    We can assume at least some of these documents compromise allies as well.

    It’s not usual for the US attorney general to visit The Hague, but Merrick Garland did last month, and there’s been talk in diplomatic circles that trump severely damaged relations with the US’s allies.

    We’ll likely never know the worst of this.

    e: also it’s not just 12 jurors. It’s both teams of attorneys, dozens of paralegals, the entire staff of the prosecutors including the investigation team, everyone on the defendant’s staff, plus others. For a case this size, you’re talking like a hundred people, some of whom are underpaid enough to jump at a tabloid’s offer of 100k to squeal. The government won’t take that chance.

      We can assume that trump already texted selfies to the defense team of him standing in front of the bathroom mirror, holding everything, while wearing that shit eating grin of his.
