Trump FL Indictment: Walt Nauta Also Charged

Here is the Florida Indictment charging Donald Trump and his aide Walt Nauta in the Classified Documents case.

Trump is charged in a whopping 37 counts. Nauta, a is charged in 6 counts. Who is Walt Nauta?

[A] military aide working as a White House valet while Mr. Trump was president.

Nauta retired and went to work for Trump as a personal aide after Trump left Washington. [More...]

According to the Times article, he refused to cooperate against Trump and therefore got indicted, based on surveillance footage showing him moving boxes and, on another occasion, finding the contents of a spilled box, including one showing "SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY."

How would a valet have known FVEY stands for the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance whose members are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain and the United States? (I don't think I knew that until 2012 when they popped up in Kim DotCom's Megaupload case as the result of the New Zealand Prime Minister issuing an apology to Dotcom for illegally intercepting him.

Allegedly,Nauta texted another employee “I opened the door and found this…”

Trump is now proclaiming the innocence and berating the horrible government that indicted Nauta. Maybe Trump needs to blame himself for having Nauta do his dirty work for him.

    There are a number of possible reasons (5.00 / 1) (#3)
    by Peter G on Sat Jun 10, 2023 at 10:55:13 AM EST
    from the POV of prosecutorial strategy for indicting Nauta. First, he committed (according to the prosecutors) the cardinal sin of promising to cooperate and then lying in his FBI interview. See Count 38. This turned him from a potentially great insider witness to a dangerous liability, easily accused (were he to testify for the govt against Tr*mp) of being a liar and thus casting doubt on the credibility of Special Counsel's entire case. Second, it probably blocks him from testifying as a sympathetic witness for Tr*mp. And third, if they stand trial together it gives the jury someone to feel sorry for and cut a break, possibly acquitting him on some or all counts. If so, and if Tr*mp is convicted by the same jury at the same trial, that helps the prosecutors on appeal (and in the court of public opinion), in that it underscores the reliability of the verdict by showing the jury to be discriminating and careful rather than emotional or biased. And there may be other reasons.

    I encourage everyone read the indictment.

    in the presence of his attorney, and proceeded voluntarily to answer their questions. In my decades of federal criminal defense experience this indicates a "proffer session," which is the first step in a strategy of cooperating. (Not necessarily "cooperating" in the sense of agreeing to become a witness against others, but in the sense of not standing on a Fifth Amendment/"prove it" approach, but rather a "we have nothing to hide" attitude.)

    at some point, Waltine Nauta may want to reconsider whether he wants to be a criminal  defendant or a witness to a crime.

    Nauta, along with Trump, is alleged to have helped pack the boxes before leaving the White House.  Cooperation would seem likely to have been sought by prosecutors to bolster the case (and may still be extremely important if Judge Cannon does not permit admission of  key evidence).

    Indeed, if Nauta had cooperated at the outset, Jack Smith may have filed the case in Washington, DC rather than Florida, having a fact witness to the starting point of the unlawful misadventure.

    Nauta, the former Navy cook and petty officer (a military valet who fetched diet cokes for Trump at the White House) followed Trump to Mar a Lago when he left office becoming an aide on a Trump PAC payroll.

    Nauta was booked in Miami federal court but was not arraigned along with Trump, and granted bond with the same conditions as Trump.  But he was not arraigned because he did not have a local attorney and asked for an extension, which was scheduled for June 27.

    It has been reported that Trump is paying his legal costs, but Nauta May not want to bet the farm on that. Also, he may find his shiny new life to become tarnished as have so many of Trump's once upon a time loyalists. Facing jail time may have an impact on his thinking. That proffer may start to look a lot better, if it is still on the table.

    Based on your legal experience don't you think it was unwise for Nauta to "not stand on the Fifth" if he had something to hide?  If they have solid evidence that he is lying, wouldn't you recommend that he start cooperating ( in the sense of agreeing to become a witness against others)?

    Nauta's valid choices were silence (and take your chances), negotiate a pre-indictment guilty plea to some acceptable, lesser charge without cooperating, or complete and honest cooperation. There is no in-between. Once you pretend to cooperate and then lie, it is very unusual for the government to give you a second chance, because it so damages your value as a witness. I have only seen someone given that second chance who was the sole, inside witness to a very serious crime committed by someone else against whom the government does not otherwise have sufficient evidence but desperately wants to "get." I am thinking, for example, of a Mafia turncoat hitman willing to testify against the Boss or Underboss.

    When asked on Fox News (natch!) yesterday about Trump's arraignment, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) responded with a question: "If his name was Donald Smith, would this be happening?"

    No, it wouldn't. As you just noted above, if his name was Donald Smith, he'd have already been arrested, denied bail and jailed last year pending his trial.

    Or as I can also see it, if his name was Donald Smith, he would have been drafted into the Army right out of high school 59 years ago, and then sent to Vietnam where he'd have developed a taste for opium. Then he'd would've returned to the states and discharged with undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder. No doubt, he would probably have been married and divorced several times by now. And today, he'd be on SSDI and living with his eldest daughter and her family, waiting patiently by the phone - even as we speak - for the VA to return his call to schedule an appointment to see a doctor four months hence about his chronic opioid addiction.

