In reply to the discussion: Bradley Moss - Great summary of the DOJ filing last night! [View all]Jarqui
(10,932 posts)49. I described that DoJ response to a Republican friend as 'bullshit remover'
At the outset of this Special Master case, I agreed with those who thought this effort by Trump was a mistake for this reason:
The DoJ, who are normally silent, got to lay out a bunch of what occurred backed by evidence in a venue when Trump cannot lie without perjury. DoJ even blew up his passport complaint.
We'll see this evening what Trump narrative can salvage. I doubt very much.
As the 60 election fraud cases showed, court cases are great at ending Trump's bullshit. It's all about evidence and facts. One can lie their head off to the media and get away with it (these days) but they can't make evidence and facts up in court.
All Trump is proving here, once again, is that he's a dishonest fool.

He did have to pay 20M for the Trump U scam ... and I'd imagine he's lost some other civil cases

Mango managed to pay with other people's money (loans, money-laundering, grifts, stiffs, u-name-it)

Do we (the DU collective) think DOJ knows what Trump DID with the documents?

Speculation about Trump's crimes is not unfortunate. It is the prudent, moral, practical reaction

One Grass, if the US government is totally clueless about what Trump did with the docs, we are sunk.

I think some docs were souvenirs or trophies, but most served a bigger purpose.

I've been wondering that. Ideally an index of highly sensitive documents exists that the FBI could

I wonder if they found the linguist's notes of Trump's private meeting with Putin.
