Quite the ball busting brief by the prosecution in the Bathroom case. They took the opportunity in responding to a Trump discovery motion to lay out the background facts.
Summary:
"Put simply, the Government here confronted an extraordinary situation: a former President engaging in calculated and persistent obstruction of the collection of Presidential records, which, as a matter of law, belong to the United States for the benefit of history and posterity, and, as a matter of fact, here included a trove of highly classified documents containing some of the nation’s most sensitive information. The law required that those documents be collected. And the record establishes that the relevant government officials performed their tasks with professionalism and patience in the face of unprecedented defiance."
They lay out (again) the whole history of how the government repeatedly tried to get Trump to return documents, and he just responded with lies and various other BS.
And was Trump's discovery motion just another attempt at graymail? 'Stop prosecuting or we will put all these sensitive secret documents into evidence'?
