Trump now claims classified documents were ‘planted’ in Mar-a-Lago boxes in wild arraignment morning rant
Former president Donald Trump has now claimed that the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago were “planted” in the boxes after they were obtained by the Department of Justice.
In a Truth Social rant, Mr Trump lashed out at Special Counsel Jack Smith on the morning of the former president’s arraignment at a Miami federal courthouse.
“This is the Thug, overturned consistently and unanimously in big cases, that Biden and his CORRUPT Injustice Department stuck on me. He’s a Radical Right Lunatic and Trump Hater, as are all his friends and family, who probably ‘planted’ information in the ‘boxes’ given to them. They taint everything that they touch, including our Country, which is rapidly going to HELL!” Mr Trump wrote on Tuesday morning.
That makes more sense. Well, at least so far as anything Trump says makes sense. I don’t envy his lawyers trying to prove that the FBI came in and planted all those documents and that all the text messages and audio that they got from all the Trump employees’ phones were faked as well.
It’s easy for Trump to do this in a rally. He just yells “FAKE NEWS” and nobody asks him for proof. In court, though, his lawyers will be required to give factual evidence proving that the DOJ made everything up.
I wonder if this is why his recent lawyers quit and others are staying away. He’s telling them “just lie in court and say it was all planted.” Even the worst lawyer will know that this is a Very Bad Idea™.
It’s projection. The purpose of this rant is to motivate radical right thugs to take care of his problem for him. Stochastic terrorism is all the rage now.
I think the link is to the wrong update. If you scroll down there is another article stating he’s going to say the boxes were planted.
Yep, here’s the relevant update:
