They are involved in so much of Trump’s criminality, most you don’t yet know about, and they know Trump will throw them under the bus. Nauta is not the only fall guy if need be. All of them should be behind bars, and some gagged, as their intention is intimidation from jury pool up. The chief mobster should be in prison now, instead of allowing him to participate in his favourite hobby, lying and spreading hate.

One thing to point out is that this situation is unprecedented. No roadmap exists because Presidents don't do this. Another thing is that Presidents are kind of an American equivalent of Kings, and as such are shown a great deal of deference. And then there's the political dimension which means showing more leniency than usual in an effort to deflect accusations of persecution for political ends (the non-existent witch-hunt).

In a trial they'll have to answer questions under oath, rules of evidence will apply. So yea, I can see him taking to trial. After all what has trump got to loose?

Two points: 1. The guy who said he didn't have the right to delete the server probably wasn't actually raising a legal concern. I think the word "right" actually referred to his access privileges, which some people call access rights. He probably had a user password that gave him the "right" to view the files, but not delete them. An administrator password would be needed to delete. 2. This is a brilliant legal strategy by the special council because it forces Trump and Nauta to turn on each other. Trump's only defense is to claim Nauta acted alone and without Trump's knowledge or consent. So expect to see Nauta get his own attorney soon.

the people who were supposed to stop this from happening did nothing to stop him, from the gop who made excuse after excuse for the lies in the very early days of his presidency, to the aides who allowed him to mishandle documents that they should have insisted on collecting at the end of the days work. if you give someone like donald tramp an inch he will take a mile. they all failed and they all knew what he was like
Excellent, as always. Thank you. : )

"Somebody out on bail who has clearly shown his utter disregard for the law", says it all. LOCK HIM UP! Judge Cannon? Anybody home? Patriot of traitor? If you do not lock him up, you might as well throw your legacy into the ash can (do we still have those?).
This isnt someone who really believes he's entitled to have these documents.

To anyone who respects the law this is an open and shut case. But what does Loose Cannon plan to do to sabotage it?
If they cart him off in a police van, they should drive recklessly and ignore his pleas if he complains about getting paralyzed from being tossed around. If Orange is the new Black, fair is fair.
Donald’s presidential library will have the great number of books written about him, about working for him, and about the huge success he’d been (at destroying the lives and livelihoods of the masses). Imagine that!

According to Tom Clancy novels, the odds of a leak is equal, not to the number of conspirators (arithmetic), but to the square of the number of conspirators (exponential), 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 etc.

Mr. Thrush sees it clearly: Donnie was panicked when he issued those orders. But now, I imagine Donnie's blubbering, apoplectic, AND panicked. Picture Kyle Rittenhouse "weeping" on the stand ... but it's Donnie's face. So sad for Donnie. So sad for ALL of us who had to put up with his immaturity and cruelty. Donald Trump was, most definitely, the absolute worst person to have ever sat in the Oval Office. Such a disgrace.
I haven't heard any news folks mention this: When the guys said, "I don't think I have the rights to do that." The "s"on rights is very key. It's possible he was referring to the access to do it, not the fact that he felt it was wrong to do. It's possible that he would have done it if he had the computer admin rights to do it. Just something worth following up on, I think.

Employee number four may have said "he didn't think he had the rights to do that." But if he were an IT person he may have meant he didn't have the ability to change or erase files on the computer due to his not having full administrative rights. It seems to be widely accepted he felt he should not do so. I can't tell which is correct but either way this guy escaped by the skin of his teeth.
