On Friday to add to Donald Trump's growing list of problems, CNN released the transcript
of the infamous meeting where Donald Trump not only boasted about retaining classified
information, spilled the beans about that classified information to the people at the
gathering, and then also admitted that he didn't have the authority to declassify it.
And it was in fact, still classified.
This transcript has completely blown up.
The only possible legal defense that Donald Trump may have.
And that, of course, is to go out there and prove to the judge that, Hey, I declassified
all of this, so don't you worry about it because it's declassified.
No harm, no foul.
Thank you.
I'll take my documents and leave.
You're on tape admitting that that is not true.
So I can't wait to see what Donald Trump's remaining idiot lawyers have to say in court
about that.
But here is what Donald Trump said on that tape, and we now know, well, with Millie,
talking about General Mark Millie, uh, let me see that.
I'll show you an example.
He said that I wanted to attack Iran.
Isn't that amazing?
I have a big pile of papers.
This thing just came up.
Look, this was him.
And at that point, according to the audio, you hear the rustling of papers as if Donald
Trump is waving it around, showing people, look at this classified document that I have.
He then goes on to say, they presented me this, this is off the record.
You probably should have started with that, by the way.
But they presented me this, this was him, this was the Defense department, and, and,
and him.
We looked at some, this was him, okay?
For love of God, dude, quit repeating yourself.
This wasn't done by me.
This was him.
I just found, isn't that amazing?
This totally wins my case, you know, except it is like highly confidential secret.
This is secret information.
Look, look at this.
And then once again, you hear rustling as if he's waving it in front of people.
He also admitted at one point, of course, he said, as president, I could have declassified,
but now I can't.
Congratulations, you just lost your case like a hundred percent.
You cannot walk away from that.
Literally, the only thing that Donald Trump has going for him, and I'll admit this, is
a big thing he's got going for him, is that the case, of course, has been assigned to
Judge Eileen Cannon, who of course is the Trump appointed judge, who originally got
in front of the documents.
Case, gave Donald Trump everything he wanted, but even with all that, still wasn't good
enough, uh, to prevent all of the horrible things that have happened to him since then.
But Judge Cannon, of course, being the judge overseeing this pending, by the way, the DOJ
is likely going to request a, uh, different judge.
They're gonna say that she needs to recuse herself, point to her past conduct, where
she did, by the way, get smacked down
By an appellate court for not doing things properly.
So there is a good chance she does get removed from it.
There's a chance she doesn't.
So let's assume for a minute that she doesn't get recused.
You still have all of this evidence, and Judge Cannon does not get to be the one to decide
the fate of Donald Trump.
In the case that is up to the jury.
Of course, we're dealing with the South Florida jury.
It's a mixed bag.
You could get a whole bunch of Trump supporters there.
You could get a whole bunch of Trump haters.
We don't know.
We'll wait and see.
But Judge Cannon, as the judge overseeing it does of course get to, uh, preside over
the jury selection.
She gets to make the rules for that.
So she could skew that in Trump's favor.
Um, she gets to decide what evidence can and cannot be presented, so she could skew that
in Trump's favor.
And of course, most importantly, if sh if he is convicted, she would be the one that
gets to do the sentencing.
So she could be like, yeah, you get two hours of community service.
Um, so yeah, she could really blow up this case and she could also not have that much
of an impact on it.
It's gonna remain to be seen.
So that's what we're dealing with here.
But with this new information, with this official transcript, that of course, now that the indictment
has been unsealed, we know that this tape played a massive role in charging Donald Trump
with violations of the Espionage Act.
He is screwed.
And if he were in front of an actual impartial judge, I would say without a doubt he's going
to jail.
But because it's Judge Cannon, that may be the only thing that saves Donald Trump from
prison at this point.
