Special master to Trump’s lawyers: ‘You can't have your cake and eat it’
Judge Raymond Dearie pushed Trump’s lawyers repeatedly for not backing up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.www.politico.com
“Judge Raymond Dearie repeatedly challenged Trump’s lawyers for refusing to back up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.“
“Dearie bristled at the effort by Trump’s lawyers to resist his request for proof that Trump actually attempted to declassify any of the 100 documents that the Justice Department recovered from his estate. Without evidence from Trump, Dearie said his only basis to judge the classification level of the records was the fact that they all bear markings designating them as highly sensitive national security secrets — including some that indicate they contain intelligence derived from human sources and foreign intercepts.“
Because they do not think it is an issue to offer a defense for at this stage. They think the burden should be on the government to show he has no right to the documents.I wonder why Trump's lawyers wont declare in the courtroom,under oath that Trump had indeed declassified all of these documents as he claimed he had?
You need to read the article. The Special Master is asking for specifics on the What,When,Where and How Trump declassified these documents. Trump's lawyers wont state under oath Trump actually declassified these documents. Here let me help:Because they do not think it is an issue to offer a defense for at this stage.

That is the reason.

Judge Raymond Dearie pushed Trump’s lawyers repeatedly for not backing up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.
Trump has argued that the 11,000 documents taken from Mar-a-Lago by the FBI pursuant to a search warrant last month were rightfully in his possession, including about 100 bearing classification markings that suggest they contain some of the nation’s most closely guarded intelligence.
But Dearie bristled at the effort by Trump’s lawyers to resist his request for proof that Trump actually attempted to declassify any of the 100 documents that the Justice Department recovered from his estate. Without evidence from Trump, Dearie said his only basis to judge the classification level of the records was the fact that they all bear markings designating them as highly sensitive national security secrets — including some that indicate they contain intelligence derived from human sources and foreign intercepts.
From the outset of the 40-minute hearing, Dearie signaled that he was determined that Trump’s “litigation strategy” would not interfere with the review Dearie has agreed to do. The judge appeared to be referring to vague assertions of declassification by Trump’s side, without so far any facts to back that up.
“I can’t allow litigation strategy to dictate the outcome of my recommendations to Judge Cannon,” Dearie said.
The judge, a veteran of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, expressed puzzlement about what his role would be if the government says certain documents are classified and Trump’s side disagrees but doesn’t offer proof to challenge that.

How is showing evidence that the documents had indeed been declassified as the Judge requested " mounting a defense'?However, Trusty complained that the former president shouldn’t have to mount a defense now to criminal charges that have yet to be filed.
“It’s not about gamesmanship. It’s about not having seen the documents. ... We are not in a position, nor should we be in a position at this juncture, to fully disclose a substantive defense,” Trusty said. “We shouldn’t have to be in a position to have to disclose declarations and witness statements.”
You are beyond hope.How is showing evidence that the documents had indeed been declassified as the Judge requested " mounting a defense'?
that's absolute nonsense
nice deflection and non answer. Trump has claimed from the start he declassified the documents...................why wont his lawyers testify under oath that he did just that?You are beyond hope.
