Breaking: Trump admitted to probation officials he has a gun in Florida

Convicted felon possessing firearm =felony

Indicted person receiving firearm in interstate commerce =felony

Condition of release for Trump in DC , FL, GA is not committing a felony
cnn.com/politics/live-…Image
2/ Donald J. Trump condition of release in District of Columbia:

"IT IS ORDERED that the defendant's release is subject to these conditions:

The defendant must not violate federal, state, or local law while on release." Image
3/ Florida arraignment:

THE COURT: Subsection B requires the release to be subject to the condition that the person not commit a federal, state or local crime during the period of release .... I assume the Defendant, former President Trump, has no problems with that condition?

MR. BLANCHE: I assure you he does not, Your Honor.Image
4/ Georgia bond condition for Defendant Donald J. Trump:

"The Defendant shall not violate the laws of this State, the laws of any other state, the laws of the United States of America, or any other local laws." Image
5/ May recall that Trump team once boasted - and then walked back - a claim that he had purchased a gun while on release.

Recall this: Special Counsel Jack Smith submitted brief to DC court saying it could be a violation of his conditions of release.⤵️

6/ Timeline

March 30, 2023: Manhattan indictment

March 31, 2023: Two pistols were turned over to NYPD and a third gun listed on Trump’s license was moved to Florida

April 1, 2023: Trump’s New York concealed carry license suspended

cnn.com/2024/06/05/pol…
7/ Re timing of move to Florida:

"Two of the three pistols he was licensed to carry were turned over to the NYPD on March 31, 2023, and a third gun listed on Trump’s license 'was lawfully moved to Florida,' the person [anonymous senior police official] added"

Lawfully. Hmm.
🤔
8/ "A conviction occurs upon a verdict of guilty."

Court of Appeals of New York in People v. Montilla (2008)

Decision interpreting definition of "conviction" for NY state crime of possession of firearm by person "previously convicted of any crime."

With Todd Blanche taking over the Justice Department.

There will and should be a sharp focus on his gross mishandling/coverup of the Epstein files and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Also do a search for "Deputy Attorney General" to see patterns of misconduct.

justsecurity.org/120547/presump…
2/ Read for yourself:

After outrageous letter by Blanche and Bondi, Judge Novak (Trump appointee) wrote:

“The Court finds it inconceivable that the Department of Justice, which holds a duty to faithfully execute the laws of the United States — even those with which it may have disagreement — would repeatedly ignore court orders, while simultaneously prosecuting citizens for breaking the law."

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ After Blanche's chief of staff violated a court order in Mangioni case, federal judge wrote:

“The Government is also directed to advise the Deputy Attorney General, for dissemination within the Department as appropriate, that future violations may result in sanctions, which could include personal financial penalties, contempt of court findings, or relief specific to the prosecution.”

Jaw-dropping DOJ admissions to court

DOJ admits repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge. ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses!

DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations"

DOJ blames ICE Image
Image
2/ DOJ blaming ICE:

"This error, however, is not caused by a lack of diligence and care by the undersigned attorneys. The undersigned were specifically informed by ICE that the 2025 ICE Guidance applied to immigration courthouse arrests."

"... agency attorney error ..." Image
3/ You can be assured that we'll add this to 5th edition of Presumption of Regularity study.

Currently tracks 90+ cases in which either court determined the Trump administration submitted false information or the administration admitted it.

This is utterly extraordinary.

If Hegseth et al got this wrong, think what else is happening with the drug boat strikes and much more.

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm.

Gets worse as you read it.

1/ Image
2/ "Workers on the farm told The Times that Ecuadorean soldiers .. doused several shelters and sheds with gasoline and ignited them after interrogating workers and beating four of them with the butts of their guns ... later choked and subjected them to electrical shocks."
3/ "The Ecuadorean government said in the news release that it had relied on U.S. 'intelligence and support' to target the farm, which it said was a camp used to train 'about 50 drug traffickers.'”

Key ruling on ICE/CBP operations

Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):

"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."
1/ Image
2/ With a team, I had provided a graphic representation of some of the key declarants in the plaintiffs' case here:

justsecurity.org/130745/minneso…Image
3/ Judge Tostrud:

"These witnesses’ accounts and related evidence show these witnesses were detained by DHS officers and questioned about their immigration status based solely on their race or ethnicity."

Note: Many of them U.S. citizens

NYT adds important context for reporting on Kash Patel and Susie Wiles (plus oddity of Patel being Reuters' source for his own grievance).

[1] "Requests for phone records are common in complex criminal investigations to establish timelines and provide proof of communication." Image
[2] "It has been known for years that Mr. Patel was closely scrutinized by investigators under the special counsel Jack Smith and was compelled to testify in front of a grand jury."

My add/reminder: Kash invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Image
[3] "The fact that investigators obtained some of Ms. Wiles’s phone records was made public during the inquiry into Mr. Trump’s mishandling of classified documents."

Me with a scoop/exclusive

Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities “directed” NY law enforcement authorities to “stand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by DOJ show.
