That’s not me saying it, it’s Donald Trump saying it. Based on a discovery request filed Tuesday night, this is apparently going to be his defense in the classified documents case:
The court papers, filed in Federal District Court in Fort Pierce, Fla., gave the clearest picture yet of the scorched earth legal strategy that Mr. Trump is apparently planning to use in fighting the classified documents indictment handed up over the summer.
….Mr. Trump’s filing appeared intended to paint Mr. Trump as the victim of the spy agencies that once served him and of purported collusion between the Biden administration and prosecutors who have filed some of the four criminal cases he now faces.
….In the filing on Tuesday night, Mr. Blanche and Mr. Kise asked Judge Aileen M. Cannon, who is overseeing the classified documents case, to force Mr. Smith to give them any “documents and communications reflecting bias and/or political animus toward President Trump” by members of his own prosecution team.
Poor Donald, always a victim. What he’s saying here is that he plans to turn the trial into a political circus, claiming that the charges were only brought in the first place because everyone has it out for him. If not for that, he would have gotten away with everything.
This isn’t surprising. The evidence against Trump in the documents case is so overwhelming that he really has no choice except to change the subject. So sure, he took the documents. And then refused to give…
