he sent the classified documents to MAL:

‘It’s declassified,’ even by thinking about it because you’re sending it to Mar-a-Lago or wherever you’re sending it. And there doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president. You make that decision. So when you send it, it’s declassified. I declassified everything.”

So, he can't say that these documents left the WH by mistake and he can't blame someone else as he usually likes to do.

Say the 11th Circuit rules against the DOJ, what then?

who went from an election denier to an election believer on the morning after he won the Primary; the Governors of Florida and Texas who lured non- English speaking refugee families on a plane and lied to them about where they were going; the candidate out west who admires the Unibomber; the Rep who kicked a peaceful demonstrator on the street in Washington DC.

The masks are coming off.

here now. Any advice?

asking or expecting you to violate the rules of ethics or the rule of law, you may dismiss that client, no questions asked.

It was always interesting to me to see the look of surprise and relief on the face of a new hire when we told them that.

I would like to believe that for every one lawyer representing Trump, there are dozens who turned him down or walked away before they got burned.

walk away from the White House with 300+ highly classified documents dealing with the national defense unless they have lost their minds. They just don't. Even by Trumpist standards, they don't. Forget whether it's wrong, immoral, criminal, treasonous, it's just nuts. In his shattered mind, what's left of it, he may have stolen the documents because he believed he was President in Exile and wanted to establish a White House in Exile in MAL. There is no way to know what he is thinking because he doesn't know. He is a feral creature now and a dangerous one. Think rabid...the DOJ is.
