Litman: Here's Trump's outlandish and dangerous plan to beat the classified documents case (via latimesopinion )
The Florida jurist could impede the Department of Justice’s effort to hold the former president accountable for his handling of classified records in a few ways.
It was that issue that Trump’s lawyers foolishly chose to emphasize in their last-ditch effort to talk top Justice Department officials out of bringing the charges. And Trump’s former lawyer Timothy Parlatore has suggested that it would be the subject of the first motion Trump would bring before Cannon.
More important, Trump’s shrill claims of misconduct are unlikely to get out of the gate legally. Both the Supreme Court and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals have made it clear that allegations of prosecutorial misconduct are almost never sufficient grounds to dismiss such criminal charges.
