'You told Trump he could keep the documents': Judicial Watch leader's new legal strategy brutally...

Judicial Watch leader Tom Fitton, the non-lawyer whose legal advice to Donald Trump led to the former president's indictment, came out with a new scheme to help Trump avoid jail time on Thursday.

In a new video he posted to his Twitter account, Fitton argued that special counsel Jack Smith cannot prosecute former President Donald Trump on the grounds that he was not confirmed as a United States attorney by the Senate.

This has not stopped special prosecutors such as John Durham and Robert Mueller from bringing criminal charges against people in the past, and Fitton never raised objections when the Trump-appointed Durham leveled indictments against three individuals in his probe.

Fitton acknowledged that raising this kind of issue was unlikely to go anywhere if brought before D.C. federal courts, but he did think more conservative-leaning courts in Florida might take a look at it.
