The Justice Department has convinced a federal judge that former President Donald Trump used one of his defense attorneys in furtherance of a crime or fraud related to the existence of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
The finding part of a major ruling Friday from Judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court makes clear for the first time that the Justice Department is arguing it has evidence that Trump may have committed a crime. And Howell ruled that prosecutors met the burden to overcome Trumps right to shield discussions with his lawyers normally protected under attorney-client privilege.

Judges Nina Pillard, Michelle Childs and Florence Pan of the DC Circuit have demanded more information and arguments by early Wednesday morning, setting a deadline for Trump and his lawyers by midnight and for prosecutors to respond by 6 a.m.

Trump had documents about our remote sensing technology aka spy satellites @ Merde a Logo which no doubt
included our satellites that are over the Ukraine region which I have no doubt he passed onto Putin/Russia. The
mother fucker should be in the U.S. Super Max Prison in Colorado. And he used his lawyer(s) to try to hide his
crimes too.

And that would explain the rush. Smith's team uncovering evidence of him doing that.

(70,490 posts)... can not talk about 95% of it. I was livid when I saw Trump had documents that covered our
satellites @ Merde a Logo because we have had our "eyes on" the Russian & Ukraine for a long
time with satellites in geosynchronous orbits. The man is traitor.
