We’ve talked at length about Trump's exposure in the documents/obstruction case now charged in Florida. But, nobody has been talking much about the co-defendant; Trumps “body man”, Waltine Nauta. What’s his exposure? What’s his incentive to plead guilty or testify against Trump? What is his mitigation story? Therefore, in order to be fully Set For Sentencing on this case, we gotta talk about the other guy along for this ride.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Sentencing guidelines for Trump's Co-defendant;
- Why the talking heads are getting it wrong on Trump's guidelines;
- Analysis under 18 USC 3553 to begin to more accurately predict the outcome;
- The double edged sword of mitigation, in this case his history of military service;
- Predictions as to whether he will “flip” and cooperate against Trump;
- The low down on Judge Aileen Cannon;
- Whether judges really care about getting reversed on appeal;
- Thoughts about what the Department of Justice looks like if Trump gets re-elected;
- How all the undermining of trust in the FBI and DOJ will result in more acquittals.
