The redactions helped
to shorten the reading time, which today is helpful to me.
I don't think this release hurt anything. It just shows the structure and function of the system, which we already gleaned. The definitions are the same as the affidavit in Reality Winners case.
Exhibit 1 is the letter from Trump's attorney to DOJ. In it he emphasizes that 18 USC 1924, which he claims is the principle statute that is applicable, does not apply to the President because he is not an employee, etc. This alarmed me until I realized that the search warrant never mentioned violation of this code. They brought forth 793 and 2071, which state "whoever" without distinguishing the President from the pack.
It might have been a clever ruse to confuse the issue, but the attorney is talking to other professionals. He also wanted his letter shown to anyone who was thinking of charging tRump with anything. That's his job, but who is he kidding? Judges and other attorneys would know.
I think it's pretty clear that Trump has been caught with his tiny fingers in the cookie jar.
