down by the never-ending legal maneuverings of Trump and his cronies.
