Affidavit Gives DOJ Enough to Indict Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz SaysDonald Trump's former attorney Alan Dershowitz said that the unsealed affidavit supporting the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago gives the Justice Department enough evidence to indict the former president.
In an interview with Newsweek, Dershowitz said, "It sounds like there would be enough for an indictment, but like probable cause, an indictment is easy to get," explaining that prosecutors could simply point to the materials found at Trump's residence that he had unlawful access to.
On Friday, Judge Bruce Reinhart unsealed a redacted version of the affidavit, which revealed that the DOJ had been looking into Trump's mishandling of presidential records since May 2021, when the National Archives and Records Administration first reached out about missing documents.
The affidavit revealed that of the hundreds of documents at Mar-a-Lago, 25 were marked "top secret," 92 were marked "secret" and 67 were marked "confidential."
Впрочем: Dershowitz, who served on Trump's defense team during his first impeachment trial. said that prosecutors would be unlikely to indict Trump because of how unprecedented indicting a former president and potential presidential nominee is. However, he noted that if prosecutors went for an indictment, the redacted affidavit would likely give them enough to get one.
Я же остаюсь при своем мнении:
Если Трампу в итоге не предъявят обвинения, это будет очень странно. Аргумент Дершовица, "how unprecedented indicting a former president and potential presidential nominee is", кажется мне удивительным. Ну, так и обыск резиденции бывшего президента не имел прецедента. Сам Трамп, живая карикатура в роли президента, не имел прецедента...
Украина вон все время проигрывала в плей-офф к ЧМ или ЧЕ. Пока наконец не выиграла.
P.S. Самого интервью Дершовица я не читал, комментирую только короткий пересказ по ссылке.
