Famed Attorney Robert Barnes: Trump Has Long List of Constitutional & Statutory Defenses

And he explains them here.

If you are looking for the “Everything I need to know” post, this is it.

It is amazing how many lawyers on TV either just plain lie or simply do not do their homework. Much of what we see on television about the Trump federal indictment is nonsense designed to play on the legal ignorance of the average viewer.

Aside from the fact that the Espionage Act cannot apply to a President for a litany of reasons, Article II of the Constitution, the caselaw around it, and the Presidential Records Act are what apply. Yours truly wrote a lengthy, but easy to read piece on why the search warrant they used to raid Mar-a-Lago was largely without legal merit and those same arguments apply here.

Famed attorney Robert Barnes explains in even more detail what we described earlier. Watch the video and you will see just how utterly bogus and political their indictment against President Trump is.

Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch also explains more about the case law dealing with presidential records. The courts and the Department of Justice have always taken the view that an outgoing president can determine what documents from his administration are classified, not classified, belong to the government or become personal records. No former president could ever have a presidential library according to this nutty indictment.
