We appear to have a cooperating witness in the classified documents case, and she's about as close to the Malignant Loser as you can get -- his personal secretary, Molly Michael. As one might expect, she has some explosive information on the Malignant Loser's handling of classified documents, and about a little matter of obstruction:
One of former President Donald Trump's long-time assistants told federal investigators that Trump repeatedly wrote to-do lists for her on documents from the White House that were marked classified, according to sources familiar with her statements.
As described to ABC News, the aide, Molly Michael, told investigators that -- more than once -- she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards, and she later recognized those notecards as sensitive White House materials -- with visible classification markings -- used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters.
The notecards with classification markings were at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate when FBI agents searched the property on Aug. 8, 2022 -- but the materials were not taken by the FBI, according to sources familiar with what Michael told investigators.
When Michael, who was not present for the search, returned to Mar-a-Lago the next day to clean up her office space, she found the documents underneath a drawer organizer and helped transfer them to the FBI that same day, sources told ABC News.
The sources said Michael also told federal investigators that last year she grew increasingly concerned with how Trump handled recurring requests from the National Archives for the return of all government documents being kept in boxes at Mar-a-Lago -- and she felt that Trump's claims about it at the time would be easy to disprove, according to the sources.
And, the kicker, in true mob boss fashion:
Sources said that after Trump heard the FBI wanted to interview Michael last year, Trump allegedly told her, "You don't know anything about the boxes." (our emphasis)
As far as we know he didn't follow that with "Capiche?"
If the Malignant Loser thought he had unlimited rights to have the classified documents "under the Presidential Records Act" (which he doesn't under the Presidential Records Act), why would he want his personal secretary to lie about her knowledge of the trove of boxes holding classified documents? The answer, of course, is that he knew he had no business having the documents in his possession.
This case is looking more and more like a slam dunk for Special Counsel Smith, even with the Malignant Loser Judge Aileen Cannon with her thumb on the scales. Putting the trial off until May 2024 might not be enough to save him from his inherent criminality.
