Trump and his latest claims to defend himself just make my head hurt. His supporters desperately want to believe him & that is dangerous for our country. — PolitiTweet.org

@0311OpEssexman I'm not sure why everyone either assumes or wants to hope empty folders once contained classified docs. I have boxes of empty manilla folders & I have empty classified ones (that just looked cool). There would have been tons of empty folders available to take. Occam's Razor. — PolitiTweet.org

I have never seen @PoliticsProse bookstore as crowded for signing as it was tonight for @maggieNYT (interviewed by @kaitlancollins). Only way to see them from my spot was on store's computer screen!

@balloutd I will respond! Thanks! — PolitiTweet.org

In my view presence of empty classification folders likely reflects trophy material rather than missing classified docs. More importantly, "more combative camp" of Trump's lawyers said to have "won out" as to how to respond to DOJ are leading their client into an indictment. — PolitiTweet.org

But when will federal policy convert #marijuana use to be equivalent to alcohol for purposes of #securityclearance adjudication. How about tasking @ODNIgov to modify current policy? — PolitiTweet.org

Important thread from knowledgable individual @DavidPriess abt PDBs. 👇👇👇 Too many of Trump's inner circle handling natsec matters, especially at end, were inexperienced and/or incompetent. The good ones were unfortunately marginalized. I speak from personal experience. — PolitiTweet.org

@petelapp @bhba This is just one of many sources proving this issue. Nor do Wikileaks' released docs reveal countless US war crimes. Many were historical or revealed that US was saying publicly what it discussed privately. Assange supporters often push ideological agenda rather than law or fact — PolitiTweet.org

I have no problem w/anyone exercising legal right to seek further judicial review but very clear these efforts are delay tactics, which is part of Trump's pattern & practice. — PolitiTweet.org

@petelapp @bhba With Assange & Snowden supporters the cries are always same: no fair trial will occur. But that is bc they only see fair trials as meaning "acquittal". If facts or law support acquittal, I'm ok with that. But fair trial can also include conviction, which they will not concede. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq

@petelapp @bhba Assange, who publicly attacked me on Twitter (or at least Wikileaks did), is self-described #anarchist & whether #journalist or publisher is open to debate & challenged among many mainstream journalists. Lots of understandably biased statements abt laws & policies by his attnys. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq

@petelapp @bhba This was very interesting discussion & I so wish I could have participated to legally/factually counter many of Assange lawyers' assertions. I have handled #EspionageAct cases, routinely rep media, sue USG over #1stAmendment, pursue war criminals & even rep'd #ChelseaManning. — PolitiTweet.org

To those of us who dealt with (indeed represented) WH officials during Trump Administration, nothing here is surprising. It was disorganized mess from outset, replete w/inexperienced ppl who wouldn't or couldn't follow rules & procedures. #Payback https://t.co/J9PnKQmqZm — PolitiTweet.org

@jeffersonmorley @wbaidlaw Jeff, I presumed you were referring to reporters as "collaborators". If so, not prosecuting them is irrelevant to espionage allegations. If referring to China or Russia, that's open question but I know of no real proof. He was charged under #EspionageAct & that was proper. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq

@jeffersonmorley @wbaidlaw It's free country to disagree Jeff, but what do I know - I only handle these cases as an attorney on daily basis. But thanks to Snowden going criminal route, we'll never know. So it's sadly academic. But I said nothing abt prosecuting Snowden collaborators, nor has Govt. — PolitiTweet.org
