In this special edition of Fed it, Fed It, I sit down with my boy Andrew from Legal Mindset to talk about the recent indictments of Big Daddy T and Young Thug, as well as some of the other high profile cases that have been brought to light.
00:00:00.800And we are live. What's up, guys? Welcome to FED at 1811. I'm here with my boy, Andrew, from Legal Mindset, man.
00:00:05.740We got a lot to talk about, man. We're going to talk about Trump. We're going to talk about some migrants getting pushed around the country.
00:00:10.160Got a lot to talk about. Let's get into it, baby.
00:00:14.160I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, okay, guys? HSI.
00:00:17.400The cases that I did mostly were human smuggling and drug trafficking.
00:00:22.500No one else has these documents, by the way.
00:23:30.620He was a JAG, essentially, is what he was, which, you know, anyone that's been prosecuted by a military court already knows it's a fucking rap for you.
00:26:40.420So basically, CNN film agents dressed like in jackets marked police HSI as they were moving items from the Park Avenue property Thursday afternoon.
00:26:49.380So this is my former agency, actually, that went ahead and did a search warrant in his house.
00:26:53.000And I'm wondering what the U.S. court documents.
00:29:46.700OK, based on this evidence specifically, this fact, I'm going to assert this.
00:29:52.520It's that I had like if you have an empty folder with a classified banner on it, might you be able to tell what that folder used to contain?
00:30:04.460And I was told, yes, we do have ways to figure that out.
00:31:25.240But, you know, this is as potentially dangerous and damaging as it gets to our nation.
00:31:31.520Just as a quick aside, what's the punishment for any other person other than Donald Trump if they were found to have had been in possession of documents like these?
00:31:39.780Prison, a prompt arrest, a prompt indictment, a prompt prosecution, probably a guilty plea, which is how most of these cases involving mishandling of government classified materials, you know, play out.
00:31:54.900People typically will plead guilty in the gun.
00:31:57.360He is correct about that, that if other people got caught with this, they potentially would be charged, you know.
00:32:02.800So correct about correct about 97 percent, 97 percent conviction rate.
00:33:20.980There's a punishment under the statute.
00:33:22.340Actually, real quick, we should probably tell the people the three crimes that we're potentially looking at here that they actually put in the search warrant, guys.
00:33:30.620OK, that they put that they so when you apply for a search warrant, guys, you have to cite statutes of law that you're using to go ahead and search, you know, the premise.
00:33:41.500And the three laws that they use was this one is the first one.
00:33:48.640And this one, I would say, is probably the most serious, guys.
00:33:52.360For some of you guys that are wondering, this is what they got Robert Hansen under.
00:33:54.720And right now he is in Florence, Colorado, serving a life sentence for, you know, violating this crime, this violated the statute for selling secrets to the Russians.
00:34:03.780Was obviously was Trump selling secrets to the Russians?
00:34:07.080The thing about this one, about 793, this particular statute, it actually technically doesn't matter whether the information is classified or not.
00:34:16.640Yes, technically, this one is just if it's defense information, regardless of whether it's classified or classified.
00:34:22.340So this whole argument about it being declassified.
00:34:24.860So it will go to actually what is the information right now?
00:34:28.460If it's if it's is it actually vital defense information or is it something that is like a trivial detail?
00:35:20.220Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers out, falsifies or makes a false entry in any record document or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct or influence the investigation or proper administration.
00:35:31.320Any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under Title 11 or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case shall be fined under this title in prison.
00:36:00.920And this is the one if they wanted to say if they wanted right now in that stream is why I'm calling them out right now is saying if they really wanted to do a good job.
00:36:07.940And they actually knew what the fuck they're talking about and they actually were, you know, former federal agents like Myron here, they would actually look this up, look at it and be like, yo, under this statute, which is the one that we think is most likely.
00:36:18.280Here's the punishment up to 20 years or fine.
00:36:25.200They could choose not to imprison at all.
00:36:26.780That could be something that does not happen or that the judge doesn't doesn't grant in this particular case because it's something relatively trivial or de minimis.
00:36:34.540So they could they should be reading the statute.
