Your honor, I would like the opportunity to interview the underaged girl accusing me of rape, privately in my basement, so we can try to reenact the crime and confirm her testamony.

    This is what happens when so few lawyers will touch you that you have to resort to the ones in strip malls.

    I mean I would go along with it, maliciouscompliance style.

    “So you want to review the evidence?”
    “Yes”
    “In a secure facility?”
    “Yes”
    “On your own?”
    “Well, maybe with my lawyer…”
    “Alright, defendent will be locked up together with their lawyer according to their own wishes.”

      While Mr. Trump’s lawyers refused to offer many details about their preferred location, they told Judge Cannon that it was “a previously approved facility at or near his residence” — an apparent reference to Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida.

      The wording is key. “See, they let me keep it at my residence now, I did nothing wrong.”

    i can’t read the article, so i’m assuming he built a SCIF at Maralago that could be flooded by the swimming pools at any moment

      Sounds to me like their whole argument is "it’s too difficult and expensive to bring trump to the specified secured facility. His lawyers are basically suggesting that since Trump was former president, him and his residence are “secure” because he’s protected by secret service agents and surely that must be “secure enough” for these top secret classified documents

      If by built you mean he’s just planning on reusing the pool shed to store evidence again, yes.

    I think an oubliette is a pretty secure facility. He is very much welcome to stay inside one for the entire rest of his life.

    Mr. Kise also raised objections in his filing about the “voluminous” unclassified discovery evidence the government has provided since June. That includes more than one million pages of records, he wrote, including about 240,000 emails and 315,130 other documents.

    The trove of discovery evidence also includes some 76 terabytes of raw surveillance camera data — or what Mr. Kise described as “more than eight years of CCTV footage.”

    The guy who brags about using his immense resources to overpower those without, complains about being overwhelmed (via his lawyer). Love this play by prosecutors.
