Quoted: Why are you so committed to this fight? After everything that's happened (as you were told it would) you continue to lose what little credibility you possess (which is none btw). You do understand you and your comrades are not helping the DOJ/Dems right? View Quote At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if this were a reverse psyop designed to keep the persecution of Trump in full focus on what is supposedly one of the most conservative sites on the internet. Plant a few people to keep the Liberal talking points front and center 24/7 and grind them into dust every day. I'm sure most lurkers would agree that although these threads grind on painfully, with the underscores never yielding an inch... Our side, by necessity, is kept fully aware of every single minute talking point/argument/detail and has the receipts necessary to expose these criminals for the traitorous pieces of filth that they are. 5GW |

Quoted: Not really. Mostly problems with the chain of custody go to weight not to whether it would be admitted. Sometimes evidence can be so compromised that it cannot be admitted. We will see with this but my wild speculation is that the evidence would be admitted and a competent lawyer would spend hours and hours on C/X attempting to challenge the verity of the evidence.

Quoted: 1. I care about the truth, I want to know for myself what's true and what's not regardless of my preferred narratives. (In this case, my preferred narrative is that all of this is just a really bad dream. ) 2. I think it's a good thing to help people if you can, so when somebody asks if they are understanding things correctly and I think I have information relevant to their question, I try to be helpful and offer what I can. 3. If I have no credibility, then I guess it's a good thing I don't make posts that are based on my credibility. View Quote Credibility in GD is a contradiction in terms. Truths which are inconvenient or which are not supportive of the GD political position at the moment, are generally unwelcome and often met with attacks. The consolation is aspiring to popularity in GD is hardly a lofty aim: enjoy the jousting, don’t take it personally and don’t expect to change anyone’s position. The flip side is that there are many subject matter experts here and it is a wonderful resource for information. |

Is that what constitutes the chain of custody issue? Is Trump’s team contesting the actual content of what was taken from MAL? View Quote It’s not a chain of custody issue if there was no break in actual custody. It’s an organizational flaw. For example if 10 boxes of evidence are secured in a container which remains in steady custody but the order of the boxes change or the individual files in the boxes are not kept in sequential order, that is hardly a fatal to the weighing of the evidence itself... if however evidence is left unsecured where it could be accessible or tampered with then there is a break in the chain of custody and that evidence can be challenged and deemed inadmissible. Back in the day we were specifically prohibited from leaving evidence in a departmental vehicle. If we were logging in evidence directly from the crime scene we had to keep it in our possession the entire time and defense counsel often questioned how the evidence was treated if there were extended periods between recovery and the securing of evidence in the evidence section. |

Quoted: The Special Counsel admitted they can't specifically say what came from what box at this point. View Quote Where did you see that? I read the opposite--they said the only change might be the order, but the contents of each box are as they were originally and as they were cataloged, except for placeholders substituted for classified documents that needed to be secured separately. Attached File The note at the bottom says they told the judge in a hearing that the boxes are in their "original intact form as seized", but the order of documents in the boxes might have changed. Elsewhere on page 7 of the same document they say there might still be some duplicate handwritten placeholders left somewhere. That's quite different from "we don't know what came from what box". Quoted: You glossed over the pages prior to that.

We used to use a manual bates machine to number each page... I suspect they have a more sophisticated methodology these days. In any event, it is the job of a good defense counsel to point out and make the most of any deficiency, meaningful or not, piss poor or not. The addition of organizational folders or the production of files in non-sequential order has little legal gravitas. At least in my view. I suspect they are all somewhat careless with the handling of protected documents. But Trump did a lot to bring this upon himself. Had he quickly agreed to return the documents and provided a milquetoast excuse I suspect this would’ve been a minor blip. Instead he doubled down, refusing to return them, possibly lying about possession, showing them off, and possibly keeping documents containing nuclear information. In my view that one typical of trump’s lack of sophistication and foresight. We live in a highly partisan nation, why give this opportunity to the Democrats? |