00:36:36.740They're not note that they're not right now.
00:36:40.460Code 2071, concealment, removal or mutilation generally.
00:36:43.280And this one, again, another extremely general statute that they can go ahead and use is almost a catch all.
00:36:48.720OK, and I think this one has a very interesting point to it that you actually noted here, Andrew, which is as used in this subsection, the term office does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the armed force of the United States.
00:37:02.600Basically, you guys violating this statue makes it where you cannot run for office.
00:37:09.180Yeah, it says shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States, which is an interesting thing.
00:37:16.800But then you have to you have to consider the president is not just any old fucking office.
00:37:22.300And the Constitution literally says the requirements for being the president.
00:37:34.840So I don't so it's going to be a really hard argument to say that something prevent that something adds to the Constitution without being a constitutional amendment.
00:37:43.700I think that this law is not a constitutional amendment.
00:37:46.740So I don't think that technically this can change the requirements of the presidency, maybe other positions, but not the presidency.
00:38:22.600No, I also want to bring to everyone's attention here that this is a statute that everyone is saying they're going to use this to try to get Trump to not be able to run office again.
00:38:30.760And my argument to this is it goes here, as he's in the subsection, the term office does not include the office held by any person as a recruited, sorry, as a retired officer of the armed force of the United States.
00:38:42.040Trump's lawyers can argue that as commander in chief of the United States, he is an officer of the military.
00:39:37.800Government will debrief them out the wazoo to make sure we know everything.
00:39:43.580OK, he's talking about if anyone else is caught with national defense information, what the prosecutor, what the prosecution is going to do.
00:39:49.460They're going to just correct, which is true, which is correct.
00:39:52.420But it doesn't apply to the president.
00:39:54.000And Myron and I, if you want to check out the last episode, we went in depth with it.
00:39:57.980It does not apply to the president because the president has a separate process for declassifying information.
00:40:29.700That might result in damage to our national security.
00:40:33.500But we can use the concrete example of a Department of Defense executive assistant named Asia Janae Lavarello, who was serving in Hawaii with the federal government, mishandled a secret document, and also failed to transmit some handwritten notes she had taken that she was authorized to take at a meeting at which classified information was discussed.
00:41:02.020She failed to transport her notes in a secure diplomatic pouch.
00:41:07.180This year, she was put in prison for three years.
00:41:51.880They can also call a grand jury, which is regular citizens, to decide whether, hey, are we going to bring charges against this person or not?
00:41:58.900So this is a different method, but it's still a valid method of bringing an indictment.
00:42:38.540He has a few times tomorrow after doing a million times more by way of criminal conduct and potential damage to our national security than Ms. Lavarello did.
00:42:53.440But still, he's the most persecuted person in history.
00:43:03.280Honolulu women received three months of imprisonment for removal and retention of classified information.
00:43:08.960Asia Jenei Lavarello, 32, ascended to U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii on February 10, 2022, by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Michael Seabright to three months of imprisonment and a $5,500 fine for knowingly removing classified information concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States and retaining it at an unauthorized location.
00:43:27.340Lavarello had pleaded guilty to the charge in July 2021.
00:43:31.060And it's very important to note, guys, that I went ahead and read through this case.
00:43:34.720It was the case was done by FBI and NCIS, who was the Naval Criminal Investigation Service.
00:44:48.320Or as bringing charges against somebody, you know, and these retards are at, you know, IQ level zero here trying to make these things the same thing.
00:45:40.480But, you know, Office of Professional Responsibility, right, they have to open an investigation anytime some type of misconduct is alleged, even if it's unfounded and bullshit.
00:45:51.420So what ended up happening is they went ahead.
00:47:02.160People are going to hate him one way or another.
00:47:03.740I mean, there's some people that kind of give or take it, right?
00:47:08.580I don't think – I mean, for me personally, I'm not very personally invested in Donald Trump personally.
00:47:13.640But if you – once again, if you look at this particular case and you say, okay, what's good and what's not good, right?
00:47:19.940What's legal and what's not legal, a lot of this stuff, a lot of these takes here in this case just come from a distaste of his political positions.
