Trump lawyer Victoria Toensing appealed a lower court ruling on Friday that rejected her request to have prosecutors return a search warrant executed on her.
To be fair to Teonsing, perhaps she has records on there that she needs having to do with legitimate legal work for clients that is privileged? The big question is whether or not there is a reasonable assertion to be made that evidence on the phone is pertinent to whatever investigation(s) are underway really. Certainly a judge has already approved the search warrant so there is that already on the record as to the pertinence of the phone in the investigation(s) by the DOJ, etc. It’ll be interesting to see what happens on appeal, although changes are, the warrant will stand, and the info will not be made immediately available to her…one assumes.
She is not the first attorney to receive such a subpoena. There is a process for review for possible privilege issues and it’s not done by the target of the subpoena. As prose utors she and Rudy would have laughed at such a request.
Yep. The point is not that she thinks she’s going to actually win on this, she is going for the optics and propaganda effect for the ignorant MAGAts and will plead that she is being unfairly treated (yada yada yada)…
