Scandal-plagued former President Donald Trump is facing the biggest, tallest mountain of legal trouble he has ever seen in his lifetime — and following the public unsealing of DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith’s brutal, 37-count federal indictment, it seems that even the staunchest of Conservative “experts” and talking heads are having trouble finding a way to claim that he didn’t do just exactly what Jack Smith said he did, leaving them floundering instead for a laundry list of weak excuses for why it’s not actually as bad as it seems.
This morning, Don Jr.’s perpetual fiance but never-quite-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, welcomed a well-known Florida judge to her new podcast, The Kimberly Guilfoyle Show, where they discussed the recent, damning developments in the infamous stolen classified document case and the slew of federal felony charges lodged against her maybe-one-day father-in-law. It was pretty clear that the judge was technically on Trump’s “side,” but despite his apparently Conservative nature, he seemed to go a bit off-script when he said that, given the evidence, Trump’s best bet would be to just flat-out admit that the charges contained against him in the federal indictment are accurate, and should instead flip to a motive defense in the case.
In this morning’s podcast episode, Judge Larry Seidlin said, “If I was Trump’s lawyers, I’d say, yeah, all the facts in this indictment are true. I was, in good faith, making a mistake by not sending all those documents back to you. The facts are true.”
Seidlin went on to theorize that the ex-president may not ultimately be found guilty in the document case because the prosecution is lacking a clear motive for what Donald Trump did.

Speaking from Trump’s point of view, the Florida judge said, “I’m not getting any bread from this. I’m a person that loved being president. I loved everything about it, and I kept documents.”
“He holds on to everything. He’s a hoarder,” Seidlin went on to add. “My mother-in-law, I’m afraid one day she’ll pull out a fish that’s 40 years old out of the refrigerator,” prompting a shocked and somewhat disgusted look from Guilfoyle.
“My God,” Kim responded with an awkward laugh.
“But he holds on to stuff, Trump,” Seidlin continued to rant. “So he held on to these documents. He held on to them. Should he have held on to them? It’s a good faith mistake.”
Good luck with that defense, guys.