00:47:27.660I don't see a lot of this coming from actual legal analysis or actual judicial practice from either of these guys.
00:47:34.600Well, one of them is not an attorney, so I can't blame him.
00:47:36.900But the guy who's not wearing a tie, that guy should know better.
00:51:04.500I mean, his thing is, like, yo, it's because, you know, he had information, like, just because I know it's classified that it's going to more than likely be national defense, which that may be true.
00:51:13.840But I think the government's strongest charge is actually the, like I said, what we said, the obstruction.
00:51:23.320Violated that statute is because that's one of the statutes cited in the search warrant for which the judge found there was probable cause to believe that statute had been violated and that there was evidence of that crime on the property of Mar-a-Lago.
00:51:41.320Like, give me the spectrum of punishments that we could see and, you know, from from best in his case to worst and also what you think is most likely.
00:51:50.760For openers, Donald Trump is facing 20 years in prison.
00:53:03.080So the fact that he's saying he's going to get 20 years under this statute, which is the fucking max is fucking ludicrous, my friend.
00:53:09.880And that goes to show you guys the difference between an AUSA would never say something this ridiculous, you know, but a military prosecutor can because in their world they could do this wild shit.
00:56:08.780What happens to Trump's attorney who signed that sworn statement attesting that all those classified documents that were held at Mar-a-Lago had already been returned?
00:56:15.160Like, does she get disbarred or could she actually face legal punishment herself?
00:56:29.840I'm going to give him a chance to save himself here real quick while this motherfucker is laughing over here because this is like a preposterous statement.
00:56:35.960But let's let me let me bring this up in a second.
00:56:39.800Hey, you know, first of all, let me let me back up.
00:56:42.600I've talked to a lot of my friends who operate kind of at the upper echelons of the white collar defense practice in D.C.
00:56:50.420Once again, his friends that I served with many years ago.
00:56:53.840And I said, look, I've never been a defense attorney, never wanted to be a defense attorney.
00:56:58.240But my understanding is that defense attorneys never certify that their criminal clients have turned over all the evidence of crime that they have.
00:57:10.460You're representing a bank robber as a defense attorney.
00:57:13.820It's not really in your job description to certify to the prosecutors.
00:57:18.040By the way, my client gave back all the money he stole from the bank.
00:57:22.000That's not the way the practice of law is supposed to play out.
00:57:25.940So Christina Bob is in potential deep legal jeopardy, not only professional jeopardy, because she will be referred to her state bar wherever she's licensed for an investigation to see whether she should be sanctioned or disbarred.
00:57:41.660But she is in legal peril because she certified something that is provably false.
00:57:47.320It's not something she should have certified in the first instance.
00:58:41.180First of all, everything this man just said was complete bullshit.
00:58:45.960Number one, first of all, there has been generally to be very fucking clear, there has been a prosecution of attorneys in a concerted effort to go after attorneys who represent people with views you don't like.
00:59:30.220This is the fundamental of our constitution.
00:59:32.200It's fundamental to our system of justice is that everybody deserves a fair and zealous defense.
00:59:37.780So you are never, ever supposed to attack an attorney for doing his job.
00:59:42.820And it is disgusting that this man who calls himself an attorney, who cosplays as an attorney, because clearly he's never been a real attorney in the actual U.S. legal system.
00:59:53.080He's worked in the separate military legal system, which honestly has nothing to fucking do with the actual legal system and practice of law.
01:00:01.300And you can tell because the way he represented himself here, the way he spoke about defending clients is disgusting.
01:00:07.540You can only talk like this if you work in a whole separate system, which is a whole separate system of values.
01:00:13.780This man does not hold the values of an American civil attorney or a criminal attorney in the regular U.S. justice system.
01:03:52.780So if we get there, Trump could file a bar complaint, right?
01:03:56.240And the worst that would probably happen was probably they'd be – probably they might be suspended or might be fined or might be punished, right?
01:04:02.960I don't think they're going to get disbarred for it.
01:04:04.960I don't think it was a big enough issue.
