Trump Campaign In Full Panic After Judge Suggests Trump Committed Crimes - Ring of Fire



Donald Trump's campaign appears to be in full panic mode after a new report says that a federal judge is pretty sure that Trump lied to his own attorneys and committed a crime in doing so in the ongoing classified document investigation. The campaign released a statement railing against ABC News who reported the story, but the information from the story can't be dismissed that easily. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

The Trump campaign lashed out at a ABC News yesterday after they reported that the lawyer, uh, judge, excuse me, who was overseeing parts of the document case last week, ruled that Evan Corcoran, the lawyer who drafted the sworn affidavit, signed by Christina Bob attesting to the fact that we have no more documents at Mar-a-Lago. Everybody's looked, we couldn't find them. And the judge said, hold the hell up, Evan Corcoran. You gotta go back to back to the special prosecutor, back to that grand jury. You have to answer these specific line item questions because you do not in fact have attorney-client privilege. The judge last week ruled that the DOJ had done a sufficient job in arguing that the crime fraud exception to attorney-client privilege should in fact be applicable here. And therefore Evan Corcoran, your testimony is not prohibited. You gotta go back because he had testified in January, you gotta go back and give them more information.

So that's where we are now. And of course, the big thing is that the judge basically said it's obvious Trump committed a crime. And it's that part that Cynthia Trump campaign over the edge, and they release this statement that reads like it was either dictated or typed out by Donald Trump himself. Here's what they said, shame on fake news. ABC for broadcasting illegally leaked false allegations from a never Trump. Now former chief judge against the Trump legal team, this disinformation is on par with their breathless. Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, and no collusion Mueller speculation, all of which were totally disproven. No, no, actually they weren't. These leaks are happening because there is no factual or legal basis or substance to any case against President Trump. The deranged Democrats and they're comrades in the mainstream media are corrupting the legal process and weaponizing the justice system in order to manipulate public opinion because they are clearly losing the political battle.

Actually, polls show they're not losing the political battle. And in fact, you at the moment are once again losing to Joe Biden in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. So no, Democrats are not losing biden's approval ratings going up. Uh, Republican's approval ratings going down. Majority of people in this country, 62% do believe that you have committed a crime. Not even necessarily in this particular instance, even though a majority of people do think it did break the law with the documents, which is what this case pertains to. So no matter what investigation, majority of people do think you broke the law. So in the court of public opinion, you've already been convicted. So let's just make sure all of that's out in the open. But what law is it that the DOJ was able

To successfully show the judge we think he committed, which would force Evan Corcoran to go back and give more testimony? See, this one was tricky because at first I had assumed like many others that Donald Trump and Evan Corcoran just straight up lied to the federal government about not having any more documents. Cuz again, that document, the sworn document saying we have no more documents was sent in June. The F b I went down there in August and found all the documents. So it was assumed, of course, that Corcoran was working hand in hand with Donald Trump. But the DOJ and the judge who ruled on this case seemed to think that that's not what happened.
