Gotta call a spade a spade. The overturn of Roe-v-Wade should have been (from a strategic standpoint) delayed by a few years. The GOP f'd this one up. It cost them in 2022, and odds are it'll play itself out again in 2024. Again, I say that from a strategic standpoint only. But it is what it is.
William Barr: “For the sake of the country, our party, and a basic respect for the truth, it is time that Republicans come to grips with the hard truths about President Trump’s conduct and its implications. Chief among them: Trump’s indictment is not the result of unfair government persecution. This is a situation entirely of his own making. The effort to present Trump as a victim in the Mar-a-Lago document affair is cynical political propaganda.” “Here are the plain facts.”
Imagine sitting in the dock and watching at the very people whom you trusted and confided in...testify against you!!!. For Trump , who loved and demanded loyalty so much that must be like a punch in the gut. Trump's legal team now has access to discovery evidence including witness list: report The Department of Justice on Wednesday handed over discovery evidence to Donald Trump’s legal team in the classified documents case, Politico’s Kyley Cheney reports. The discovery evidence includes the list of witnesses who will testify for the government in the case against the former president. “DOJ says it has made its first production of trial discovery to Donald Trump and his team — which means (per the below) he now knows who’s going to testify against him, and roughly what they’re going to say,” Cheney tweeted. According to court records obtained by Cheney, the evidence includes “the grand jury testimony of witnesses who will testify for the government at the trail of this case.” But Trump can’t share the material publicly. On Monday a federal judge approved a protective order special counsel Jack Smith sought to prevent the former president from sharing potentially sensitive information, ABC News reports. Trump last week was charged with 37 counts in connection with his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The protective order includes Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta. The order states that Trump and Nauta "shall not disclose the Discovery Materials or their contents directly or indirectly to any person or entity other than persons employed to assist in the defense, persons who are interviewed as potential witnesses, counsel for potential witnesses, and other persons to whom the Court may authorize disclosure."