    The GOP's perverse sense of victimhood is simply repulsive.

    I watched Pray the Gay Away on Netflix and it was really informational. The Bush campaigned literally sat in a room brainstorming and made up crap about gay people. They said oh, we can't just be against gay marriage because that is not scary enough. We have to say gays want to destroy traditional marriage among other things like you can marry a toaster.

    A motion "in limine" (at the outset, i.e., before trial) to bar the use of the Corcoran evidence on Atty-Client Privilege grounds is an obvious defense move. If the motion is granted, Smith would have a right to appeal that ruling pretrial (most pretrial rulings are not appealable) if he is willing to certify that the evidence is important to his case (which it appears to be). See second paragraph the governing statute.

    by KeysDan on Mon Jun 12, 2023 at 12:00:48 PM EST
    in the investigation, pre-indictment.  She granted Trump's request for a special master on the basis of executive privilege, so as to review the documents seized by the FBI limiting and delaying their use in the investigation.

    Judge Cannon acknowledged she was treating the case differently because of the greater risk to reputation for Trump than to an ordinary citizen. In an order, she wrote  "As a function  of plaintiff's former position as President of the United States the stigma associated with the subject seizure is in a league of its own".

    On appeal, the very conservative 11th Circuit bench slapped Cannon, overruling her twice, in strong language ,and shutting the whole thing down.

    Judge Cannon should recuse herself from having anything to do with this case. A federal law (28 USC section 455) requires federal judges, including SC justices, to disqualify themselves, in any proceedings in which their "impartiality might reasonably be questioned". It would not seem out of line or be unreasonable to question her impartiality.  And, it is hoped that the special Counsel will do do.

    most of the counts, although perhaps not all of them, without the Corcoran evidence. But if you look at the statute I linked, you'll see that the evidence at issue need only be "a substantial proof of a fact material in the proceeding" for the prosecution to have a right of pretrial appeal from an order excluding evidence. Not that high a standard to allow an expedited emergency appeal if Judge Cannon makes a crazy ruling. I say "crazy" because the facts, as I understand them, present a textbook case for the "crime-fraud exception" to the attorney-client privilege.

    seems bullet-proof with or without the pierced attorney-client information by Judge Beryl Howell. It reads like a suspenders and belt indictment, but it probably would make things harder for the prosecution, and you never can be sure in a case like this.

    And, too, the defense may continue attempts to whittle the indictment, at least delaying and delaying., especially if Cannon plays her MAGA hand.  Special Counsel, hopefully, has planned for much of this in decision-making regarding going it in Florida.

    Still curious to me how Cannon was assigned, once again, to this case.  If just luck of the draw, she should run, not walk, to a local  convenience store near her to buy a lottery ticket.

    "Former President Donald Trump and his personal aide, Walt Nauta, were ordered by a federal magistrate judge on Tuesday to not discuss their criminal case, even though the two work closely and see each other practically every day," the New York Times reports.

    "Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman, who oversaw the hearing, said that any discussions related to the case must go through their lawyers. Mr. Trump and Mr. Nauta have been charged with conspiring to obstruct a federal investigation into Mr. Trump's handling of dozens of classified documents after he left office."

    "The restrictions -- which do not apply to other topics of conversation -- are common for co-defendants in a criminal matter, but they could be particularly challenging to uphold given that Mr. Nauta's job is to follow the former president through his days, attending to various needs."

    While a reasonable goal would be to resolve the case prior to the Republican primaries, and certainly before the 2024 election, so as to inform the electorate, it may be better, from a political point of view, to proceed with the trial as the presidential campaigns continue.

    ... and analyzing this situation strictly from a strategic sense, I'd wait for Judge Aileen Cannon to first engage in what could reasonably be surmised by a lay person like me as an overtly performative act on behalf of the defendant(s), before actively seeking her recusal.

    There's really no sense lighting the fuse of that firecracker before there's a good reason to do so. In that regard, I'm going to assume that Judge Cannon isn't a mad, raving, looney tunes MAGAlomaniac and can still be somewhat reasonable, at least from a selfish perspective.

    I mean, Cannon is what, 40-41 years old? Through no fault of her own and thanks to a freakish alignment of the stars in the fall and winter of 2020-21, she's now got a great gig - for life! Why phuque all that up by falling on her sword professionally on behalf of a man who, legally and politically, has likely already been mortally wounded?

    The odds of the 11th Circuit Court once again sweeping aside her nonsense upon DOJ's almost certain appeal are pretty good. Further, she'll have given the next Democratic-led Congress a thoroughly legitimate and more than decent reason to go all Alcee Hastings on her.

    Of course, I freely concede that Aileen Cannon could also prove me wrong by yelling "Yah-HOO! I'm cuckoo for cocoa puffs! Cuckoo for cocoa puffs! Cuckoo for cocoa puffs! ..." from the bench at Jack Smith & Co., Ltd., whereupon she will probably appear at her future House impeachment hearing dressed in a bear skin with a Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes helmet on her head, snarling through her testimony like a wolverine whose prospective next meal had just been purloined by a pack of coyotes.
