Special Master orders Trump to prove he de-classified documents

right. not a real crime.

A crime has not yet been charged. Trump's refusal to provide evidence of declassification because he doesn't want to give up his criminal defense would point to there likely being a crime here and Trump's lawyers fully expect a criminal indictment.

Just like in NY, Trump can't use a criminal defense to refuse to provide evidence in a civil case without consequences in the civil case. His refusal to provide the evidence is seen as lack of evidence on his side so the preponderance of evidence standard comes into play. DoJ- evidence of documents with classified markings. Trump - zero evidence refuting it.

Exactly. Accurately and succinctly stated. Trump can't just claim that he declassified the docs. He has to PROVE it. Just like the Election Fraud charges. It's not enough that he deemed the 2020 election rigged (although it's enough for the MAGA morons). Courts demand proof, not hearsay or conjecture. It's the foundation of our legal process.

Without proof the docs are declassified, then the docs are deemed CLASSIFIED. And if they are indeed classified, then Trump is guilty of illegally possessing classified documents without authority. He is not above the law. And it doesn't help that the Archives office asked him if he'd returned ALL the classified documents in the June 3rd meeting and he said 'yes'. That is obstruction and carries with it more penalties. Yeah, Trump is definitely fucked. Even his own lawyers think so.

Imagine if his sentencing is House Arrest with an ankle monitor in Mar-a-Lago with NO access to the internet or social media. That would slowly kill him. Wouldn't that be funny?

Thats BS. The SM asked trump to prove these documents were declassified. How could he do that if there was no process. Your excuses are pathetic.

MAGA morons are really showing their desperation, throwing anything out there like "there is no official documentation of the process" which is total bullshit and AssHat knows it. They're just coming up with any damage control they can so they don't look so foolish for still supporting this fucking Orange Jesus moron.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that stealing classified documents is a serious criminal offense. Trump is fucked.

This is a civil lawsuit. Are you sure you are a lawyer because you don't seem to know even the basics of burden of proof in a civil lawsuit.

are you claiming the DOJ obtained a warrant in a civil lawsuit....after predicting he was going to prison for stealing nuclear secrets?.........yeah, I know what the burden of proof is in a civil lawsuit......did you know a civil law suit isn't going to prevent Trump from running for president in 2024?.......
 
You are also not a judge. Dearie is a judge. Dearie basically said until Trump provides evidence of declassifying documents they will be presumed to be classified. Trump "can't have his cake and eat it."

well please provide a link the him saying that so we can see if you pulled it out of your ass or not........so far all they've talked about is the timing of the steps of process......

No. I didn't claim they obtained a warrant in a civil lawsuit.
No, I didn't predict Trump was going to prison for stealing nuclear secrets.
Since you claim to know what the burden of proof is in a civil lawsuit, perhaps you can tell us what proof Trump has provided that the documents marked classified were declassified by him.
I never said a civil suit was going to prevent Trump from running for President. He is free to declare his candidacy at any time. His legal troubles may make people think twice before they decide to vote for someone else instead of Trump.

Are you so far down your rabbit hole that you don't follow any reputable news services?

Dearie said the government had presented "prima facie evidence" that the documents are, because they bear classification markings.

"As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of it," Dearie said, unless Trump's team has some evidence to the contrary.

AND...since the original request from the National Archive indicated that they wanted any documents marked CLASSIFIED...it doesn't matter whether they are declassified or not. THEY WERE MARKED AS CLASSIFIED...and that is the matter in dispute.