01:04:09.060Disbarment usually involves, frankly, the biggest reason people get disbarred, so everybody in your audience knows, is from embezzling money, frankly.
01:04:17.580So if you take your client's money –
01:04:19.900Actually, you know what's funny, Myron?
01:04:56.040And the federal prosecutor would have to have a good amount of information to be able to do it because if you make a bullshit allegation to the bar, you can lose yours.
01:05:06.920They would have to – I don't think the federal – yeah.
01:05:08.780So if I was – I'm saying they could do it, but I don't think the federal prosecutor would do it because you have to understand the relationship between attorney and client, what was said, what wasn't said, to realize whether they breached their duty.
01:05:18.560Because that's the duty that's being breached that can be potentially criminal is if you breach a duty to your client.
01:06:20.240Matter of fact, one of the FBI agents that was involved in busting the 9-11 case, one of the biggest things he got was to turn and inform it was he said a bunch of Lebanese people were killed in the 9-11 attacks.
01:06:31.260And that's how he was able to go ahead and identify a bunch of people that were in charge of the 9-11 attacks.
01:06:42.800Maybe not predicated her – this entire thing on trusting what Donald Trump says.
01:06:47.900Yeah, but let's, you know, let's recognize that she is now one of a long line of attorneys that Donald Trump has touched and they have died, right?
01:07:01.280Every attorney Donald Trump touches died.
01:07:04.040I think we're looking at Michael Cohen.
01:07:04.620Michael Cohen in words, Sidney Powell.
01:08:01.560Who, according to Christina Bob, is the one who really conducted the search of Martin's –
01:08:07.000Mar-a-Lago for additional classified materials and then told me he didn't find any, so you already have two of Donald Trump's lawyers doing a little bit of finger pointing.
01:10:02.480No, but I don't think there is a legal prohibition.
01:10:06.360Of course, that's something that the Supreme Court has never taken up because, you know, go figure, we've never had a presidential candidate behind bars during the campaign.
01:10:17.040So – but no, I think practically speaking, that's a non-starter.
01:10:20.220But that's just in this case because there are other cases like the one being investigated regarding January 6th that would have those –
01:10:28.280– to him holding federal office in the future, correct?
01:10:30.100Exactly, because there are some statutes on the books, for example, a seditious conspiracy, I believe, that say if you are convicted of that crime – treason is another one of those crimes – if you are convicted, then the statutory punishment that the judge could impose includes banning someone from future federal office.
01:10:52.940So, in theory, that is one way to stop not only Donald Trump from running for office, but any other of the insurrectionists in Congress, if they are convicted of any of those charges.
01:11:06.520See, and the way he says that presumes that these people are guilty.
01:11:10.040Once again, there's no proof of any of this.
01:11:13.760There's no case out there that's going to do any of this.
01:11:16.340But he's labeling other people in Congress as insurrectionalists.
01:11:19.920It's pretty much just saying, hey, if you politically support this person, you're an insurrectionist.
01:11:24.840That is the definition of political warfare.
01:11:27.920That's the definition of having a political opinion.
01:11:30.840And he gave away the ball in the beginning, and he continues to give it away here.
01:12:27.040The way to fix that is to bring in an unbiased person and have them review it.
01:12:30.860Why are you fighting an unbiased person coming in?
01:12:33.900Yeah, the taint team isn't good enough.
01:12:35.520Like on a regular investigation, sure, you can run that taint team situation.
01:12:39.360I've done it before in my investigations, sure.
01:12:41.560But something like this, with this type of national spotlight, with a type of person that you're investigating, a former president of the United States, yes, let them have it, you know?
01:12:52.440And obviously the DOJ argued and said, this is just the Trump and legal defense team trying to stave off the inevitable.
01:13:00.880It is what it is because the thing is now, the reason why they're mad is because the FBI agents, if you guys, for some of you guys that are wondering,
01:13:06.380the FBI just cannot go ahead and continue their criminal investigation while the special master is being selected and while the special master goes ahead and goes through the documents.
01:13:17.280That's another reason why, too, the DOJ is mad because it sets back the investigation probably for a few months here because now the special master is going to have to be involved and he's going to be the arbiter in between the two parties.
