Q & A

    -The main topic of the video script is the ongoing legal issues surrounding former President Trump, specifically the discovery of additional classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence and the implications of these findings on the ongoing case.

  • Who is Judge Eileen Cannon and what is her role in the case?

    -Judge Eileen Cannon is the judge handling the case involving former President Trump. She has recently uncovered and published an 87-page opinion by Judge Barlow that was previously sealed, which approved the testimony of Evan Corcoran, the central attorney involved in the compliance with the search warrant served on Trump.

  • What is the significance of the 87-page opinion by Judge Barlow?

    -The 87-page opinion by Judge Barlow is significant because it approved a subpoena for Evan Corcoran to testify or provide information, indicating that the communication between him and Trump, even though Corcoran was the president's lawyer at the time, is covered by the crime-fraud exception due to the perpetuation of a crime, specifically obstruction of justice.

  • What is the crime-fraud exception and why does it apply in this case?

    -The crime-fraud exception is a legal principle that allows for the disclosure of attorney-client communications when those communications are used in furtherance of a crime or fraud. In this case, it applies because the opinion suggests that Trump's communications with his lawyer were part of an effort to obstruct justice.

  • Who is Evan Corcoran and what was his role in the case?

    -Evan Corcoran is the central attorney involved in the compliance with the search warrant that was served on Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. He is also the subject of the subpoena approved by Judge Barlow's opinion, which requires him to testify or provide information about his communications with Trump.

  • What were the circumstances surrounding the discovery of additional classified documents at Mar-a-Lago?

    -The script mentions that after the service of a subpoena and search warrant, additional classified documents were uncovered in November 2022 in a leased storage unit, in December 2022 in an office at Mar-a-Lago, and subsequently in the former president's own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with legal requests.

  • What does the script suggest about the character of the former president's actions?

  • What are the implications of the additional classified documents found after the search warrant was served?

    -The implications are that the former president may have knowingly lied about the return of all classified material, which could be seen as further evidence of obstruction of justice and a disregard for the law.

  • What is the current status of the case as presented in the script?

    -The script does not provide a specific update on the current status of the case but emphasizes the seriousness of the allegations and the ongoing legal proceedings, including the slow progress of the case under Judge Cannon.

  • What are the two motions from Team Trump mentioned in the script, and why are they considered 'lawless'?

    -The two motions from Team Trump argue that the government committed misconduct, particularly in the FBI raid, because they were authorized to use deadly force. The script considers these motions 'lawless' because they are based on a standard protocol for search warrants that does not imply an intention to use deadly force unless necessary.

  • How does the script describe Judge Cannon's handling of the case?

    -The script describes Judge Cannon's handling of the case as 'slow walking,' suggesting that she is intentionally delaying the case and avoiding making rulings that could be appealed to the 11th Circuit, which might trigger her recusal.

