Of course this is total speculation, but releasing this and then trying to appeal his case because of it sounds exactly like something trump/his lawyers would do..
That's why they've been acting so belligerently in the civil case. They want the judge to fight them on their outrageous stunts, but he's not giving them any feasible reason to warrant an appeal.
The judge is even joking with them and making them feel safe in his arms, lol.
I thought it was pretty funny that the multiple hours long promotional 'documentary' they insisted be admissible evidence contained inaccuracies (perjury).
They just keep making the situation worse. It's like watching such a slow moving train wreck. Like the steamroller scene from Austin Powers, but drawn out longer.
Why do I see Trump's team attempting to turn this into an issue that can be used as the basis for an appeal?
"Your Honor, the crazy radical leftist prosecutors would not allow us to review evidence that is crucial to our case unless we visited their office. They made the evidence available only at inconvenient times and obviously bugged the room so they could listen in on our defense strategy. Since they only made the evidence available six months before the trial, which is clearly not enough time to watch half a dozen videos, I demand that the verdict be overturned, and the entire case thrown out. I also demand that Fani Willis be deported and Jack Smith excommunicated by the pope."
--Trump's legal team, probably
They're probably going to try that, but those proceedings are televised, that judge is no joke.
It will be appealed, that's guaranteed. Whether there's anything to appeal, sure. Every DA's office screws up. Let's hope they're on this one.
This isn't just the case of a career, it's going to be hard to upset as the most consequential case any Fulton County DA has ever tried. They also spent the time to make sure they got the charges meticulously right, and gathered all the evidence possible. People make mistakes, but it really seems like they've done everything possible to keep the error rate low
It's a little too late but canary traps would have been a great idea.
Yes, that would have been a good idea. They probably should have seen this coming. I can't recall for certain, but I don't think this is the first time discovery information was leaked by the defense in a trump trial.
You got my brain turning. It's such an easy and well-known thing, why isn't it used more often?
The government’s main witness, Sidney Powell, just cleared Rudy Giuliani from any involvement in a conspiracy by making it unequivocally clear that Rudy Giuliani told her that he would never work with her on anything, under any circumstances
— Ted Goodman, political adviser to Giuliani

Because not working with one person is the same thing as precluding literally everyone on the planet.
Bwahah, yeah right he introduced her as being on the legal defense team on camera at at least one press conference.
Notably, the infamous leaking hair dye press conference

Prosecutors said the footage was turned over to the remaining defendants as part of discovery, urging the court to impose restrictions on how the defendants can disclose the materials.
Fucking trash people.
