DOJ pushing to keep Trump from blocking release of classified docs report on immunity grounds

8. There are 2 others who were charged in that case

and there has apparently been a debate as to whether to continue to charge Nauta and De Oliveira because THEY helped 45 OBSTRUCT JUSTICE by moving boxes around and lying to the investigators.

The original plan was the appeal to at least get their charges reinstated (or at least put on ice).

But you *knew* that right?

Trump’s co-defendants in classified documents case ask judge to dismiss charges against them

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Lawyers for two co-defendants of former President Donald Trump in the classified documents case asked a judge on Friday to dismiss charges against them.

Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira are charged with conspiring with Trump to obstruct an FBI investigation into the hoarding of classified documents at the former president’s Palm Beach estate. All three have pleaded not guilty.

Lawyers for Nauta and De Oliveira asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon during a Friday afternoon hearing to throw out the charges they face, a request opposed by special counsel Jack Smith’s team, which brought charges against them and Trump. The judge did not immediately rule.

The two Trump aides are not charged with illegally storing the documents but rather with helping Trump obstruct government efforts to get them back.

DUers demand that DOJ get "everyone" who was part of this... until they don't.

And again -

"sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity"

Seeing things "differently" when one is presented with FACTS, can often become doing a Kellyanne Conway and pushing "alternative facts".