01:35:37.200Let all those who have organized for justice know that I stand with you and I'm going to stand not only with you, but continue to fight in every way that I can for justice.
01:39:15.280One thing I've realized is that the more educated people are, a lot of the times, the more indoctrinated they are and the less intelligent they are.
01:39:21.860Education does not necessarily mean intelligence.
01:39:24.660It's incredible the level of stupidity.
01:39:27.100And what I'm starting to realize, Andrew, too, is that people lack the ability to critically think.
01:39:45.020We are going to go ahead and disclose our personal biases.
01:39:48.500However, we're on this fucking street and telling you guys right now, even though we like Trump, that more than likely, based off of the facts, fuck our feelings.
01:39:57.100There's a good chance he's going to get indicted.
01:39:58.800And we gave you guys the charges more than likely the government has the strongest case on him with, regardless of the fact of how we feel, because we think that this is what's going to happen.
01:40:44.200The only thing that powers them is this derangement.
01:40:46.300And it's kind of funny, too, because you see that when Trump goes away, they got nothing, you know, and they'll either start attacking each other, which happens in a lot of different issues and places, or their whole position falls apart because they really got nothing to stand on.
01:40:59.620It's just, yeah, we don't like that guy.
01:41:54.120The document is classified as irrelevant.
01:41:55.720It's a question of mishandling national security information, even if they have been declassified.
01:42:02.400Meanwhile, Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, having been subpoenaed, is now, according to CNN, cooperating with the Justice Department investigation into January 6th.
01:42:13.100At least 40 Trump associates have been subpoenaed in recent weeks, part of a widening probe into efforts to overturn the presidential election.
01:42:20.600That is also the focus in Georgia, where a grand jury is investigating Trump-led maneuvers to undercut the state's 2020 results.
01:42:28.600The district attorney told the Washington Post—
01:42:32.240So the fact that CBS is trying to make this the same thing is—it just shows you they're, once again, trying to correlate all these things into one.
01:42:50.600Honestly, frankly, I haven't looked at this one, but I don't think that he directly will be indictable on this.
01:42:56.260I think that the actions will go down a step or two lower on the lottery if there is anything, but I haven't looked into it, so I don't want to comment on something that I haven't looked into enough specifically.
01:43:07.440I don't have enough on this either, so I can't speak on it.
01:43:09.840Also, we've got to be very fucking careful how we cover election stuff on YouTube because that still is a touchy subject, unfortunately, that we can't talk about.
01:43:18.700We can't keep it 100 and say exactly everything we could say about the elections.
01:44:33.940And by the way, even – by the way, Trump, too, even some of the justices he's picked aren't as conservative as you think they are.
01:44:39.300But they just ruled one of them, Kavanaugh, which, you know, people were making fun of him for that Dobbs decision, the one that set back Rowe.
01:44:59.400But we're going to see a lot of court cases that will be very interesting going forward.
01:45:04.140And what happens with the court will be very interesting going forward.
01:45:06.880And remember, this case could potentially also come before the Supreme Court because of the issue of executive privilege, which has never been brought up before, which honestly would be the first new area of law.
01:45:19.540This would be a new area of law that is breached for the first time in history.
01:46:01.920A rando reporting someone to the bar is not going to get somebody in trouble.
01:46:05.040In fact, that rando might even get in trouble themselves, particularly if that rando is a lawyer who doesn't know shit about what they're talking about, like this baldhead motherfucker right there.
01:46:48.040Like I told you guys before, I really don't mean to toot my own horn here and talk shit, but there is no one else on YouTube that's going to go ahead and have a former Fed
01:46:56.440and an attorney, still practicing, by the way, giving you guys this sauce, reading legal documents with you guys.
01:47:01.940These other ass clowns are not reading the documents.
01:47:03.640You think this Cohen ass clown is reading documents?
01:47:05.500You don't even know what the hell some of these charges are.
01:47:06.980And once again, he's a YouTuber and the judge is not practicing at all.
01:47:10.460And once again, he's not even actual attorney in the real U.S. justice system.
