Legal experts say trump's remarks at a rally in Latrobe are probably admissible evidence of his guilt in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case
"Self-incriminating": Legal experts warn Trump’s admission at rally may be “admissible evidence”

Ho hum. What's admissible against Trump as far as statements not under oath is kind of a joke, since he's already pre-seeded the jury venire with the idea that dishonesty not under oath is a virtue.
I get the idea that his lies, inconsistent statements, and even admissions ought to be admissible, but realistically, will a jury put much value behind it?
Without even getting into the weeds as far as issues, crimes, etc, I think most "legal expert's" opinions" should be taken with a grain of salt.
In the real world, a jury will be presented with evidence, and instructed on how its permitted to construe it, with the judge hopefully being able to give those aweful 403 instructions, but at the end the day, what's an admission against interest really worth against a defendant protesting the legitimacy of the tribunal?

I just don't understand people who think Trump is 100% innocent here. I can respect those that say he is a slimeball and still support him. His attitude and words do appeal to many people. But I cannot respect those that elevate the man as some kind of perfect specimen.

Until he sits in for a deposition, Mar-a-Lardo can say, and will say, anything his imagination comes up with. Truth and facts not required. He can abort a child on 5th avenue, in broad daylight, it would not matter.

@Vin53 someone should ask him to provide proof of which other politicians have taken classified documents home to unsecured locations.

Donald Trump is not really subject to the law; he uses his wealth to appeal so often we'll all be dead by the time anything would happen to him.
