“#Trump is expected to be in attendance Monday in #Florida when Judge Aileen #Cannon presides over a hearing in his classified #documents case in which attorneys will address issues surrounding the classified materials in question.
The hearings will be under seal & held in a SCIF -- a specially-equipped secure room for viewing highly classified materials -- located in Fort Pierce, Florida” #legal#TrumpIndictment
For a guy who complained incessantly that his legal troubles would interfere with his ability to campaign, he sure seems to be spending a lot of time in the courtroom voluntarily. If only there were some reason why he felt his presence could be impactful to the judge in some way… 🤔
All vents and ducts have to be protected to meet the acoustic and security requirements of the SCIF. The walls that surround the duct penetrations have to be finished to eliminate any opening between the duct(s) and the wall(s).
I'm sure other people may have touched on this, but this feels like judge intimidation for him to voluntarily be there. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a SCIF and any classified info, but he could be there with the intent of "I put you there, you make this end well for me; you owe me"
All the legal experts are saying this is highly unusual for a defendant being in such hearing. I suppose the reason for that is that any other defendant accused of this crime would be in prison.
Trump will have a side session with the judge and tell her, "Nice little lifetime appointment you've got here. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it".
Someone from the #Trump team insists all those stolen documents that he hid at Mar-a-Lugo were declassified. Seems no one believes Trump's team, considering they need a SCIF to talk about them.
Maybe #TeamTrump has been lying about that the whole time. And maybe his supporters will see Trump is just a serial liar and a criminal. (just kidding ...#cult members will never stop believing in the Orange Shitstorm)
@GottaLaff “The best candy. The greatest candy. We import it directly from Candyland. People say they’ve never had better candy. But we’re not gonna let them debank her electric car. We got a great deal on the marzipan. Elon brings it back from Mars, only for us…only for us…I knew a stripper named Candy once. True patriot… she said to me once, “sir, you have the best toilets.” She called me sir. They were gold…only had to flush them once. So good.”
@mloxton@GottaLaff people overlook this point all the time because of his “witch hunt” propaganda mantra and bizarre claims about classified documents procedures - we put … HE put … people in jail for far less than what he’s charged with. And, the judge in the case has zero experience with these matters and is making mistakes right and left.
Probably NFL, but yeah, and a ton of InfoSec people are now trying to square standard practices and training with the fact that TFG squirreled away a TON of SCIF-only stuff in a bathroom, a ballroom, in his office, and SHOWED them or gave copies to unknown number of foreign parties.
Likewise, Canon has opened a door that few people ever imagined possible.
@mloxton@Eddiethebulldog@GottaLaff It was clearly prima facie illegal and about as cut-and-dried a case as you will find - he even having admitted it on multiple occasions. I don't think it muddies the waters at all for infosec practitioners
The problem is of course that this judge is either incompetent, corrupt or both which is probably why he appointed her. Doesn't 11th circuit have any powers to remove her? They should. She should be minded in any case not to lash herself to that mast.
@GottaLaff
... and of course, that may require showing even more people the content of sensitive documents or the identities of witnesses, and increase the risks of leakage.
It has always been a Catch-22 that relies on prosecutors not overstepping and judges being trustworthy and trusting prosecutors.
