Key Details about Trump's lawyer for the Mar-a-lago cases


Emptywheel is nearly always excellent. No disappointment with this post:

KEY DETAILS ABOUT EVAN CORCORAN THAT EVAN CORCORAN DID NOT DISCLOSE TO JUDGE AILEEN CANNON (CAPS from Emptywheel blog)
https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/08/29/key-details-about-evan-corcoran-that-evan-corcoran-did-not-disclose-to-judge-aileen-cannon/

DoJ has until tomorrow to respond. As of the writing of the judge's order, DoJ had not been properly served

Evan Corcoran is a lawyer for Trump.

Emptywheel documents a bunch of the issues related to Corcoran and this Special Master case.
I'll let their good blog speak for itself.

Corcoran did the search for the classified documents in June and drafted the letter that the OAN Tv personality lawyer (Christina Bobb) signed.

The OAN TV personality lawyer (Christina Bobb) signed the letter because she was the custodian of the documents.
So who gave her and Corcoran top level security clearance and when? ....

And since they were involved in the search and the letter falsely declaring to the FBI that there were no more classified documents at Mar-a-lago, who is the lawyer representing them against the potential obstruction charges?

Corcoran has some significant conflict of interest issues here as Emptywheel points out. It's a great blog post.

Tomorrow, DoJ has to respond (as they finally got served properly).
They're going to cream these buffoons on the Presidential records act, etc.
Wednesday is not going to be a good day for Trump with respect to this case as the media covers the response

This is just gob smackingly insane.

An OAN TV personality had custody of these documents? She has a little bit more than significant conflict of interest issues, I'd say.

but hell, I'm not a lawyer, so the eff do I know? Apparently, not a damn thing.

no words.

to rule in his favor. Then he can say he is vindicated and his worshipers will believe he is once again a victim of overreach.

Evan Corcoran and Christina Bobb’s reported statement about classified materials could make them witnesses — or worse.