Transcripts

00:00

hi everyone Harry here to talk about

00:03

more outrageous news coming from Mar

00:07

Lago uh so the the judge handling the

00:11

case Eileen Cannon uncovered published

00:15

what had been uh an an 87 page opinion

00:19

under seal by judge barl how from before

00:24

Canon even got on the scene and the

00:27

opinion approved greenlighted the

00:30

testimony of Evan Coran whom you may

00:34

recall as the central attorney um

00:38

involved in the compliance and I say

00:42

that with uh air quotes of uh with the

00:46

search warrant that was finally served

00:49

on uh Trump and uh Mara Lago

00:54

after over 15 months of dithering and

00:58

bobbing and weaving uh and the like and

01:01

Corker and

01:02

recall um had another um attorney sign

01:07

an

01:08

affidavit uh saying that everything had

01:10

been supplied although she fortunately

01:13

for her hedged her bets a little anyway

01:16

this opinion is an approval from barl

01:20

how of a subpoena for Evan Corin to

01:25

testify or provide information on the

01:28

ground that the communication that uh

01:32

between uh him and the president even

01:35

though he is the president's lawyer at

01:38

the time is covered by the crime fraud

01:41

exception in other words it was in the

01:44

perpetuation of a crime and so the

01:47

attorney client privilege yields and

01:50

what crime it's the crime of obstruction

01:52

of justice with which Trump is charged

01:56

in

01:57

marago so now the 87 Pages some of it we

02:01

knew already some of it by the way is

02:04

heavily

02:05

redacted um and uh doesn't give the the

02:09

names of a lot of folks I to include I

02:12

think uh uh NTA and Walt n and Carlos

02:16

dalea the Trump's now

02:19

co-defendants in the marao case but to

02:23

me there's a headline which is that not

02:27

once so we had thought that finally

02:29

Trump uh the search warrant came and

02:32

they certified everything was there and

02:34

it looked like it was a lie that there

02:35

was yet after all of this and recall

02:38

it's 15 months of negotiations with the

02:42

archives and and then a subpoena uh

02:45

served and then um uh back and forth

02:50

when it looks as if they haven't given

02:52

all the evidence and then a search

02:54

warrant uh we thought that after then

02:56

even so there were more documents

02:58

uncovered it looked looks like that

03:00

happened two or three times so let me

03:03

read from barl how's opinion so the

03:06

reason that the um they're going to be

03:10

able to get at the actual Communications

03:14

between Coran and Trump um so the um

03:19

prosecutors demonstrated Trump this is

03:22

from the how opinion instructed his

03:24

lawyers to tell the government all of

03:27

the classified material in his

03:28

possession had been returned so that

03:31

affidavit the Corin had the junior

03:34

lawyer uh sign was according to this

03:38

opinion at the in at the um instruction

03:41

of trump and a representation judge

03:45

baral wrote that the former president

03:47

knew to be wrong a sort of bland

03:51

sounding sentence but you know it's head

03:53

spinning former president of the United

03:55

States tells his lawyer to tell the

03:59

government that has that has both that

04:02

has subpoena them and S search warrant

04:05

that it's all it's all that has subpoena

04:07

them that's the stage we're at now that

04:09

it's all been returned and it's a lie

04:11

it's it's so um sort of stunning that

04:16

you know it's really the most kind of

04:18

encourageable criminal that would still

04:21

be fighting and lying at this stage but

04:24

guess what so here's here's what the the

04:28

sentence that really um jumped out at me

04:31

from the 87 page Howell opinion more

04:34

classified documents still were

04:37

uncovered in November 2022 in a leas

04:40

storage unit in December 22 in the

04:45

office at maral Lago so we did not know

04:48

that uh this whole second round yet and

04:53

apparently sometime thereafter in the

04:55

former president's own bedroom at Mara

04:57

Lago so there it seems like it's a not

05:00

much and a envelope or or folders that

05:04

are largely empty but my god um uh two

05:10

to three rounds of ralat Trent post

05:13

production after the service of a

05:16

subpoena and search warrant that is an

05:19

incorrigible criminal and is how uh

05:23

follows up notably no excuses provided

05:26

as to how the former president could

05:28

miss the classifi side marked documents

05:31

found in his own bedroom at maral Lago

05:34

so this is just a picture of a of a more

05:37

and more incourage guilty uh president a

05:42

taking the Law into his own hands and B

05:44

obstructing a

05:46

federal uh subpoena and and search and

05:50

