About the Episode

Carlos De Oliveira is in hot water. Why does that matter? Because Senior de Oliveria worked for Senor Donald Trump at his golf club and residence known as Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. De Oliveira told the FBI earlier this year that he knew nothing about the secret government documents Trump was in his residence. Telling the FBI a lie can get you several years of prison time-unless- unless-unless you give them something that’s a lot larger than your presence in a prison. If you have valuable information that allows them to go after a much bigger fish, you may not end up drowning your tomorrows in the pen.

The big fish he can give them is his boss, the former President of the United States. If he can tell a grand jury and then a trial jury that Donald Trump told him to wipe a server containing important surveillance footage, then the Prosecutor has the President where he wants him – not just committing a crime but giving the jury the proof that he knew what he was doing was criminal. The biggest burden on every prosecution is proving the accused had a criminal mindset, knew that what they were doing was wrong-criminally wrong. Every jury member is expected to know that Donald Trump wasn’t trying to get rid of evidence that little green men from Mars were planting evidence to incriminated him.

The destroyed surveillance footage wouldn’t be of FBI agents planting evidence. It would have to be connected to Trump and that’s why Trump would have told Carlos De Oliveira to get rid of it. The uncomfortable truth for Trump fans is that this may be the lynch pin that puts Trump in the pen. But just because it’s uncomfortable doesn’t make it untrue.
