Aside from Aussie leakage, there's continued idiocy in the MAL documents theft case [1]

Trump keeps trying to postpone the case and continues failing because of incompetence, which may now be seen as deliberate technique. The nine special documents are so sensitive that the SCO isn’t allowed to hold them in their SCIF, and have to go elsewhere to view them. Trump’s team didn’t have a place to view them, but that will be rectified by the end of the week at an available, undisclosed SCIF.

The Justice Department is fighting an effort by former President Trump to delay his documents case until after the 2024 election, pushing back on claims the government hasn’t done its part to provide access to evidence.

A recent motion seeking to delay the process through a law governing the handling of classified records in court “was but a precursor to a motion to continue the trial date,” special counsel Jack Smith’s office wrote in the Monday court filing.

“None of the issues raised in the defendants’ motion warrants the continuance they request.”

The request from Trump’s team last week comes amid complaints from his legal team about the amount of classified evidence they’ve been able to review in the case, as well as their workload, as they manage numerous indictments filed against the former president. They asked to delay the case until “at least mid-November 2024.”