see plotting with his own lawyer to do

05:54

so it's it's you know mob uh Behavior to

05:59

to the Max and it's a reminder that the

06:03

maral Lago case is very cut and dried

06:09

and very serious and very righteous

06:13

there's really no argument that it's a

06:15

sort of special politization of

06:18

political differences as someone could

06:21

try to do in a far-fetched way about say

06:25

January 6 this this is open and shut

06:30

except uh he has the uh miraculous uh

06:34

Good Fortune to have the you know one of

06:37

the very very few if not unique judges

06:40

in the country who open it but won't

06:43

shut it just she continues does ien

06:46

Canon to slow walking in the meantime

06:49

also yesterday we learned of two motions

06:53

uh from Team Trump

06:56

completely um fictitious completely unw

06:59

warranted completely Lawless uh arguing

07:03

that the government committed uh

07:05

misconduct in the uh in particular in

07:10

the FBI raid and why is that because

07:13

they were authorized to use deadly force

07:17

and the proof for that is a standard

07:19

protocol that here's what you do when

07:20

you go into search and there is what you

07:22

do to go into search searching is a

07:24

dangerous uh situation and you do come

07:27

in with overwhelming Force to make sure

07:31

agents aren't hurt and to um uh make

07:35

sure evidence isn't destroyed but you

07:37

don't deploy that Force unless necessary

07:40

very well-trained federal agents in

07:43

exactly this so there's a uh ridiculous

07:47

suggestion uh meant I think to play and

07:50

maybe s maybe that will successfully

07:53

play with the president's faithful who

07:55

believe that the law enforcement is all

07:58

a a politicized deep state that they

08:01

were preparing to use or ready to use

08:05

deadly force against your former uh

08:08

president now these things of course

08:10

would all seem ridiculous and dismissed

08:13

immediately but then we have the Canon

08:15

wild card and who's to know what she'll

08:17

do with it who's to know what you know

08:20

these the E even the the um information

08:24

that's come out um yesterday because she

08:26

finally unsealed it it's her underlying

08:29

emotions of of what to do have been

08:32

pending oh forever or or so and uh it's

08:37

a it's a shame it's disheartening it's

08:41

kind of scandalous that she you know is

08:45

just gumming this around and and slow

08:48

walking in a way that doesn't even it

08:51

seems you know that it you you might

08:53

think it's that she's overwhelmed and

08:56

not sure what to do but the fact that

08:58

she's so fast ously avoids doing any

09:02

kind of ruling that could be appealed to

09:04

the 11 circuit and Trigger her own

09:06

recusal suggest that in fact it's a more

09:10

intentional course of conduct on her

09:12

part that we sort of knew but this

09:15

Returns the focus especially as the New

09:17

York case is about to end and there's

09:19

nothing on the immediate

09:21

Horizon um so it just you know reminds

09:24

us of what should have been could have

09:26

been in the maralago casee but then this

09:29

re

09:30

that two or three times after the whole

09:34

brewhaha did they have to go back and

09:36

get more documents including the final

09:38

time in Trump's bedroom just uh serves

09:42

to um illustrate what a what a

09:46

completely Lawless indefensible

09:50

incourage

09:51

criminal uh and dangerous of course uh

09:55

talk you know talking about National

09:57

Defense information course of conduct

09:59

Trump is charged with and almost

10:01

certainly guilty of in the mara Lago

10:03

case which for certain will not um come

10:09

to come to um you know fruition uh

10:14

certainly could never be you know come

10:16

to final judgment if he were to win the

10:18

presidency if he were to lose I think it

10:21

should still um you know may maybe she

10:24

can try to slow walk it but the the

10:26

whole uh strategy would have to change

10:29

overnight because her her um incentives

10:32

I think would change and in any event we

10:35

they we wouldn't have the same pressing

10:37

deadline so if if Trump does lose this

10:39

one isn't going away and shouldn't go

10:41

away and we now have an even more

10:44

serious uh addition to the Litany of um

10:49

criminal conduct on his part just the

10:52

naked um uh refusal to comply with you

10:56

know again and again and yet a third

10:58

time with documents in his bedroom a um

11:02

a lawful order from the federal

11:04

government to produce documents the sort

11:06

that was settled in US versus Nixon that

11:09

uh in

11:10

1974 or so that one has no choice and a

11:14

former president has no choice but to

11:17

swiftly uh comply with but uh not Donald
