Trump lawyer knocked back as he demands Fani Willis turn over already released documents

[Tom of Temecula]

Donald Trump’s lawyers Friday demanded the Fulton County District Attorney’s office hand over documents crucial to their defense in the Georgia election-racketeering case. There was just one problem, which special counsel Nathan Wade was quick to point out. “Everything that they shared was publicly released,” Wade told Judge Scott McAfee.

Wade is referring to Jan. 6 investigation committee members who corresponded with the Georgia prosecutors probing Trump in 2022, as Politico revealed earlier this week. Committee aides allowed Willis’ team to review a limited set of evidence that the prosecutors were not allowed to keep, according to the report.

Despite the public nature of the Jan. 6 committee evidence — the resultant report has its own website — Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow appeared in court Friday to demand Willis’ investigators hand over evidence shared by the House Select Committee.

Sadow’s demands appear linked to claims, raised again by the former president at the start of the New Year, that the committee destroyed evidence exculpating Trump. Specifically, Trump accused former Rep. Liz Cheney of erasing documentation that he offered to provide 10,000 soldiers to defend the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. This claim has been debunked.

1. My client demands to know what was on the 6 o'clock news last night

The prosecution has been unfairly and, we contend, illegally keeping this information from us, and it is vital to our defense!

2. Truth Social?

3. Is that a sombrero on Trump's head?

Is it meant to make a clown out of Trump or a vaquero?

5. It's meant to show that it's his special day and he's a very good boy.

4. They keep proving to be the gang who couldn't shoot straight. Over and over again.

A clown is funny on purpose. This bunch can't do anything right. I'm surprised their law schools haven't collectively disowned them and demanded they return their degrees.

9. They won't because they'd have to give back the tuition

But my opinion of Ivy League schools has drastically declined. THAT'S the kind of people they graduate?

6. Seems like they could have taken care of that with a phone call.

7. LOL. That is so crazy I can only laugh at the utter Trumpiness there.

Geez

8. The best people

10. Who is the "American Gothic" looking character

on the RHS wearing the bow tie? I've seen him several times before in similar pics.

11. You'd think his attorneys would keep track of this stuff

Instead, they treat everything their client blarps out with his stubby little thumbs as the gospel truth. Just because he's riding a new hobbyhorse doesn't mean you have to take it before the judge. There's a reason he runs his mouth in public and shuts his yap when he's under oath.

13. And I have idiot coworkers who think this clown car of lawyers

will take Trump to the promised land of Not Guilty on All Counts. These two spent last spring singing that nothing would ever happen to the guy. They're really moving the goalposts on this one. 91 criminal indictments and counting. Idiots.

14. Not many straws left judge, please give us this one.