01:49:59.120But I will say this, you know, coming from Homeland Security where I did immigration investigations myself, criminal immigration investigations, not administrative, which are two different things, by the way.
01:51:57.620It's incredible to me how people think that they should be able to get the utmost of something while simultaneously not having to forego something else.
01:52:04.760Plus, that's just the way things work.
01:52:06.800If you're getting a plus, there's always going to be a negative.
01:52:29.720Giving people the reality of what the hell's going on here.
01:52:31.960But, no, I think it's hilarious, just to get my personal way in, I think it's hilarious that they ship these guys off to these sanctuary states.
01:52:40.320If you guys haven't seen some of these memes, like the Obama's faces over the McCloskeys with the guns, you know, the guys who are out there on the lawn with the guns, it's the Obama's faces in Martha's Vineyard.
01:52:49.980I mean, it's absolutely hilarious that they sent them specifically to Martha's Vineyard, one of the most affluent places in the United States.
01:52:55.760And they said, oh, we don't have the resources.
01:53:01.280Because a bunch of these states have issues with, like, any type of immigration.
01:53:04.160I mean, I remember when I was an agent, guys, there were certain places, like, if you went to go ahead and serve a warrant for, like, human smuggling conspiracy, like a smuggler that was smuggling in illegal aliens, sometimes the local PDs would not assist you.
01:53:17.860I know Austin PD was notorious for that.
01:53:20.500If you had a warrant for somebody, right, and it was a federal warrant where it was an immigration violation, but it was a criminal immigration violation, human smuggling conspiracy, whatever.
01:53:29.080And these guys are U.S. citizens, by the way.
01:53:30.700The idiots that are coordinating and orchestrating all these things where people are getting killed, hurt while being transported into the United States illegally.
01:53:37.220These are U.S. citizens overseeing these operations most of the time.
01:53:40.100Or green card holders that, quite frankly, don't deserve to be green card holders committing crimes in the United States.
01:56:07.580And what happens is you let these illicit organizations make tons of money.
01:56:11.780And the other thing, too, you don't have any terrorists that have been smuggled into the United States, right, through the southwest border that people don't know about because we've thwarted attempts.
01:56:21.160You know, me, including myself, I've thwarted attempts where they've tried to fucking bring people in that had issues, if you know what I'm saying, from the high side, where they were involved in some particular activities that may or may not endanger U.S.
01:56:32.920National Security and these motherfuckers are coming in.
01:56:35.240It's not like the cartels are like, oh, yeah, bro, you know, you're a terrorist.
01:57:08.520But they're not talking about all the crazy people that come in.
01:57:10.680I can't tell you guys how many times where we've caught a load and there were several convicted felons in that load of illegal aliens that were trying to come into the United States.
01:57:18.280Child molesters, criminals, robbers, drug dealers, people that had been deported multiple times, which is felony, people that have killed people all the time.
01:57:29.020You know, but anyway, that's a whole other thing.
01:57:31.460Not to make this an immigration debate, but it's a good one.
01:58:27.980But at the same time, this is why I hold people accountable.
01:58:30.100Like, if you're born in the United States and you're a bum, dude, you deserve to be a fucking bum.
01:58:34.480Because I've seen people die to come here that find a job, still make it work, even though they came here illegally.
01:58:39.260They paid $10,000, $20,000 to some human smuggling organization based out of fucking Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
01:58:45.420And they're still owe money and they still figure out a way to fucking get that money, pay their debt off, and still stay here and figure it out and get a job.
01:58:51.100Meanwhile, you fucking assholes are sitting here complaining that, you know, I don't get enough welfare.
01:58:54.860And accountability is something that we got to bring back.
01:58:57.520I mean, accountability is something that, you know, the justice system, the legal system, it's there to give us legal and illegal accountability, right?
01:59:04.640But we got to have personal accountability to fix a lot of these issues.
01:59:07.540And a lot of these issues are only going to be fixed when we fucking take charge of ourselves.
01:59:11.060Like Myron said, no one can fix your shit unless you're a bum.
01:59:13.700And that's what he tries to talk about on his channel.
