JUST IN: Trump’s lawyers have responded to the DOJ and it’s unclear whether they understand that acknowledging their client’s “possession of … Presidential records” is admitting that he did crimes pic.twitter.com/gE0b9sojCg

NEW: Legal experts contacted by The Independent described the court filing by Mr Trump’s lawyers as “total bulls**t,” “gibberish,” and containing “nothing coherent”. https://t.co/m0XKVcme4I

THREAD. The fact that Trump never formally declassified anything, and also never raised it to DOJ, but is asserting it (unofficially) now, is actually an incredibly damning admission by Trump. That's because it means that *he wanted these secrets to still have value*

Trump is a criminal defense lawyer's nightmare. His uninhibited mouthing off is actually serving to make the criminal case against him stronger. Patty is correct that the below is a damning admission, not a defense. https://t.co/fsJAjTAuMq

Quick primer on law of evidence: if he's indicted, every word he is saying now, every crazy eruption eg it was the FBI that strew the documents, will be heard by the jury, wh or not he testifies.Will be overwhelming attack on his credibility & proof of his consciousness of guilt.

Habba expresses a truth about the way authoritarians think and operate. Breaking the law is an everyday activity, it is...mundane. https://t.co/2o9HYE73sE
